To PUBLISH THAT SUPPRESsED
DISPATCH.
We have always admired that beauti-
ful allegory that personifes Truth and
Error (falsehood) and that has come down
from remote antiquity. The symbolic tale
is, that, in the morning of time, mankind
we're generally arden. .votaries Of Truth,
that Error finding her pewer rapidly CT
the wane proposed to Truth that they
should travel over the earth together and
present themselves in their own proper
persons to the gaze of humanity and thus
give to each individual the opportunity of
choosing understandingly. They accor-
DINGHY proceeded on their journey, and
each clad in her own proper habit, exhib-
tied themselves tomankind who, Of course,
one and all promptly took the side of
Truth, and Stunned Error with her evil
consequences. Error soon perceived the
way matters were going and resolved to
change her tactics. One day In their
travels. when it was hot and dusty, flor
they iourneyed not by railway but on foot)
they came to clear and impid stream
when Error proposed bath to which her
companion Immediately assented. Truth
at once disrobed herself and plunged IN
Error on the alert, seized Immediately
the garments of Truth and quickly fitting
them upon her person ran away as fast as
she could go.
Ever since, Error (falsehood) has been
travelling up and down the earth clad in
the beautiful apparel of Truth, and pass
ing for Truth herself. BY this means have
the worshippers of Error become so nu-
merous and powerful among men; and
Truth, presenting no attractive or allur-
ing garb, passes by unheeded or despised.
Error, in her efforts to deluds mankind
assumes numerous aliases At one time
she claims to be a christian and presents
herself with hypocritical E1eekness and
pretended piety. At another claiming to
be q patriot and friend of liberty she
talks accordingly. but acts on the side of
despotism and robbery. Pretending to be
the friend of oil that is good and righteous
she nevertheless is constantly stirring up
striGe and encouraging evil. Happy are
they who embrace Truth and avoid the
paths Of error.
We fear our Reighbors of the Rep &
Rep are devoted followers OF Error. We
have been calling upon them to correct
the falsehood they were so busy in circu-
iating before the election. They and their
co-radical leaders falsely charged that the
railway company furnished the Democra-
cy of Stark county with money and had
the Hon. ]. living Brooks, of Salem,
travelling over this county as their agent
in that business. State Senator Wales
claimed III was the special object of rail
way wrath and hostility HE was to be
slaughtered. When Mr.. Brooks heard of
the unfounded and unwarranted state
ments made in the Rep. & Rep and by
Mr. Wales & Co. he promptly telegraphed
the editor Of the Rep & Rap denying it
emphatically and declaring he was an ar
dent Republican as he ever had been, and
was willing TO do service on the stump in
Stark county to help elect the radical tick
et This dispatch was suppressed. Mr..
Brooks was not invited to take the stump
The lie was repeated and re-repeated and
had its effect along with the corrupt rse
of radical money to carry the county in
part, with only l04 majority on Governor
We know whereof we speak. We have
published the suppressed dispatch, but the
Rep & Rep still refuses to give it pubhci-
ity. Of course by so doing the Rep folks
would publish their own shame and also
convict their radical stumpers of lying.
In their last issue they devote few
lines to the subjectin jocose sort of man
ner. A "goak" is we'll enough, in its
place; but we assure our neighoors that
"facts are stubborn things" and are not
SO easily disposed of Public plunder"
is the only bond of union of the party
1t is plunder and sale at Washington and
elsewhere from Grant all the way through.
Carpet-bag and scallawag scoundrels rule
rob and riot in their villainy. The lead
ers at Washington send out their investi-
eating committees over the South to re-
port on "Ku-Klux outrages." but not
word of interference with their friends,
the carpet-bag thieves.
The radical organs have still much to
say about Tweed. but nothing to say
about their Hodges, Baillies. &C., &. On
" last week two more Of their nice "loyal'
at Washington were found to
have stolen from the Treasury Depart
ment only some seventy thousand dollars
So we so these happy radical Grant |
times.
