DUNN vs. THOMPSON.

Editor Sentinel: In circulating among the faithful of tJieg.o. p. in the north part of the county we find that the Hon. 8. P. Thompson is likely to have an oppoaent fer his senatorial seat in the person of Hon. I. D. Dunn. We do not know that Mr. Dunn has as yet declared himself a candP ate, but there is a sentiment, and a growing sentiment, too, strongly in favor of him. It is claimed, by his friends that though his official record in our slate legislature is not as brilliant as some others, yet it is a very honorable one; one that is more acceptable to the common people than Senator Thom neon’s. They claim that Thompson has no feeling, and but little interest in common with the laboring classes; that his course in the legislature, like his every life here at home was all for‘self. They say th t his position on the school book law, the election law, etc , show him to be the friend of wealth, the apologist of monopoly, and the enemy of the toiling masses. In representative Dunn they think they have a friend; one they can trust and easily elect. As for Democrats, one republic can is about as acceptable as another. We r are but little wh >ther it be Thompson or Dunn, for when it comes to a question of politics either will suit the purpos sos his party. As for the personal advantages and aspirations of the two men we would prefer to see Dunn win. A North-End Democrat.
