MANY CANDIDATES

FOR POSTMASTER HERE

Hungry Democrats Will Get to Pie Counter and Many Will be Applicants.

With a complete change of administration at Washington, a clean sweep is expected as a matter of course, to be made in all federal offices. Candidates for postmasters are thicker than bees on a summer's day, and the new president will find his hands full, and undoubtedly his office full of office seekers when he takes his seat on the 5th of March.

Democrats are casting longing eyes on the postoffice at Stanford, which Postmaster Florence has held down so well for the past 16 years. A great many are said to be prospective applicants and Congressman Harvey Helm, who will have the major portion of appointment of the patronage in the Eighth district, is going to have his hands full. Among those being "prominently mentioned" for the postmastership in Stanford, Lancaster and Danville, are:

Stanford—Judge James P. Bailey, W. A. Carson, George P. Bright, Miss Mary Bruce, John W. Rout and others.

Lancaster—J. R. Mount, M. D., Hughes and others.

Danville—H. H. Roberts, H. C. Bright and others.

The Louisville Herald gives as prospective aspirants for the position of Collector of Internal Revenue at Danville these: Col. R. G. Evans, Judge C. R. McDowell, Logan Wood, John Nichols, all of Danville, T. B. Robinson, of Lancaster, and Shelton M. Saufley of Stanford.
