asks it and partly because he has no Just
cause of complaint against the Sentinel
and cannot prevent "prominent Rspubli
cans in our county" from repeating" the
truth though called by him this piece Of
impudent mendacity against Mr.. Taylor"
The Sentinel is the proper channel
through which Mr.. Orledge should makc
bis grievances known to the public. But
he asks space now in tho TELEGRAPH for
the purpose of setting prominent Re pub
leans in Kenosha county right who are
repeating and believe it too what the
Sentinel said In relation to Mr. Taylor IS
President OF the State Agricultural Socic.

the committee to recommend Officers of
the Society.
F. The circumstances under which Mr..
Orledge asks space now ADD under hich
he asked tia year ago ars altogetherldi diff.
fcrent. A year ago the party with which
he acted, if he acted with any, had no
party ergan in this county and If he got
q hearing at all it must be by courtesy
through some paper. Now he supports
the candidates of and acts with a party
which has party organ in this county
A year ago he could ask spA CO to be given
hln through courtesy. His asking space
now, IT in another, would &c called ty
himself "impudent." And as to "men-
dacity" whether on bis part or the part
OF the Sentinel as repeated by prominent
Republicans in this county, and believed
too, the sequel will PROBABLY show.
We remember to have seen statement
in the Wisconsin, very nearly or quite the
same as the first attributed by NJ. Or
ledge to the Sentinel but do not remem-
Der to have seen it in the Sentinel. But
even if the SsatSnelmade both the remarks
attributed to it there is no contradiction
or even inconsistency in the re marks. |

the Sentinel so charge: And did Mr.
Taylor so appoint We do not remember
the relative number of Democrats and
Republicans charged to have been ap-
pointed. But we know the Sentinel was
not alone in making the charge. The
STATE Journal and other papers charged
that Mr. TAylor's appointees on the CON-
mittes were mainly Democrats and made
so Tor the purpAee of securing his re- cleo
tor. Now we Believe the S:nttneL, State
Journal, and other papers joining in the |
charge, know tile truth af what thew
charge, better than Mr. Oredge knows it
not to be true. Knowing the men oct; er
they are bet er prepared to know whether
they are Democrats Or Rcpu blicaus. In
TACT Mr.. Orledge does not profess to know
The men or whether they arc Democrats
or Republicans, for he says: IL herewith
give list Of the members Of that coin
mittee, with as I believe and understand
their correct political proclivitlrs" ALL
there is "f it L., Mr.. 0rledge's belief aud
understanding. Simply this and nothing
more. And with this Ms a kind of ouassi
testimony Mr.. OrIedge asks space in the
TELEGRAPH to set right and stop "promi-I
nent kcpu blicaEs in this county from re-
peatihs" what he stigmatizos as "this
piece Of impndent mendaclty, and be-
iieving it too" We would ask pow where
the "impudent msndacity" comes in, Is
it with the statement believed too, and
repeated by prominent Republicans in
this county that Mr.. Taylors committee
appoia'ecs were mainly DemocratsY Or
is it with Mr.. Orledge Ia asking So &c in
and making statements through the TEL

Mr.. Taylor's committee appointees Of
