Democratic Candidates views.

G eneral Reirer, of Vincsnnes. whom Charles
A. Munson defeated for the nomination of
Auditor of State. is in the city to at
tend the meeting of the State Board
of Agriculture. He has desire to
come again before the next Democratic State
convention for the same Office. but his state
ments to this effect not definite. The Dem
ocrats in his county and district, he says, are
talking great deal about Judge Niback for
Governor. If the Judge becomes a candidate
that will spoil Reiter's hopes, and he looks
at the matter in that way. He seemed
to be oblivious of the fact that Munson is again
a candidate for Auditor OF State, and the infor-
nation that the latter is working theoretically
for the nomination he regarded in the light of
i Important news. Mr.. Reiter also told last
night that 1t appeared If ex-Secretary of
State Myers, a gubernatorial candidate. End
Munsou were helping each other This pleased
him, for he said: II don't think the Democratic
ticket of last year will be renomnated."

The favors with which the gentlemen were
decorated at Mrs Days were of satin ribbons,

quotation or motto in gilt letters. which can be
kept as q souvenir of the day, for a book mark,
useful, but seldom heard of nowadays.

"lf these items OF expense or the aggregate
of them, should remain the same this year
last, 1t will be seen that only the sum of $118,
20o Will remain, with which to meet the expenses
of the other thirty classes or items of expenses
under which the accounts of the city are kept.
1t must not be forgotten, either that such de-
partments as the engineers, the City Hospital
and branch, and the City Dispensary as we'll as
the salaries OF all the city officers are included
IN these thirty items"
In speaking of what saving can be made, the
Mayor said: 1.-THE interest account will be
slightly increased. The cost OF the police de-
partment you cannot control. But. to it, the
public cannot reasonably ask or expect the
Police Commissioners to reduce the expenses.
The men are none too well paid. Neither ought
the number be reduced | am sure the present
board of commissioners have done, and are do
ing all they can to give the city an economical
and efficient police service.
Your predecessors entered into three-y ears
contract with the Indianapolis Water Company
the basis paid for water duEng the existence
of the previous contract. As several thousand
feet of new mains are annually laid, and as the
contract provides for locating one fire plug for
every five hundred foet of such mains at the rate
of $50 year for each ping, the cost of that de-
partment will be considerably increased.
Both the street repair and street improve
ment departments have been ueglec: ed so long
that the expense of maintaining them will,
almost Of necessity, be larger this year than
last. For the year lS74-5 the street repairs in
this city cost $S9, 434. and the citys portion of
the cost of original improvements amounted to
$65. 1893 Since that time there has been a grad
nal scaling down In the allowances for these de-
partments, until. above, the appropria-
tions for maintaining them last year were but a
little more than one-third what they amounted
TO twelve years The city's part of the
Washn eton street Improvement alone will near
ly equal the total of last years expenditures in
that department.; and. it mas become public
necessity for several of other principal
streets TO be at once put in better condition, il
is clear that the cost of maintaining tho two de-
partments referred to Will be increased this
year.
From the foregoing. it will be seen that the
