What Is Thought of the
Mayors Bill Now.

The great local question Btil1 is. "Who shall
havo the Offices ?" The billiard-match las
dropped out of sight, aud ia not thought Of in
tho,presenco Of this important subject, which Is
talked Of in tho saloons. on the street-coruora,
and around tho City Hull. Each candidate has
80 many friends, and thoy 10 warm in oxproas-
ing their opinions TINT it ia not surprising that
Mr. colyin is beginning to DO s. little worn out,
and to think tlat tho discomforts Of office arc
upon him long before Its pleasures.
Outside Of the motley crowd Of people who
arc in pursuit Of Offices, large or small. aro the
taxpayers, who do not naingle In this strife,
but who mo deeply Interested in its re-
suits, since thereon depends, to considerable
e1tont, the nu,ount Of taxation thoy will laye to
F.; beAr for q year or two. Iu order to minister to
their information and consolation, reporter was
directed to again call upon TINT prominent mem-
ber Of tho Peoples party who, under tho alias Of
John Smith, had boon proHtablY interviewed
upon previous OCCASION. He was aH communi-
catiyo as before. and gave what may bo called q
reyisod and corrected Wow Of tho situation as 1t
stood yesterday.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
Tic Kcportor-I layo called around, hIr. Smith,
to SEQ it you had any further information in ro-
gard
AIr. smitll-Always finish up old business
before you begin with now. You we're
pretty accurate in your report Of what l
naid to you Wednesday,, except In regard
to the Board Of Health. did not Bay that Dr..
Miller was to be turned out, but that ho would
not be reelected Sanitary Superintendent. You
know Medill appointed him to that position last
summer, and Tuloy decided that ha Ind power
to appoint him only till December. It ia doubt
fnl, too, whether Colyiu will insist on appoint
ing ony ono, since it ia reilly question whether
the Board itself has not tho power to elect tho
Superintendent, notwithstanding tho Mayors
bill.
Tho Roportcr-I naoapt tho correction. Nov,
how ia the situation to-day7 Has it altered auy
ainco Wednesday?
THE IRISH AND oERalASs.
hit. 6mith-No, not exactly, except that our
Irish friends aro II little moro excited than they
were, while tho Germans are better natured,
since tloy see that tho Irish are not going to
got everything.
The Roportor-What are tho Germans to
hive?
Mr. snith-Nothing in particular, except tho
Police Superintondency, but the Irish aro not to
anallow up everything, aud tl.at consoles them.
The Reporter-What intorfered with tho
Irish? Worc thoy epllt IN among themselves ?
Mr. siaith-something stood in tho way which
thoy uo,or dreamed of, md Tint was
Colgin. Tho idca was that Lo WAS to
be m amio,,1o flcure.ncad who was to
DO just what le was biddon, It was supposed
that the Isirh aud Gcrmaps would fight tor him,
aud that ono or tho other side would get md
control him.
