Third Wnrd.-At . large and enthu siastic
meeting of the Antoine Club last night the com
mittee of conference, OF which Hon. William G..
Brown is chairman, reported the result of their
conference with similar committees from other
wards, and submitted the following, which re-
ceived and adopted amid great applause:
To the Republicans of the Parish Of Orleans:
We, the committee officially representing the
respective Republican club organizations in the
parish of Orleans, in which the rights OF Repub.
icans have been wantOnly invaded and their priv.
eges trampled upon by cliques and rings of evil.
disposed and unscrupulOus pretenders to leader.
ship after cOnferring together on the best method
to be adopted for the vndcatiOn Of our rights and
the restoration aud protection of our privileges,
deem it proper at this iuncture to submit the fol-
lowing summary of our grievances exhibiting
the grounds OF our complaint and unlted.y ex:
pressing determination to preserve political
freedom and self pect, and undeterred from
purpose by the bugbear OF epithets inap-
plicaole as they are Insignificant, will not submit
to the unjust and tyrannica rule of Oficehoiders,
ring masters, schemers and piotters after place
and power, and we appea TO your sense OF justice
for support.
In the third ward we have repeatedly set forth
the cause character and extent OF our grievance;
have protested at every stage of the fraudulent
and revolutionary proceedings which have cul.
minated in our exclusion from presentation in
the body claiming 10 be the Republican Parish
Committee. We have shown that the so-calied
election of officers OF the club was grossly fraudu
lent. that the orders of the state Central Commit.
tee and the parish convention tor the settlement
of our disputes we're openly violated, and that
with settled determination to override all right
and justice we were deprived before the parish
COMMITTEES of fair and patient hearing, and with
indecent haste were robbed of our rights and de-
MED participation in the management of our ward
and parish affairs
In the fourth ward equally disgraceful proceed.
ings have driven large number of Republicans to
the attitude of defense against the increachments
of place and the power OF the patronage of the
Department Of Improvements.
The State Central Executive Committee recog.
nized the Central Club of this ward that presided
over by r. Malcolm, and the parish convention
afterward. for the settlement Of disputes pre-.
scrbed mode of adjustment at this Central Club
under specified rules. But the ring masters fla.
GRAVITY outraged every prescribed rule refused to
attend at the designated place, and refused to
select in concert the seventh commissioner, as d
rected. With an unrecOgnized assemblage, and
under the auspices OF an irresponsible committee
outside OF all regularity or party usage. a mock
headed by the Administrator Of improvements
were admitted to the parish committee. TO the ex-
cusiOn OF the delegates elected at the place and
at the time and under the forms in such cases pro-
vided.
In .he fifth ward similar denial of right has
existed. Persons not resident of the ward were
preparatory to the election, fraudulentiy regis.
tered Clubs IN peighbOrlng wards connived at
this outrage, and denied access to their rolls to
in violation Of rules. riotous conduct was pro
noted on the day OF election, obstruction of peace
able citizens was openly practiced, driving many
past the proper hour for closing In Consequence
this election was declared null and void bv two
thirds of the Central Club when it met and another
- off all n,s
the president was impeached and removed, and
successor elected Organizing bolt this depOsed
president organized pretended central Clue and
prOceeCed to the election of delegates the Parish
Committee. The committee credentials re.
ported favoraby on the admission of the regularly
elected delegates, and yet the Parish Committee
admitted the irregular delegates and excluded the
delegates representing the bulk Of the bona hdo
the forms and in the manner prescribed by the
paI ty authorities.
In the ninth ward, by s;.rreptitieus and secret
proceedings deliberately cOncOcted bv schemers
after power, no opportunity was afforded kepub-
lcans to express their choice in the selection of
officers OF the Central Club at its recent election
and by the continuance OF the preparation of
outrages, violent rulings and grossly partisan
conduct, the will of the majority Of the Repub.
lican voters in the ninth ward respected
and can not be expressed, and this majority rep
resented by the undersigned, have organized a
in defense OF their rights and expression of their
choice of representatives.
IL the tenth ward. by series of frauds the
hands of its legal president, HIS assassination at
tempted and the conduct of the agents of the |
riDgmasters and cllques to the Reorganization and
confusion OF the true Republicans in the ward has
been approved by the admission OF delegates Sc
lected By them TO the parish committee. This |
condition of things we viii not submit 10 and We |
therefore unite the lauable effort to secure by
cooperation with Others agsrieved that redress of
our wrongs which orr case demands |
Now, therefore, the evidence being conclusive
that the ring masters bedizened by the power to
coerce the unquestonlng acq'iiescence of depend
ents in measures OF wrong cAlloLs to ali SENSE OF
the gross INJUSTICE they are INJECTING and reckless
of the consequences of their tyrannical conduct |
are incapable of listening to any appeal for fair
pay it is useless tor US to look to such redress
We, there fore, repuciAt all recognition OF any
pretended authoritative utterance emanatng from
pseudo representatives of our wards, and while |
cordially renewing our tim adherence to the prln-
pies OF our party, national and State, and our full
purpose 10 support the Republican State and par.
reserve our political freedom to select and vote
only for such men IN our wards deem honest
and competent, and who really represent Is.
Conscious of the Tectitude of our conduct and
the integrity OF our cause and cheerfully anticl-
pating popular approval, we declare that while
willing to effect any honorable adjustment of our
disputes We will yield 10 no disgraceiy.l colces.
