Galveston. Texas. November 14.--State
Senator John T.. Linn, who represents this
district in the legislature, was here today
trying to find out from the fai5hful how 1t
all happened He is not in this congress
sional district, but lie represents the Gal
weston people in a State Legislative capac-
ity and he has not yet fully recovered from
the surprise of democratic defeat last
Tuesday. Hence his inquiry Of Eow It all
came about.
He thinks that whey the legislature
meets at Austin in January that one of the
first contests to come up will be the matter
OF patronage. 1t Is understood Tat the
rules OF The senate, wni,h are usually
adopted from one session u another. give
The lieutenant governor power to appoint
all the clerks necessary to- conduct the
Lusiness OF the senate. The senators, how
ever, generally manage to pass resolution
about the first day OF the session delegat-
ing to themselves this power. II Is said the
newly elected lieutenant governor is going
to insist that this authority be not taken
away from him and therein will come tie
conflict. Applicants for clerical, p siti ns
are go numerous that the life of a senator
would be rendered miserable II ne did not
have little patronage 10 distribute.
