Republican Party Of Louisiana, )
New Orleans, March 10, 1872
To the Republicans of the State Of Louisiana:
The Republican State Central Committee having
in the discharge of the duties imposed upon them
by the last State Convention arrived at the regular
period which has been set apart by the usages of
the party for its State Conventions, and having
authorized their President to issue the usual call
therefor, deem the occasion suitable to address,
these brief remarks upon the political situation 10
their fellow Republicans. The quadrennlal eiec-
ton for a President of the United States occurs
this year. The election of this high officer Of the
republic, whose character and political views are
SO important, especially to the Republicans OF the
South, and whose selection almost decides our pont
ica fate for the next four years. and perhaps for tine
whole future makes this election one OF the deep
est and most vital interest to all our people. we
feel that we speak their unanimous sentiment
when we invite them to respond to the call of the
National Republican Committee, and advise them
to send our best representative men to the Philar
delphia Convention, to help in selecting tried,
true and uniinching Republican to be orr next
President. Our State election is also of the great
est Importance. We have to elect a Governor.
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary OF State Auditor
of Public Accounts Superintendent Of Public Edu-
cation Attorney General, new General Assembly,
and Representatives in Congress. In fact, this
election is to determine question still more i'm
portant to than who shall be the next President.
1t is to determine for the next four years whether
the State government shall be Republican or Demo-
cratic in favor of equal rights or against them; in
favor of progress, education and improvement for
all people, black well as white, OF in favor
only of white progress, education and improve
ment, and opposed to equal advantages for
the black people, whether Ihall retain all that
we have won and 60 forward, or whether we shall
lose all and 60 back to where We were at the close
of the war.
We wish plainly and distinctly to understand the
fact that all parties opposed to the Republican
party, whether under the name of Democrats, Re-
formers Peoples party, Or any other title what
| ever, ere simply the old Democratic party under
names and have for their object but one thing
that ID to throw the State government out of the
control of the Republican party and into the hands
of their enemies Our people will also see that to
| defeat the strong and determined efforts Of the
enemy to again get control of the State one thing
is the great essential that all Republicans shall be
| UNITED AND WORK TOGETHER If We do this,
| victory is certain.
| To this end, cordially invite all true and
earnest Republicans without regard to past differ
ences, 10 Unite III thls CONVENTION Snu u nolina'o
| such ticket and adopt such a platform as will
| command the respect and support Of the whole
| people.
All good Republicans also desire that our party
shall as assured it win, declare itself de-
cidedly, distinctly and definitely in favor of re-
| trenehment, reform. reduction Of taxes and the
| removal of all unnecessary burdens on commerce
and trade, and in favor of equal and just legisla
ton for al interests and all classes of persons
