The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1880-11-02

Resotued, That the Conservative Democratic
party of Florida congratulate the people of the
State on the favorable auspices under which
they have assembled. For more than three
years they have been blessed with Q government
which has faithfully fulfilled all the promises
made to them in 1875. The onerous tax under
which the people suffered has given place to q
moderate rate of assessment, absolutely neces-
sary to an economical administration of govern
ment; the laws have been rigidly and energeti-
cally enforced; equal protection has been ex-
tended to all persons within the limits of the State,
without regard to race or color and this bened-
cent, prudent and economical management has
Injured 70 the welfare and prosperity of the en-
tire people.

nent of every honest and unbiased citizen of
Florida, Of whatever political af1nities, In the
contrast presented by the past three years of
Democratic rule with the previous eight years of

complete and overwhelming success Of our can

which menace from restoration of the Repub-
licans to power

honest expenditure Of public funds, reduction Of
