The Erquircr VS.. the Western Christian
Advocate.

Soon after the late election in Cincinnati
the Western Christian Adro:ate, the organ Of
the Methodist Church, gave Its readers
statement Of the facts connected with the RI
o., ss they appeared TO the editor. Not hav-
ing the capacity to see things through the
Mr., .rted and iaundced medium OF rank
Locolucu Sag Nicht pa tsan, this statement
did n, suit the editor of the Cincinnati En-
aulrer, who proceeded 10 take the Rev. Mr..
Etru,Tr. the editor of the AdvOcdte, to task.
Instead ot giving the facts us it undsrstoo
them, the Eaquirer at once launched forth
into the most violent personal abuse OF Mr..
Elliott. He was accuse of be1ng"a dePra'
we'd and degraded Nothing" he was
CHARGED with having basely iibeied the elec'
ton Judges Of the lih Ward, Ne.
To these charges the Rev. DIR. Elliot re-
niles at some length. He says he is not
member OF the Order, and could not be, as
he was SO unfortunate ns to be born out OF
the United States. After meeting the char
res in IL le uucrate and Christian sp1rit and
sustaining his iolmer assertions, the editor OF
the Advocate concludes his reply as io'lo"s'
1t confirms words OF truth and so0erness' mat
are worthy OF serious consideration on the
mart OF every good citizen:
In conclusion, the rrue state Of the ques-
