Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-H. Green
chairman of the state Republican COM
mittee of Texas, was in the city today
on his way to New York and had brief
conference with Chairman Babcock OF
the Republican congressional cam
paign committee. He told Mr.. Babcock
that Texas was excellent fighting
ground for the Republicans, and eX-
pressed his own determination to press
thee ontest to the end with the hope OF
winning. He says that a fusion with
the Populists and gold Democrats had
been practically accomplished and
states that in portions of thes tate, the
Populists are talking of ticket COM
posed of Mckinley and Watson electors
Mr.. Green says that a canvass of the
state has just been completed which
shows that the Populists outnumber the
silver Democrats. Mr.. Green thinks it
possible to win at least five congressman
from the Democrats in the state.
Vice-Chairman Stevens of the silver
party, who has just returned from Col
orado, takes exception to the claims of
Congressman Apsley, in regard to the
election prospects in the west. Mr..
Stevens says that all thes tates west of
the Missouri river are sure for Bryan,
and that Colorado. which Mr.. Apsley
regards as somewhat doubtful, will give
the Democratic candidate 100000 ma
jority.
Mr.. Stevens also regards the south as
solid against Mckinley and is of the
opinion that Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Ohio, Minnesota and Iowa are fighting
grounds for the remainder of the cam
paign. For this reason Mr.. Stevens ex-
poets to spend most of his time between
now and election day in Chicago.
