The Republican Will Stay

New York, 1895

It is announced that President Cleveland has decided not to appoint a successor to Postmaster Kirkpatrick, of Patchogue, the Republican incumbent whose term expired last February. There are three Democratic aspirants for the position. They are C. E. Rose, who preceded the present postmaster; F. W. Miller and W. B. Eaton. Rose has the indorsement of the County Committee.


Decoration Day Parade

The Decoration day parade of the south side firemen has been practically arranged and there is every reason to expect a big turnout of firemen at Rockville Centre to join with the veterans and the schools in doing honor to the departed defenders of the union.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, May 24, 1895, p. 1.
