A s1naneish Cana

A Sloaneish Game.
On Friday evening last, when the
train from the east arrived, the dis
tinguished manipulater of Trum-
bulls Speech, the Hon. Rush R.
Sloane, attended by an individual
who writes his name John Hog o 4
might have been seen allghting from
a second class coach, and careering
in pride upon the platform. They
were bosom friends up till that mo-
ment, when a secession took place
and John proceeded to the Cooper
House and registered his distin-
guished cognoman after a style Of
hyerogliphics not altogether Han.
cockian. Rush betook himself to
the Ball House, where he registered

dent who could leave a whole train
load of passengers lying at Clyde
while he pompously obliged the en-
gineer to switch his locomotive an6
carry him to Sandusky, should
come here unannounced by great
flourish of trumpets. Yet it was
nevertheless SO, and it so happened
that the Hon. R. R. S., escaped be,
coming the observed of all observ-
ers."
Later in the evening the matter
was explained when man about
his size and general appearance
might have been seen making his
way toward the Court House, his
hat pulled down over his eyes and
evidently desiring to escape recogni-
tion. He didn't stop at the Court
House, however, but kept on till he
reached the corner of State Street,
where a back entrance gave him ad-
mittance to the rear room of sa-
loon.
Rush used to be a te-totaller, and
didn't spend cent for lager or any
other compound of a liquid order

cund appearance, and his nasal or
CANA Nasbyish hue, which may help
to explain his side entrance into the
aforesaid saloon.
They had jolly time there, We
are told, and lager was poured out
like water-just as freely, we mean,
and oysters were served in abund-
ance and hugely enjoyed. If Gratz
Brown couldn't stand "buttered
watermelon" and "soft shell crabs"
but had to go and get sick at New
Haven, for a slight indulgence,
Rush's participation in similar in-
gradients ought to have been fol-
lowed by serious consequences, that
is, considering that like causes pro-
duce like effects on like subjects,
both having been liberal to them
selves) Republicans. But Rush
stood it like "little man." and new
er even complained Of headache, or
nausea, or weak knees, though oblig-
ed to perigrinate often. His adapt
ability to the situation was immense.
But what commentary upon the
man and his followers. He was
ashamed to meet them by day, and
chose the night time that he might
do so and escape observation, pour
lager down their throats, stuff them
with oysters, and then claim that he
had purchased them and they were
his to do his bidding. Is it posi-
BILE these men have sold out so
cheap2 Or is it as one Of them told
us recently, "That it would nothave
been fair to nominate an honest
Democrat and have him spend his
money and afterwards be defeated; +;
but Sloane has money to spend, and
we'll let him spend it,"
"Jes' sow He is spending it.
Rush left in the morning, but
John remained during Saturday, to
work among our Irish citizens. He
left in the evening with the impress
sion that cit was all right for Sloane" /"
The 9Th of October will tell how
right.
