COMMITTEE REPORT
Sloane colonizing.

When Sloane undertook to run fol
Congress he made his boast that hC
would secure men enough to cleo
him, and ever since he has been en-
gagged in the work of employing mel
upon his road to accomplish that
object, and on some sections he has
now employed as many as twenty
men where previously he had but
two.
We have information from a relia.
BILE source, that he had written to 8
Scotchman at Springfield to send
him any number of men, up to five
hundred-young men, if possible,
and those who would be sure to vote
the Democratic ticket. The Scotch
man showed that letter to an engin-
eer, who read it, and made known its
contents to our informant.
1t is by such means that Sloane
expects to override the will of the
people of the District. But he will
fail, Notwithstanding his efforts, for
he people of the District know him
too well to trust him.

A HAPPY allusion was made by
Gen. Gibson in his speech here on
Saturday night last. In his des-
cription of the battle of Shiloh, he
spoke of the gallant "array of brave
men who had stood opposed to the
rebel death-hail and then of the
masses arrayed in their front, with
bristling bayonets, and deadly rifles,
and slaaghtering cannon, as an array
of anything to beat Grant," charac,
ter. The same spirit annimates the
opposition now as then, but as then
they failed so will they now,for theil
leader had even declared Grant new
er was and never could be beaten,
and be would not be-

What the New of York Sun says
Horace Greeley.
The editorial in the Sun of April
18th, headed Hamilton Fish instead
of Horace Greeley as Minister to
England" !" written in answer to a let
ter from a correspondent, thus ex-
presses Mr.. Dana's opinion of Hor-
ace Greeley as a diplomatist and q
man:
After speaking ironically of Mr..
Fish, and of "greatly shaken faith
in Horace Greeley's ability to fill the
office (of Minister) satisfactorily y
he accuses Mr.. Greeley of having
contributed to the passage of the
Tweed charter. This" Mr.. Dana
goes on to say, "he did unintention
ally; though it ooked to the destruc-
ton of the Republican party, o0ith
tChich all his political hopes are ideR-
tifed," (italicised by the Times,
charging that Mr.. Greeley is ''unpos-
sessed Of any diplomatic genius what
ever" He says: 'Ifhe cannot meet
Tweed at Albany without being con
verted into a virtual and unconscious
supporter of the very cause he went
there to overthrow, how could he
hope to cope with Clarendon in Lon
don? And in his hands would not
the Alabama claims probably be set
tied to the advantage of England
alone?
AS for the free-love revelation Of
the Mcfarland trial, we do not allow
them to effect our estimate of Horace
Greeley's personal character. He
may be entangled in a position oi
seeming sympathy with free love by
the acts of designing men and women
who surround him and delude his toe
confding nature. Indeed, he mas
generally been the victim of oose i'm
posters"

IT APPEARS that the public have
been laboring under mistake in
regard to the remuneration which
Carl Schurz receives for advocating
Greeleyism. His remuneration was
stated at 5000, but it is really
$3.50, the extra $50 being charged
for wear and tear of conscience.

Sloane, Age.

One day last week, a well-knowr
Republican ofthis city was sitting
in one of our business houses read
ing. The proprietors of the house
belong to the hermaphrOdite wing
of the Democracy, and there were
present three others of the same
persuasion. They were all talking
at the Republican, but he kept on
reading and made no answer. Di,
rectly there came in an old Demo,
crat, who listened while to the talk
of the party, then taking seat be-
side the Republican he asked:
"Why don't you reply to themY"
"Oh," said he, "let them exhaust
themselves"
The old Democrat then asked:
Scan you tell me how old Sloane
isG"
Republican replied he was not in
formed.
"They tell me-" said the Dewocrat
Sloane was only four days old
when he was nominated"
"They have it too high" respond
ed the Republican, "he wasn't born
till he vas nominated"
The Democrat walked of remark
ing, however, as he retired. That's
pretty yossng candidate"
The others remained quiet, but
were fighting mad, as their glances
indicated.
That's the truth of the matter.
Sloane had never Unidentified himself
with the party which nominated him
until that time.

VERMONT has done nobly. Last
year the Democrats had two mem
bers of the Senate, this year they
have not elected any. They had
twenty seven members of the House,
now they have elected but five. Lib
eral Republicans are scarce in the
Green Mountains.

With no other class is Grant SC
strong to-day as with the working
men and the farmers of the country.
Save in rare instances, and then
where unlawful influences are
brought to bear, the mechanics in
our factories and workshops express
an unqualified preference for the
success of the Republican party.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer few
days since gave list of lawyers of
that city who would support Gree
ley. The Leader very happily re-
sponded to the lawyers by sending a
man to take a test vote in the follow.

| GRAND REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH

Every County Republican
"ScOOp EN- Up BOysF'
1900 Republican Mai.

Maine has spoken, and the country
has cause to rejoice at the result.
Firm in their allegiance to principle,
tue Republicans of that State have
shown, as the Vermont boys did, that
they have no part or lot with the
Soreheads who have been striving to
delive. the country into the hands of
its enemies. Every county in the
State has gone Republican, an oc-
currence which has not happened
but once before in the history of the
party. Every Republican Congress
man is elected by majorities ranging
from 1000 to $500. The Repubi-
cans have every Senator and four
ffths of the Representatives. If that
is not glory enough for one day, what
is it2 Horace has heard the news,
and it really begins to look as
though he were not going to carry
a single one of the free States. Ev-
cry State which has yet voted gives
Republican majority.

What sloane's Supporters used to
Think of Him.

I
What Sloane's Supporters used Il
Think of Him.
Before Sloane came to be Demo
cratic Candidate for Congress, he
used to be abused roundly by the
FiDdlay Courier, Seneca Advertiser
Messenger and others, who now
apologize for him, and abuse others
for showing up their miserable char
latan candidate. June 10th, 1869,
the Seneca AdUertiser went for him
as follows:
The c., S. s. C. R. R. has taken off most OF
its work trains. This is evidence that the
road is about "played out" This is the first
time, we understand, that it has been OBLIGED
to resort to such curtailment of expenses in
order to keep up. 1t is the general SUPPOSE
ton that the road will soon be compelled TO
change hands, or go under. This failure can
be attributed to the fact that one Rush r.
Sloane, a consummate ass, is President of the
road. 1t is evident that Sloane is occupvinp a
position for which he has not the first GuaiIf-
cation. He might do to manage train of
mules, but he is certainly out of his sphere as
President Of railroad.-JaDs 10, 1869.
Again the AdvertiSer says of him:
Our business men and manufactures will no
doubt feel gratifed to know that the Railroad
from Toledo to Crestline is a certainty. MANY
of our citizens have no idea what disadvanta-
ges they have, and even do yet labor under
from the foolish and blind policy pursued bv
the G. S. q @. Railroad. One of our business
men informs us that he now pays on a car load
of merchandise, from Sandusky CITY to Tifin.
a distance of II and 80 miles respectively.
Sl7.92, while from Cleveland to Sandusky Civ
or Clyde, distance of 81 and 75 miles respec-
lively, he pays but $1,000 per car load. So
disgusted is he by this outrageous manner of
doing business, that he proposes to start teams
to run from this city to Clyde or Fremont.aud
claims that he can save $1,000 per round trip
by the arrangement. car load is about 10
tons, five teams will carry two tons each, which
at 81 per day, would be $40. These teams
could have freight each way which would
make 20 tons per round trip. AS the same
amount of freight on the Railroad would cost
1854, it shows net profit of 1854 in favor
of the wagon lines. 1t should be tried.
And the Kenton Democrat, COPY
ing an article in regard to Sloane's
road from the Tifin Star, SAYS:
We endorse everything the Star saws in re-
gard to the contemplate meanness of the man
ayers of the c., S. & C. R.. r. There is moi a
road in the country that have as mean and
contemplate officers as this road. And. under
its present management it is fast going down
hill, and is not able to pay expenses.-Re,,to,i

ted to deny the charge that he had
charged Sandusky city $50 for send
ing up a steamer to save his own pro.

is an abstract from the official pro-

SPECIAL NOTICE TO RAILROAD MEN.

The Commercial ReUielo is authority for
the statement that the Cincinnati, Sandusky
and Cleveland Railroad, from this city south
ward, including the Findlay branch, has heen
leased to the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati
indianapolis Company for the term of ninety
nine years, practically sale of the line. This
arrangement disposes of Sloane as a railroad
magnate, and relieves our city of that burden
of ring monopoly. The new managers will
proceed to make the road one of greater i'm
portance especially for this city. Sloane has
been asking the suffrages of the people along
the line on the ground that he can do so much
for the towns through which his road passes.
he makes this appeal in the face of the fact that
his road is now to pass out of his hands for
ever. The truth is the knave wants to step
from the railroad Office to the House of Repre-.
sentatives.

CLARKsFIEED, Huron county, will
vote on the 14th of October on the
proposition to aid the New York q
Chicago Air Live road to the extent
of $4,000. Our people should can.
vass the merits of this line, as ifbuilt
it will undoubtedly touch our city
and give us that desirable luxury
a competing line to the east. 1t will
not, however, be built, unless the
country and towns through which
it is intended to pass come to itf
assistance. The company ask local
aid to the extent of $4,000, and when
that is secured will agree to enter
into bonds for the completion of the
work. There is no doubt our peo-
pie will soon be asked to vote upon
the project, and realizing, as they
must, the necessity of such a line,
we have no doubt they will respond
promptly with the desired assist
ance.

cred by note and the air was but trltie less
sulphuric than is that of the lower regions.
All things come to an end, and the engine
came pack and hooked on, in about three hours.
The train reached Tifin, and when the pas
sengers who were waiting to get on the cars
heard the reason of the delay, the air became
blue at once. So it was at Kenton, Urbana,
and all along the line:
Who was this man, that thus took posses
sion of an engine on regular passenger train
Rush K. Sloane, the President Of the @. S. 81
Q. X. R.-the man who holds the road In the
hollow OF his hand, and who is as big in a
small 1oay as Commodore Vanderbilt Of New
York.
Mr.. Sloane was right Mr. Sloane wanted to
get home, and what are the convenience and
wishes OF forty or fifty passengers that they
should weigh In the balance against his Wants5
II any one don't think Sloane was right, let
them ask any Of the delayed passengers-they
will find out. Residents of 1'iifin can inquire
of Mr.. B. 6. Atkins, who was delayed two or
three hours when he wanted to 60 West on
very imortant business.
That's one way Sloane run his
railroad before he was a candidate,
Another was to refuse to pay any
claims for killing stock or other dam
age to private property.
Now that he is a candidate it is
very different. Every person who
has ostany stock within the last
twenty years is made happy by re-
ceiving pay for the same, as soon as
they present a bill, until it is estima-
he has paid out $4,000 in this way,
in his endeavors to make friends and
secure votes. But his day Of ruling
the road, it would appear, is about
over, as the road has been based to
the c. &C. & I. Railroad, including
the Findlay branch. We clip the

THE meeting addressed by Gen
eral Gibson, on Saturday night last
in front of the Kessler House, was
an impromptu affair, only few hours
notice having been given, but it was
one of which we feel proud. 1t was
an ovation of respect to one of the
grandest orators our country has
produced, and demonstration that
the public are alive to the impor-
tance of the issues involved in the
the campaign. General Gibson's
speech was a calm and deliberate
presentation of the principles, prac-
tices and purposes of the Republic
an party, and an unanswerable argu-
ment in favor of its continuance in
power On that point, however, the
people are already determined.
