AZ the meeting Of the state execut've
committee, held in the city OF san An
tonic on the first and second days OF Au-
gust, action was taken which resulted In
party harmony being seriously disturbed
A continuation of such methods assaults
the integrity, impoverishcs the blood ae-
stroys the growth. imperils the lie oil tue
party and leads to political madness
l. is the manifest duty OF every repup

duty 10 protect his party from the inward
imbecillty and outward mendscity OF
those who seek it's disruption, as 80

trary. III advised, wanton and revolution
larry. as well as absolutely without war
rant OF law.
small coterie Of the personal friends
OF Mr. E. H. r. Green, backed up by
proxies, dominated the action OF the som-
mittee.
Without right or reason, and without
notice, they deposed seven members OF
ne executive committee for the purpose,
as stated by them, OF "disciplning" these
gentlemen for the part they took in the
Ferguson convention at Waco on Marcn
g. 1900. :.
These seven memebers, strange as Il
NAV seem. we're all supporters OF Hon. K
b. Hawley, the present member OF the
National committee and congressman from
the Tenth Texas district. The conclusion
is inevitable that the Green people IN
fact, wanted to discipline Mr.. Hawley
Mr.. Hawleys friends will appreciate
this gratuitous effort on the part OF Mr.
Green and his advisers to "beneht the
party" by "dlsciplining' him.
It will be your province and doubles
the record accomplished at Waco ane
again at Philadelphia, where the dis
organizers in large measure became
merely spectators
It is but proper to call your attention
to the fact that but six "Green mem
bers" of the committee were present oil
the day of expulsion, and on the secon'
day when this same committee assume
to question and dlscredt the election o
Hon r. B Hawley as the Texas membe
