Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1872-08-29

of last week appeared an
article written by it's Pig Ed
itor,he who edits the Pig Cuts DC,
in that paper-in which he basely
misrepresents our remarks made be-
fore the Grant club on the evening
Of the 18th inst.
After reading the article in the
Union we prepared the accompanying
reply to it, snd called on MIR. Brhn-
ner, whom we supposed to be the
controlling editor of that paper, and
requested an insertion therein. He,
after reading it, said Certainly, but
you must take whatever reply Hoyt
gives you" To that, of course, We
willingly assented-not fearing his
shafts nor his organ or Pig Cuts.
The day after this Mr.. Hoyt call
ed on us and said that he could not
allow its appearance in the Union.
thereby depriving us of the privilege
of reaching the readers of his base
anu truthless assertions through the
same channel in which they were
given to the public. We then called
at the Union office and obtained
from Mr.. Drummer our manuscript,
and ask now for its insertion in the
REPUBLICAN:
UPPER SANDUsKY Aug. &c, ~
L, 4. Brunner, Esq:
In your issue of the 22d inst. ap-
pears an article, signed H from the
pen of Henry A. Hoyt, so in fair and
so false in it's declarations, that ]
ask the use of the same channel by
which it was given to the public, as a
means of correcting its false charges.
Justice to yourself, Mr.. Editor. and
the duty you owe to one basely mis-
represented through your colums,
alike demand that you grant this
reasonable request.
We never will, knowingly, misre-
present the statements of any man,
nor dove take any pleasure in being
thus maligned.
The article to which we refer COW
ers partial report of the proceeding:
of the Grant Club meeting of the
Saturday evening previous, and says
that i'll our remarks at that meeting
we said that democrats were trail
tors, and he might as well said that
Liberal Republicans were Benedic,
Arno1ds, and that the brave soldiers
who would vote for Horace Greeley
belonged to one class or the other
Mr. Editor, we made no such charge
against f'Democrats NO such re-
ference to Liberal Republicans ;-ant
no remarks, at all, as to how "brave
soldiers should vote, and when sait
HoYt wrote the above he kneW It tc
be untrue!
When said Hoyt wrote that ac,
"decided that Democrats ought no
to be believed" he asserted what
was untrue and he knew it! When
said Hoyt wrote that ace asked the
"Club to say Amen to that particular
part ofhis speech he asserted wha
he kneU to be untrue!
When said Hoyt said and wr5te
that .'the Organ man lied when he
said it, he said ace ''lied'' when h,
was asserting what was not true. ant
ne knew it! When Henry A. Hoy
wrote "we move it should recon-
mend him to the Father of Lies
throughout eternity" we can only
reply that when near Henry A. Hoyt
we are about as near that old dragon
as we desire to be!
Every word we said in those re-
marks were from manuscript, well
knowing that this base maligne,
would do just as he has done, and
therefore, we are prepared for thu
falsifier oftruth!
In those remarks we did use the
word "traitor," in referring to those
southern traitors who sought to de-
stroy our great Republic, and W.
said if the Greely men in the nortl
desired as party to join hands will
them "over the bloody chasm'' they
might do so, but we would not! l
said Hoyt feels that he belongs soutl
of that ''chasm," then no wonder
that he te!t c1t Will any true dem)-
crat deny that "traitors," crimsoneC
our land with blood, and sought to
destroy our Union? When you dc
so, if you dare, we are ready to show,
from Horace Greeley's pen that sucl
was the fact, and as democrats en-.
dorse him now, because of his "hon
esty," they must believe what h'
says.
We here say that we esteem man!
democrats as our friends, becaus
they are true and good men, and will
at any time stake their notes for ou
wares" although we might hesitat
to take that of this maliyner anC
falsifier of our character, and of wha
we said -.
+ We say this much only becaus'
those who were not present may bt
misled as to the truth. This ma
ligner says "Moseby is now 70
Grant, and lie is right, in your opin-
ion." -..
Moseby, it is true, sis for Grant,
but he is '.traitor'-a yile TRAITOR
nevertheless. By turning his bach
on his treason he may ease his con
science, but he never can erase the
bloody stain! Nor is he the strength
; of our party in the south Truth il
mighty, and will prevair'-Give II!
justice-we ask no more.
