and county, on more than one occa-
sion. He had sought to purchase
the bonds of the L. E. & L. r. R
Company held by Mr.. Foster and
others, by representing that he had
purchased the bonds held in New
York and New Haven, and he had
attempted to buy those held in New
York and New Haven, by represent
ing that he had bought those held
here. And his own declaration OF
purpose was: to effect the purchase,
then take up the rails from Fremont
to Kansas, and run the line thence
to Green S brings, leaving out Ere
mont, and reducing that country in
cluded between the Carey branch
and the proposed new branch as
much al his mercy as those on the
line he already controlled. He
would thus have been striking a
heavy blow at our interests as City
and County, and of course placing
US under debt of gratitude, which
would entitle him to expect the peo-
pie to vote for him. This is a fact
which can be established on indubi.
table testimony, but which Sloane
will not have the hardihood to deny.
Can you vote for him?
Again, he attempted underhanded-
ly and meanly, to wrest from our
city an appropriation intended for
the improvement of our river. But
failed in accomplishing his rascality
by the vigilance of General Buck
land, then our Representative in
Congress. General Buckland had
secured an appropriation of $4,000
dollars for the Sandusky RiUer, at
the same time that he had secured
on appropriation of $4,000 for San
dusky Harbor. The Hon. Rush R.
Sloane, (who would not pass the
soldiers orphans over his rOad) was
in Washington when the bill passed
the House, and fastening to Hon.
John Sherman, represented to him
that it was mistake, and that the
appropriation made for Sandusky
River was intended for the Bay, and
had the bill amended accordingly.
The bill was amended in the Senate
as he desired, returned to the House
to have the amendment concurred
in, but there was stopped by General
Buckland, who Immediately saw
Senator Sherman, and learned how
the amendment occurred. An ex-
PLANTATION followed and Sloane was
defeated, although he had telegraphed
home his success.
If he could have succeeded in his
intentions, he would have perpetrated
an outrage upon our people for which
there was no excuse, as Sandusky
Harbor had been literally provided
for. And yet, under certain circum-
stances he might be excused for
wishing to get all he could for his
city.
But how stands he to-day2 Is he
changed any from what he was, or is
his antagonism to Fremont any the
less than it was? Is he the candi-
date who will protect the interests OF
the people of all the District? or is
he simply the Candidate for San
dusky City against the rest of the
District? Let himself answer the
question.
On a recent occasion he made 8
speech in Sandusky City, in which
he endeavored to show that that
city had lost greatly by not having
him in Congress before. He pointed
to the appropriations made for Ere
mont and also those made for Por
Clinton as evidences, and plainly
intimated if he had been the Con
gresham, all that had been secured
for those places would have beer
diverted to Sandusky City. Now, i
the Hon. Rush R. will say this a
the present time, in order to make
votes in Sandusky City, it must be
that he feels so, or else is deceivine
the people down there. Either ont
of the propositions must be true, an(
the nature of the man and his preYi
Gus act meant to injure US, must b.
taken as evidence that he is not de
ce1ving them, and hence we cannor
expect in case of his election evel
to receive any consideration at hii
hands.
Citizens of Fremont and of San
dusky County consider these things
aud determine whether you will give
your vote to a man whose interests
and whose practices, and whose pre-
judices have always been against
you, or whether you will vote fol
Charley Foster whose interests are
identical with our own, and whose
manhood is so reliable, that the int
crest of all parts of the District are
properly cared for, without prejudice
or partiality.
Handsome display!
