TlLTON AT BAY.
He Now Offers Go Testify Concerning
the Rnecher Scandal.

Mr.. Theodore Tilton has written a
letter tc Plymouth Church in which he
offers to appear az a witness before its
Examining Committee and answer any
questions which may be put to him re-
gsrding the matter Of the Beecher
scandal. In this document he valves
the point that, his membership having
been severed with Plymouth Church, he
isnot bound to answercharges orfurnish
information at its bidding, and offers to
help in any way within his power a
thorough investigation of the whole
subject. The letter has been for ten
days in the hands of Thomas Shear
man, the lawyer, who is clerk Of
Plymouth Church, and has been in
formally consulted by the friends of
Mr.. Beecher; but no meeting of the
church has been called to act upon it.
One of the terms of Mr.. Tilton's offer
IS that, if accepted, he must be notified
within thirty days. Mr.. Beecher's
usual summer vacation of three months
will begin about the middle of July,
and it is said that his friends are di-
vided in advice between rejecting Mr..
Tilton's proposal and securing a delay
until fall. The Rev. DR.. Leonard, the
leader of New England Congregation
alism and Moderator of the famous
Council, has been writing to Henry G.
Bowen's paper, the Independent, Sc
verely condemning Mr.. Tilton as the
author Of charges against Mr.. Beecher,
and Plymouth Church for allowing
them to remain unanswered. The new
action of Mr.. Tilton is supposed to have
been incited by DR.. Bacon's structures.

A BLUE OUTLOOK.
The Republicans of Illinois and In
diana i'm n Bad Way.
Chicago Times.

Chicago Times.
There Is a blue outlook for the Re-
publican party in both these States.
In Illinois the party has been demor-
allied by its leaders, and the leaders
are now demoralized by the party.
Having been told by their Senators and
Congressman that the stagnatiOn of
business is due to a lack of currency,
many of their voters Will now drift
away to the party which promises to
give them more currency. With what
face can Logan and Oglesby entreat
them TO stand by the party when the
party itself has gone back on Logan
and OglesbyF Then the financial
crisis, which is still grinding
its dreary grist everywhere, will
grind hard against them, for panics al
ways tell-against the party IN power.
The long list of exposures of official
corruption has produced disgust and
loathing in the public mind, and this,
too, will send in a dismal account of
stay-at- homes on election day-enough
to topple over many Congressman
who now fancies himself safe. In In
diana the same causes will operate up
on constituency so evenly divided
that there is no margin to come and
90. The farmers movement IN both
States means business, and IN both will
make desperate push for the Legis-
Iature. 1t will be a distracting con-
fiict. in the midst of which the Demo
cratic party, encouraged by recent sue
sesses IN New Hampshire, Connecticut
and Oregon, will put in an appearance,
in all probability, with a hard money
platform; and, if the infationists are
divided, will have large odds in then
favor.
