Why Not Make Amdavitss
From the Utica Observer

1t should be remembered IN this connection that
Mr.. Tilton is the only party to this controversy
who has made any statement under oath. He
swears to the truth OF his charges against Beecher
and Is met by an manifested denial.

Great Wrong Has Been Done.


FROM the Blnghamton Republcan.I
We do not conceal the amazement with which
we read the statement OF MIR. Triton. II 1t rested
upon his unsupported word we should reject 1t at
once as incredible. But the letters That are pub
lished make 1t certain II they are genuine, that
great wrong has been done by Mr.. Beecher.
Whether that wrong amounts to a crime or not we
cannot undertake to say until Ar. Beecher and
Mrs. T1ltOn's case Is presented.

The Tilton Conspiracy.


During the past three years wicked attempt
has been persistently made by the advocates of
free love destroy the reputation Of an estimabe
lady and all eminent Christian minister. Detrac-
ton, like death, loves a shining mark and those
VINO advocate license seek to prove that all men
and women are licentious. Meanwhile the
Womdn's Journal has remained silent; not be-
cause we have feared to speak, but because we
did not choose 20 increase the circulation OF a
scandal, promulgated by woman Of Infamous
character, in the interest or immortality. Only
twice nave we made any exception to this rule OF
silence; once to express our disgust at the I'M
manly conduct OF MIR. TiltOn IN silently permitting
his wife to be thus slandered when 1t was in his
power to have indicated her good name; again
to publish Mr. Beecher's letter TO the Brooklyn
Eagle. which explicitly contradtcted the charges
made against him.
The gross and indecent arrangement now pub
licly made by Mr. TtOn changes the situation and
out waiting Tor the replies OF Mrs. rton and Mr.
Beecher having known them both personally Or
many years, we will frankly say that they should
ADMIT the truth OF Mr.. TllIOn's statement we
they do so we find 1t impossible. Knowing Mr.. TIL
ton Also we should require collateral evidence at
every step before accepting any Of his statements.
The man and woman who are accused have behind
them the consistent record Of private and pubic
worth; the man who accuses them has no such
record.
What have these three people being doing dur
ing the past seven years? Mrs. Triton mas been
patient, loving, devoted wife and mother, endur-
ing nameless wrongs IN silence. Mr.. Beecher has
hours In writing O life OF Christ. Mr.. nton has
been advocating free DIVORCE" and writing the
biography OF Victoria woodruff. The contrast is y
sharp one and tells the whole story.

THE SU N
WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY

thousand subscribers, and which will, we
hope, give it many thousands more, are

carefully selected and legibly printed in its
| pages.
1t is iirst-rate agricultural paper. The

CULTURAL topics regularly appear in this

1t is an Independent political paper, be.
longing to no party and wearing no collar.
II lights for principle, and for the election of
the best men to office. 1t especially devotes
its energies to the exposure of the great
corruplions that now weaken and disgrace
our country, and threaten to undermine
republican institutions altogether. 1t has
no fear of knaves, and asks no favOrs from
their supporters.
1t reports the fashions for the ladies and
the markets for the men, especially the cattle
markets, to which it pays particular atten-
ton.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published.
