LON BARKLEY,
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 a representation in Tarrant county
as the present meeting indicates. The
party should take hold of the reins and
say to those who have hitherto followed
the political pillow in this county that we
propose to take hold of the
reins. While the Democrats have
put out q 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 act on principle. Let US hoist the
Republican flag and 1 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
