Fuller uvr‘l’il probably-Lake. general attaine- n. The present postmaster is Julius Deming. a Democrat. whose term ex~ pired in August. Just now. he is a hold-over. pending the-appointment of his successor. > After the election of President hic- Kinley. and as soon. the question of the, appointment of Mr. Deming's suc- cessor presented itself. Beth Pratt. for- merly postmaster under a Republican administration. and prominent among Republican leaders of the town, came forward as a candidate. His candida- cy. however. caused a tempest. which gathered volume steadily; until the situation resolved itself into a llerce light. . Pratt was opposed on almost every ground conceivable and the com teat grew so hosted that two other candidates entered the ilsld in the per- sons of w. H. Wessels and Rudolph Carl. p . Congressman Hill was placed in an embarrassing position. and finding himself unable to adjust the dilioul— ties by ordinary means. decided to practically withdraw and allow the Republicans to settle the question themselves. He was. no doubt. strong- ly influenced toward this policy by the avalanche of protests which were hurled toward him and to the post- once department at Washington against the appointment of Pratt. As soon as it was evident that Pratt was in the ileld as a candidate. twenty—live oi the leading ladies of Litehiield for- warded a protest. Another protest bearing the names of four of hitch- ileld’s elel'g’ymen was added to the first. These. were followed by a pro- test nignsd by President Dwight. of Yale university. who soiourns in thch~ ileldpduring the summer. and last of all. a proton. signed by .l. Deming Per- kins. a presidential elector. rounded out a lam. list of individual protests which poured in upon the congressman and the1 authorities at Washington. At length. as stated above. Iv. Hill was compelled to withdraw. Just before leaving for a European trip. the congressman, by letter. instructed the Republican town committee to call a caucus of Republicans and to let the Republican voters of thchIeld decide by ballot their choice for postmaster. The caucm was duly held and at its close it was discovered. to the amuse- ment of Pratt's opponents. that Seth Pratt had carried the caucus. His enemies immediately cried “fraud" and did not hesitate to claim that the cau- cus had been packed. The light be? came more bitter than ever. Those who voted at the caucus were can- vassed. and with the almost paradoxi- cal result that they repudiated the action of their own oaueits. in other words. a clear maJority of the voters who in caucus had named 89th Pratt. signed a protest against the caucus. 'l‘llls protest was attested by the reels. trar of voters and sent on. Pratt took refuge behind the claim that the cou- grtlsman’s instructions had been car- ried out. and he «used to be forward- ed a certificate signed by the caucus moderator to the eilsct that the caucus was “straight." ‘ The congressman returned from Europe to ilnd the situation worse than ever. lie had dacuments purporting to prove that Pratt had been named by a straight mucus and he had doc. untontnry evidence containing a pro- test against the caucus. signed by the very voters who made up the cannon and endorsed Pratt. Hr. Hill again entered the coolest. came to Litehdsld and looked the situation ever. For about a month since then the matter has been in abeyance. until now. when the announcement of the eeagresr man‘s endorsement of Mr. Puller. indi~ dates that he has reached the conclu- sion that the only way out of the mud- die was in the naming of a dark horse. ’ A curious teature of the affair is that the thing has been so long delayed. that at hitchileld negotiations have been in progress for another caucus. at which all voters. Without retuonce to party. shall be allowed to vote.

Following the reading of the letters. i'oionel Higgins said that there had been subscriptions already amounting to 81.500. The collectors had hardly got into the audience with the blanka, when Colo- nel Higgins announced that Elizabeth Livingston had given 81.000. There were cheers. Two men. who requested that their names he ltept a secret. subscribed 85.000 each. "Roswell P. Flower. late governor of the state. loans new." shouted Colonel Kiggiml amid wild applause. John E. Mllhuiland was then announced as a benefactor in the sum of ".000. Mrs. Booth Tucker made a short ad- dress after the collection had been taken. She spoke of the slum corps of nurses. The meeting closed with store- nplicnn views or the various places con- trolled by the army. The commander's land colonisation scheme was received with hater“! by the audience. He declared that the benefits of the plan were manifold and that the main questions put to hint by doubters were as to whether the people Would go, whether they Would Work and whether the coltmies could be made a sucrose. Commander Booth Tucker took up each of these propositions nep- nrately. lie asserted that it was out true that agriculture was in a bad way and said that when men not the proper amount or energy into the pursuit it always was a Itltrrm.
