ResOtucd, 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-
caly enforced; equal protection has been ex-
tended to all persons within the limits Of the State
without regard to race or color and this bene6
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

which menace from q restoration of the Repub-
icans to power.

honest expenditure OF public funds, reduction OF
taxation, and the continued progress Of material
prosperity, present issues paramount to all mere

dead issues and party dissensions Of the past,
we appeal to the intelligent and honest voters OF
al parties end races to join hands with us in
support Of seifpreservA,ion
Rao1ocd, That the greatly increased influx OF
intelligent and industrious citizens under the
present State Administration is q source Of great
9ratincation To the thousands already here, and
the thousands soon to follow, we extend Q cor
dial welcome regardless Of party, and pledge the
State Administration, II continued under Con-
sefvafive control, to renewed efforts TO increase
the tide Of immigration.
