Is Green DOWned?

It is a sad tale of woe to the Green
faction OF the repu oil ;an party in Tex
as that w. G. Slerret. the special cor
RESPONDENT of the Dallas News, Tells to
the people of Texas through the paper
be represents. The communication is
from Washington and is dated March
%. 1t is as follows;
''Mr. L, Fl, r. Green has folded his
political tent and moved. He did il
this evening. 1t was said yesterday
that he had closed his headquar ers,
discharged his private secretary and
was going home, but inquiry at the
hostelry at which he puts up disclCs d
the fact that his headquarters were still
opened and that he was still in town.
But today he shook the dust of the
Capital city from his feet and hied him
hence. He went to Chicago, where he
has some business, and from there h.
will 60 to his Texas home. He is not
sure that he will return, but expects to
do SO. 1t all depends GA the way mat
tiers shape themselves IN the future.
''As has been said in these dispat ches,
it would have been ridiculous 10 keep
up the headquai tiers as long as the al
ministratiOn had declared that it IN
tended to permit the democrats to bold
onto tt cir places till their terms of Of
fee had expired. AS these terms will
the term of tie present adm III a;iOn
1t can readily be seen how d fficulJ ald
how full-hauded d man would have to
be to maintain headquarters all that
time.
AT the same time that Green vacat-
ed his headquarters Grant moved into
more capa :iUuS and luxurious On-s.
When he came on here it was on the
eve of the inauguration and ne had d
hot ilr,n To ~. 1AI u
clio hes closet. Now h mas most ca
pa -ious apartment. He has settlt d
down IN i as If lie intended to rena II Il
considerable time, though The rraSpnS
why Green should have shut up his
office are the as rs why Grant will
have to close up his room before many
weeks.
1.-The situation IL far as he distribu
tiOn Of Offices in Texas is concerned is
as coufu, ed rs ever. | can invariab Y
get two totally different Storit at az V
time by talkir g to ian each of the
opposite factions Grant has the same
confidence IL at he has had all the Tune
He says he will not state ali that gives
him this confidence, because he do 5
not want to appear as a bOaster. He
prefers 10 boast IL ter he has put his
armor off rather than when he is put
ting his armor on. He has no more
.
that he will cootrol the patronage of
Texas under the present admins tration
than that he is living.
The Green fact on has complained
of him all along on the ground that he
is so uncomprOmising that he will not
even talk about getting together. The
story is told on him that one of the
Green crowd called on him and said
What is the reason we cannot get
together and harmonic our differ
ences?'
GLOW can it be done?'' asked Grant.
"By putting in our Endorsements,
yours and Green's rather together"
4 am willing to that" replied
Grant. He continued. Now, [ have
a man for the place you want and you
can just retire and MIR Green can in
dorse my man. That is a good way to
start
cit is unnecessary to state that the
olive branch bearer did not want to
harmonic on lines where he was to
lose the place he was after, and so it is
among them all. Harmony is sired
by everybody, it seems, but Grant, and
perhaps by him also, but it is based on
each having his own way.
