LON BARLEY,
Chairman.
This report was adopted without oppo-
sition, and the new officers were in
stalled.
In taking his seat as chairman, Judge
Moore congratulated the party on having
such representation in Tarrent county
as the present meeting indicates. Ths
party should take hold OF the reins and
say to those who have hitherto followed
the political plow in this county that we
propose to take hold of the
reins. While the Democrats have
put out a good ticket in
the state, yet we will show them that
they cannot be elected without opposi-
ton. We must take off our coats and
prove to our good Democratic friends
that they are wrong. They have simply
gone astray; we Will bring them back.
We oOI LOU u1 uOish hhC
Republican flag and prophecy that the
time will come when we will elect full
ticket in this county. 1t will be best for
the prosperity of the country. The
brutal and ever increasing Democratic
majority IN Texas keeps away farmers
and capital. l do not say this for bum
combe. / am here to make money, but
in trying to induce people TO come
here 1 am met by this difficulty. We
need an organ here. THE GAZETTE is a
great paper. 1t is one of the grandest
papers in the South. l honor the pluck
and energy put in it, but let US have an
organ of our own. The speaker went on
to encourage his hearers to harmony and
energetic action.
The report of the committee on resolu-
tons was read and adopted as follows:
Resolved, that in line with the prinei-
pies and policy of the Republican party
as heretofore set forth in both state and
national platforms, this conven-
ton hereby reiterates the princi-
pies of protection to American
labor and supplements it with
the declaration that to secure its devo-
ton intellectually, morally and finan-
cialIy, it has the right TO orgapizs for
protection against foes within as well as
foes without, and that no treaty should
be made with the enemies of labor be they
foreign or domestic upon the basis of
surrender of the weapons of defense; we
therefore cordially Invite the co-opera-
ton in the coming election of all those
persons whose interests are furthereG by
the American federation of labor.
Resolved, that we most heartily In
of
of State James 6. Blaine as of vast i'm
portauce and benefit to the whole coun-
try, and as of inestimable benefit to
Texas and the Southwest commercially,
opening and enlsrging the intercourse of
this section with Mexico and other latin
American states.
Resolved, that we are opposed to ultra
and hostile legislation to the railway in
terests of Texas or any legislation calcu-
lated to work injustice to any of the IN
dustries and enterprise of Texas.
We congratulate the country upon the
passage by congress OF the silver bill,
and we ask congress to pass laws pro-
Yiding for the unlimited coinage of sill
YER which is and ever has been the eIrcu-
lating medium among the masses of our
people.

acknowledgment, especially to the Hon.

Fort Worth, who, with an unselfish de-
yotion, went TO the city of Washington
at their own expense, to the neglect of
their private business aud ably supple
mented the efforts of Judge Abbott to-
wards securing an increase of appropria-
ton for such building, which was hap
PLY and properly consUmated.
