We learn that Mr. Burke, mail agent
on the branch from Portsmouth to Ham
den, is getting uneasy for fear he will be
superseded and turned out. We are not
personally acquainted with Mr.. Burke.
but we have a very large amount OF busi-
ness through the mails on this route, es-
pecially since we have been doing 30
large q business in cards. The business
transacted by the agent is certainly done
safely and carefully. Neither letters
nor packages have been lost or delayed
through the carelessness Of Mr.. Burke.

As to the complexion of the convention
made up Of the delegates given above
upon the vote for the City Sergeantcy, ii
Is generally conceded that the contest for
the nomination has been narrowed down
to Mcssrs. Mat. Altmeyer, Porter Smith
and PhilO Kimberly, although Mai
James Sweeney is still sanguine
Of success. The friends OF the first
three are equally hopeful and con.
lident OF victory. 1t is argued, how.
ever, that Mr.. Altmyer will poll his full
strength on the first ballot, when il he
does not secure the nomination it will lie
between Smith and Kimberly, with the
chances in favor OF the former. These
calculations, by tho way, are based upon
the understanding that the vote for
Mayor in 1915 will he adopted as the
basis oil representation in the convention.
This vote We give below:
