'A vote for Whiteley is a vote to susta.n

Mr. Bruce, a colored man, and a pres

Colquitt’s majority in the Second Dis

Wonder if Whitcly thinks he can climb
over that hill?
Thomas county has several colored
Democratic eluos. Well informed gentle
men predict that Whiteley will be badly

He who votes for Whiteley votes Radi

STRAW BIDS.
Postmaster-General Greswell was inves
tigated three times, twiceWhitewashed by
a Republican Congress and once exposed
by a Democratic House- The most fla
grant abuse ever fastened upon the Post
Office Department, that of “straw bids,’ 1
began under Greswell. A straw hid is a
bid so low that it can never be fulfilled,
which usually throws the contracts into
Ring hands at a higher rate or compels
“temparary services” at high pay. Where
the highest hid was $80,049, the straw hid
was in one case $000. Iu another case
the highest was $150,000, the lowest was
$75. This last Creswell threw out, and
yet accepted a straw bid of $4,200. Oife
firm of straw bidders, Barlow, Sanderson
& Co., paid between $10,000 and $50,000
to influence the investigation of the Re
publican House, paid one lawyer $25,000
for influence within liie Department, anti
gave large sums to the Second Assistant
Postmaster-Generals brother. This firm
obtained one contract which will serve as
a specimen. It was let to a straw bidder,
though there was ac honest bid of $00,000
a year. This bidder failed, and temporary
service was engaged at $700 a day.
Another straw bid, Another failujy;, and
temporary service again, this time at $420
a day. Finally, the contract was handed
over to Barlow & Co-, without advertis
ing and in violation of law, at $142,000.
