The nomination of Richard Z. Bouldin
to be postmaster at Bel Air, Hartford
county, Md. h as proved unsatisfactory to
a section of the Republican party in that
town, and they are making very emphatic
protests against the Presidents action. Ex-
Collector of Customs E. Ii. Webster, S. A.
Williams, n n. Mock and Richard Dallam
were at the Postoffice Department and had
a long talk with Acting Postm aster.Gen
eral Whitfield They told him they had
been under the impression the appointment
would not be decided upon until after the
first of January and had neglected to pre-
sent the claims of their candidate, ex-Post-
master John 7. Spicer, as strongly as they
would had they known the nomination was
to be m AIDE so soon. They represented that
Mr.. Spicer was really the choice of the Re-
publicans of Bel Air, and that Mr.. BouI-
din's strongest Endorsements came from
people who live in other places and do not
get their mail through the Bel Air office.
On the strength of these representations
Colonel Whitfield assured Mr.. Webster and
his companions that the confirmation of
Mr., Bouldin would be delayed until time
had been given for review of the whole
case. The term of the present postm aster
will expire January 6, and the department
is anxious to have his successor confirmed
before that date, and it will be necessary
for both sides to present their cases as
promptly as possible.
