Address of the Republican Parish Cams
|. pafgn Committee to the Voters of New
Orleans.
A few days since the Parish Convention
of the Republican party completed the
nomination Of full parish and city ticket.
| The committee now invites the attention of
the citizens of New Orleans to the candi-
dates named, and challenges a comparison
OF this ticket with any other that has been
submitted for the sotes of the people.
f! The committee asks p consideration Of
the platform of principles and purposes
| adopted by that convention. It speaks an
earnest and honest desire for REFORM il de-
clares for the education Of all the children;
1t proposes the payment Of all she just pub
llc debts of the city and State; iC sympa-
thi2es with works OF internal Improvement.
and invites capital from abroad In this
platform, which breathes the true PUP
poses Of our party, we pronounce I'M
equivOcally for the protection of nat.
uraized citizens and for the equal rights
Of all men before the law, We
propose to foster commerce by reducing the
onerous exactions in the shape of wharfage
taxes; we intend to unfetter trade by abol-
ishing unjust and discriminating licenses,
and we will help the laborers and other
employees Of the city by paying their sala-
ries 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 to
maintain and defend the rights and inter
ests Of laboring men.
The ticket which we now submit il
the only one which has been put in nom
nation by men representing any re-
spectacle portion of the community.
The Republican Parish Convention spoke
in the name Of 10000 of the voters of
New Orleans Our ticket was named by
Of the people, for the people
and no committee claims the authority to
interfere with it. This fact forms a 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 ooncIave. |
Such nominations are made in violation of |
every principle Of party organization and |
are not binding upon any one except the
who constituted themselves
the voice of party so disorganized as to
become prey to their designs.
The Republican party invites into its /
ranks every true man who cherishes the prin-
,iples Of liberty, and who desires the per
1etuity and the glory Of the nation Our
party has no prejudices. In it white and
olaok 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 noblest, because
hey proclaim the absolute freedom of all
oen and the absolute equality of political
lights, and because we extend the right
and of fellowship to men Of all nations,
nd propose to protect the laborer as well
s the capitalist
Our policy is the best, because, instead of
hasing after the property holders and join
lg in their frantic cry of reforml reforml
e propose and mean to execute measures
I reform-not in the interest Of taxpayers
nd property holders alone, but for the ad-
antsge of the whole people, the poor as
ell as the rich, the laborer as well as the {
apitalist We, therefore, ask the co-opera- {
on OF all good and true men. {
