weary, and were in just want Of aid and -.
sistanceAnd the writer Of this went to the
Everett 0euss and infosned him olthe co.,
dsjon Of De aoldiefs and ~ promised 9th
fully be would come and attend to their
wants. This was on Mosdsy, Nay let, and
he promised be would be up On Monday eve
ming OF Tuesday morning. Evening and
morning came but no Governor Stone. and
our boys suffered Tor the wsnt Of comforts.
On Tuesday, about two o'clock, We met
Weston Flint Of Ohio, agent for Ohio troops
ADD informed him Of the condition Of said
Iowa soldiers, and he said he would aid 10
oil he could, and zee to getting clothes for
the Iowa soldiers. So We went to the Pres
idcut Of the Christian conmission in the
| city and stated to him the condition Of the
Iowa boys.
The President said If such waa the case,
be would furnish al the clothing We wanted
II we would make out requisition on him
for Aucirarticlcs ~ he had SO that he could
show the Christian commission what be
came Of the goods. Weston Flint called ON
the Governor on Tuesday evening, the I'd
and told the Governor he vas neglecting his
boys and should take better care Of them.
But the Governor politely informed Mr..
\ Flint that be was capable Of attending 70
his own business, IL Flint would his. Now,
because VIC are opposed to Stone, and the
party in this county approves Of our course
wc are thus treated by the Gazytte. ut is
quite plain that if the Democrats were As
strong ~ the Republicans, the journal
would not bs found in the reckoning Of the
Union party" II We are TO b. read cut Of
tho Republican party for opposing Bill
Stone, it must be done by better calibse than
the editor Of the Gozette. We intend to
support the Republican nominations with
the exception Of Bill Stone and We will not
support him. There are hundreds Of SOL
diers Of the same opinion, and belong to the
Republican party. Because VIC will not
support an incumbent Governor, we are
charged with afliliating with Democrats.
No one but a weak addle- Drained man
like the editor Of the Gozette, would make
such charges against US. You may howl,
whine, snort and yell against Us III you can
and call 10 what you wish, read us out Of
the party, and still We will ten you we will
not insult the good comment sense Of oil
good men and brave boys in blue by sup-
porting Tor Gubcrnatoriai honOrs one who,
ia our opinion, is both incompetent and 4
charlatan, unless he should be choice be-
tween two evils-then We will take the
least.-Cldyton Go. Jour. Of I'd inst.
