George 4. Pease has two years yet u
serve according TO his appointment. OF
course, United States Commissioners
James A. Merrill was appointed under
Republican rule.
While nomlnally these two men may
hold office until the expiration Of their
terms, there have been cases in recent
years where n new party IN control
found way TO remove Office holders in
order 10 find positions for their constitu'
ents. On the other hand some federal
officers have remained in their positions
in Vermont for many months in recent
years after new political party had
taken up the reins of government.
The position OF clerk of the United
States court is filled by appointment OF
the judge of the district court OF Yer
mont, who has life tenure. Therefore.
Il. s. Plat of this city is not affected
by the election. Frank II. Chapman as
chief office deputy, is under civil service
rule and may continue TO hold office but
the other deputies will probably be re.
moved. The assistant postmaster, post
office clerks and mail carriers are also
under civil service rule.
The names mentioned already for
postmaster are p. NJ. Meldon, Thomas
