FEDERAL CANDIDATES.
AIamedans Who Are Anxious to Draw
Salaries From the General Govern
meut-Numerous Candidates.

meut-Numerous Candidates.
ALAMEDA, CAL, April 2 - Besides
Judge Waymire, who is candidate for
very prominent position under the Nc
Kinley administration. there are several
Alamedans who fancy that they are fit TO
adorn Federal office with fat salary at
tached. The center Of interest is the post
mastership, and for that position there
are half dozen candidates. Included in
the number are E. A. Randlett,. I. w.
Leydecker, Stuart M. Taylor, Z. w. Berry
and Charles NJ. Culver, with DR.. Mclean IN
the background as very large and very
threateningdark horse. II has been thought
that Mr.. Randlett was the favorlte. but
since it became known that DR.. Mclean
had al eve on the office his chances are
not regarded as so good. A. b. Hunt,
Sam Frank, Franz Webb, L. A. Phillips,
w. Ii. Noy, George Lovegrove and Several
others have their eyes on various posi-
tions which will serve to tide over the
next four years, but the conservatives are
of the opinion that if Judge Waymire gets
an appointment that will be about the ex-
tent OF Alameda's share OF the patronage.
Tho Library Trustee Bill.
ALAMEDA, CAL, April 2.-The news
that Governor Budd had signed the
library trustee bill was received with
pleasure here by many and the opposite
feeling By others. The oriein of this bill
was the memorable library row Of two
years ago, when futile attempt was made
10 oust the librarian by force. The same
elements that were behind that movement
antagonized this bill, and as they were
quite influential it was for some time
problematical whe her the Governor would
sign the bill or not. Almost as much hard
work was done in trying TO induce him TO
sign it on the one hand and to pocket 1t
the rPOnIreI tn IL
through the Legislature. But the matter
is settled now, and the present manage
ment OF the library is correspondingly
happy.
Dairy Tests.
ALAMEDA, CAL, April 2-Veterinary
Carpenter mas made his monthly report
of the condition of the dairies which sup
ply this city with milk. and the statement
shows a most satisfactory condition Of
affairs. The tests made show that the
milk consumed here is equal TO the best
in the country, and this condition is
largely due 10 the publicity given to the
results of the tests.
The mllkmen are considerably dis
turbed over the rumor that a com bination
which is supplying San Francisco and
Oakland with milk at cents a quart is
about to extend its operation 10 this city.
DR.. Carpenter says they need not worry,
as no such combination can sell milk any
where near equal to that at present sup
piled.
