It is claimed by’ Dr. Flower’s
friends that he can diagnose any
disease of any person without ask-
ing the patient a question and
that he is the only living physician
who can scientifically do so with-
out making a mistake.
The Boston Globe says: “In the
treatment of cancer consumption
tumor ; heart and nerve troubles
Dr. R. C. Flower has no equal in
the world.” The Boston Traveler
says: “There is no experiment in
Dr. R. C. Flower’s practice. Able
as he is to tell any one his disease
without asking a question he is
not likely to doctor his patients
for the wrong disease.” The New
York Tribune says: “Dr. R. C.
Flower of Boston is the highest
authority on chronic disease and
enjoys the largest practice of any
living physician.”
Our readers will see that this
visit of Dr. R. C. Flower to Texas
will enable the sick to consult him
close to their homes.
Henry E. Dixey.
Grand opera house was well filled
last night with a critical though
fun loving audience attracted by
the reputation of Comedian Henry
E. Dixey and the advance press
notices. The audience was not dis-
appointed in their expectations of
being entertained with refined
comedy and all were well pleased
with Mr. Dixey and his well chosen
company. The curtain raiser was
the final act in “The Seven Ages”
while the play “Lottery of Love”
was so full of laughs that the au-
dience did not stop laughing ex-
cept between curtains. Mr. Dixey
certainly deserves the success he
secured last night as his enter-
tainment is of high merit. He will
present a change of bill tonight
entitled “An Evening With
Dixey.”
Weather Forecast
For the 12 hours ending 8 a. m.
February 21st: Tonight generally
fair stationary temperature. For
the 12 hours ending 8 p. m. Febru-
ary 21st: For Friday increased
cloudiness rain and cooler during
evening. James A. Barry Ob-
server.
REFORM REPUBLICANS.
The State Executive Committee Met at
Waco Yesterday.
The Reform Republican Execu-
tive committee (which the Express
and its dear compadres Cassiano
Cuney & Co. call “Lily Whites”)
pursuant to a regular call of Chair-
man Goodall met at Waco yester-
day at the city hall and were cor-
dially greeted by the mayor and
other leading citizens of the city
among them being Maj. Parrott
and Hon. George Clark.
Owing to sickness in his family
Chairman Goodall failed to arrive
and Treasurer Sam. L. Hain of
San Antonio presided and James
P. Newcomb was elected perma-
nent secretary.
The roll call showed the follow-
ing present:
First district Ed. Davis Jeffer-
son; Fifth district John Gillis
Mineola; Eleventh district George
A. O’Brien Waco; Twelfth district
S. M. Jones Kosse; Fourteenth
district A. B. Morton Dallas;
Sixteenth district C. B. Peck
Houston; Twentieth district T.
L. Wren Austin; Twenty-third
district T. B. Johnson San An-
tonio ; Twenty-fifth district C. W.
Standard Kinney county; Twenty-
seventh district W. H. Harvey.
A number of proxies were forward-
ed to the meeting from other
members of the committee but did
not reach in time for session.
At the hour set for the meeting
2:30 p.m. a quorum being found
present the first order of business
presented was the selection of the
time and place for the state con-
vention. By resolution adopted
Houston was selected for the meet-
ing to be held Monday April 20th.
the call is made
for the purpose of selecting a full
delegation to attend the republican
national convention at St. Louis
June 16 fill all vacancies in dis-
tricts not represented and trans-
act such other business as may be
properly presented to the conven-
tion. The question of nominating
a state ticket was discussed and
left open to be decided at the meet-
ing at Houston.
A resolution was adopted invit-
ing the republican league clubs of
the state to attend the conven-
tion.
The basis of representation was
fixed at two delegates-at-large for
each county and one for every 250
votes cast for Harrison in 1892 and
one for every 125 votes over that
number.
A resolution was adopted in
connection with the basis of rep-
resentation inviting the colored
republicans (as well as good sound
money democrats if they desired)
to join with the republicans at the
Houston meeting. A number of
colored republicans have already
expressed their willingness to join
with the white republicans in try-
ing to decently organize the party
in the state saying that they
themselves are tired of being man-
ipulated by a few colored bosses
and white pie hunters. While the
resolution was not mandatory it
was agreed and understood among
the members of the committee
that in counties where there were
a number of colored (negro) voters
they should be entitled to at least
one delegate or more from each
county the basis of representation
to be decided by the local county
committee.
The State Chairman Goodall and
Secretary Newcomb were request-
ed to at once notify the various
county and district chairmen to
organize the party throughout the
stateand select delegates to the St.
Louis and state conventions.
The meeting of the committee
was business-like and harmonious
and there is no row or split re-
ported among the Reform Republi-
can party of Texas except at Fort
Worth; it being only of a local na-
tu ;e and the state committee de-
cided will not be permitted to be
entangled in th i state convention.
The members of the committee
express confidence in their recog-
nition by the St. Louis convention
and declare that that convention
will admit the Reform republicans
as the regular party organization
ofj Texas. A full delegation will
go to St. Lonis and will be pre-
pared to submit arguments and
claims which must secure their
recognition.
The citizens of Waco were at-
tentive and hospitable to the com-
mittee and were very pressing in
their invitation to have the state
convention held at Waco. The
cities of Houston and Jefferson
likewise expressed themselves
anxious to entertain the republi-
cans. A majority of the commit-
tee favored Ban Antonio for the
state convention but as no invita-
tion had been sent from our city
Houston was decided on as the
most accessible point on account
of the numerous railroads running
there.
