A LETTER FROM DIR. JOHN GRANT.
Says the Tories Are to lie Reyyarde
Wherever 1t Is Possible
TO DO SO.
ETTER FROM DIR. JOHN GRANT.

! Beaumont. Texas, September "a gem
tleman from a North Texas city of con-
siderable population was in Beaumont this
week and divulged to The Post cores
pondent information that will bring hap
pness to those demo-pubs and middle OF
, the road pops, who worked so Industrious
| ly to advance the interests of Mark Hanna
| In the election last year. This gentle
man says that previous to his departure for
southwest Texas he was afforded an on
portunl.y to read a confidential letter that
was addressed to the recently appointed
postmaster OF his city. The letter was
| signed by DR.. John Grant, member of the
republican National executive committee
and chief pie carver for Texas The gem
tleman could not recall the letter verbatim.
but In the epistle DR.. Grant took occasion
TO impress upon the party addressed that
the department at Washington was crowd
Ing him Grant for names OF political
patriots whom 1t was desired should be
placed In charge OF the numerous fourth
class postoftces In Texas. The doctor
says he Will have to depend on the post
masters already appointed for recommend
ations OF suitable material for the small
offices, and then adds: You will under
stand that 1t is the purpose Of the party
to NIL the various postoffices with good
republicans. but middle of-the- road popu-
lists and gold bug democrats will not be
Objectionable. as it is from the ranks OF
these factions that the republican party
hopes to gather strength in Texas. II
Is the policy to permit fourth class post
masters to serve oun their terms, the ex-
ception being where a postoffice is oc
cupled by free silver democrat. Such
instances should be Immediately reported
and the political offender will be removed
forthwith. In making recommendations
always give preference to old soliers."
1t must not be understood that the above
quotation embodies the exact language
used by DR.. Grant, but The Post cores
pondents informant says it conveys the
now popular gentleman's meaning exactly
AS similar letter has doubtless been
addressed to postmasters In all the prin-
o'pai offices now filled by good" repubu-
cans the information given VIII have n
tendency to revive the spirits of the pops
ana demo-pubs, who are fearful lest they
be entirely overlooked.

Galveston, Texas, September 10.-Tw
floating elevators will be built here h

be used in conjunction with their lam
elevator. ]. G.. Stuart Of the elcysr
building firm of Stuart & Co. Of st. Iotk
has been figuring on the work for sun,
time. A day or two ago he received L
telegram from the Orthweins to select IN
two admirably suited for the purpose
This afternoon he left for st. Lous b
draw the plans for the elevators and Il i
thought the contract can be let for thn
in about ten days and both Of them a.
pleted inside of two months.
Each of the elevators will have N y
proximate capacity Of 10000 bushels. I'M
will be useful in saving a great deal y
time to ships which take on partial ~
goes of grain. ".
In New Orleans elevators of this TT
are used with much success. as they ri
in many Of the Eastern ports.
The building of these two elevator NJ
the Orthwens is significant at this tina
Traffic Manager Miller OF the Katy ~
only recently announced that the arra1gNH
ments at Galveston are not satisfactory
to his road and that the Katy Is nd.
in the market for grain for Galveston
The fact that the Orthweins are to iuveRl
money in improvements to their elevator
plant suggests the further fact that thsJ
have had an understanding wthe the Kay
people and that arrangements have btei
made which will prove satisfactory to thr
company. This latest change In the sltus'
ton is taken as confirmatory of the stuT
that the Orthweins are absorbing the con-
planned Of trackage charge and possibly
making other concessions to placate ~
satisfied rail lines.
