The ROW I'm Republlcan RANKS.

The account published in yesterday morn
ing's HERALD Of the secret meeting held in
this city Wednesday by number of the
leading Republicans of North Texas, in
conjunction with sprinkle of Independents,
fell like bOmb-shell in the midst of the
clan, and created considerable excitement.
In that connection it was mentioned that
the Republicans here were divided among
themselves, and that an effort was being
made by some of the dissatisfied parties to
Gust Postmaster Wmssen and U. S. Mar
shall Norton for the purpose of supply
ing berths for Col: John Stone, of
the firm of Stone & Heating, and Red.
Williams and Jesse Grant. The reporter
was misinformed, and erred in stating that
the latter had gone to Washington City,
The purposes of the local parties having
been exploded, they came to the conclusion
that they had no time to while away, and
before noon yesterday one dozen petitions
addressed to President Arthur were being
vigorously circulated in the interest of Col.
Stone, asking that lie be given the position
of postmaster of Dallas. This created quite
tlutter, especially among the Republicans,
and in the afternoon two petitions asking
that Mayor Whissen, the present incum.
bent. be retained, were carried around
which were signed by large number OF
Democrats, Greenbackers and Republicans,
among whom were bankers, and the princi-
pal merchants of the city. The petitions
circulated in behalfof Colonel Stone was
not signed to any great extent by the bu-
siness men who are tired of the cut-throat
business going on between the Norton
and Davis wings of the party. This was the
expression especially of many Democrats
who are tired Of the eternal chickering's OF
those Republicans, whom they say are sim
ply trying TO root each other out of position.
The petitions of the two parties were mailed
last evening for Washington City. There
is good deal Of feeling in the matter on
both sides. 1t is rumored that petition
asking that United States Marshal Nor
ton be removed, has been sent to
Washington City, These are the facts
as CLEANED by HERALD reporter, The Re.
publcans are so mysterious in their move
ments that they are harder to solve than
the fifteen ball puzzle game.

1t cannot be denied that the past week
has been one OF great dullness and depres-
sion in most every department oftrade. A
plain, honest confession is good for the
soul, and in common with our competitors
we acknowledge the fact. But we must
make room, we must reduce our immense
stock no matter what the sacrifice. To old
and young, rich and poor, Men, youths
and boys we make this plain proposition,
we will positively commence on the I'D OF
December to close out our stock of about
five hundred overcoats at cost, and we will
sell our entire stock of gents youths and
boys suits from to-day until January lst,
1852, at 10 per cent. lower than our marked
prices. AS we make il rule to advertise

pie will take advantage Of our liacral offer
