particularly upon the duty of Republicans
sustaining the regular nominees OF the
rarty and the proposed amendments TO the
Constitution In conclusion he SAID: What
is the result of two and hall wears OF he-
publican rule in Louisiana. Civil law has
resumed her sway: the people follow their
wOnted avocatiOns; abundant crops swarm
over the site of old battle-iields; peace has
risen Ph9nix-like from the ashes of war,
and plenty, like an oasis from the desert OF
deserted homesteads.
All men possess equal rights. There is
freedom for the poor as well as the rich, tor
the laborer as well as the capitalist, for the
black man as well as the white man. School
houses and churches are being built for all
classes, and those twin sisters OF clvlliza-
ton. religion and education, walk hand IN
hand throughout our borders to enlighten
and to purify the masses Great internal
improvements have been inaugurated !;
our interior rivers and bayous are
being improved and made naN1Sa-
