bic symptoms of having been touched On
the raw by last weeks Pilot Mr.. F1rcH
having been convicted of petty meanness
and other small peccadillos, he twists and
squirms like an angle worm. But he is
one of those men who, when convicted of
one falsehood, does not retract or repent,
but flies off and puts his battery upon an
other foundation, which foundation is al
ways upon a lie. For instance, he does
not deny that Mr.. BACH received 500
Democratic bogus tickets from the Herald
office, but the cunning fellow attempts to
lay the blame on the head of one of lis of
fee ooys. Now, every respectable man will
say that this trick of putting blame upon
an innocent boy, is, to say the least, small
business, coming from a man who was
smart enough to swindle the School Fund
out of $400 Take his own evidence, and
Mr.. FIrcH is convicted of making his Office
the depot for printing tickets in order to
chsat Democrats, and defeat the Democrat
ic nominees. We have no hesitation in
saying that the Jury is agreed on that
point.
We have not room to follow up all the
falsehoods of the Herald, but we will en-
deavor to notice some of the prominent
ones. Mr.. FlTCH acknowledges that the
statement in last weeks Herald, wherein
we were charged with assisting in the de-
feat of HAMILTON at Two Rivers, was an
true. Well, we give him long credit
mark for once acknowledging his error.
Mr.. FITcH charges US with holding Office
while we have been publishing papers in
this State, and intimates that we gave up
the Menasha Adoocate and allowed Re-
publican paper to spring up in its place
This charge is false in every Particular
The editor of the Pilot was associate writer
for Democratic papers in Wisconsin long
before Mr.. FIrCH saw Lake Michigan, and
he gave his services to his party without
fee or reward therefor. 1t would be a con-
ISOLATION for Mr.. FITCH in his old DAYS il
he could say the same with truth. The
Oshkosh Courier was established by the
editor Of the Pilot in 1852, and is now, as
it was then, an able advocate of Democrat
ic principles; and although it has not re-
ceived one cent of public patronage in pro-
portion to Mr., FTCH's thousands Of dol
lars, yet the Courier would today, in point
Of neatness and ability. put the blush of
shame on the editor of the Herald.
The Menasha A1yocate was established
by us also, and we maintained it four years
without one dollar of puolic patronage
We sold the establishment for the mere
yalue Of the materials, and we resigned the
office Of p. NJ. in that village IN ttauor Of the
purchaser, on the candition that lie would
carry on the paper until the close of the
election and the paper acas CARRIED on
for months after we reliuquished the pro-
prietorship. The statement of the Herald
that we witnessed the establishment OF
Republican paper in its place" is false,
and we call upon Mr.. FTcH to establish

The Herald does not deny that its editor
