Mr Ben M Foreman, who resigned the position of postmaster of Tex arkana to enter the contest for United States marshal, and then turned down by Gen. Powell Clayton in fay- or of Judge Stahl, makes vigorous kick against the treatment he receiy- ed at he hands of Gen Clayton and Chairman Remmel of the Republican state committee, and the bitter feel ing that has been engendered threat ens an overthrow of Clayton rule in Arkansas. MT. Foreman and his friends will not let the humiliation of his throwdown by Gen. Clayton and Chairman Remmel go unresented, ,ard 1t means one of the Warmest fights aver known within the ranks of the Republican party in Arkansas No Republican in the State has been more loyal to his party or done more valiant or effective party work, than MT. Foreman, and he is very sensi- AfS eo IHe SllHS OI Ills present de- feat.
 In an interview with a Texarkana paper he says:
 Before l decided to enter the fight I had the assurance of Gen. Clayton that he would interpose no objection to my appointment.
 After due consideration I address, ed letter to each member of the state committee announcing my candidacy. Among the first to reply was Gen. Clayton, who was then in Mexico. He stated that he had also received d letter from Judge Stahl announcing his can daey, and had written him that
 ne would remain non-eommittal
 until the meeting of the state com mittee. He further said that he
 was friendly to both of us. and
 would be guided in his individual
 vote by services rendered to inc
 party III the past, and their capa-
 oillty to render like services in the
 future
 MT, Foreman says that later he found that Gen. Clayton and Chairman Remmel were opposing him on the grounds that he was opposed to Gen elayton and Chairman Remmel; and that III case a majority of the commit. zee were with him, new chairmap would be elected, and several of f.an eids loh Wafmest friends would be turned down for reappointment Mir formean says that he and his frinnde promptly denounced the charge tb,+ ne was opposing Gen.
