THE CAMPA|GN'S FIRST GUN Will Be Heard From Montgomery During the Present Month. THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS To Be Appointed by Governor Johnston Recalls the Memorable Fight of Last Winter
 -lt Will Not Be Repeated.

The political campaign has been pre- maturely precipitated It was intended to open the campaign early in the spring as the election does not occur until next August.
 The first move on the political chess board wll concern the complexion of the police commission The terms of A. H. Stevens, the present chairman, and M. c. Reynolds expire Dec. 31. Both of tfTem are staunch friends and supporters of Chief Mcdonald and stuck to him during the memorable fight of last winter.
 Street rumor has coupled many names with the appointments to succeed the retiring commissioners. It is said Mir Stevens will be a candidate for leap- pol1ntment. Prominently among the otl- CTS mentioned is John McCartin alder man from the Eighth ward. The ap- pointments will be made by Gov. John ston about the 18th of this month. Last year W. c. Garrett was appointed to succeed himself. A hard fight was made then to have an anti-McDonald man appointed. Both sides contested every move and Chief Mcdonald came out victorious. In the legislature un-
 
 again Mcdonald won.
 CHIEF M'DONALD'S TERM. During last December the commission elected Mcdonald chief of police for a term of two years, as prescribed by law. The act of the legisla ture creating the police commission prescribes that the chief shall hold for term of two years or until his successor qualities. It .s possible to remove him for cause, but the charges against him must be in writ ing and under oath.
 The aI1ti-McDona.ld men are said to he scheming to have their man appointed. In case they are successful it is thought another man will be elected chief Of police. The hard fight of last winter, however, will not be repeated. Chief Mcdonald was approached on this subject. He said he had nothing to say on the matter. q was elected last December for term of two years" said the chief, "and my term expires Dec. 31, 1898. l stand on my administration and have nothing to say"
 The Bimeltallic League has decided to put out ticket of six men for the leg islature. Their fight will be made within the party and during the primaries. As to the municipal election no candidate has been mentioned and the possibility

Green admitted yesterday afternoon
 When the fine and costs in the Bush" Hamilton case were settled that lndivid- ual left the city prison. He disappeared entirely, and has not been seen since. It is surmised that he at once left the city and re-ioined the circus which he represented.

 The trfal of the case on Monday was continued on account of the abssnce of one of these young men, who was con- sidered an important witness.

 AIN IMPORTANT FACTOR.

A very important factor in all future elections will be the German-American Union. Their entrance into politics dur ing the last municipal campaign resulted in the easy victory of both of their can- didates. They nominated and support- ed Aldermen Rainbow and Hentschel.
 In the future an active part VII be taken in all campaigns and a representa- tive of the union will be placed in the field as a candidate. No definite action has been taken as far as the next city election is concerned. It is more than probable that Legislative candidates will be placed before the people.
 Regarding the so-caled police conn., mission fight, the union has taken no definite action. They seek the appoint ment of msn who are in sympathy with the present city administration. They have indorssd no particular candidate, SD if fs claimed

STRENGTH UNKNOWN, BUT
 FEARED.

Another organization that will be Q ia ctor in future campaigns is the whole sale and retail liquor dealers. The claim is made that it is purely an orear. ization for mutual self-protection. Never theless, it is understood to be designed as a means of gaining the enactment of laws in which the liquor dealers Utter ests will not be neglected.
 Although quite a young organization fits treasury is well filled and thorough understanding prevails. They deny talk ing any hand in the police commission contest.
 It is we'll understood that the recent arrests of saloon porters for cleaning their places of business on Sunday called the Liquor Dealers association into ex- istence. Many people are of the opin- ion that the association are supporting an anti-McDonald candidate.
 The crop of candidates for the many offices is fast increasing in numbers.
