Mr.. Laban Quillin, of Berlin. made
special trip to Baltimore ON Tuesday
to take part in the celebration OF the
recent Republican victory given by
the Columbian Club OF that city. The
leading Republicans OF the counties,
who played important parts in the
recent fight between the rival financial
theories, were AT the celebration and
Laban was invited to represent this
end Of the county All of the local
gold celebrities were at the ratification
and iolliiication and Laban was strictly
in the push. Ii is understood that he
was congratulated heartily by some of
the leaders Oh account OF the reduced
Democratic majority given in Worces-
ter county this year, particularly in
the East and West Berlin districts.
1t may safely be assumed that Laban
did not neglect to put in some good
licks on the subject OF the postmaster
ship at Berlin, which is already begin
ming TO worry some OF the local poIiii
clans greatly, although il is considera
bly, more than yeas before the term
expires. As Congressman make post
masters, and rs Laban was one of the
original Barber men in Worcester, il
is probable that he will have considera-
BILE to say about the man who will
lick stamps tor us tor four years.
There is much rivalry in Berlin as to
who will name the next postmaster
and it is probable that Laban turned
few cocks OF hay while the sun shone,
Tuesday night.
Miss Ada Bell left Tuesday morn
ing for New York and Philadelphia to
replenish her stock of millinery goods.
