PopuIist state Committee.

Austin. Texas. February Gothic popu.
list State executive committee was In ses-
sion in this city last Thursday for the
purpose of sizing up the situation and
finding out where 1t Is at.
Brother Bradley, Harry Tracy and
George Glasscock ran the meeting. which.
1t is reported. came to the conclusion that
fusion is losing game. Much talk was
INDUCED in anent the beauties OF tho
middle OF the road and Bradley averred
that II the boys would keep out of the
gullies and hustle In earnest TOR two more
Years victory would roost on their stand :
ard In 1895, because the people are tired
of democratic ring rule He also laid
the flattering JUNCTION to his soul and tried
TO lay 1t to the souls Of tho others that
the democracy was faction torn and that
1t would so TO pieces at the next election
and that with good men ON deck the pop
ulist party could easily WIN out two years
hence So far as can be learned. however,
the boss plenarian kept silence with re-
gard to the negotiations which resulted in
the rep-pop alliance OF the last campaign
and 1t Is not In evidence that no furnished
his bretl0en with any OF the figures III
voived In the deal. Having talked and
deliberated to their hearts content. Mr..
Bradley and his colleagues Issued a self
congratulatory address, which was given
to the press yesterday, In which they give
notice of renewal OF populistic propa-
ganda, but make no promise OF purifica-
ton. from which 1t can be deducted that
the same old gang that specialized upon
cndeavor to maintain its hold upon the
reins OF that organization. That being the
case. little need be feared from that
quarter In the future.

GRANTS LATEST ASPIRATION.
He Wants to he Fourth Assistan
Postmaster General.

POssInurtrr tentrnI.
Dallas, Texas, February 20.-A few days
ago 1t was rumored about republican head
quarters at the Oriental that Dr. John
Grant was a candidate for fourth assistant
postmaster general.
1t is not known how much II any. sub
stance there was to the report, but If 1t Is
true that the Sherman statesman has aspi-
rations to become the bloody headsman of
the administration, the chances are that he
is doomed to premature disappointment,
| Tor 1t leaked out here today that reliable
information has been received to the effect
that Major Charles w. f. Dick of Ohio. the
well known lieutenant of National CHAIR
man Mark Hanna, has been rendered and
accepted the position of fourth assistant
postmaster general.
The Significance of this appointment, so
far as 1t affects Texas aspirants. lies In the
fact that Major Dick is an old personal
friend and neighbor of Mr.. Charles Hedges.
who, 1t will be remembered, accompanied
General Huston to Texas and took con-
spicuous part in the campaign as secretary
of the plenary committee and chairman OF
the literary and newspaper bureau.
IT is said that through Hedges Major
Dick and General Huston are very warm
friends and that the major was In close
correspondence with both Hedges and Hus-
ton during their entire campaign.
This latter statement seems probable, as
Major Dick was secretary OF the Chicago
end of the National headquarters, with
which Mr. Hedges was connected prior to
coming to Texas.
As fourth assistant postmaster general,
Major Dick will hold in his hands the polit
teal destinics of no less than 66.725 fourth
class postmasters. of whom 1855 are located
In Texas; therefore he becomes star OF the
first magnitude in the eyes OF the ten
thousand asprants In Texas who are hun
etrinr for the fourth class offices,
While Mr.. Hedges and Or Grant are not
enemies, II is only reasonable to presume
that Hedges sympathies are strongly with
General Huston and Chairman Green In the
bitter warfare said to be existing between
these distinguished gentlemen and the
Grayson county leader. All Of which argues
that Chairman Green is the man whose Sig
nature will go with the Ohio headsman
when he comes to fill the Texas vacancies
made with his AK.
