There is considerable speculation among the democrats of the town as to who will succeed Henry l.. Porter as postmaster in the Berlin office at he next July. Mr. Porter has held the position since 1888, with the ex- oeption of the four years, 1892 to 1896, in President Grover C1evelands S second administration. Always 8 strong republican, his party re- warded him with the postmastership, . when it was in power
 Postmaster Porter was first ap- pointed by President Harrison in 1888 Snd was succeeded by A. B. Goodrich during the four years noted. When Mckinley was president, MT. Porter returned to the position and has held 1t ever since. His term expires in July and it is practically certain he will be retired. A. B. Goodrich, who < has filled the postmaster's shoes be- fore, IS again a candidate. The de- cision of the democratic town com mittee may affect the choice of Presi- dent Wilson and it is runored there are several of the party followers Eeeking the place.
 There will be meeting of the democratic town committee the latter part of next week and it is thought Fhe subject will come up for discus sion at that time At present, it 4seems as if Mir. Goodrich has the in side track and will secure the back ing of that body.
