The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1880-07-27

Res0tUed, 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 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-
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 the welfare and prosperity Of the en-
tire people
ResDs0ed, That we appeal to the sober judg-
ment of every honest and unbiased citizen of
Florida, of whatever political af1nities, 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 US, by the
complete and overwhelming success Of our can
didates, 10 put an end forever TO the dangers
which menace from q restoration Of the Repub-
licans to power
Res0lOed, That the preservation Of good order,
honest expenditure OF public funds, reduction of
prosperity, present issues paramount TO all mere
questions Of party; therefore, discarding the
dead issues and party disseusions of the past,
We appeal TO the intelligent and honest voters of
all parties and races to join hands with rs in
support Of seifpreservation.
Resoleed, That the greatly increased influx 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 Q cor
dial welcome regardless Of party, and pledge the
State Administration, II continued under Con-
a. - 80 a.. S~<w
the tde Of immigration.
ResO1ssd, That the Conservative Democratic
party Of Florida reafirm their acceptance Of the
legitimate issues Of the war. To all men In our
midst, white and black, we pledge the fullest
possible protection in the exercise Of their civil
tanning that fundamental law Of The State which
gives 70 any citizen the right to vote - hepleases
and to utter and publish his sentiments undis-
tufbed by menace Of vi0lence and threats Of dis
fFlnchisemeuf, and 20 recognizing and sustaining
this right, We denounce and anaign the Repub-
lican party for is systematic appeale % mob vio-
lence over the colored people or this State, and
fof the sysiemafic tenoFis1 over them which
has been regular appliance Of In political mar
chinefy. We pledge ourselves 10 protect every
citize3 in the excrcise of his rights against all
laWlessnea, 10 the fuIleA possible extent
