party adopted at Baton Rouge, In 1867, and
point with pride and satisfaction to the sub
stantial and material benefits Whteh nave &C
crued to the entire people OF THIS State by
reason OF the accession OF the Denocratlc-
Conservative party to power.
Q. That the relegation OF our State govern
ment to the hands of the corrupt ring OF I'M
sCrupulous Radicals, who SO long robbed and
plundered the people OF their substance
would be calamity only to be measured by
the entire destruction of every material in
terest in Louisiana; and that the prevention
of such catastrophe we regard as the most
important issue to be determined by the peo-
pie in the coming canvass, and that we oppose
Radicalism In whatever shape 1T may present
itself
3. That we give our most cordial indorse-
ment to the present State government, Of
which Gov Francis L. Nichols Is the execu-
tive head, and in view OF the evenly balanced
state OF parties in the last Legislature, and
the difficulties by which they were envirOned,
we accord and return thanks to the Demo-
cratic members of that body for the many
measures of reform and relief they have given
to the people.
4. That while we, in common las we belieyel
with large majority of the Democrats and
Conservatives of this State, favor the calling
Of constitutional convention at the earliest
safe and practicable moment, yet we are not
prepared to commit ourselves unreservedly
to that policy In advance OF the results OF the
S. That we regard the proposed amend
ments to the present constitution, in the main
as inherently good, and refOrmatOry in their
character and worthy of the support Of the
people; but we believe that the question as to
whether they shall be adopted or rejected is
one to be determined by each individual voter
for himself, at the polls.
6. That we earnestly urge harmony and
concord at the State convention, and are
strongly opposed to any action at Baton
Rouge that will tend to create dtssentions in
the party.

as alternates, and J. d. Mcintyre, J. W. Rea-
