The Tiffin weekly tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1859-1868, 1864-11-17

fat boy) he, II was, who ives chairman Of
tho famous committee that made reports
on the officers, accounts, and, he il was
who as a majority chairman reported
against the officers, and then pocketed
his report and refused to furnish copy,
or even suffer these ladies' 20 copy II
themselves, when they requested TO do so.
Miserable specimen Of n gentleman at
tempting by misrepresentation 10 blast
the reputation Of four ladies', and then
refusing a copy of your lying slandcr, for
fear lis rOttenness would be exposed; and
TO bolster up tho waning fortunes o! that
scapcgraco Rlynolds, and to give further
sanction to his malicious designs, comes
up to the scratch and signs, and publ
a stntcmcntwhch pronounce false from
beginning to end Why did you rot tell
the truth Mr.. Kyle, in relation 70 what
had said 10 you' Why did you not soy
that while you had the papers and &C.
counts Of the fair in your hands TO inves-
,igote, you called upon me to Examine
them, aud that I did examine thoroughly
in your presence, and told yon that they
were correct, and you as an honest
man ought so 10 report. But no, this was
doing the bidding Of your master, and
you, spaniel like, truckled to his will.
Mr.. Bcnhams statement has no particular
bearing, aud he is simply mistaken, MS to
our conversation. told him only what
had heard ID. ID. Ogden say, ns live |
never heard a word from any one else.
The next partner in the firm is tho noted
Major of the 72d o. V. l., who was so
anxious to get recruits TO 60 and fight
with him, but when marching orders
came, the Major was non est, thinking,
perhaps, that "hc who fights and runs
nwny may live to fight another day."
Now, Major, you have seen ft to put your
nnmc to n statement immntcrial TO the
issue, showing your deep seated device to
condemn tho ladies', of all others, you
ought TO have defended, for, in tho man
ngcment Of tho fair you participated
largely, you got up lotteries, grab boxes,
and made yourself useful generally, ond
IL the fair was not profitable part Of the
sin may lay at your door.
Mr.. Swigcrt wns reported by the noted
Ira, us the chief intlcr Of the occasion,
which was ilatly denied by Mr.. Swipcrt
on his return home. The sale Of Tiffin
goods haunted Ira, aud he made Mr. Swi-
CERT the author of the story, which was
denied by Mr.. Swigerl. What earthly
bearing the statement of "not forcing the
stand on the fair" has TO do with the pro.
cccds, is beyond my comprehension,
unless gentlemen arc seeking notoriety.
ID. ID. Ogden Is acxt in order and has been
chief fuglcman for the whole concern: he
has pulled the wires behind the screen for
tho puppct Ira 20 dance. And with
pencil in hand has trottcd from house TO
house, noting three cents hero, and three
cents there, that might have been counted
in the fair il they had received IL, which

the prime mover Of the whole difficulty,
and when friend took the trouble to 90
to him with the facts and figures to show
him that he was in error, in charging
those ladies' with fraud, he refused To even
look at them, saying,T don't care what
figures show believe they stole money!
