At q regular meeting of the Republican
parish committee Of St. Helena, held in
Greensburg, on Saturday. June q. 1874.
the following resolutions were offered and
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, There were. on the sixth in
slant, resolutions adopted by the pretended
parish committee, presided over by Rev.
James Reese, and work ug in the interest Of
the Democratic party, and with w. D. Floyd,
the sworn enemy of the Republican party
and an office seeker, and other discontinued
white men who have lately come into the
party simply to curry favOrs at the hands
of the party, and are now trying to disor-
ganize tho party, in order to secure the
election Of Democratic ticket; be 1t
Resolred That we do hereby express our
utter contempt for the resolutions published
in the Independent, in Amlte City, in the
parish of Tangipahoa, and purportlng 10
have been passed by the parish committee
of this parish, on the sixth instant; that
said resolutions are not only anti-Repub.
lcan, but they clearly betray the evil
designs of certain individuals who are put
ting forth their best efforts to create such
dissensions in the Republican party of this
parish, as will lead to the success of the
Democratic party; be it further
Resoired, That said resolutions, so tar
from expressing the sentiments and feel
ings of the Republican party OF the parish,
are calculated to mislead and deceive true
Republican voters, and We do most EN-
phaticallv denOunce the author OF these
resolutions and all connected Herewith as
engaged in a work, which, if persisted in,
| will lead to the disruption of the Repnb-
| lican party and the triumph OF the De-
mocracy; be it further
Resolred, That we, the Republicans OF
| this parish, do indorse Hon. Z. F. Herwlg
| and regard with favor all of his acts during
| the time he has been a representlve from
| this district and know him to be true Re
| publican; the right man in the right place
| And we also recognize IN Hon. ii. Y. DAVIS
| an able representative of the party ana
steadfast and honest friend OF the colored
people; be it further
| Resolred, That we, the Republicans o.
| this parish, do indorse j. b. Davis, and al
Of his acts, and know him 10 be :. true ano
| tried Republican, working Cor the interes
| and welfare of the party, not for the mere
| suoils of office, az w. D. Floyd and hi!
| CLIQUE; and we look upon j. B. Davis as thu
| leader of the Republican party OF this par
| ish and as he has once led us to victory We
| expect him again to be instrumental IN con
tributing to the success of the party In thu
coming campaign, and we hereby heartily
indorse him for any position for which ht
may become candidate; be it further
Resolred, That we, as Republicans, d.
most emphatically denounce w. u. Floyd
and all Of his acts, when member of tn
State Legislature, for appointing to posi-
lions in this parish, men of avowed Demo
cratic principles, and for voting for reso
luton offered by 7. g. Davidson, the Wa
Horse" Democrat of Livingston parish, t
turn certain colored Republicans out OF thu
House, among whom were Hon. F. c. An
tome, of Orleans, and Hon. j. II. Burch, o
East Baton Rouge; all of which was don
on account of their Republican principle
and color; be it further
Resolred, That we do denounce W.
Floyd, and his acts as tax collector OF TIL
parish for the years 1928, for receivin
and receipting for moneys, and then return
ing the parties as delinquents, and havin
them assessed with the penalties under tn
law; and we look upon him as being ira
tor to the party, and unworthy OF the trus
and confidence of true Republicans: an
that he is now working to disOrganize tn
Republican party of this parish, in order t
secure the election of a Democratic tickle
in November next; be it further
Resolced, That copy of these resolution
be forwarded to the New Orleans REPUI
LICAN, and to the Grand Era, Baton Rouge
for publication.
