We clip tho shove from the Joundl Of
this morning. The editor Of that paper
takes pains TO deny tho truth Of the story.
Pretty good; The organ ofsosEScE has
to assure the people that the leaders Of lie
party are all right And Il Is not quite SO
sure amer all
The fact Is. there IA a county ticket to
elect IN which these la,ogers are all Inter-
Gated. They pdnt RspublicGn Sheriff. DO
YOU bite, boysS They don't care snap for
SoHENCK, with the single exception Of
JoHE @. Lowe, ESQ., who Is fast friend
because ScHKScK denounced HAYNES,
YouNG, CRAioBEAD, MuSaER and HowARD
for not going for him.
These mon do not and will not humilate
themselves so low as TO support dr6e'tlythe
man spHENcK who abused aud denounced
all the HAYNEs men, AND WHO SCRATCHED
WARnEN MuNGER ESQ., LAST FALL and pro-
cured others TO scratch hitn because he was
honorable enough to stand by his word.
Now we say to the public thatit Is utter
ly untrue that these men are arisntlv sup

DAYTON, January 10, 1866.
To Judge from the editorials of the Day
ton .journai, the Third Congressional Dis
trict is unit in favor OF Sehenck for
United States Senator. This Is not so.
Our editor. very clever gentleman, II Is
true, is badly afflicted with ,Schepck on the
brain; but when you count him and half Il
dozen ambitious young gentlemen, who
look for the Congressional mantle to fall
upon their shoulders when Schenck as

The truth is the mass of the people see
no reason why JohE sherman should give
place to Scbenck. He was an able leader
In the Republican movement when Schcnck
was absolutely opposed to It, II will not
do for men who were not Republicans
when John Sherman was denounced by the
South as an Abolitionist for being a Re-
publican. TO question his orthodoxy.
But it is said that Schenck. from the be-
ginning, was sound, but that he knew
Fremont 10 be an impostor; and this IL
given rs a reason why he did not Join in
the Republican movement at first. That
excuse will not be taken. .-

than the rest Of us.
