THE DARK HORSE.
J. M. Alexander Looms Up fts n For
midable Post Office Candidate.
Up to the present date not a word
lias been said In the nubile prints
about J. M. Alexnnder In connection
Nvlth the postolllcc appointment noon
to be made J'or Cirhondalc He Is the
dark horse In the ruco nnd Is loomlnpr
up as one of the most formidable
candidates In the Held Several Influ
ential organizations have Interceded
In Mi behalf and he Is known to have
the support of several Individuals who
Btana very close to the powers that
be. Then he has u creditable war lec
ord a thing wotth considering aB was
shown when W, 1 Yarrlngton receiv
ed the plum.
There Is another fact Intejestlng to
mention In this connection, though It
will not be a determining and probably
not even an Influencing element In
the appointment and that Is that Pres
ident McKlnley and Mr. Alexander
are staunch members of tho Methodist
Episcopal church.
Fifteen years conscientious work on
the school board and the fathering of
Memorial park alone would faor Mr.
Alexander, If popular vote had any
thing to do with the matter.
The assurance that John H. Thomas
has not applied for the position and
the adding of "Monumental Joe's"
nnme to the list of aspli ants Messrs.
Evans, l.athrop nnd Davis all good
nnd true men; make this one of the
most Interesting postofnee fights In the
history of the city.
Postmaster Nealon's term expires on
the fourteenth of August.
GAVE SATISFACTION.
Councils' Action in Letting Contract
Generally Pleasing.
The Tribune representative in mak
ing Inquiries concerning the letting of
pavlne tontinct Saturday night to a
local bidder at a slightly higher figure
than that of the lowest Didder, learned
that the action Is generally satisfac
tory Blair ii Kennedy, tho successful
bidders, were lower on curbing ind re
setting curb but on paving their bid
was fourteen cents a squaic yard
higher. The dlfterence is u little that
there Is probably not a property own
er afferted who would not rather sen
the local men get the Job. They w ill
employ local labor and the expenditure
if the money hero will be a dlicct
benefit to the city.
The only bad feature ahout it Is thtj
discouraging effect It will have on out
side contractors when new work comes
up. Tne mny refuse to bid nnd place
the city in a position absolutely de
pendent upon the few men of Carbon
dale who undertake big Jobs.
