GREENCAsTLE, Ind, Feb. 10.-There have
been sn unusual number of deaths in the
College City this week, seven persons being
buried yesterday and 10 day.
The interest in the Postofice race wakes
warmer and warmer as the day February
90 for holding the election approaches The
following named gentlemen are now in the
race: w. G. Ne1, Judge Bachelor, 0. Il.
HibbeD, James Gillespey, Ed HannemAn
and Howard Briggs, with new candidates
springing u , as rapidly as Johnny jump-ups
in al April shower. All of the candidates
are worthy gentlemen, but the choice of the
writer is Mr.. Briggs. editor of the Putnam
Democrat, aud the only newspaper man in
the race. We know that the editor, like an
honest man, "has 20 chance in this c0un-
try" and therefore our sympathy is
with our brother or the press. Mr.. Briggs
long and valuable services in
the cause of Democracy certainly deserve
some recognition at the hands of his fellow
Democrats. He has contributed much to the
victories of the Democracy in this country
and has never held an Office until his recent
appointment to minor position. The fact
of his holding this little $500 per year Office
Is now being urged against him by some OF
his opponents. Mr.. Briggs will hardly lay
up United States bonds or take summer
trips to Europe on bis private salary as Trus-
tee of the Bind Asylum. Haven't any of
his opponents held lucrative offices2 We
have an az 70 grind; ask no favors nor ex-
pect any. None of the candidates know what
the writer's sentiments are in the saua6ble
or VINO be will vote tor. We have merely
presented our views for the perusal of the
Sentinels Greencastle readers.
