rn,.. September II, 1876.
In accordance with the resolution of the
Parish Republican Executive COMMITTEES.
puollshed IN your issue of the twelfth in
slant, . convention of the Republican
party OF the parish was held this day. at
the old courthouse.
A number of citizens, voters of both par
Ties, were present to witness the proceed
ings. Several speeches were made, which
were well received. Harmony and good
will prevailed throughout, and you can put
down the parish of st. Bernard for q peace
able election and triumphant Republican
next.
Arrangements will be entered into for q
Joint canvass Of the parish. This will be
the means of having the issues of the cam
Pstgn morally and intelligently discussed
before the public, after which the voters
will be more competent to decide between
the parties soliciting their support. It will
also prevent violent and vulgar appeals to
the prejudices and feelings OF one side or
the other. We propose to win, and defend
orr party with truth and reason, and not
Islander and falsehood.
