Postmaster w. 5. Lintoi. OF Saginaw, is
receiving tho congratulations Of friends not
only ia Saginaw and throughout the entire
eighth distr!c', which he formerly repre-
sented in congress. but from the rest of the
state a. well. The occasion is the at
nouncement just given out by Congressman
FOrdney that the latter hsd selected him TO
be his own successor as postmaster ct the
,ginaw Office. Mr.. Linton has made a
good Off cla'. and, affable and thoughtful OF
the interests Of his patrons and the advance
ment of the service as he Is, he has also
most naturally been very popular official.
The choice was announced early, efftctually
sllercing any attempt on the part of would
be successors OF Nc. Linton, If there had
been any, to stir up any dissatisfaction, but
the announcement was not too early to suit
the mass of the patrons of the Saginaw
Office who are decidedly pleased that Mr..
Linton is to be retained for another term.
The Saginaw CourieI-Herald says:
''There Is coed deal of talk Just now that
Mr.. Justus s. Stearns will be candidate
for governor this year. Most, If not all, of
this talk is undoubtedly unauthoriz I'd by
Mr.. S.earns. He has passed his word to a
great number of prominent men in the
state that he would not be candidate, and
Mr.. Stearns' word is generally taken as be-
ing good. His horror is further involved
than this. In soliciting the appointment
of a certain man at the hands of Governor
Bliss, who was afterwards appointed, Mr..
Stearns oeered to give bonds that he would
not be a candidate. This, however, was
not necessarily made the consideration of
the appointment. Mr.. Stearns was told
that bond was not wanted; that his word
was good enough, and that while he might
break bond, nobody would suspect him of
breaking his word Mr.. Stearns has not
broken his word yet, and despite the
hypnotic atmosphere that surrounds him,
he will probably not do sc."
