The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1880-07-30

ReSOlCed, That the Conservative Democratic
party of Florida congratulate the people of the
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 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 ngidly 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 benefi-
cent, prudent and economical management has
Injured 10 the welfare and prosperity of the en-
tire people.
R6soEoed, That we appeal to the sober judg-
ment of every honest and unbiased citizen of
Florida, of whatever political afinities, 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 our midst who values the blessings
of Just, faithful and prudent government, to
sustain us in this compaign and with US, by the
complete and overwhelming success OF our can
didates TO put an end forever TO the dangers
which menace from restoration OF the Repub-
licans TO power.
Ies0iced 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 dissensiops of the past,
we appeal to the intelligent and honest voters OF
all parties and races to join hands with us in
support of selfpreservatiou.
Hesolced, That the greatly increased influx of
intelligent and industrious citizens under the
present State Administration is source OF great
qualification. To the thousands already here, and
the thousands soon to follow, we extend cor
dial welcome regardless Of party, and pledge the
State Administration, If continued under Con-
seryative control, to renewed efforts TO increase
the tide Of immigration.
Resolced, That the Conservative Democratic
party OF Florida reaffirm their acceptance Of the
legitimate issues of the war. To AL men 10 our
midst, white and black, we pledge the fullest
possible protection In the exercise OF their civil
and political rights; recognizing fully and sus-
tanning that fundamental law OF the State which
gives to any citizen the right to vote - be pieases
and to utter and publish his sentiments undis-
turbed by menace Of violence and threats OF dis
franchisement, and 90 recognizing and sustaining
this right, we denounce and arTaign the Repuo-
Iican party for its systematic appcals 70 mob vo-
Ience over the colored people OF this State, and
for the systematic terrorism over them Yhich
has been q regular appliance Of its political ma
chinery. We pledge ourselves TO proseci every
citizen in the exercise Of his rights against all
lawlessuess. to the fullest possible extent.

qualified language the frauds in elections winch
