paign Committee 30 the Voters Of Rev
Orleans.
A few days since che Parish Convention
Of the Republican party completed tbs
nomination of a full parish and city ticket
The committee now invites che attention o.
the citizens of New Orleans 80 the eandi
dates named. and challenges a comparison
Of this ticket with any other that has been
submitted for the votes Of the people.
The committee asks a consideration of
the platform of principles and purposes
adopted by that convention. It speaks an
earnest and honest desire for reform: 10 Ge-
elares for the education of all the children;
it proposes the payment Of all the Just pub
lie debts Of the city and State; it sympa-
thizes with works OF internal improvement.
and invites capital from abroad. In this
platform. which breathes She true puro

and we will help the laborera and other
employees Of the city by paying their sa1a-
Eies in cash. The Republican party is EN-.
phatically the party of progress, the party
of reform, the party of equal rights. and is
the only political organization pledged 60
maintain and defend the gights and jnteg.
ests Of laboring men.
The ticket which we now submit is
the only one which has been put in nom.
nation by men representing any SEE
spectacle portion Of the community.
The Republican Parish Convention spoke
in the name of 90, 900 Of the voters of
New Orleans. Our ticket was named BY
representatives Of the people, for the people
and no committee claims the authority to
interfere with it. This fact forms q strik,
ing contrast with the circumstances at,
tending the nominations of the Liberal.
Democratic fusion tickets. There appear
to be several of them, but they were all
made by cliques Of politicians meeting out
Of sight of the citizens in secret conclave.
Such nominations are made in violation of
every principle of party organization and
are not binding upon any one except the
committeeman who constituted themselves
voice Of a party so d~isorganized as to
a prey to their designs,
The Republican party invites into its
every true man who cherishes the prin-
,ipIes of liberty, and who desires the PEP
and the glory of the nation. Our
party has no preiudiees. In it white and
black alike find protection, and the foreign
BORN and the native receive the same CON
ideratiOn.
Our ticket should be preferred because
We present the best candidates, and because
t represents the people, and not political
wire pullers.
Our principles are the hoblest, because
hey proclaim the absolute freedom of all
nen and the absolute equality of political
lights, and because we extend the right
land of fellowship to men of all nations,
nd propose to protect the laborer as we'll
IS the capitalist.
Our policy is the best, because, instead Of
after the property holders and Join
ng IN their frantic cry Of REFORM! reform!
propose and mean to execute measures
+ retorm-not in the interest Of taxpayers
nd property holders alone, but for the ad-
.antage OF the whole people, the poor as
yell as the rich, the laborer as well as the
apitalist. We, therefore, ask the co-opera-
of all good and true men.
