IS fact that after the election Glen
went east and held long conference
with the president, to the exclusion of
sugar Trust Searles, and other dignitar-
les; that he has wonderful corporation
pun, and all that; but then adviceS here
are as stated in The Herald a few DAYS
ago, to the effect that no one will secure
the appointment unless he has the en-
dorsement of ex-senator Brown, and that
1t is believed. Miller cannot get. 1t has
been stated here on the best authority
that Brown has received "a hunch'' to
the effect that the president has a per
sonal friend in the person of citizen of
this state. whose name has not been
mentioned in connection with the place
at all, and he will be the man.

Thompson called at this office last
evening TO say that The Herald is wrong
when 1t says he is going to Idaho Falls
as consul thompson is the man who
looks like Arthur Brown and who
achieved fame and distinction during the
last campaign by running a headquarters
for laboring men on State street, where
posters announcing that it was better for
the mills to open than the minis were
strictly in evidence. He came here
armed with an appointment as deputy
revenue collector at Nogalles, Ariz.. which
he received yesterday. and states that
he doesn't know whether he viii accept
Il or not: but he has ii just the same.
Thompson is to be congratulated. He has
distanced all the balance and is in line
less.
When Mercur postofflce was made a
presidential Office Hughes was appointed
postmaster by Cleveland, and at once as
sumed the duties of the place. His name
was sent to the senate for confirmation,
but for some reason was lost in the shuf-
fie. He was never confirmed ana the
faithful in that camp where gold Is
washed out of rock with chemicals are
working and hustling to get him removed
and someone appointed TO fill the place.
although no one knows yet who the man
will be. There are several looking Tor II,
but none, or at least few, are qualned,
on account of the manner in shlch they
voted. A. NJ Spooner is mentioned. but
then he has extensive mining interests
there and would not bother with It,
Busenbark of the East Golden Gate mas
better place in the east and carter OF
the same NINE when not here, Is away
off on the coast, running a bank, ana
cannot take it. Goddard, formerly OF the
Mercur Miner. might be induced to let
90 a few speculations to do something
with the office, but he doesn't stand as
well with the party as he might
In the meantime, Hughes is all ready 10
turn over the place TO his successor JUST
as soon as the change is announced itere
is a chance for Mckinley to break the ice
and do something for Utah.
Tn to date. Charlie Meighan has a
clean race for the mailbag keys at Og-
den and will undoubtedly be appointed.
