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 a. the regular
period which has been set apart by the usage of
the party for its State Conventions, and having
authorized their President to issue the usual call
therefor, deem tue occa sloc suitable to address
these brief remarks upon tie political situation to
their fellow Republicans. The quairennial e,ec-
tion for a President OF the United States occurs
this year. The election of this gh officer of the
repubic, whose character and political view are
SO important especially to the Republicans of the
South, and whose selection almost decides our po.it
ica fate for the neXt four 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 seL ,,:u:t Mt
when we invite them to respond to tie cal: 0. the
National republican Committee, and advise them
10 send our best rep-ese ntative men TO the Phia-
deipfla Convention to help in selecting tried
true and unainchng Republican 20 De our next
President. Our State lection is also OF the great
est importance. We have to elect Governor
Lieutenant Goverpor, Secretary Of State, Auditor
otPubc Accounts Superintendent of Public i.dl-
:
and Representatives il Congress. In fact this
election is to determine question still more i'm
portant to us than who shall be the next President.
1t is to determine Cor the next four years whether
the State government shall be Republican or Demo-
cratlc i'll favor ct equal rights or against them; in
favor Of progress, education and improvement for
all people, black we'll white, in favor
only of white progress education and improve
ment and opposed to equal advantages for
the black people; whether we shall retain all that
we have won and 90 forward, or whether we shall
lose all and 80 back % where We We're at the close
of the war.
We wish plainly and distinctly to understand the
fact that all parties opposed TO the Republican
party, whether iinGer 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 cle 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 oe
UNITED AND WORK TOGETHER Ii do this
victory is certain.
To this end cordially invite all true and
earnest Republicans without regard to past dllfer
ences, to unite in this convention and to nominate
such a ticket and adopt such platform as viii
command tie respect and support Of the whole
people,
