Andrews of 1srrant county n at and suita-
BILE person To represent this noatoriai district
in the legislature. and hereby recommend

This resolution created the warmest
debate of the convention, outside OF
the direct issue OF Nash aud Terrell.
The bulk Of Mr.. Nash's friends showed
unnistakablc evidences that the for
tunes Of their leader aud the Rockwell

to their credit. few of Nash's sup.
porters voted for him. The speeches
in favor Of Mr.. Andrews were made
by Messrs. Mitchell (the mover of the
resolution, Robertson, Sterett, Ad-
ans and Strong. The most earn.
est effort was that Of w. u.
Sterett. He said there had been a
feeling worked up for years past, that
aN enmity and an antagonism existed
between Dallas and Fort Worth. He
wanted the two towns and the
two counties set right before the
world; their interests, their ambitions,
their destinies, their friendships were
mutual. Two years ago as n matter of
right and fairness, Dallas county In
1orsed the Rockwell man, and Mr..
Andrews, AS the representative Of Tar
rant county, stepped aside. Now, as n
matter of right, Tarrant county Is In
titled TO the floater, and as Dallas
county two wears ago failed to keep
her hands oil, but acted as nlediator in
the matter between Rockwall and
Tarrant, TO the benefit of the former,
II Is meet and proper that she do 40

young man closely identified with the
interests of Dallas county, and man
who will make good and true legls-

All the speeches In Mr.. Andrews
behalf were of the same tenor, aud
when his Endorsement was announced
the result was received with cheers.
