lie did not think it necessary. OF course
the Democratic and Republican parties
were depressing the laboring people. They
had passed over prohibition as a side
issue. What would become OF this great
party? None Of the leaders of the two
great parties will carry out the principles
oil our party. WIN our party mngle with
the othersf No, we stand without a
home in any party. We must carry out
our principles ourselves. This class
legislation is contrary to the bible and the
constitution of the United States
These complaints we hear must
have foundation and they
must be the outcome of laws passed by
the two old parties. These complaints
must be removed either by the ballot or
by the sword. Is there not cause for
new party to remove this class legislation
and place the government again on the
shoulders Of the peopleg
The motion "that we do not nominate
a state ticket" was then taken up and
carried by large majority, mostly of
Tarrant county delegates.
DR.. II. s. Broiles then addrested the
convention congratulating the delegates
upon the success Of their organization.
He thought that the party was sure to
succeed II 1t nominated the right kind OF
men.
The report of the committee on plat
form, owing to the failure of the conyen-
ton to nominate state ticket, contained
nothing but q recommendation to ap.
point none on committees who were
not out-and-odt Anti-Monopolists 1t was
read and adopted, DIR. Broiles then
moved that the chairman and his COM
mittee have the privilege TO lop of any

olists. Seconded and carried.
Moved that the chairman appoint a
committee to draft letter setting out
the principles of the party in Texas,
such letter to be printed in as many
papers as would publish It.. Carried.
The chair appointed Gen. Hannah, j.
T. w. Loe, James Smith and M. j.
Nolan, as such committee.
Moved and seconded that the thanks
of the convention be rendered the chair
man, secretary and assistant secretary
for their services. Carried
The convention then adjourned
sine die.
CONVENTION NOTES.
Among those present was DR.. j. d.
Rankin, Mills opponent for congress in
the Ninth district. He has doubtless
heard the old saw, "the mills OF the
gods" etc.
Ut. w. Loe of Austin used to be
member of the legislature. Aside from
his infatuation for office he is an excel
lent man.
DR.. Andrew Young of Cleburne is the
same Andrew as OF yore. He is strictly
fornenst the old parties.
Dohoney's sentiment that the Anti-Mo.
combine somehow failed to evoke much
enthusiasm. Mr.. Dohoney will hardly
capture many votes for governor out of
the Daggett-hall convention.
The Tarrant county representation
threw Its influence against state ticket.
Three-fourths OF the men that so opposed
will vote for Sui Ross.
Parker Of Ohio was one OF the best
takers, and compllmented the meeting on
its good behavior.
Col. A. M. Cochran of Dallas, Republi-
can nominee for governor, was quiet
spectator.
1t was rather queer that Mr.. Spellman,
an iron-clad Democrat, got mixed in with
the committe on platform. His bouncing
was very speedy affair.
