NAME REMINGTON POSTMASTER

Dennis O'Reilly, Machine Candidate, Recommended by Peterson. Washington dispatches in Monday’s Indianapolis Star stated that Congressman Peterson had recommended Dennis O’Reilly for postmaster at Remington, Jasper county, ! to succeed W. E. Peck, whose term expired Sunday. Mr. O’Reilly was' known as the machine candidate for, the place, his chief opponents being C. W. Harner, one of the old wheel horses of democracy at Remington, and J. R. McCollough, the latter a 1 former editor of the Remington : Press. He is one of the precinct com- j mitteemen of Carpenter tp., and was 1 stamped with the “Boss” Murphy brand of approval, it is reported,' some two years ago. Mr. O’Reilly, while of Irish des-' cent, is not a Catholic, as some might infer, by the name. He was formerly a member of that church but has not been now for several years.' Rensselaer and Remington are the only presidential postofflces in Jasper county, and “Boss” Murphy will have no more plums of this kind to distribute here. | No recommendation has as yet been made for postmaster at Good-' land, the commission of the present postmaster having expired also Feb-' ruary 15.
