The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1880-10-01

ResO1ued, 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 government
which has faithfully fulfilled all the promises
made to them in 1876. 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 eneTgeti-
cally enforced: equal protection has been ex-
tended all persons within the limits of the State
without regard to race color and this beued-
cent, prudent and economical management has
Injured to the welfare and prosperity of the en-
tire people.

ment of every honest and unbiased citizen Of
Florida, Of whatever political Abilities, In the
contrast presented by the past three years OF
Democratic rule with the previous eight years of
Republican rule. We appeal with confidence to
every man in midst who values the blessings
Of just, faithful and prudent government, 10

complete and overwhelming success OF our can
didates, TO put an end forever TO the dangers
which menace from a restoration of the Repub-
licans to power.
ResOtred, That the preservation Of good order,
honest expenditure OF public funds. reduction Of
taxation, and the continued progress Of material
prosperity, present issues paramount TO all mere
questions OF party; therefore, discArding the
dead issues and party dissensions Of the past.
we appeal TO the intelligent and honest voters Of
all parties end races to join hands with as in
support of selfpreservation. ia&
Resoiced, That the greatly increased iH1ux Of
intelligent and industrious citizens under the
present State Administration is q source of great
qualification. To the thousands already here, and
the thousands soon TO follow, we extend o cor
dial welcome regardless of party, and pledge the
State Administration, If continued under COn-
servaIive control, to renewed efforts to increase
the tide of immigration.

tanning that fundamental law Of the State which
gives any citizen the right 10 vote q he peases,
and to utter and publish bis sentiments un0le-
Iurbed BY menace OF violence and threats OF as
franchisement, and 60 recognizing and sustaining
this right, we denounce and agraign the kepup
Ican party for It's systematic appeals 10 mob yio-
lence over the coIored people Of this State, and
for the systematic terrorism over them which

chinery. We pledge ourselves 10 psosect every
