Triton inelligently faithfully directly undertook nom
esy perform the duty give the service for which ne
understood the real socitudes and the real Responsible
ties of these parties had resored TO him in respect or
and that in that he dealt you would do AZ 10" wouia
do as you would do a. any man Of common sense ana
clear purpose would do. prckng all these bubbles AZ
once: "wen what Is that You charge MI Beecher oiT
and that the charge Well, part OF that Is infer
ence "Oh! no; no part OF II is inference" "eh' out
that last part with all that that implies Beecner
certainly did say TO the woman. want you 10 NC
nv wife, with all that that mples.'" "Oh. WELL that,
to be sure" swell, now, what Is your purposeI DO
you want TO end this scandal do you want 10 Keep IL
alivep "I want TO end it." "wel then. the way 70
end it is deny what the Woodruff publication says
about your communicating, and which you say Is all
false put an end to this matter, burn up all THESE
papers and have it closed" Well, Why should not that
be donei But it could not be done; and why ' MT
Tracy says, "we why can't 1t be done, II you want 70
suppress it" "wen. If these papers were destroyed
having circulated various charges against MI beecnc
he would turn and rend me-" "Well," Mr. Tracy says
THAT is very absurd Certainly, Mr. Beecher has no IN
teres in having these matters made the subject OF pupc
dscu ss0n merely for the satisfaction OF pursuing you
as a slanderer" "we II Mr.. Beecher would not DO II
his church would" And you find Mr.. Titon, for the
first time brought face To face with An Intelligent an
honest disinteresed scrutiny about the mater' -
Obliged O retreat under the fog OF desire 10 suppress
but yet an unwllIngness to give the means Of cont
fculty Mr. Tilton has been in. He wished indeed
TO be brought 10 the test that he has suffered In this
trial before YOU He never wantedsthe resistance OF
Beecher and exploration and weighing, and measuring
of this matter man that had been so quiet as
he tells you, under all the load OF these injuries
under all the horrors Of these wounds I'd LIS
PRIDE his feelings as that he slept uniisturbed
by wes side always and when he came to Beechers
face wanted always MY to be of Beechers friend
ship He says when later stage TO which shall call
your attention, Mr.. M0ulton had said to him: Now
Beecher says he will stand secrecy longer he VIII nave
of this policy Of silence in your BEHALF broken
ever by your prom cations at your will Great rs is
the terror evil OF scandal which man feels ror
the manifold complications in which he stands to Others
and which he especially IN the relation in which ne
stands 10 yolIr Mr. Tltons family, your wife, your chill
dren this matter he will stand no longer He Il going
to put himself directly at issue now, and by throwing
challenge for facts, and stripping hmse OF al
impedments of the interests the feelings or the pride OF
Plymouth Church, he is going TO meet you as man 10
man." Then Mr.. Titon has all the lion reused IN him.
and saws II he does that viii shoot him in the street.
Now that is O time for shooting; that is time TOT
spirit; that is time for pride and the threat that
he had madethat of publication that Tilton had made
expecting that Mr. Beechers sOcitude for his Iutoh
family and for the great that surrounded him
would make him yield 10 some accommodation even IN
that the threat publish at once withdrawn ana
the matter came to end But will not anticipate the
details Of that situation only show you throughout
that Mr. Tilton, having moderate mmoderate IL might
seem to MI Beecher) of offense and accusaton
was always outrunning it in his tongue, outrunning IL IN
his written letters Outrunnng it in hs printed slips con-
tinually involving himself in the guilt and the shame
treaehery and the cowardce OF these malignant
secret stabs and whenever there came 10 dc
question Of disclosure and confronting the truth ana
each other before the public then there vas always
desire to concession from Mr. Beecher in his
magnanimity, in his generosity in his sympahes that
could save Mr. Ton from the absolute discriit and dis
grace the discovery Of his arts Although MT Beeche
did not know or suspect and cmrtably refused TO admit
aspersons OF faith, of whsperings OF treschey yet
Mr. Tlton knew that whenever, under any examination
the let into this matter all this treachery of
Tlton and maneuverng Of MoutOn brought In mont OF
the bodness Of Beecher would leave doubt in mems
minds of the true Of what had been going on Tor
years.
