Cruelty to animals!
Here IS the Fremont Journals
showing Of the honesty Of the great
and good reformer, and Seneca COun-
tv freight robber, "HOn." Rush R.
Sloane:
WHAT SLOANE ''KNOws ABOUT
FAR1TING.u - When Horace Greeley
wrote his book upon Agriculture in
which he undertook to instruct the
farming population on the subject, he
did q big thing, but probably did not
do so big a thing as II he had lett MS
book unwritten.
Sloane understands the subject Of
farming thoroughly but he don't tell
what he knows about it. On the con-
trarv he withholds all knowledge OF
the matter, and the only way you
can get to understand what he knows
about it, is when some one who has
been paying his farm rent lets cut the
secret.
Rv somehook or crook Sloane be-
came the great dispenser OF political
patronage in the Northern district,
or a portion of it, and like all others
he manipulated his position to his
own benefit. While special mall
agent. he had several farms to rent
known as Route Ageneies-we pre-
sume he had more, but those are all
we have present knowledge of. One
of them he let or secured to an indi-
viduaI whose name we have, for the
modest sum of 500. The other he
held higher and actually made the
Door renter pay double for it, or asum
Of $500.
During this time he was anxious TO
have his merits appreciated in some
suitable way, and, like the great Doc
little. in his Connatty letters, prOpOs-
ed to have the route agents contrib
ute enough to buy him a fine gold
watch. He gave the agent who was
charged with the business SD, and
after considerable work the agent
raised the amount to 500. As that
would not get as good watch as
Sloane desired, he (Sloane) added
S1OO of his personal funds, and the
MAGNIFICENT present was provided.
That was another way of farming IN
order to get ''gTOund rent"
When a vacancy occurred in the Of
| flee of SupervisOr of Internal Reve-
nue.. a certain gentleman whose name
we have. but whom we shall call D.,
/ desired to secure the appointment ana
called upon Mr.. Sloane to obtain ms
/ Influence. He stated his case, when
the gentle Sloane expressed ms regrets
that he had not called sooner; A
Cleveland gentleman, he said had pc
sought his influence, and onered MN
$500 to secure the Office for MIN. be
would rather use his influence Tor D.,
and have him get the office. he then
asked for $50 for expenses to Wash
ington. etc., and said he would expect
tbe balance if he succeeded in getting
the appointment for him. d. paid the
$50 and that was the last he heard OF
it or the Office.
These are a few items which Sloane
knows about farming. He don't tell
of them. however, but would rather
keen the knowledge to himself. They
are not all he knows nor all that
others know, but enough to commend
himself to the Democracy, whose
candidate he now is. He is spending
a great deal of money to secure his
election, expecting to get it all back
with a good interest, from the oInces
he will have to farm out when elect
on His ideas of civil service reform
are siugularly Sloanish in practice
however Theoretically fine they may

SIoan-Trumbull speech. what DO
vou think Of Sloane as farmer!
Then the Register cruelty says;
SLOANE, STAND UP!-You are the
candidate for the sO-called reform
party for Congress. You pretend. tC
he Mortified at the alleged corruption
of the present administration. HoI
, talk gliblv of the civil service reform
= AS a candidate we have right TO ass

2 seek. Our first question is this: Dl'
Won or did YOU not receive SO IN cur
! Tencv and a note of hand for SO, 10
! the appointment of Ans. White a
e route agent on the Sandusky, Mans

: truth if you know how.
Again the Register:
9 SLOANE. THE CONvERT.-We nav
o before us a letter written by Rus
, Sloane to J. B. Rothehild Of Findlay
a well-known Republican of Haneoc
:, conntv in which the child of natur
: EXPRESSES great anxiety for the nom
h ination of a reliable Republican 10
n Congress in this district. This lette
Y is dated July IL, 1872, and shows tins
i at that date Rush professed to De
" Republican. Rush may be sharp, o.
,e he writes too many letters, and talB
too much to save himself from tn
eontempt of honorable men. Demo
Gratis can see the letter by calling
this Office.
= Again the Register says:
i How NOBLE Is TO BE PAID.-SlOar
A has convinced Warren P. Noble th'
l. Greeley is to be elected, ana that II 8
.h ne Sloane, will have an immense II
/. iuenee with old Chappaquaek. IN
rs influence he is to use to secure a 10
IS eign mission for Noble. Warren
y Noble is q gentleman and a man
a honor. Being such he desplses SioaI
t. as heartily as we do, and yet ne q
c. Iiberately sells himself to the mo-
le corrupt man in the district, the pri'
rs to be a foreign mission. Sloane HI
or nrivatelv admitted that Greeley HI
le No chance. and that he talks Greel'
IN to keep the democracy in the trace

lis The Clyde Independent, (nOn-poli
en- ical, says:
~ crush Sloane is already cOlOnizil
ng voters. He has brought into ii
e district large number Of voters, al
II locating them along his road.
e1 course these men are not entitled
al vote in this district and only run I
~ risk of being arrested, tried, convi'
,SIe ed and punished. Rush Sloane shOu
Oy be the victim, but he will manage
have some poor man who is less gu
ty than himself morally. These m
are put along the road under prefer
IN that they are to work as section me
*, etc. They are brought along j
ter thirty days before election. If Ri
n Sloane dares deny that he is frauC
ell Iently eolonizing voters the swC
ity proof will be produced. This is
-is- reform candidate for Congress. v
lty honest men vote for such a man :
