For the relief of the Brevet Brigadier
of the Journal, and all others whom it may
concern, we will state the fact that the
'White Boy in Blue" who indited, offer
ed and had passed the resolutions on Thurs.
day night, denouncing the charges in the
journal against the "White Boys in Blue"
as slying accusations" /" 'ungentlemanly and
beneath the dignity of true soldier" and
that the Journa. proprietors, and especial
ly the one who wrote the SANDER, deserve
the reprobation of all true soldiers and
honest men for permitting such '6ase Ebels

slandered with impunity.

lest he might otherwise say things that he

Down-Givlng UP the
Contest.

p" 4 a
"Call ye this backing your friendsf'
The Journal of Tuesday, scared at the;
unmistakable signs which foreshadow Its
defeat, now tries to back out of the Negro
Suffrage Constitutional Amendment. Hear
Fit:
"The pending amendment to the Consti-
tuition of Ohio is not, in any proper sense,
party question. True, it embodies one
of the fundamental ideas on which the Re-
publican party is based-the civil and po-
litical equality of all men: and for that
reason Republicans support It," r.5.,l
Negro Suffrage not in any proper sense
q party question? And that too after its
party friends have passed it in the Legis-
lature as party question-yoted for the
Joint resolution to submit 1t to the voters
rs a party question, and the Republican
party made it the main plank in their plat
form, and the j ournal, as party paper,
from the time the Legislature passed 1t to
the present moment, has advocated it as a
party measure. And now, within less than
five days of the election, it tries to get rid
OF its negro allies, by declaring that Me-
gro Suffrage is not proper party ques-
Ition ?'' ~ --,s -.
Over one month since, when we charged,
from evidence in our possession, that left
lus no doubt OF its truth, that secret. cir
cnlar had been issued, bearing the names
of the Chairman and Secretary of the 800
called" Union State Executive Committed.
and sent to counties in Southern Ohio, em-
bodyiDg the same assertion, and giving
notice to those that could not go Negro
Suffrage, that they might vote mo" on
the Constitutional Amendment without
losing their standing in the party, the
Journal pretended to deny it with as much
vehemence as if its editor was telling the
truth. ,, .,eYj ,f-,r.,.,.eI I'D ,a f,gi,
subsequently to this, the Committee
made denial, not of the facts we stated,
but of charge never made, that they had
given up Negro Suffrage. In sag.,T'
By the above, the Journal virtually ad-
mits, by taking the same ground, the truth
Of the existence of the secret Circular, and
it admits, at the same time, thetruth of the
fact wich the Committee denied, that the
COMMITTEES, was acting for the party, which
had given mp Negro Suffrage. ~ .z.t.
The Journal as the Republican organ
does this, and its Editor follows only where
the Chairman of the Executive Committee
leads, as a puppy follows his master. r..i
If there is an issue broadly made and
broadly discussed, and in the "proper sense
a party questions" that issue is Negro Sut-
fragel The Republicans SO made 1.-THE
Democrats accepted the issue. On their
banners and on all their Tickets. here and
everywhere throughout Ohio, is emblazon-
ed, sOn Constitutional Amendment giving
Negroes the right to vote and to hold Of
fice," most emphatic NO! so plain that
he who runs may read, and the wayfaring
man. though fool, may not err therein.
If the Journal gives up the contest just
as the mighty hosts of the Democracy are
marshaling for, the battle and the victory,
that sheet shows cowardice that ought to
drive its editor out of the companionship
of his Negro friends.
