THE MODESrY OF WARREN Il
NOBLE AND HIS FRIENDS!
what's Sauce for the Goose ought to be
Sauce for the Gandcr.

Ever since the discovery of the whole
sale robbery known as the Breslin and
Gibson defalcation, the Loco p: pers Of the
Ninth Congressional district have tax,
:.dvantage of every opportunity tie charge
Gov. Chase, Gov. Dcnnison, and otlpr
prominent members Of the Republican
party with being implicated in that unho
ly transaction. Now it is we'll known
that the investigating committee, in their
report do not throw half The suspicion a.
round the names Of these men that they
do around that Of Warren p. Noble:and
yet, when We dare to make the charge
against Mr.. Noble, his friends hold up
their hands and raise their eyes to Heav-
en- in holy horror and threaten US with a
libel suit. Warren p. Noble and his
friends say to US, ''sir; we know that the
investigating committee have connected
our names with this robbery of the Treas
ury, but you dare to rereat the charge and
we will make it a dear business for you.'
This charge has been made and pub
llshed to the world under the sa:clion and
authority of the great State of Ohio; and
yet we are told that it will be looked up
on as Eeinous offence and as good
cause Tor the commencement of a suit for
libel, if any editor in the Ninth Congress
sional district should venture to r,itter.
ate it--and why? Because Mr.. Noble
is candidate for Congress. and if the
Idea should get abroad amongst the peo-
pie that he was in any way connected
with the Bres!in Defalcation, his defeat
would be certain. Hence, THE PRESS
MUST BE MUZZLED in order to shield
the innocent, the IMMACULATE Warren P.
ny don't YOU commence your libel
suits against the originato:s OF the charge .
Why pitch upon the editor of the ..Pio-
neer" just at this time? Gentlemen, the
truth is. you know very well that the yeo-
manry of Wyandot county would repudi-
ate Warren P. Noble or any other man
around whose name they found the slight
est suspicion Of his having been connected
with the Breslin and Gibson robbery, and,
to prevent this calamity from coming up.
on you, You would fain close our mouth
by threats, knowing, as you do, that our
paper is the only medium through which
the people Of this county would be likely
to be m ade acquainted with that part OF
the report of the investigating committee
in which the name OF Warm P. Noble
occupies so conspicuousa position.
When Chase was candidate, Locofoco
editors in this State were very assiduous
In their efforts to show the people that his
name Figured in the report of the in
vestig ating committee, and hence must
have had somcthing to do with the defal
cation; the same charge was made against
Dennison when he was candidate for
Governor, and Notwithstanding there was
not 1.-THE of evidence to substantiate the
charges, they were heralded from one
corner of the State to the other by the
papers and stumpers who opposed their
election. But, now, when we attempt to
show what connection their candidate for
Congress had with that transaction, in
stead OF attempting to refute the charge as
honorable men should do, they endeavor
to intinilate rs and clote our mouth by
presenting to our astonished vision all the
terrors of a libel salt.
Now, fellow citizens, if Warren P. No.
BILE is. innocent of the implied charge con-
taincd in the report of the Breslin and
Gibson investigating committee, why
does not he and his friends meet it like
honorable men and establish bis inno-
cence, instead of attempting to smother
the whole thing by bridling the tongues
and muzzling the press Of their opponents.
Why do they try to avoid investigation
by taking refuge behind their legal rghtsg
Don't it look very suspicious, to say the
very least Of tin all candor, does it not
seem TO indicate that there might possibly
be respectfully sized member of the AT
rican race secreted somewhere in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the woodpile? Is i:
manly-is it honorable? And can YOU
vote for man who will resort to such
ungentlemanly means to screen himself?
Will you sustain such man in preference
to the candid, honest and noble old
FARMER CONGRESSMAN, John Ca.
rey?
@If we have treated the silly trash
that appeared in the Union OF last week
with contempt. we hope they will excuse
us-we have neither time nor room to de-
vote to such nonsensical stuff. Our am
unition is intended for larger game--we
are not now hunting that class of DUNN
oninules. -
