THE CITY CAMPAIGN.
Mayor McMaster's Opinion of the Issues In
yolved-Cottrell Wants To Be Mayor.

Although the city election is not until next
fall there are already several aspirants for mayor
quietly at work fixing things for the conven-
tions. Mr.. Thomas Cottrell, the police commits
sioner, who has made an unsuccessful endeavor
to substitute his own orders for statutory law
regards himself as the man who will be chosen
as the Democratic candidate He has the sup
port of Sim Coy, which is believed to be about
equivalent to the nomination Of the
Democratic party. The names of several
gentlemen have been suggested for the
Republican nomination, among the number be-
ing Mayor McMaster, General McGinnis, Harvey
b. Stout. Ed I'll. Dean, N. S. Byram, Brainard
Rorison and others.
1T would be some satisfaction to me- Mayor
McMaster stated to a Journal reporter yester-
day, Ito receive the nomination, but shall not
make any effort to get it by trying to influence
ward delegations. 1t seems to me that it is
rather early to begin the contest for the Office at
this time"
when do you think the nominating con-
vention ought to be heldl"
mot before some time in September. It is
mistake to nominate ticket for city officials
two or three months before the election, A
month is ample time"
What do you think the issues will be in the
local campaign this yearP
II believe that the issue will be law and order
against saloon lawlessness. If certain illegal Of
lenses are permitted il weakens the respect for
ali law, and, in consequence, no discrimination
can be safely allowed. / believe that the people
of indianapolis want the laws enforced. Posi-
bly, an issue may arise On the ordinance increas-
ing saloon license

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BILL.
A Bill Which Was Not Passed and Yet
Became Law.

Senator Winter is quite positive that the act
which has been found among the recent statutes
providing that the Attorney general shall receive
no fees and be allowed no deputy-collectors, is
not the bill which passed the Senate. It is the
original bill prepared by Senator Campbell
which it was decided by the judiciary COM
mittee was Objectionable for severakreasons, and
a substitute of only one section was agreed upon,
simply providing that the Attorney general
should receive no fees on the collection of the
States war-loan claim. This substitute was
submitted to the judiciary committee, was ex-
amined by the different members of it, and was
passed by the Senate. He believes that the
mistake occurred through the transmission to
the House of the original bill
and is the fault of the clerks
The Supreme Court has held that it cannot 60
behind the evidence of the Legislatures enact
ment of any law, and, although the act seriously
cripples the Attorney generals dffce ana will
doubtless cause an enormous loss to the State,
there is probably nothing that can be done to
evade the effect of the measure.

AMONG THE FEDERAL OFFICERS.
They Are Complacently Awaiting the Presi-
dents Pleasure.

The federal Ulcers are going along in the
much disturbed by the wolf-like wrangling
among the Democrats for the Offices which they
hold. Their expectations, however, regarding
their tenure Of Office are uncertain, and none Of
them would be much surprised If they should
come down some morning to find that suc-
cessor had been appointed to relieve them.
None Of them have received any informa-
ton from an official source that there
is likely to be any changes soon. 1.-THE Presi
dents course indicates his policy in regard to
appointments, said District-attorrey Holstein
to Journal reporter yesterday, land it is EVIL
dent that he has decided upon fixed rule regu-
lating all these matters. do not believe he
will make any removals before the expiration OF
official terms, except for cause. / think ne
wants to avoid having any trouble with the
Senate, and that therefore. his policy is to make
no changes during. tenure This has been his
course up to the present time"
How soon do you expect your successor to be
appointedr was asked
I'm about three years, when my term expires" "
II know nothing more about the matter than
learn from the published reports. I suppose
that John e. Lamb will be appointed when
change is made
Gen. Fred Kneferis losing no sleep on account
OF the probability that General Manson or Major
Zollinger, of Fort Wayne, may be appointed
to relieve him from the responsibilities of the
pension agency at this point.
II understand" remarked Gen. r.
S. Foster, the United States mar
shall, when asked about his Office,
that Ed. Hawkins, of LaPorte has been given
positive assurance that he will be appointed
marshal. AS to when change will be made is
all a matter Of guessing. My term expires in
October, and it may be that my successor will
not assume charge until then.n
There cannot very we'll be any change in the
management of this Office" Horace Mckay, the
collector OF internal revenue, stated to the Jour-
nal representative, 'for over two months yet.
We are now at work on the special
tax lists, and no new man could
take charge until this is completed, without en-
failing everlasting confusion. This work will be
finished about the last of next month. There
will then remain only one more month of the
fiscal year. If new collector comes in before
the expiration of that time it would become
necessary to open new set of books for the
fractional part of the year, and then another set
at the beginning of the new fiscal year. hardly
think, for these reasons, that there will be a
change before the last of june"
