plies and explanations, and that
when he delivers his final reply, il
VIII at least contain enough sub
stance and probability to justify a
difference OF opinion.
A PROOF OF GUILT
From the St. Paul Dispatch.
Mrs. Tilton's denial is unworthy
oi a noble, puEe, true woman. 1t
i tue sentimental rhetoric OF a per
veried and morbid mind rather than
the simple eloquence Of innocence.
1t bears ,he impress OF preparation,
as # touched with the sinful love
that had already laid her home in
ashes. Ii is IN arraignment OF her
husband tather than defence OF
herself and guilty paramour. \ y
Mrs. Tiiton's denial is Il proof OF
guilt rather than Il plea ofinnocence.
GREAT MISTAKE.
From the Fond du Lac Commonwealth
We cannot see ihat the complex
ION Of the case is in the least chang
ed by what the accused parties have
50 iar done TO rebut Tilton's charges.
They may have conclusive proof Of
their innocent in reserve, but if so
they have made a great mistake in
permitting this delay i'll giving it to
the public.
AMOUNTS TO LITTLE.
From the indianapolis News.
Mrs. TiIton's statement amounts
to little rs refutation Of her hus-
bands statements. However, il sne
does nou effect much in clearing her
sell, she puts in 4 :" "iul! days work
in incupatmg her husband. Tilton
is a ''nsed-up" man, and the recoil
Of his own gun has done The mis-
chief; whether it viii hit what it
was aimed at is not 50 certain"
FALsFHooD AND PERJURY.
From the Keokuk Gate City.
AS the case stands, the written
evidence Tilton gives must be pro-
ven forgeries, or Beecher and Mrs.
Tilton are guilty rs charged, and
they are now but adding ialsehood
and perjury TO their other crime.
UTTERLY FAILS.
From the St. Paul Dispatch.
Painful rs it is, truth compels the
declaration that Mr.. Beecher's deni-
al is not satisfactory. 1t will not be
so regarded outside OF The circle OF
his personal admirers by dozen
men IN the country. 1t utterly fails
to account for the damaging array
Of facts presented by Tilton.
SENTIMENT MUST DE LAID ASIDE.
From the Brooklyn Argus.
Mr.. Beecher is now in that posi-,
tion when sentiment must be laid
aside. He must stop the unwise
advocacy of injudicious friends, aud
act for himself The public should
and will suspend its Judgment on
this unfortunate matter just Us long
rs ii concludes the case is not made
But of this it will judge for itself
Neither MIR. Tilton nor Mr.. Beec her
can influence il by what they may
say. Both can influence it by what
they may do.
WHAT a GRAND JURY MIGHT DO.
| From the Boston News
If this is all Mr.. Beecher has to
say, it might a> well have been left
unsald, as the case demands some
thing besides "you did" and 81
didn't" from accuSer ana accused.
II the Committee can't properly
meet the case, grand jury might
help to the truth, which, somehow,
must come out.
COMPREHENSIVE AND ABSOLUTE.
From the New York Mail.
Mrs. Titon's denial of all guilt,
ike lhat Of Mr. Beecher, is compre-
henSive, absolute, unqualified, and
indignant Ii came from the heart.
Ii will go to The hearts of millions.
WEAK WOMAN.
| From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Mrs. Tiltor is reported to be a
weak woman. She must have been
if she now tells The truth. We would
have been glad If her statemen had
been stronger. 1t is doubtful! 20 us
if She will be though, to have I'M
paired the strength OF her husband s
story, OF materially helped Mr..
| Beecher.
MRS BEECHER.
From the n Y. Star, (Joe Howard)
Then she Mrs Tilton sought ad-
vice from their mutual friend Beech
erl, and he turned her over to his
wife. Mrs. Beecher is not young
and firty fibberty- -gibbet. On the
contrary, she is the wife and compe-
tent partner of the greatest intellect
OF the age. She is woman Of at
least 6O-tall, handsome, dignified,
and serene. Her whitened hair adds
beauty TO an intelligent face, through
the keen blue eye Of which beams a
glance Of rarely-deceived intention.
For instance: She loves and has
faith in her husband. She loves
Mrs. T'iIton. She hates Tilton. And
she regards Frank Moulton as a
snake.
