TAMMANY'S CHOICE

George B. Mcclellan, picked by Tam
many as its candidate for the mayor
atty of New York, is still young man.
He was born in Dresden, Germany, in
1865, while his parents were there on
visit. Here are the main points in
his career: Graduated from Princeton
in 1886, held reportorial and editorial
positions on several New York newspa-
pers, became lawyer, president Of
the board of aldermen 1923, member
54th, 55th, 56th and 57th congresses.
Mcclellan has reputation for in
tegrity and dignity. Even since ne
went into politics no aspersion has ever
been cast on his character. He is a
good looking young man, knows how to
keep his temper in trying situations
and has good address.
Mcclellan could have had the mayor
atty nomination in 1901, but he and his
friends saw the reform movement
sweeping down on the town like DO
lltical tornado, and Bre'r Mcclellan lay
low. 1t is matter of history that
New York. takes its reform doses sing
ly and, therefore, Tammany is now con
fident that Mcclellan will be the next
mayor. Mcclellan belongs to the blue
bloods who live in mansions on the
HILL and he is popular on the east side
and in lower New York. He has the
confidence of the business men, and
yet is a through and through Tam
many brave. Thousands of democrat Is
who supported the reform movement
will swing in line for HIM. The Bowery
will swear by him.
His ability and his strong personal
qualities have enabled him to reap
hi"h public honors without digging in
political dirt. Croker, like George Cox

Richmond, Ind, Jan. Is.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
1t is within the knowledge OF all that
whenever there has been an investigation
of the affairs of the Prison South, or the
Keformatory, as ii has been known lately
there has invariably been a loud cry that
the management and officials were white
washed-that is, guilt may have been
found. but was covered UP. the influence
of those under investigation being such as
to accomplish this result: and so 1t will
be always hereafter. In many ways in
vestigation may be made farce when the
investigation applies to persons at the time
in control. Under complete new manage
ment, as nonpartisan as the present one,
IL would be possible for the smallest fault
to be discovered by legislative commit
tee, as the new management and officials
would be more interested in having a clean
job on their hands and would not stand
for covering up the faults of their prede-
cessors. IL there has been cruelty TO pris-
oners, imposition on the State and pris-
oners by the contractors in the prison
factories getting labor free: IL $500 900 has
been paid for buildings that were con-
tracted for at 100000 the average reader
of the daily papers In which such charges
are frequently made by responsible men
would certainly conclude that the accused
parties should not have opportunity TO hide
their faults. Let the old management go.

FAIRBANKS IN THE CITY
HE WILL DELIVER HIS SPEECH OF
ACCEPTANCE AT NOON TODAY.
The Senator Is Hopeful Of an Early
settlement Of the Alaskan Boun-
dairy Dispute.

Senator Charles w. Fairbanks arrived
home from Washington yesterday and to-
day at noon will deliver his speech of ac-
ceptance for the honor of reelection to
the United States Senate before a joint
meeting of both houses in the House of
Representatives. Senator Fairbanks says
he has been a busy man during the present
session of Congress, but he is enjoying per-
feet health.
Senator Fairbanks is hopeful for a speedy
settlement of the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton. He was chairman of the joint high
commission named during President Nc
Kinley's first term. The commission met
with Great Britain commission in Quebec
and later in Washington, and agreed as
to all the questions in controversy, except
the boundary dispute. When the joint COM
| mission adjourned In Washington the lat
ter part of February, 1899, the United
States commissioners insisted that the
Alaskan boundary question be decided by
a joint high commission Of three repre-
sentatives of the United States and Great
Britain. Great Britain insisted on a sew
enth member TO be named by a disinterested
country.
1T has been agreed that the matter of
settlement Of the boundary question shall
De the one proposed by the United States
commission when we adjourned in 1899. -
said Senator Fairbanks. There will be an
equal number from each country on the
| joint high commission. This commission
will consist of three representatives of the
United States and three from Great Britain,
and We will consider the terms of settle
ment that arose at the former meetings.
There should be no long delay or diff
Guilty In arranging the terms of settlement,
and the matter should go to the Senate
before long to be ratified. OF course, the
| terms of settlement are private at this
time, and will not be made public until the
Senate authorizes it,"
Senator Fairbanks expressed no doubt of
| the Senate ratifying the treaty. The SEN
ator will return to Washington on Thurs
| day.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-President Harry

to-day. He said:
1.-THE future looks bright for baseball.
Everything has been settled amicaby and
our meeting i'm Cincinnati has put an end
to any internal discomfort which may have
existed among the club owners of the Ma

members and the peace agreement was

When he was asked about rumors TO

leagues was not ended Mr.. Pulliam paused
for a moment and then said:

erection consult with any one, but forced
consultation with the Governor takes away
it's freedom of judgment and opens the way
for him to build up personal machine.
THE board having. according to the high
est authority, chosen the apparently best
available man for superintendent, we con-
slider the objection that this man did not
live in the State as childish and worthy of
the period of bad management. If the
board is removed the advocates of this bill
promise an investigation which will con-
vict the board of mismanagement. But Ii
has never been the Anglo-Saxon way first
to hang the accused and then to try him.
1--WE recall the investigation of the Cen
trail Hospital for the Insane by the General
Assembly in 1887, when representatives of
this association were three weeks before
committees of the Senate and House intro
ducing the evidence which proved a reck-
less, corrupt and cruel management that
made the name Of Indiana by-word. This
state of things was immediately preceded
by a law legislating former board out
of Office to make room for the crowd which
brought disgrace upon the State.
I'VE do not say that a similar result
would necessarily follow the success of the
present movement, but this movement is a
return to practice which was the founda-
ton OF former acknowledgement and whlch
was abandoned.
"Since its abandonment good manage
ment has gone forward by leaps and bounds
until Indiana has proud place wherever
men and women are gathered to consider
exclusion of politics and favoritism from
our institutions; but this bill opens the door
for them to enter again, and the dominant
influences which are urging the bill prove
that such is the aim.
1.-THE men in the General Assembly from
all parts of the State who are manfully
fighting this bill, regardless of covert
threats and of personal consequences, are
entitled to and will receive the thanks and
the appreciation of the people of Indiana.
We call upon all men and women of the
State who want to see good management
go forward and not backward in our state
institutions to give them support.

CHICAGO. Jan. 2s.-It is now practically
certain that the American Association will
give up its idea of transferring the ST.
Paul club to Chicago. President Hickey
returned from St. Paul to-day. and was
noncommittal regarding his plans in tbs
matter. saying that the question would be
left to the league magnates, who will meet
here in their annual session within two
weeks.
Despite his reluctance TO talk, however,
IL is known from authoritative sources that
the American and the National leagues will
oppose the placing of third club In Chi
cago, and with this the case IL Is almost
certain that the majority of the American
Association owners will not favor making
the move.
