18th Ward Radical Speeches.
What their Republication IS.

We produce elsewhere "Notes of
the nth Ward" Radical meeting, ia
ken by a Committee Of the Demo-
cratic Club of that Ward +; which our
readers will see are nothing but re-
hash Of the old lies our people have
been in the habit Of listening to from
these fellows, for the past eight years,
told on other people, and in a more
bnngling manner.
We now propose to give these fel'
lows small Gift" in public estima'
tion, and We ask particularly that
our colored people should read care
fully what we say.
LIST. Bill. Tnnnard, who now re-
snmcs to be tic true friend Of the
colored man, was the BLACKBOARD who
first irtr"du"ed the Society called the
"Knishts Of the White Camefia' in
this town, and one of the oatl's taken
by this noble ~ son, was to nerer tote
for a negro for office! This was in
1868, and in 1873, three years ago.
mind you, he wrote letter to the
Editor of the Gazette Comet, Demo
cratic paper published at that time in
East Baton Rouge, which we now
have; that che had no faith in the
honesty Of the Radicals here"-tl'at
he did not 90 with them as a matter
of choice, but simply for bread, that
he was q Democrat at heart, and a
Radical simply for pay, and he tried
t. get a situation upon that Demo.
cratic paper, in order to cut loose
from the Radical thieves here.
Bill Tunnard cannot deny this, and
| it goes to prove, conclusively, that
Tunna,d is ready to go back to the
Democrats il he could do so-tlat lie
| never was a Radical, save for con-
venience.
I'd. Breda, of whom it is useless to
say more than revert to the fact, that
he is under indictment for robbing a
poor negro Of three hundred dollars /;
| that is amply sufficient to show his
friendship, and the extent of it, for
the negro.
But of his natural talent AZ a liar,
We must all have as profound a res.
pect, As We do for his low-dung in.
stipcts and blackguardism, when he
pr"duces those documents on Tilden
and the New York State debt, for the
facts Of the case are just to the con
trary. Governor Tilden reduced the
State debt Of New York many mil.
lions since be became Governor, and
lie has reduced the taxes from $l5,
ia, 462.o8 to $s,&5.l96, and that too,
without yepudatiag forty per cent Of
it, as Kellogg did with the Louisiana
State debt.
! As far as New Orleans is concerned
that is very easily answered, by sim
ply stating the fact, that the debt o.
that city was contracted BY tho Rad;
cal party, who are perfectly and fully
responsible for the $500 tax on eacf
man, woman and child" in that city
| Breda's speech would never be
complete without that "say it louder
of his. !. 1t cheers him up to feel tha
some few negroes, at least, can be lei
by thief and a BLACKBOARD, such al
this community know him to he; and
1 il his gutta. percha conscience is mo-
too hardened, he must feel the com,
munity is about correct in their est
mate Of his character. ~
| 81. ]. G. Lewis ia 90 utterly ani
completely devoid Of character, rs II
be almost unworthy Of notice, but
since he is up, he is subject to criti
cism; and We ask his opinion Of ,
little publication elsewhere, and writ
ten by colored man, with regard t.
his sweet self. And in that conpec
ton, We beg to ask the colored peo,
/ pie, and this article is written fol
them, what should be thought Of
man who openly deserts his Lawful
wife and takes up will, o strumpet
ls that christianity Did Christ teacl
snch infamous doctrine as that =
| Still. G. Lewis has done it i; AYl
RAFoRD BLUNT, the apostle, is Twin,
an open palpaple lie every day Of hi
lifs-hy col,abiti0g with a concubine
aud deserving his lawful, christian
wife.
