GREEN IS AFTER GRANT.
Wants Him Beheaded as Member of
National Committee.
HIS PLAN IS NOT YET DEVELOPED.
Are Talking of the Split
Now.

Dallas, Texas, October 13.-Things are
yesterday. Many of the belligerent re-
publcans have left town and those who
are here have become calm. DR.. Grant and
his Sherman contingent departed for home
this morning. Both sides have been con-
tent today to talk of yesterdays work.
THE split" divides honors with Yellow
Jack as a conversational topic. The only
new thing on foot Is move among the
Green forces to have Grant fired from
the National committee. Steps in this di-
rection have already been taken and will
be pushed as fast as evidence to be used
against the Sherman man can be collected.
Webster Wilson of Galveston, member of
the Green committee, touches the subject
In the following statement made to The
Post correspondent: THE situation has
assumed little more Importance than the
ordinary by DR.. John Grant permitting
them to elect him chairman of their bogus
organization. AVID this is made so because
he is the National committeeman repre-
senting our republican organization on the
world of me see how he can consistently
represent us when he is now at the head
Of this rebelllous crowd He can not In
justice to himself and the regular execu-
tive committee with Hon. e. II. r. Green
as The undisputed chairman, nominated by
DR., Grant himself and elected by the
unanimous vote OF the Fort Worth con-
Fentiol, continue TO represent us. He is
not In touch and sympathy with our or
ganizaticn and by his own act places HIM
self In tie most inconsistent and deplor-
able position, where he certainly will have
TO eventually eat grass because OF one
or the ether"
Just how Green will attempt 10 fire Grant
ras not been determined. 1t Is expected
that he Will call his committee together
soon. or course this will bring another
light from Grant. Green men assert with
snow OF pride that Mark Hama would like
to see Grants head chopped.

HOUSTON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER "a
THE WAR is ON.

Tho pi1etlng of the republican State
was ono OF those stormy gatherings which
ind disqualification In the old story OF
1.-TWO hungry dogs fighting for bone
A clash OF some kind was looked for
but nobody expected there would be such
hgurative hair pulling as that which
signalired the gathering.
From beginning to end It was literal
repetition OF the little episode related
about the Kilkenny CATS with Mcssrs
Green and Grant playing star parts III the
suicidal combat The rival gladiators had
their respective factions on hand to Whom
up tho fun, and the dispensing Of the Fed
eral patronage Of Texas was to be the re-
ward of the man who came out on, top.
With such prize at stake IL IL needless
to say the fight waxed warm, and when
the smoke OF battle finally cleared away
tho republican party OF the Lone Star
State was found TO be one OF the worst
split organizations in politics. Tho Green
element tried to carry everything It's own

another hall, censured and deposed Green
as State chairman. elected Grant in his
stead. and declared themselves "the re-
publican State executive committee of
Texas." There are two heads now to the
divided and disrupted party, and, as ench
claims to be the rightful leader. nobody
outside their immediate partsans knows
who to follow. AT any rate. the war Ia on.
and 1t Will be many mrons ere that broth
erly harmony so essential to success can
be restored.
Meanwhile, 1t Is very doubtful whether
President Mckinley will recognize either
side In the bcstowal Of the offices. and.
- this was the prize for which each side
fought, tho result will be as dull thud
70 the pho hunters. Messrs. Green and
Grant have each done much to strengthen
tho republican organization In Texas. hut
10 tho political imbroglio In which they
were the central figures on Tuesday they
spoiled 1t all.

Groveton Wants a Road.

Groveton Herald.
1t is stated that General Manager Van
Week, with Superintendent DeYonng, were
at Sabine Pass recently. inspecting the
wharf facilities at that place, and the I'M
preston is that the Southern Pacific COM
pany will send cotton out that way. Now
that deep water at Sabine Pass Is an as
sured fact, would 1t not ne the part of
wisdom for some enterprising company to
cast an eye in this direction and build a
road from Sabine Pass to Grovcton and
then on to Dallas? If such Il road was
built 1t would pass through come of the
best agricultural sections In the State, to
say nothing Of the fine pine forests that

and at all times as may be desired Take

Will then see that the distance, on an
air line, from Dallas to Sabine Pass Is
forty miles shorter than It is from the
former place to Galveston. We would like
to have an expression on this matter from
our Dallas and Beaumon. contemporaries.
