The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1880-07-16

Reso1usd, That the Conservative Democratic
party of FloridG 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 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-
calIy enforced; equal protection has been ex.
tended to all persons within the limits Of the State
without regard to race or color; and this benef-
cent, prudent and economical management has
Injured to the welfare and prosperity of the en-
tire people.
Resoloed That we appeal to the sober judg-
ment Of every honest and unbiased citizen of
Flosida, 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, 10
sustain us in this compaign, and with rs, BY the
complete and overwhelming success Of our can
didafes, to pat an end forever to the dangers
which menace from restoration Of the Repub-
Leans to power.
Resoloed, 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 us in
support ef selfpreservaiion.
Raaa'aad That the greatly increased influx . OF
intelligent and industrious citizens under the
present State Administration Is source Of great
4rsfiAcation. To the thousands already here, and
The thousands soon 10 follow, We extend 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.
