The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1878-06-27

The notorious General Grosveno: has
been prancing around, with his charac-
teristic insolence and impudence, until
he is getting into rather tight quarters.
At the Republican caucus in Columbus
couple of months ago, he referred to the
Jackson Standard as an alleged Repub-
lican paper" At the Dick Smith fan
dango in Cincinnati he welcomed Gen.
Beatty as returning prodigal, and very
generously proposed to slay the fatted
calf for his benefit.
The Athens Messenger, paper with as
good reputation for truth and fairness
as any Republican paper in the State-a
paper published at the home of this
sham reformer, thus speaks of this mon
umental fraud
"Now, while General Grosvenor is on
the war path, and before he proceeds to
take any more scalps, it might be well
for him to take some notice of the charge
made by General Beatty that he worked
and voted for the Democratic candidate
for Representative in Athens county last
fall. A man who has such sharp tongue
and is so reckless in his statements as
|
his own record is as white as snow before
he attacks the character Of others. = Co
lumbus Evening Dispatch.
"Grosvenor not only lent his influence
to the defeat of Maj. Townsend but furn-
ished SCOTS managers with the names of
certain professed Republicans in several
of the townships of the country who
might be induced to sell out to the Demo
cratic candidate. 1t is also strongly sus-
pected and generally believed that Gros-
venor not only worked but that he contrib
atted to secure Townsend's defeat
Another fact: Grosvenor's anxiety to
learn the result of his treachery-aye
treason-to the candidate of his own
the night of the election, as follows:
