GRAMS EXPLANATION.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, July 31.-The
following self-explanatory egram was
received here tonight:
WASHINGTON July 81, 1890.
Editor Express:
So many inquiries reach me about my
recent misunderstanding with Mr..
O'Bren Moore, Washington correspon-
dent of the St. Louis Republic, that de-
sire to state through the Express that L
had an interview with him entirely sat
isfactory to me, caused by certain publ
cations unjustlY rejecting on my
self sent by him. No weapons
were used or displayed by either
party. He did not invite me outside the
capitol to fight, or for any other pur pose.
The stories about my brandishing a pistol |
in the press gallery and hunting him
after he had gone to New York, are |
purely imaginary and sensational. Mr.. |
Moore did not say he had treated me as he |
had treated other congressman. The in
terview only lasted few minutes, and |
was witnessed by but one person, Pen
nington of Brownsville, and attracted no |
attention. [Signed.l
w. H. GRAIN.
