STATE CHAIRMAN GREEN.
Says Dillon VIII be Appointed C0llec-
tor of This Port Soon.

The Paris, Texas, correspondent of

| man Green on his return from Washing
ton Sunday and writes up the interview
as follOws:
"How is politics? Well, 1 have
heard great deal of it lately. In
Washington just now everything is
politics. The national capital is not
going begging for political applicants.
They. are there by the score. and, of
course, every aspirant thinks he should
be- appointed. 1 have concluded on
one thing since my experience in poll
t1cal affairs, and that is that it is better
to stay away from Washington. Now
that congress has adjourned appoint
ments in Texas will come thick and
fast. Mr.. Dillon will undoubtedly be
appointed to the Ell Paso collectorsbip
and George L. Siebrecht of La Grange
will receive the United States mar
shalship for the western district of
Texas with headquarters at San An
tonic. Both of these parties have re-
ceived my Endorsement along with that
of Congressman Hawley. These sp-
pointments will be made in q few days.
DIR. John Grant will be appointed Unit
ed States marshal for the eastern dis
trict of Texas with headquarters at
Paris during the next few days.
How about the Hunt appointment?
Well, it was no surprise to me. 1t was
this way: l indorsed w. S Marshall
of Fort Worth at the beginning for the
place. l thought that he was a suitable
man for the position and I did what
could for him. MIR. Marshall informed
me after he was in the race for a while
that he desired to withdraw in favor of
Mr.. Hunt, and 1 informed him that
that was perfectly satisfactory to me,
and his papers show that he withdrew
in Col. Hunts favor. bad no objection
whatever to Mr.. Hunt, but didn't
care to indorse Mr.. Neice of Mexia, SO
did not consider that we were defeated

this morning preparing the prelimina--

President Ratchford denies saying
that the railroad brotherhood will be

him. So far the fear of general order
to tie up the coal roads is au obscure
danger. All the delegates seem to re-
