Mr. KOrsPccht's Speech.
EDITORS APPEAL-In yesterday Herald S
report of Mr. Koltcecht's speech, made In
the first ward, he peaks of his not being a
Radical, and that his sympathies were, dur
ing the war, with The southern people, and
alluded to how much money he had given IN
their aid, and also how much he had devoted
of his influence and time III getting them out
of prison from unjust arrests; also, while a
member of the school board, how he had
aided in the promotion of the education of
his hearers children. Let US look at the past
in his history. Only about two years ago he
stated IN substance, IN the school
board, that white people were throw
employed colored teachers. Colored people
do not forget this! Southern people, peruse
this question, When President Hayes was
inaugurated. did not Mr.. Kortrecht solicit his
Republican friends to sign ii letter OF memo
rial to President HAYES, protesting against
the selection of Mr. Key to be appointed as Il
member of his cabinet? Did this look like a
friendly feeling to you? In the speech re-
ported, he attacked without excuse the char
acter of man whose honesty no one ques-
tions, as beng defaulter to the county.
When that gentleman was an official, he was
logged and followed almost daily by the
friends of Mr. Kortrecht for money and aid
in carrying on their canvass against opposing
parties, and such feelings in stump speeches
las reported) shows marked want OF graft
tude. CONSERVATIVE.
