the answer invariably is that the tw c
elements must go together. But at no
time can they suggest way to do this
as long as Grant stands, out so i'm
placable. From the note written by
Herrick and Hanna it would look as if
the chance of either Clifford or Terrell
getting what they desire is very re-
mote. One thing is certain, that if
Grant has anything to say neither will
| secure any office. The indOr- enc is
of both were first-class and ordinarily
| it would have appeared as II they were
sure to win. But with Herrick and
Hanna against them and with Grant
bitterly SO it would look as if they
could not land unless APP ace is patched

Obrien Moore, special correspondent
of the ST Louis Republic at Washing

his paper as follows:
Ned Green's campaign for the
Offices ended tonight. His clerks and
stenographer, who have been looking
after the thousands of applications he
has received, We're disch arged, head

Since he came here TO get al of the
Texas jobs and some of those in Ar
kansas and Indian Terr,t tory he
has seen Mckinley but once: but he has
seen Hanna a number of times: in fact.
almost daily. HIS last call on that
august PEI sonage was this afternoon |
a. Hannas private office. The Ohio !
senator told Inn today precisely what
he has told him on all other occasions |
when the subject of Texas patronage |
came up. and that was that Mckinley |
and he (Hanna) would not distribute |
the patronage until the two Texas fac
tions had got together.
Now, it's this way" Green told the
Republic correspondent. Hanna

am willing to make terms with the
Dtter side, but they refuse to make

Both Of the above correspondents :

make a mistatement as it would be

hat Col. Campbell is at Washiugt IN is
mistake as Col. Campbell is in E
