Pollock for Revenue Collector.
The president has nominated William ]
Pollock to be collector of internal revenue
at Philadelphia, and Frank Case to be
collector of internal revenue at Pittsburgh.
It was not expected that either of these
offices would be filled until next week,
and Mr.. Pollock, who had been in Wash
ington for two days, prepared to 60 home
Wednesday night, when he was suddenly
asked to remain. Mr.. POilock's nomina-
tion was requested by both the
senators, Attorney General Brewster,
Congressman Bingham and Harmer,
representative, commercial and manu-
featuring associations in Philadelphia and
by many of the leading citizens. The
! nomination of Case was unexpected to
many of the politicians in the western part
| of the state. Thomas w. Davis, the pre-
sent Collector, had made a desperate fight
for the place, and many of Case's friends
in Pittsburg had given up the idea OF his
appointment.
The selection of Case will cause some
heart burning among Pittsburg politicians.
The nomination of Frederick A. Tuttle, of
Nevada, to be Governor Of Arizona, is a
disappointment to the friends of Judge
VIM. Bum, of Philadelphia, who was a
candidate for the place. Judge Bum had
tho support of nearly all the members of
the Pennsylvania delegation except Sem
ator Mitchell, and he was endorsed by
many prominent citizens Of Philadelphia.
Tuttle is friend Of Senator Jones, who
secured his appointment.
