Chief Justice Lore recommends Caleb Churchman for the position of collector of the port at Wilmington, Delaware. Churchman served during the Civil War and his son, Clarke Churchman, was killed at El Caney during the Spanish-American War. The Churchman family have been strong supporters of the Republican Party and Churchman is well qualified for the position.
