STATE CENTRAL ConurrrRR,

,s. ~ New Orleans. March Is, 1874.
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 occa sion suitable to address
these brief remarks upon the political situation to
their fellow Republicans. The quadrennial cleo
ton for . 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 pot-
ica fate for the next years. and perhaps for the
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 Phila-
delphia Convention, to help in selecting tried,
true and unfinching Republican to be our next
President Our State election is also of the great
est Importance We have to elect 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 us than who shall be the next President
It is to determine for the next four years whether
the State government shall be Republican or Demo-
cratic in favor of equal rights against them; in
favor of progress education and improvement for
r. r,aH NH II, fovnF
only of white progress, education and improve
ment, and opposed to equal advantages for
the black people; whether shall retain all that
we have won and 60 forward, or whether we shall
lose all and go back to where were ct 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, are simply the old Democratic party under
new Names and have for their object but one thing
that is to throw the State government out Of the
control of the Republican party and into the bands
of their enemies Our people will also see that tt
defeat the strong and determined efforts Of the
enemy to again get control Of the State thing
is the great essential that all Republicans shall bt
UNITED AND WORK TOGETHER. If We do this
victory is certain.
To this end, we cordially invite all true ant
earnest Republicans, without regard to past differ
ences to unite in this convention and to nominate
| such ticket and adopt such platform as will
| command the respect and support Of the who'll
| people. .-
All good Republicans also desire that our part.
SHALL as we are assured it will, declare itself de
cidedly, distinctly and definitely in favor of re
trenchment, reform. reduction of taxes and tn
| removal of all unnecessary burdens ontommerc
| and trade, and in favor of equal and just leg;sla
ton for all interests and all classes of persons.
! By order of the committee.
| P. B. s. PINCHBACK,
| President.
