SHsR1DAN told the stale story abo d
Tweed being the bosom friend d
Tilden.-BulLetin.
Stale or not stale, we challenge the
Bulletin, or any other supporter OF
the copperhead Tilden, to produce
the smallest item of evidence thai
this Wall street speculator did an
thing whatever to stop Tweedt
stealing until his ruin had been ad
complished. Tweed's downfall wa
accomplished while Tilden was yei
in his camp. Tilden's first public
action against the Tweed ring die
not come until two months after theil
exposure had been effected. Sheri,
dan had the right to call Tweed the
bosom friend of Tilden. Tilden was
Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee at this time, and accepted
of the money of the Tweed ring to
help in Democratic campaigns, know
ing that it was stolen, for the facts
and figures had long been given to
the world before Tilden broke with
the ring. When the thieving gang
had been thoroughly exposed, still it
took him some six weeks to make up
his mind to break with it. The
great Indignation meeting, out of
which grew the Committee of Seven
ty, was held nearly six weeks after
the publication of the crushing evil
dence of the guilt of the ring, and at
this time Tilden was undecided as to
the part he was to play, and fatty
refused to make public stand
against Tweed. And the Bulletin
calls these matters of history ''stale." "
To the democratic stomach we sup
pose they are. When the Bulletin
accepted of Tilden as its candidate
for President, it undoubtedly made
up its mind to eat a large dish of
crow, and it is to be confessed that
it is doing it in wanton and uncon-
cerned way. 1t swallows hard
money, resumption, railroad embez-
element, salary-grabbing, railroad
grants of public lands, &c, without a
grunt. An emetic could not have
more thoroughly cleaned its stomach
for the new departure than the nomi-
natior of Tilden has.

ADvrcEs from GaIlia county, are
that hundreds of Republicans will
vote for Vance this fall who voted
against him two years ago.-Ironton
Democrat.
Your advices are false. Hundreds
Of Republicans will vote for Neal this
fall, who voted for Vance two years
ago. This you can depend upon
Gallipolis Journal.
We happen to know that our adj
vices are not false, as the result will
show :
By the way, we challenge you to
name half q dozen Republicans in
Gallia county who voted for Vance
before, who will vote against him
this Fall, outside of Meals relatives.
Come, NO guess work!-Ironten
Democrat.
Yes, the result will show, and by
that we are willing to be judged of
the truth of our statement. We know
whereof we affirm. We are not pub
fishing names, but we will give you
a couple of straws. A well Informed
gentleman, farmer, Saturday, in our
presence, counted up over thirty Re-
publicans, in his township alone,
who two years ago voted for VANCE,
but who this year will vote for NEAL
The day before, on Friday, an active
political worker from another town.
ship, a gentleman who two years age
worked and voted for VANCE, and
which township gave VANCE ovel
forty Republican votes, stated to us
that he did know of single Republi-
can in his township that would vote
against NEAL this year. And this is
"no guess work." Mr.. Democrat
You can bet your bottom dollar on
the accuracy of these statements. !

NEAL did not wave the bloody
shirt" during the wae Vance then
fought while Neal held ofice.--Ports.
Times.
If VANCE s'then fought" he has
since mutilated that record by con-
sort with copperheads. His support
of Tn.DEs, a prince among the oppo-
sers of the war for Union and Liber-
ty, is an illustration. Tilden never
uttered word of encouragement for
his country in the time of its peril.
He was in favor of surrendering to
the rebels upon their own terms.
Here is his reply to a young man,
who asked his influence to raise a
company: aYoung man, you need
not come to me for any such letter OF
recommendation; this war is per-
feet outrage, and I will lend no as
sistance whatever to its prosecution. "
A soldier that can and does support
Tilden in the face of such treason
able utterance, can claim no credit
for being on the side of right during
the war. For mere partisan pur-
poses he would undo what the war
established. Such a man cannot be
trusted with the great interests Of
Union and Liberty.
NEAL, on the other hand, has been
true and steadfast to his convictions
OF duty, both during the war and
since. He believed the war against
the government madness-treason in
its highest form-and he believed the
aid given it by copperheads North to
be in the same direction; prolonga
ton of the war, and the unnecessary
sacrifice of both life aud money
and to-day he stands in the same po
sition. Such man, though he may
have been employed in the walks o.
peace during the war, is much more
to be depended upon in working ou'
the results of the war, than he who
fought and then deserted to the
camp of the copperheads.

THE family clackers pronounce the
charge against VANCE, that he caus-
ed government warrant for the
sum of 800 to find its way in the
pockets of his cousin, J. z. ALE
SHIRE, ga most vile, slanderous and
malicious" attack against that gentle
man, and then proceed to acknowl-
edge the charge to be true. They
say that Mr.. ALEsHIRE's compensa-
tion so received was for over three
weeks services rendered as first
class book keeper and accountant,
for examining the books of the
Printing Department during the in
vestigation of last winter and spring.
The Ironton Commercial comments
upon this explanation as follows:
Very well. But it does not do
Col. Vance any credit that he sent to
Gallipolis, an unknown Ohio town,
and selected as witness and an ex-
pert, the Co1gressman's cousin and
particular clacquer, to come to Wash
ington and examine the books.
There were an abundance Of expert
accountants in and around Washing
ton City whose services could have
been procured at less expense to the
Committee than Mr.. Aleshire's, and
who could have done the same work
every whit as well. But trip to
Washington at Uncle Sans expense
is an opportunity not to be sneezed
at, and Mr.. Aleshire, who is jovial,
clever, good fellow, is not the man to
go back on such occasions. It's the
looks of the thing we object to. To
the voters there may be something
in it.
How can q statement be "vile,
slanderous and malicious" when it is
true? To one unacquainted with the
devious ways of Tilden Reformer
the thing looks as if there was lit
tie too much nepotism in it.

In 1861, while the brave Union
BOYS of the Nation were going to
the front to save the government
from overthrow, Tilden was in AL

when these same brave boys were
bearing the fatigue and loss of march
and battle, for the cause of Union
and Liberty, this man Tilden was at
Chicago preaching surrender to the
rebels-peace upon any terms. What
should be the course of these soldier
