The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1868-06-25

~Bro Eylsr, of the the West
Union Defender, is taken with one Of
his spells again. He abuses Hon. John
T. Wilson, aud among other things
trumps up the old lie that was refated
two years ago, that Mr.. Wilson was a
deserter from the army.
Then Bro. Eylar comes at US in this
style:
"Bro. Mackley has the braEen impu-
dence to state that his paper is the only
paper in Jackson county. There is a
paper printed in that County every way
superior to the Standard in point of ex-
cellence, called the Herald, yet, he fails,
from some lack of manlineSs or want OF
generosity to note the fact. Bro.
Mackley is not only a Radical but a
member of the M, e. Church and a
candidate for rfavors from Him who gave,
through his servant, alaw that does not
wink at or permit falsehoods under any
guise."
Now Bro. Eylar is mistaken in two
or three things in the above. We
never said that the STANDARD was the
only paper in Jackson county. There
are many others. There are the
Cincinnati Gazette, N. Y. Tribune, and
dozens of others. We said that the
STANDARD was the only paper printed in
Jackson county. We say so yet No
such paper as the Herald is printed in
this county.
Bro. Eylar is mistaken 10 saying
that we are member Of the M. K.
Church. We do not belong to that
church, and never did.
Speaking of the loyal women of Gal
lipoliS being offended at the rebel wo-
men of that place paying hcnors to
dead traitors, he says;
"This, we are sorry to say is ap-
plauded by the editor of the Jackson
Standard, as an act worthy of sanction
by all loyal hosts throughout the cOun-
try. just here there arises little mat
ter worthy of notice. The officer in
command of the ceremonies at that point
was incensei to a high degree when he
heard of the disgrace and stated that he
would not have permitted il had he been
apprised of the fact before it was COM
mitted. -
The above is not true. The "oiicer
in command Of the ceremonies" wrote
from Cincinnati that it was false, and
his letter was published In the Gallipo-
lie Journal, and Bro Eylar must have
seen it. We believe he knew the story
was not true when he wrote the above.
But that he is willing that Democracy
should be sustained by falsehOod, Wit
ness the following;
"KEEP IT Ur.-We notice that the
Gallipolis Journal and the Vinton Rec
ord are making active endeavors to have
q prophesy by DANIEL WEBSTER, re-
moved from the leader columns Of the
Pomeroy Banner and Gallipolis Dispatch,
by stating that Webster never used the
language. These statements probably
arise from an ignorance of what they
attempt to deny. Daniel Webster did
use the language accredited to him, but
not at Fanucil Hall. Our brethren will
please keep the prophesy flying from
their mastheads, as it is regular sick
ener for Radical traitors, and hence
their desire to have it removed. II,
however, they have the proof that Mr..
Webster never used the language, let
them produce it."
Now that is brilliant. Prove a neg
ative, will youi Daniel Webster new
or did say that. IL he did, when and
vherei We care very little what Dan.
iel Webster said, But there is no use
in lying, and slandering the dead.
