q committee to draft resolutions expressive Of
the sense of the meeting, ]. O. Woodruff,
Parmele, ] B. Walton, G. A. Fosdick, w. II.
Reese, Capt j. F. Mclean, f. A. Lumsden.
Below are the resolutions prepared and pre-
scented by them and unanimously adopted BY
the meeting:
Resolped, That it is essential to the just and
successful administration of the government Of
this city, that the Corporation officials should
be selected with reference to their capacity,
honesty, and interest in the prosperity Of the
city, and without regard to their opinions and
qualities rs political partisans.
RESOLVED, That the distinction and division Of
the people into Wings and Democrats, which re-
late to political issues and differences, do not
| apply to, and ought not to be regarded in the
selection of persons to administer the govern
ment of city, which has nothing to do with
political rights, but ought to be limited entirely
to objects and questions of u public character
Resoiued That it is the duty of every good
citizen who is interested in the restoration OF
the credit of the city, in the elevation Of the
character of its government and officials, to
buckle on his armer and take the field in the
approaching election, against those who seek
c to possess the Offices and revenues of the corpo-
ration, to equander them upon spoismen, parti-
sans and political and social drones.
That this duty requires the organization Of
: Vigilance and Challenging Committees to attend
the polls on the day of the election, and protect
, the ballot box against fraud and violence, and
that previous to the election, every good citizen
should use all his efforts to arouse the citizens to
d sense Of the lamentable condition of our city
g "a condition unworthy this great commercial
: emporium.
RESOLVED, That the approaching charter cleo
tions will turn mainly upon the question,
whether the people will continue to be governed
by party or by capacity, honesty and interest in
: the prosperity of the people. The continuation
Of the rule of party in our city affairs, in the
G opinion Of this meeting, would be deeply injuri
,. GUS to the welfare and progress of New Orleans
A call was then made for DIR. Harmon, Wit
:. presented himself upon the stand and delivered
= an eloquent and energetic address, calling upol
:, the people to bestir themselves in the cause o
: improvement and reform denouncing in TIL
strongest terms the City Council and the cit,
:, government generaly--and declaring that tn
present organization was entirely unfit to b
entrusted with the interests Of great city
:, was altogether corrupt and required thorough
: purging.
He was followed in his happy remarks b.
). Messrs F. A Lumsden, G. G. Lathrop and DR.
y j. s. Mcfarland, whose respective speeches wer
!, deservedly received with much applause, and Of
motion the meeting then adjourned
