Mr.. Hawley was beaten as everyone
knows, Judge Burns was given the pace
he wanted. Other places became vacant
and were filled. The machine in Texas
seemed to be running smoothly up to a
few weeks ago when the John Grant Incl
dent and other things began to Indicate
that the peace aud harmony so much talked
OF did not exist. 1t WAS plain thet the
ieaGers were badly divided. llr. llawlcy

clearly what may be expected IN the tu
turc.
The rank and ilo Of the party is OF course,
divided Just us the leaders are divided.
Some OF the yeomen think that Sr. Hawley
was justified In doing what lie did and
o hers hold the opposite view, Tne more
conservative ones, who are really anxious
to advance the interests of their party and
10 bring about harmony that really Is har-
mony, think that 1t would be better for
Judge Burns friends to let the whole mat
ter drop. judge Burns was victorious, the
conservative ones say, and his following
could AFFORD to be magnanimous
Unless all present indications are at tault
the fight for the chairmanship OF the State
executive committee viii be one of the BIT
tcrcst ever fought by the Texas repuo-
licans. Exclusive dispatches to The Post
from Galveston not long ago were 10 the
effect that Henry Terrell, attorney Of the
San Antonio district, would be a candidate
for the place and little later MIR, rerre
confirmed this news stu later came the
that Cecil Lyon would Ger
tiinly strive to succeed himself and, to cap
the climax, came satcment-not ye! de
iued-that T.. H. X. Green might decide
to make the race three cOrnercd. Mr.. iaw-
ley aud his friends Will back Terrell. 1t vs.
safe to assume that Judge Burns ana MS
friends will back Lyon The hght wi no
doubt he between these two. II is not
likely that Mr. Green could secure the
place no matter how hard he tried.
Thus the matter stands at present. the
republicans VIII make The fight OF their
liyes In the Fifteenth district and some OF
them hope to win. These are the onrs
who think that the differences IN the party
can be rcconcled. that all enmity can ne
effnced and that harmony can BE- brought
about. But there are others who are not
optimistic. They know that Burns ana
Hawley are engaged III scrap ana that
others of the leaders arc not In harmony
