from the Cincinnati Commercial.
Tho public will DO curious 10 see what reply
intolllA,ble response Of tho odtor Of the gohten
Age. It Is apparent that htr. Tilton-mho las
preserved silence undur tlle most agRrayating
circumstances to savc Individual regulations and
tho good name Of tho Churoh-hha hoped TINT

that there was n basis of truth for tho acandal,

Mr.: 7Slton's par, te 1t Is that Of man who at
