BANK, LOT tne Volleotorsnlp'
Oflate there has been considerabl
talk in the city as to who woul
probably be appointed as Collector Q
Internal Revenue of the Second Dis
trict, now held by Hon. Hunte
Wood, In connection with the name
of other prominent gentlemen Of tn
District we have heard that of Maj
S. r. Crumbaugh, President Of thC
First National Bank of this city
mentioned as one who would ill tn
office acceptably to the incoming ad
ministration.
Calling at the Majors private room
in the bank yesterday, we asked hin
if he had any designs on the Owens
boro Collecto7ship.
81 will answer that question by
saying that l have received fifteen OIL
twenty letters from prominent Re
publicans all over the State offering
support, aud at the proper time
shall make application for the Col
lectorship."
Do you know who will be the
other applicants?
II cannot speak by the card, but
have heard the names of Geo. W.
jolly, Capt. Ell Farley, I, j. Tinsle! )
and Geo. w. Long, Of Grayson county,
with several precincts 10 hear from
My opinion is that Geo. w. jolly will
prefer to be District Attorney at
Louisville, as the pay is larger and
no bond required and in the line of
his profession.
win you go to Washington to
press your claims?
81 shall, and will stay in the fight
till the end"
Major, II is an endorsement that
you mostly want, is is not?
"Thsts just it, exactly. But I do
not object to the $500 per annum.
No one will question Msj Crum-
baugh's eminent fitness for the posi-
ton, and his numerous friends, re-
CARELESS of party affiliations, all over
the District would be exceedingly
gratified to see him reinstated In his
old position which he excellently
filled for about two years. During
his incumbency he raised the office
in one months time from 4 fourth TO
q first-elass office. The many posi-
tions that Msj. Crumbaugh has held
whether under the Government, at
the will of his fellow citizens, or of
his own choosing, have always been
filled with the highest honor. Though
a native of Logan county, he has been
a resident of this city for about ten
years, and no man in our community
stands higher with our people than
he. lie has always been regarded
as one Of our most progressive men,
possessed Of uncommon executive
ability, gentlemanly and courteous in
his department, charitable and kind
hearted-in fact he is everything that
can be desired in a good citizen. lie
the First National Bank of
this city, which is now in flourish
ing condition, and has always been
with every enterprise de.
signed to advance and build up the
interests of the city which he has
made his home. Msj. CrumbAUgh
graduated at the United States Ma
val Academy at the head of the larg-
est class ever sent out from that in
served in the regular army
for three years as Adjutant of
the Second Infantry; has
held professorship, in several insu-
tons Of learning is man ola high
order of intelligence, and being now
only about 40 years of age has all the
ply steal and mental strength so much
needed in men who would fill such
position as he viii seek at the hands
of President Harrison. No other
man would fill the place be,ter-he
is honest faithful, upright, and polit-
cllly, staunch Republican. When
the loaves are handed round by Pres
ident Harrison, We hope one will be
pitched over this way, and Maj.
Crumbsugh may get it.
