"Phlladelphla Times.
1.-THE luck of the McMichaels is proven
bal" said the Old Politician as he shook
his head and wondered whether there was
any truth in the report that Colonel Clay
ton McMichael would be the next mayor
of the city. There Is no other family here
abouts the members of which nave been
hOnored as the McMichaels. Growing up
with the city with a newspaper accredited
ing with the solid end of the community.
Having wealth and social position on their
side helped materially. First came Morton
McMichael, the father, as mayor of the
city. Then the eldest son, Colonel William,
returned from the war and landed in the
United States district attorneys office as
first assistant under John X. Valentine,
where he remained for many years, finally
removing to New York city as the attorney
for a large corporation. When Chester A.
Arthur became President he called Colonel
Clayton McMichael the Chesterfield of the
family, to the natonal capital and made
him marshal of the District of Columbia.
Then there was a lull for awhile and
young Charles B.. McMichael. one of the
bright minds in the city solicitors depart
ment. was asked TO be a candidate for Com
mon Pleas Court judge. He went into the
fight, won and is now rounding out his first
term. How he does like TO get some of his
old-time associates on the jury in his court
so that when the official labors are ended
they can HE off to a quiet restaurant and
have. a nice, quiet dinner and discuss the
past.
After resting from his duties as United
States marshal. Colonel Clayton McMichael
was again called TO the front three years
ago to fill up the ticke for city treasurer.
He responded i'm his usual graceful manner
and at the end of December finished his
term. But the boys would not give him
a rest. When it was decided to drop
Thomas l.. Hicks as postmaster the poIiti-
clans were informed that his successor
must be above reproach and pure gold.
Clayton McMichael was at leisure. The
President knew him. He would pass mus
fer. So into the pOStOffiCe the colonel was
hustled. And there he will stay unless
there is a flare-up and things go wrong
next November. In that event IL may be
found necessary by the leaders to head
the mayoralty ticket with the postmaster.
Up 10 date all the McMichaels ave been
cared for.

POLITICAL ATTACK ON BONNELL.
Terre Haute Democrats AssaiI the Col
Iector of Internal Revenue.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 1.-The Ga
zette of last evening printed what pur-
ported TO be a special telegram from Wash
ington about charges being preferred
before the national Civil-service Commits
sion against Collector of Internal Revenue
Bonnell and saying that the commission
would order an investigation. The col
lector was accused of pernicious political
activity, discrimination against Democratic
subordinates when laying off men at times
of light work. padding the pay rolls and
using employees for political services.
Collector Bonnell's friends point out GER
tain phases of the so-called telegram to
show that it could not have come from
Washington. 1t is said that four Demo-
cratic gaugers and storekeepers did write
TO the commission in regard to the lay
offs and the commission informed them
that it was a matter which rested solely
with the collector. In behalf of the latter
IL is said that there has been no discrimi-
nation and that as many Republicans as
Democrats have lost time i'm this manner.

DISTRICT.
The Democrats Nominate Prof. Frank
f.. Herring to Congress.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
PLYMOUTH, Ind, April 2-The Demo
Gratis of the Thirteenth district met in this
city this afternoon and nominated Profess
sor Frank +. Herring, of Notre Dame Uni
versity, for member of Congress by accla-
nation. .
There was no other candidate. Elkhart
and St. Joseph counties have a majority
of the voters of the district and can NOM
mate whom they please. They were for
Herring and that settled it. But it is not
probable that any one else wanted to make
the race, as all the old leaders consider 1T
hopeless. Professor Herring is a young
man who has unbounded confidence in his
ability as a "spell-binder," and believes he
will be elected.
The resolutions arraigned the Republican
party for the conduct of the Philippine
war, denounced Imperialism and the ship
subsidy bill and declared that il was the
intention Of the Republican party to foster
trusts and enact legislation that would
make the poor man poorer and the rich
man richer.
Speeches were made by h. +. Shively and
others. The attendance from st. Joseph
county was large and all the other coun-
ties were partially represented. A great
show of enthusiasm was made.
