In addition to these offices, there
are various subordinate positions not
absolutely controlled by the Civil
Service, which will be at the disposal
of the party in power. Tie last
Cong2ess took from partisan control
1850 postoffices of the fourth class
which had heretofore been most i'm
portant part of the Republican party
machinery. But there still rema ms
enough to make the spells Of the VIC
tory equal almost to quarter OF a
,lliun dollars.
The Bigger Plums.
In point Of number and emoluments
The Presidential postOffices are the
most important. There are 115 OF
these, and whenever a fourth class
office receipts reach $1,000, It is
advanced to the Presidential class.
The total salaries of these offices in
Arkansas amount 10 $1S6,700. The
most desirable CT these offices is
that at Little Rock, which pays
SO ZOO, having been advanced to that
figure from $4,000, which it paid
Colonel James Mitchell, the last
Democratic postmaster. U. S. Brat
ton now holds the office and his
term will expire in March, 1914.
There vii be number of applicants
for tae place. those already mention
ed being Rees P. Horrocks, clerk OF
the School Board, and w. E. Floyd.
Secretary of the Railroad Commits
sion.
Next comes the Land Office APP
DO n,ments. which are worth $4,000
year. There are three offices, at
Little Rock, Harrison and Camden,
with a register and receiver at each,
at $4,000 each per annum. These
post ons are the most uncertain OF
all, because as the rapidly diminish
ing public domain requires, the Of
fives VII be abandoned In recent
years offices at Dardanelle. Bates
vile, Helena. and elsewhere have
been consolidated with that at Little
Rock, and it is believed to be but
question of a few years when all
the federal land office bus ness OF
| the state will be sent to Little Rock.
The u. S.. Marshalships !, in the
East srns and Western Districts are
also desirable, that N the Western
District being worth $4,000, and in
the Eastern District $4,000. j. F.
