ADDRESS
TO
THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA.

Rooms STATE CENTRAL. CON-
BATON RoUGE,
Sept. 3, 1884.
On the 2Est ult.- the Democratic
State Central Committee adopted
resolution requesting the Presidents
and the Executive Committees Of
the various Parishes to proceed to
the organization of Cleveland and
Hendricks clubs, to the end that
the entire forces Of the Democracy
Of this State-assisted by all other
citizens who feel that the triumph
of Cleveland and Hendricks means
return of the halcyon days of hon
est government, as contemplated by
the trainers of the Constitution.
may, in solid array, march to the
polls on the day of election and ex-
press their condemnation of the de-
cision of the Electoral Commission,
whereby the vote Of this State cast
for Tildren and Hendricks, despite
the interference Of United States
Marshalfs at the polls, backed by
Federal troops, was, in utter disre-
gard of the most sacred rights OF
the people of Louisiana and of the
Union, accorded to Rutherford B.
Hayes, who, although signally de-
feated, audaciously occupied the
Presidential chair, to which the
voice of the American people had
called the venerable and disinter-
ested patriot, Samuel J. Tilden,
whose mantle has fallen upon the
shoulders Of his fearless emulator in
the administration of good govern
meut in the State of New York
Unlike the Republican party, who
base their hopes Of victory upon the
votes to be purchased with the
money wrung from it's army of Of
flee holders, and with the contribu-
tons of the monopolies it has fos-
tered, the Democratic party relies
for success upon the patriotism Of
the masses Of the people, and the
watchful activity Of their chosen
leaders, whose plain duty it is, at
J" this moment, to demonstrate by the
interest they will manifest in the
campaign that the positions with
which they have been honored by
their party, have not been bestowed
upon men who have no concern
about the triumph Of the Democra-
: tic party in. the Union and the hap
piness of the people. Furthermore,
in this connection, | have no hest
fancy in saying that, in future the
people, in bestowing their favors.
/, should see that they are extended
to those who not only possess the
prerequisites of honesty and capac
ity, but who have, also, unmindfu
of the result, performed meritorious
; service in this battle of the people
}, foY Cleveland and Hendricks anc

blended with miseries, wrongs ant
profigacies without parallel in thu

putes have no place in this contest
