History

The party was established in 1887 by Patrick Dargan, who led it until his death in 1908.[1][2] It later absorbed the Portuguese-founded Reform Association.[3] In the 1897 general elections the party supported several candidates, including Dargan and Andrew Benjamin Brown; almost all of them were elected.[3]
