RADICAL REPUBLIoAN ASSOCIATION OF THE
SKyKsTH WARD-Last evening the regular
tion of the Seventh w ard was held at Turner
Hall, AZ which time there was very large
attendance, especially on the part Of the col
and DR. William Boyd secretary.
The names of about twenty five colored
persons were proposed and elected members.
DIR. BOYD said that he understood that there
were agents in the city endeayoring to per-
suade the colored TO go to Texas or some
other place South. He had thought that these
agents were In the interest of the Executive,
and their object was to influence the next
election If any celored people were inclined
TO go he would advise them to make written
contracts but II he were they he would not
go TO any place South unless the states had
ernments
DIR. Boyd spoke in regard to the Freedmen's
Bureau, saying that he made application for
relief for two ladies, and they had been in
formed that no relief could be given unless

Mr.. J. II Crane (white) asked If what had
been stated was known personally.
Dr Boyd replied that he had obtained his
Information from colored men, and that fiv
men had agreed 10 go, but failing TO make a
bargain TO suit them they backed out.
Mr.. Crane said he believed that Gen. How
ard was doing the right thing towards the col
ored people, and as he understood the action of
the Bureau they would not give clothing and
food 10 people and they be allowed 10 loaf
shout tbe city. The Bureau proposed to get
such rs are out of work employment in the
North, and ne thought II w3s right
DIT Boyd referred 10 two cases where the
parties were actually suffering and yet when
they asked relief were asked 10 go North, and
ne wished 10 know If ii was night for persons
10 be starved away from the city, and is il
right that conditions should be imposed on
black men which are not i'm posed on white
Mr. Crane said that the Bureau in his opin-
ion was dong the best 1t could, and It could
not be denied that the city was now too
crowded there are too many people for the
amount of work TO be done. If persons will
not go where they can get employment they
must suffer, be they white or black: but he
would alleviate all present wants
Rev. Anthony Bowen (colored) said he
