San Antonio, Texas, August 26.-The In
terview published in the Houston Daily
Post, with Hon. r. B. Hawley, under a
recent Washington date line, serves only
to bring to the memory of the republicans
of the State organization here, this en-
tract from the brilliant Francis Saltus SAL
tus:
IAN easy task. forsootbl Delicious themes,
To sheer at what is grand and pure and
far,
But, to my eyes, their mad persistence
seems,
Like some pale FREELY, jealous OF star
Mr.. Hawley, they say, no sooner ted
his yacht to shore with toy grapnel, and
planted his patent leather on American
soil, than he began 10 wa'g his progn2-
thaus jaw in opposition 10 State Chairman
b. H, r. Green, and the regular repub-
lican organization in Texas. His shih-
boleth is a general denunciation of ali
those republicans in the great Lon Star
State who kotow not to the Pirate Island
boss whom the republicans OF the State,
perhaps, in moment OF mental alteration,
hoisted high on pedestal!
Mr. Hawley pours out the phials OF b S
pent up wrath on proxy holders! For the
sake of Senator Waller Burns Of Houston
and all the United States district a.tor-
neys in Texas, tine leading republicans o!
Bexar county say they think the Gal
weston congressman should slow UP his
gait to fox trot. Every United States
,,ttth or
Waller Burns of Houston thrown in for
lagnlappe tall Hawley mem, were pres
ent at the recent meeting of thu repuo-
lcan State executive committee In San
Antonio by tho grace of proxies II leo $
now as If all of them will get into the
State convention on proxies alone, ii they
get there at all!
The Green forces have ever fought prox-
les. They have ever held that a man
who did not take interest enough in the
party TO attend its meetings, deserved Ill
tie If any considerations at its hands
Mr.. Hawley hiss Jared well by proxies
The major portion of the honors which
he has corraled in the magnum opus o.
his life have come in on the proxy trail
Mr. Hawley boasts of the "honest repub-
licans" OF the State-evidently meanln2
those who crown him as their Olympiar
JuNe ana MAKE nun IUTu Oh all luaL POl
ton OF Texas lying south of Red Riyel
and north Of Cuba
I 1t may as we'll be said now, that the
Hawley delegates to the State convention
will have to be discovered by an X-r1y
process. Every precinct in Bexar county
will send a solid delegation to the county
convention in favor of the upholding o.
Chairman Green and the regular repub-
lican organization II Mr.. Hawley's cam.
pagn manager in Texas, who resId s II
this city, gets to either Bexar county
republican convention or to the State
convention, he will get there by the mr.
banity of the solid escalades of repub'
licans who are championing the cause o
! Chairman Green, and who resent Mr.
Hnwley's charge that they are politica
desperadoes.
1 Every county in the state, so far, tina
has held its county convention 10 sent
delegates to the republican State con
ven.ion has named Green delegates witt
practical unanimty, the suh-State com
mittee here say, and they are overioyel
at The outlook.
The friends of State Chairman Greer
say they would like for Mr.. Hawley, i
some of his numerous interviews, TO eX
plain why he participated in the Melon
ala convention at Waco and thsn de
nounced it as a boiling outlaw conven TO-
Why he promised to support Mr.. Gree
for National committeeman. and the
fought him at Philadelphia?
