Republican Party of Loui lana,
New Orleans, March l. 1880.
WHEREAS, In the removals made this day
(fitty-nine i'll number) from the New Or
leans Customhouse. the State Central Com
mittee SEQ that nothing has been done to re-
move any of the large number of Demo-
Gratis now employed by the collector of the
port; and, whereas. many of the best and
most meritorious Republicans who were
employed there have been discharged; and,
whereas, the whole conduct of Mr.. Casey
shows that he is not only not in accord with
the Republican party of this State, but, on
the contrary he is doing all that he can to
disrupt the party, and distract the councils
Of those who sustain the administration OF
President Grant therefore, be it
ResOlred, That We recommend the uncon-
ditiOnal removal of James F. Casey from
the office of collector of customs of the
port Of New Orleans.
