Next Day or So,
{ Special to The PostD

7
Washington. January 2o.--Ceo Lyon, chair
man OF the Texas State republican committee.
returned to Washington today from trip which
is supposed to have included points in Maryland
and New York
National Committeeman Hawley is expected
here tomorrow and the impression prevails that
the Texas patronage fight will be settled within
the next day or two
II is said that Mr.. Lyon and Mr.. Hawey have
held several long conferences during the past
day or two aud that some sort of agreement
has been reached, It is thought that f H. R.
Green will not come to Washington at this time.
The impression prevails that he is trying to keep
on friendly terms with both Lyon and Hawley and
thinks that he might become too deeply involved
were he TO come here to participate in the fight.

THE NEW GOVERNOR.

Colonel Lanhams easy victory in the race
for governor, which office he has now as
sumed, was a striking trioute to the popu-
larity which he enjoys-a popularity which
is based upon intimate knowledge of his
private character and public virtues, and not
upon the indscriminate admiration which
comes to some men through force OF excep.
tional magnetism or by reason of dazzling
effort Texas esteems him for his amable
nature, his integrity his courage as a soldier,
his conservatism as a lawmaker and HIS
cleaness of private life and public record.
He comes into office, therefore, with the
cordial sympathy of the vast majority Of
the people who regard him more as per
sonal friend than as ain awesome ruler.
He comes at period when the States
affairs are IN prime condition. To use
homely metaphor befttng the practical
quality Of the past administration, Governor
Sayers has been a most excellent house
keeper The new governor will find the
fgurative capitol swept and IN order This
is not to say that there Is nothing to do,
but that everything is in place for proper
doing

more encouraging to a wholesome and faith.

It is gratifying to note in Governor Ian.
hams inaugural address a frank apprecia-
ton of this condition. 1t implies that he en-.
ters upon the work with no notion of start.
ling innovations II is to be remarked, also,
that Governor Lauham's knowledge Of State
affairs Is not gathered from a reading OF
department reports. He spent large part
of last summer and fall in visiting all sec
tions of Texas and familiarizing himself with
material conditions and government insti
tutons He is therefore thoroughly at home
and takes up the work without the slightest
awkwardness.
His inaugural address breathes the lofty
spirit OF conservation to public duty which
has been the distinguishing quality Of hi!
public life This occasion was not the tim,
for specific announcement of policies, bu
he said enough to indicate that he will not bc
