Packard and other CustOmhOuse officials
nominate one w. Pitt Kellogg for Governor,
TO be voted for by the Republicans in this

corded to the white man; therefore, be it

as unbecoming the true principles of Re
publicanism.

practice by men claiming allegiance to the |
great Republican party, without such re-
buke as they richly deserve.
ReSOlred, That we denOunce their whole |

sentative leader of the true and loyal Re |
pubhCans in the State of Louisiana, in the |
selection of good men for good government. |
DIR. S. L. Henry was then introduced to |
