The New Orleans Republican (1867-1878) was a Republican Party newspaper in New Orleans.[1] It covered political meetings, ran editorials, and included legislative texts and speeches.[1]
Generals Benjamin Butler and Nathaniel Banks who commanded the federal occupation in New Orleans during Reconstruction wrote a letter vouching for the loyalties of the paper and its owner, S. L. Brown. Michael Hahn acquired it and it supported the political activities of the state's Republican Party. William R. Fish became its main editor in 1872 and was joined a year later by Thomas G. Tracy.[1] Fish was a probate clerk. His nephew Selby Fish was shot twice and beaten in an attack on a Republican Party meeting in New Orleans[2] Fish had been a schoolmaster and also worked as a lawyer. He also edited Hahn's True Delta newspaper. He was a Constitutional Unionist and an associate of Hahn's. Fish served as state printer. [3]
The paper included legal notices, city ordinances, coverage of New Orleans city council meetings, letters from correspondents in other states and abroad, news briefs from around the state, economic and business reports, advertisements, entertainment including at the New Orleans opera, public sales and auctions by the U. S. Marshal service resulting from the seizure of contraband liquor and trading vessels.[1]
Nathaniel Burbank wrote for it.[citation needed]
Northern political commentator David Ross Locke's Petroleum V. Nasby fictional character appeared in the paper. The paper described a volunteer fire brigade scene that was painted.
The last issue was distributed on November 10, 1878.[1]
