PROSPECTS FOR PIE.

cial. 1.-The republican bosses OF the Green
persuasion in this part Of tie State are
anything but satisfied with their rrcspac's
for receiving recognition at McK'uley'i
hands when he gets ready to distribute
what Federal patronage Texas IS entitled
to. Judge Makemson Of Georgetown. who
was in the city last sunday. gave 1t out
during the progress u n quiet meeting be
had with Owen Ford Of San Marcos aud
''Big" Thad Bell. Jake IIornbcrgcr and
Billy Brush Of this city. that he bad the
tip straight from Washing On that unItss
I'VE" get together sitn Grant. the presi-
dent is gcing to igno,e all parties to the
factional disturbance az present pss,eii;ng
taken no stock In tie rows wnich have
been the order In republican ranks brre
for year or more n tos places he sc 1t
bis disposal in this section. And. he odd
cd, by way OF paren-hcsis. that I'VE had
better begin 10 get together among our
selves before figuring Oh setting to..csher
with Grant. which irdicares that all is .,ot
as lovely as 1t might be with the oRden-
Aiakemson- Bcll-Brush crowd.
The occasion OF Jwen Tcrd's presence
at the meeting referred 10 was that lie
wants to be postmaster at San Mvfcos.
and wants Makemson, who Is goi..s TO
Ford Is gold or Mciiiaiey democrat, who
believes that .hore Is some reward conn g
to those who go. .Efu The aid society bard
wagon last year. but IL is understood that
about all OF the Endorsements worth hby-
ing from San Marcos Tor the job he wants
have been obtained by Colonel w. d. Ca
rev. who is an original Mckinley man.
Aside from seeking Makemson's support,
Ford, so 1t has been told The Post CORE
spondent, was DESTROYS OF having the in-
dorsemsnt of j. r. Harris. the regular re-
publican nominee from this district ut the
last election. but failed to get Il Derause
he has been running with Makemson. The
latter, 1t VIII b. remembered after having
been turned down by the Ninth district
repubil an convention In 1896. vas. with
he assistunce OF Kurnol Huston OF in
diana, nominated for congress by Billy
b ush. Big Thad Bell, Jake iIoraburger
and co'ored person from Hays county,
while Harris was nominated In he regular
way by the plerary committee named by
the regular convention. Both ran he ;uce
out and both were beaten, and they never
areak as they PASS by, hence Harri.' re-
fusal to indorse Ford because of his ILtl-
macy with Makemson.
AS q general proposition. tnc Ogden

the dumps 1t has indotsAd Makemscn

Western district and Little" TnaG Fell

complication. Hawley. who is D't Down

Geutes. wants Siebrecht II La'tianga for
Marshall and Henry Ferguson for tolltc-
tor. On the Ferguson proposition Ii. is
at loggerhcnds with Green for the state
chairman has. TO please ogden inhe ;'sed
little Thad BELL for the coilecto;ship
and will not recede.
Traynham does not expect to land the

get something good to seconl,ense i'm for
his political services while j. Is genera w
say so In the naming o. t,c one II the e.
fices in question, with the provlso Ma. he
shall indorse some original MckiI'ey man

The story started by Web Flanagan that
