The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1880-10-05

Res0tred, That the Conservative Democratic
party of Florida congratulate the people of the
State on tile 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 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 benef
cent, prudent and economical management has
Injured to tile welfare and prosperity of the en-
tire people.
Resoleed, That we appeal to the sober judg
ment of every honest and unbiased citizen oi
Florida, of whatever political affinities, in the
contrast presented by the past three years Of
Democratic rule with the previous eight years Oi
Republican rule. We appeal with confidence t0
every man IN our midst who values the blessings
OF a 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-
lcans to power.
Resolced That the preservation of good order
honest expenditure OF public funds, reduction Oi
taxation, and the continued progress Of material
prosperity, present issues paramount to all mere
dead issues and party dissensi0ns OF the past
we appeal 10 the intelligent and honest voters oi
all parties and races to join hands with Us In
support of selfpreservation.
Resolred That the greatly increased infiux oi
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-
servative control, to renewed efforts to increase
the tide of immigration.
ResOlued. That the Conservative Democratic
party of Florida reafirm their acceptance Of the
legitimate issues of the war To all men in ouI
midst, white and black, we pledge the fullest
possible protection In the exercise OF their civil
and political rights; recognizing fally and sus
tanning that fundamental law Of the State which
gives to any citizen the right to vote a. ne pleAses
and TO utter and publish his eentimGnfs un01S
iurbed by menace Of violence and threats OF dis
franchisenent, and so recognizing and sustaining
this right we denounce and arr1ign the hepu6'
ican party for its systematic appeals 70 mob yio
lence over the colored people OF this State, and
for the systematic terrorism over them which
has been regular appliance OF its political ms
chinery. We pledge ourselves to protect ever
citizen in the exercise Of his rights against al
Iawlessness. to the fullest possible extent.

partv of Florida condemn and denounce In IN
qualified language the frauds IN eiccuOn2, WDtcA
