FEDERAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
GRANT AND HAWLEY EACH HAVE A
MAN FOR THE PLACE.
Likely tn he Trial Of strength BE-
tween the Two as to which shall
Name Taliaferro's Successor.

Galveston. Texas. January 10. There Ia
likely to come trial of strength pretty
soon between John Grant, the high priest
of the republican party in Texas and
Congressman r. b. Hawley. The contest
Will be over the appointment of United
States attorney for the Eastern district
OF Texas, and the struggle may now be
said to be on.
The term of Hon. S. Taliaterro, the
present incumbent, will expire in about
thirty days. The candidates for the po-
sition are M. G. McLemore. city recorder
of Galveston. and h. y. IIannay OF Hemp
stead. Lock Mcdaniel, late candidate for
criminal district attorney of Harris and
Galveston counties, was an applicant but
withdrew a short time ago, leaving the
race to the above named gentlemen.
Grant is in Washington nov and has
been for several days. He is not only
United States marshal for this district
but is also the member Of the National
executive committee from Texas. Osten.
sibly the purpose Of his trip to the capital
has something to do with Confederate
cemeteries and the carrying out OF the
sentiments uttered by rresident McKin-
ley In his Atlanta speech. Grant Is known
to be bac ong Hannay In his race for the
district attorneyship and the practical po-
lticians are convinced that he is in Wash.
ington to work for the Hampstead man.
1t is hardly necessary to say that Nc
Lemore has the support of Congressman
Hawley. He has been Hawley's campaign
manager on two occasions and they have
been associated together in politics for
several years The United States district
attorneyship is plum WORTH fighting for.
II pays salary OF $4,000 year and In the
distribution Of patronage is one OF the
best Offices that falls to the lot OF Texas.
Mr.. McIemore feels confident Of winning.
He has asked Mr.. Hawley to urge the APP
pointment and have the fght over as soon
as possible II successful he wants to
spend some time becoming familiar with
the routine OF the office before he quail
fees.
Unless there is compromise the result
of this contest may bo looked upon AZ a
fair test OF the relative political strength
OF Grant and Hawley and will have a
bearing upon future republican politics
in the State The outcome Will be watched
with the keenest interest by the friends OF
hnt n 1eadera.

In the present case the claim was COLI
lected with less expense and labor than
was anticipated, but the contract and fee
must be measured not alone by what was
done, but also by what might have boon
necessary in order to fully test the rights
of the State. The contract calls for 10 per
cent of the amount collected, and the SUM
actually paid WAS SOL, 1i3 81. For reasons
heretofore given. however, the State can
not honorably retain more than S56,llS. 81.
and II Is therefore recommended that 10
per cent OF that amount be paid as fee.
The question whether the State should
insist upon the payment of interest and
therefore retain tho s45,00U paid on the
Toby claim has been fully considered. and
In my judgment this should not be done.

interest on such claims.
