Mr. iBreaZeale's Charges.
POSr (Shreveport Times.)
I The Times had oped1 that the
Nsoi. fourth district congrressional cam
i paign would be one utterly de
ltor. void of unpleasant features ; that
sheV it would be kept up on that high
plane of discussion . upon which
. gentlemen could meet and settle
their differences without indulging
- in charges and counter char<rges.
898. or descending to th? low plane of
personal vituplera:tion. But it
"" " seems this was not to be, and as
(t in far as the Times can learn the fault
3,1. rests entirely with Mr. Phanor
Breazeale and his over zealous
KeS friends, who seems to think that
1nce the only hope of success for Mr.
thor Breazeale was to attack Mr. Suth
itv erlin's character and, if possible,
tear it to pieces bit by bit. That
g Js Judge Sutherlin will prove invul
S nerable to these attacks will ap
pear when all the facts are known,
and this election shall have been
decided one way or the other.
[irst Judge zutherlin will come out of
)it- it all unscathed, victorious and
linn with a record more brilliant than
rt, ever.
cdi- Judge Sultherlin's record as a
man, citizen, politician and official
is one of which no man need be
Im- ashamed, and previous to this can
rth vass we have never heard of its 1
.ild having been iAssailed or questioned t
igh' in any way. So when his fellow I
but citizens of DeSoto determined to
den call him out as a candidate for con- a
ply dress the Times had not the least a
ntil hesitation in espousing his cause, t
I of believing him to be as good a man c
for the place as the district afford- s
ed. The Times indorsed the call, a
and indicated that it would support s
the judge, a fact which must have Ii
hat escaped the attention 6f Breazeale d
the and his friends. It being early the o
tna Times did not take tp campaign d
at- work immediately, and so it hap- a;
- pened when Mr. Breazeale decided cl
P: to enter the lists, he sent one of t(
W* his trusted friends, Mr. John M. tl
CY Tneker of Natchitoches, to Shreve- tc
te port to look after his interests. he
y' One of the earliest, or very early r(
ng things Mr. Tacker did was to call tt
er- on the manager of the 'limes to P
hsee if he could not "secure" the at
n- influence of the Times for his I
le- friend, taking occasion to say that o0
nd Mr. Breazeale was a man of means, si
IX- and could put up whatever money bh
en might be necessary, or words to m
id that elect. Mr. Tucker was told
that the Times had determined to M
support Mr. Sutherlin, and had m
at l]ready so stated in its columns. m
CY The Times charges without fear of Im
e. tradietion that Mr. Tucker's M
er visit w for the purpose of trying w,
Y to seeure its influence for Mr. Brea- so
t' zie for a moneyed consideratiton, m
r adtlhat he did not succeed was hi
a nofattlt of eithet Mr. Tucker or e0
Mb r. Broazealeo. se
'When Mr. Tucker sfound that fi
the object dof his visit was a failure ,"

worthy of attention is that Judge.
Sutherlin had never, previous to
his announcement as a candidate
for coniress, declared himself up
the on the money question This is
:am- false and its falsity can lbe easily
deo- prven. Mr. Sutherlin was in
ti-ht dorsed as a delegate to the Chica.go
high convention by thie parish demno
hich cratic convention of D)eSoto, and
ttle the resolutions stronely favorin,
ring free silver which were passed on
res. that occasion were dra vn 'l yl) )
e of Judge Sutherlin. If Mr. Bren
it zeale is as utterly careless with
rl as facts as he has shown himself to
ault be in this instance he is utterly
Lnor unreliable.
ous One would suppose that a man
that who is so free in making charges
Mr. against others would he careful of
ith- his own reputation. But this dtoes
1l,, not seem to be the case with Mr.
'hat Breazeale, else he would long ago
rul- have |paid an honest debt which he
ap- owes the Times, and for which nu
wn, merons bills have been sent him.
een He was a su')scriber to the daily
icr. Times from May 1, 1887, to No
of venmber 1, 1890, three years and
and six months, for which he owes the
lnn sum of $35. Several times during
the term the present management
s a personally made out bills and mail
eial ed to him asking settlement, stat
be ing that suspension would ensue if
an- not paid. No response was ever
its received, so on November 1, 1890,
ed the paper was discontinued by the
ow present manager.
to Bills were mailed him afterward,
on- and still no ;response. When he
ast announced for congress, thinking
se, the gentleman would lay some
an claim to honesty, the management
rd- sent him another bill, calling his
all, attention to the old account, and I
)rt stated though it was legally out
ve lawed it was an honest and just
ale debt, which had been probably 1
he overlooked, and he would now, no
gn doubt, liquidate. 1Mr. Breazeale
ap- answered, andt stated that he would d
ed call and see about it when he came t
of to Shreveport. ' hen he did come
I. the management had to call his at- e
"e- tention to the matter again, when d
ts. he said he had no recollection of
ly receiving the Times or owing any- a
ill thing. The manager told him,
to plainly, that he did owe the money,
he and cited the fact that he had mail
dis ed him the statement of account s
at on various accasions, and had per
Is, sunnly suspenloed the paper, Then "
hy he again promised to look into the ci
to matter as soon as he went home. C(
id Several weeks passed and, though
to Mr. Breazeale and the manager w
id met numbers, of times he never
8. mentioned the matter. They again !i
of met at the Couishatta barbecue, and iZ
s Mr. Breazeale's defective memory '
Ig was again refreshed, and again be 1
a solemnly promised to give the
n, matter his immediate attention on
a his return home. This has been t
>r several weeks, and his promise t
seems to be just as good as when p
first aiten. He has deliberately Ca
e swindled the Times out of $35 ,
Swhich has been due for nearly 3
t. eight years, after every effort, ex
A cept through the law, has been w
t made to collect, it. bl
S When Mr. Phanor Breazealem
said that the Times had sold its ca
editorial columns to Judge Sother- sit
Sulin for the sum of $1000, or any su
Sother sum, and that he had the an
i. proof of it, he uttered a deliberate Iu
t falsehood, and had it hurled in his
Steeth last night by both Judge 'a
SSutherlin and the Times manage
twent. ,When he said 'that Judge sa;
"Sutherlih had never announced ho
Shimself as a frimend of silver until pe
She became a congressional candi
o date, he falsifitd the record, and ca
must have known it. When he hii
refuises to pay his honest debts he thi
brands himself ii swindler. A man ca'
who would beat a newspaper out set
-of his subscription dues, and then al
jhave the immacrulate gall to run Po
for icongress in the same state or -1
distriot, is a nice looklng specimen, 15
indeed. The idcia of such a man thi
putting himself 1up against such an the
honorable, high-toned gentleman cOt
as Judge EdgariW. Sutherlin. It ple
is supremely ridiculous! ent

sily
in- To t.io Indlependen~t \Vt)i('` of
a.o the Id Rhail oad C'umc i "ission I)is
ano- trict of the Stato o)f Louisiaiina
and I avail myself of this method of
ino, nmakin(r known to( you th:it I :a`1
on a candildate for the office of Raiil
y)v Road Commissioner for the ,,d
e:a- Railroad Cominission District. I
ith am not disq lulitfiotl to hold saiit of
Sto flee by any of tile provisions of
rly the constitution creating said com
mnssion. The delegates who frait
a ln e our present constitution andI
ges provided for the railroad commis
of sion, actedl nobly and mlagnani
oes mously in disqualifying themselves
Ir. to become members of said coin
tpo mission until after 190s. The
he railrMid commission can he of
q(. great benefit to the masses of our
im. people, if it can he composed of
nily men well qualified and capable of
S( discharging and performing all the
nd duties required of the commission,
the and who are fully identified with
ng the interest and welfare of the
mt people of our State; men who are
iil- irreproachable of briberv or c.r
at- ruption by any politic:! or pecu
if niary consideration. To ihe capa
ror ble of discharging the duties of a
)0, railroad commnission(r pIroperly~;
he he must he a man not tied iown,
head and foot, body and soul, to
( any political orgranization. It is a
he non-political office, and:i one cret(,
tted for the benefit of the )(peoptle at
n t large, and not to promo(t the ii
nt terest of any political party.
As legislative and exei:ltive
i powers are vested in the railroad
l- commission, a commissioner should
st have large anti varied experience
in law making and in executing
and enforcing the laws. I have
le had much experience in all these
Sdepartments. I prosecuted viola
1e tors of the law for 7 years as dis
10 trict attorney. I expounded and
(. enforced the laws for 15 years as
district judge. I was a law maker
for many years as a representative
and State senator in the legisla
ture of Louisiana, besides having
been a delegate in seveirl constitu
tional conventions. I flatter my
it self that the good people of the
3rd rail road commission district
n will consider me qualified to dis
e charge the duties of a railroad
commissioner.
I am fully identified In interest
r with the people. What I have,
or ever expect to have, is in Lou
islana. I have been a resident cit- C
d izen of the State for more than 50
V years. From present appearances,
e promise to live as long as Moses
e did--120 years. Unfortunately, 1 o
am not as vigorous as he was at o
the time of 'his (loarh, but any ni
e statement to the contrary, I am
a physically and mentatlly able an,.
Scapable to perform the duties of a
railroad commissioner for many
y ears yet.
With these statements (someo.
2 what self-laudatory, as I had to
blow my own horn,) I launch my
a my barque and announce myself a
s candidate for IRail Road Commis-.
- sioner for the, 3d railroad commis
rsion district, and solicit the vote a
Sand support of every candid and m
unprejudiced voter in said district. $
W nhile I run as an independent u
,candidate, untrammeled by any
rings or cliques, en passant, will
say, no man, high nor low, rich
ior poor, is independent of the
people with whom he lives.
While no political convention
can qualify a man by nominating
him for office, I will say that when
the delegates meet to nominate a
candidates for congress to repre
sent the 4th and 5th congression. Oa
al districts--whether Democratic, ha
Populist or Republican conventions
-as the office I am a candidate for t
is purely non-political, if they
think I would be the "ri'ht man in
the right place" for a railroad
commissioner, I would be much
pleased and gratified to have their
endorsements.
I am, very respectfully,
