he said, that member OF the committee
| was carrying water on both shoulders, and
this was matter comprehended in the call.
Col. Seth Shepard, as representative Of
the bar association. addressed the meeting
as to the methods best to adopt in nominal
inc a Pictorial representative for this dis
trict. Col. Shepard stated that 1t might be
better before calling a convention, to con-
| suit with the organized Democracy of Rock
wall and Tarrant counties. AS a better
suggestion, he thought the committee might
get candidate without convention, as
number Of able men, in view of the
| importance of the matter to Dallas,
! are willing 10 serve one short term
| 1t Austin. The bar association of course
| would not name or suggest u candidate, but
nan ed. They suggested that an effort be
| made to secure the good will and co-opera-
| ton of Rockwell county They thought
| Rockwell county if communicated with,
would readily accede to Dallas the fioater
| for the called session. The bar was
| actuated simply by the advancement of the
| interests Of Dallas and promised hearty CO.
! operation. He stated that the board of
| trade had been requested to appoint com
| mittee with the view OF getting all interests
| conferred on one candidate.
a motion was adopted whereby a COM
| mittee of five was appointed TO confer with
| the Democratic executive committee of
Rockwell county and the committee ar
| pointed by the Dallas board OF trade in ref
ercnce 10 the matter
Governor Gibbs stated that the party
usage required the chairnen of the differs
ent county organizations to consult with
each other and decide upon 4 time and place
| for holding conventions.
Judge Force stated that there was lit
| tie history behind the matter which in
| Pplved question of the authority of Chair
lfmau Cantey of the Pictorial district who
lives IN Fort Worth, to call the convention.
Col Shepard, before leaving, stated that
he desired to suggest that the bar associa-
tiaa. did not undertake to dictate to the
committee. They simply thought it would
be best TO confer with Rockwell county
with the view of getting her to accede to
Dallas the fiOater this time. If the commit
Tee thought best TO hold Il convention the
bar association had nothing more to say
|NIr Gray offered another substitute that an
| executive session ne held, but that visiting
Democrats be requested to hold their peace
and not participate in the speeches and pro-
cecdings. "a
Capt Joe Record asked what would be
done III case MIR. Cauty of Fort Worth,
chairman of the district, refused to call the
convention.
MIR. Gilbert denied that the vote on Mr..
kemp's motion would be 4 test of party
fealty, as had been claimed by Mr.. Kemp.
This was not the time 10 call convention
and the question of holding convention
was out of place
Judge Force thought all trouble could be
avoided by indorsing candidate, provided
a convention is called. In case of conyen-
ton this action would amount to instruc-
tiOns.
Mir Gray said that the committee was
without authority to make nominations.
Its whole duty was to determine the queS-
ton of whether or not a convention be
called.
Mr. Cullom offered the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, that it is the sense of this COM
mittee that a convention be called at the
proper time for the purpose of nominating
I candidate for 6oater, and that the Demo-
Gratis Of RockwaQ county be invited to CO.
operate with US i'll the nomination of a Dial
las county Democrat for this position.
Resolved, that the matter of calling this
nominating convention be left to the chair
man Of this committee. Adopted
Some member then stated that W. R.
Cole, q member of the committee, was an
advocate Of the sub treasury scheme,
which was undemocratic and that he ought
10 be asked to resign. This matter brought
out much discussion.
Mr.. Cullum offered the following:
Whereas, the Democratic state convention
in 1880 passed L resolution declaring its OPP
position TO the sub-treasury doctrine; and
Whereas, this committee deems the sub
treasury doctrine undemocratlc: therefore,
be it
Resolved, that any member of this COM
mittee who is an advocate of the sub-treas-
ury doctrine DE requested to resign.
The resolutions were adopted MIR. Cole
then rendered his resignation which was
accepted. DR.. J. n. Ryan of Calhoun was
elected TO fill the vacancy
Mr.. Cullom offered the following, which |
was accepted: !
Whereas. we recognize the importance
OF strict party organization at all times, and |
more especially during the approaching ma
tlonal, state and county campaign, there !
fore be it |
