GRAND VOTE SWAPPING IS PROPOSED

Il to he Tried Again.

Fort Worth, Texas, October 23.-The
democrats Of this congressional district are
certainly losing little sleep over the results
OF the coming election. There is hardly a
possibility that any other man besides the
Hon. s. w. T. Lanham viii represent this
district In the halls OF congress. but II
would be wise that democrats be on the
alert.
There Is a scheme brewing which, II
successful, win greatly change the present
situation, politically, and may crowd Mr..
Lanham very close, If he is successful In
succeeding himself.
he plan anticipated, as The Post corre-
spondent lelrns It, is to pull down Mr..
S1ands, tho populsL nominee of Erath
county for congress, turn all populst votes
In the district to Mr. Springer, and In re-
tuin for this acton on the part of the pors
the republicans are to cast their ballots for
Barnett Gibbs for governor. The republic
cans are TO also vote for the various county
populist tickets in the district. IL this
"collusion' becomes operative--and The
Post correspondent understands that It Is
almost certain to be the case--there is
hardly a doubt but that 1T may defeat Mr..

AS TO Wan INVESTIGATIONS.

The fear Is entertained. as reported from
Washington in Sundays Post, that fun,
free and fenrless Investigation OF the con-
duct of the war by congress may be
blocked" By those little wheels within
wheels" known generally as shrewd but
dishonest politics.
No well-informcd man now looks for a
searching investigation or full and fair
report from Mr.. McSlnley's "commission.
The men are not being examined who could
substantiate tho charges OF costly and
heartless inconpetcncy In army manage
ment. and the WITNESSES who have gone
before the commission have smoothed over
the rough points as best they could aud
retired without ever being subjected TO a
rigid examination.
The congress Is tho proper body to prose-
cute an Investigation. The congressional
committee could be armed with the au-
tbority TO administer oabhs and send for
persons and papers and could arrive at
the truth OF the stories that have placed
tlse army management in such an uncnvi-
able, such disgNceful light.
But have the politicians at the head of
the war department, with the president to
help, played their parts and distributed
their favora 30 shrewJiy as to prevent
vigorous or honest action by congress?
