ticket, number of prominent citi-
zens invited him to deliver public
address on the politics of the day.
To this request he replies by note,
stating that it will afford him pleas
ure to express his reasons for sup
porting President Grant. He con-
continues:
81 have, as you suggest, been
placed in a position where l could
observe Gen. Grant and study the
policy of his administration. 1 have
no hesitation whatever IN affirming
that believe it to be for the best an
tefeSt Of our beloUed country that he
should continue to be its Chief Ex-
ecutive Officer for another term,
especially in view Of the safe and
steady gnancial policy achich has DIS
tingutshed his administration, pro-
tecting all the important business in
terests Of the country from any shock,
and achich could not be suddenly
changed acithout producing the most
disastrous results. Ibelieve him to
be a sincere, self-relying and just
man; above fear, and free from mer-
tied reproach in the conduct of his
Office. feel that his grand battle
won reputation is the property and
in the keeping of all the citizens OF
the Republic; and believing this,
could not retain my self.respect if
should remain silent while he is be-
ing cruelty and wantonly assaulted
and stabbed in the house Of his
friends"
These are the frank opinions of ar
honest Democrat honestly and sin
cerely expressed. During four year;
service in the House of Representa-
tives at Washington, Mr.. Axtell had
ample opportunities to study the
character of the President, and ht
expresses his convictions in no hur
ried terms but dispassionately, thaf
General Grant is "a sincere, self-ro
lying man; above fear and free from
merited reproach in the conduct O.
his great Office" Such is the mar
presented by the Republican party
to the people of the United States
as their candidate for the Presidency
Ia man indeed "without fear anG
without reproach."

AS Sloane's 'pecuniary means are

if he, too, received a draft from Fer

time.

viii wilmer do This? Hear him:

prosecuted saloon keepers might
find themselves very iEconveniently
situated before a judge who is, in ad-
vance, committed against them in
cases where damages are claimed un-
der our temperance law"
This isWilmer's argument against
Judge Greene. He is Greenes op-
ponent. His position is the opposite
of what he charges upon him, or else
his argument has no force. It is
equivalent to his saying 81 Squire
Wilmer, candidate for Probate Judge,
have no regard for the law upon the
statute book, and will not enforce,
and ifany saloon keeper is prosecu-
ted for damages I, in advance, stand
committed in his favor. and will
disregard the law and the
testimony in order to save
him from prosecution" Now
that is the sum and substance of the
whole matter, let Wilmer disguise
it as he will. He dare not have the
manliness to state his proposition
fairly, but by an indirect argument,
which can have no other deduction,
he seeks to consolidate the liquor
men upon his side, SO as to get their
votes. That's all he cares for. At
ter election, if elected, he will be the
same arbitrary, domineering, petty
king over them that he is now over a
certain class Of the Germans, whom
he believes himself born to COM
mand, and over whom he exercises
the functions of hereditary mon
arch.
Voters of Sandusky county. You
who-regard the laws of the land as
supreme authority, and to be enforc-
ed when charges under them are
sustained, can you vote for a man
who appeals to you with a virtual
pledge to disregard the law? He is
virtually pledged anarchist, for if
to secure an election, he would dis
regard one law, he would equally dis.
regard all law for a like reason. II
he would enter upon his Office with
his ermine already soiled, and his
Judicial robes bedraggled, what
could you expect of him?
You all know Judge Greene, and
that during the period of his Judge
ship, no party, or faction, or interest
of any kind, has received special ia
vor at his hands. His fairness, his
uprightness, his integrity, in decid-
ing cases adjudicated before him,
had never been questioned. He
stands before You to-day, gnpledged
to any interest, local or general, on
ly to decide cases according to law
and perform his duty under the
laws. In his hands, the interests of
every citizen will be safe, and the
law become only as it is intended to
be "a terror to evil doers." Choose
you between them.

A sympathizing friend has been
kind enough to send us a photo
graphed fac sinaiIe of TrumbulPs
little bill of Ten Thousand Dollars
against the United States, for his
valuable services in suggesting one
point in the McArdle case, which
was overruled by the court. The
bill is in. the Senator's handwriting,
and any person desiring to inspect
it may have an opportunity by call
ing upon US at any time. Mr.. Trum-
bull is an eminent reformer. He is
distressed beyond measure by al
legged Irregularities in the civil ser
vice, and the expensiveness of col
lecting our revenues. New, here is
a-little irregularity that comes.right
home to US all in that connection:
One Lyman Trumbull makes out his
bill against the United States for
Ten Thousand dollars, when he is
already paid by the United States an
annual salary of Five Thousand Dol
lars for his services. This extra
charge is forbidden In express terms
by the law. In accordance with the
teachings of Reformer Trumbnll, in
his speech which he peddles around
the country, we demand to know
why the law is broken by Senator
Trumbull, and Ten Thousand Dol
lars are drawn from the. Treasury
against laW.-StGte Journal.

own benefit. While special mail
agent, he had several farms to let
known as Route Agencies-we pre-
sumo he had more, but those are all
we have present knowledge of. One
Of them he let or secured to an indi-
vidual whose name we have, for the
modest sum of $IO0. The other he
held higher and actually made the
poor renter pay double tor it, or q
sum of 5000.
During this time he was anxious
to have his merits appreciated in
some suitable way, and like the
Great Doolittle, in his Connatty let
ters, proposed to have the route
agents contribute enough to buy him
a fine gold watch. He gave the
agent who was charged with the
business 500, and after considerable
work the agentraised the amount to
$10O. As that would not get as
good watch as Sloane desired, he
(Sloane) added $iOO of his personal
funds, and the magnificent present
was provided. That was another
way of farming in order to get
ground rent"
When a vacancy occurred in the
office of Supervisor of Internal Rev
enue, a certain gentleman whose
name we have, but whom we shall
call D., desired to secure the appoint
ment and called upon Mr.. Sloane to
obtain his influence. He stated his
case, when the gentle Sloane expires
sed his regrets that he had not called
sooner. A Cleveland gentleman he
said, had besought his influence, anG
offered him $500 to secure the Office
for him. He would rather use hi;
influence for D., and have him get the
office. He then asked for $3.50 fo1
expenses to Washington, &c., and
said he would expect the balance i
he succeeded in getting the appoint
ment for D. D., paid the $3.50 and
that was the last he heard of it OF
the office.
These are a few items which
Sloane knows about farming. He
don't tell of them, however, but
would rather keep the kn )wledge tc
himself. They are not all he knows
nor all that others know, but enough
to commend him to the Democracy,
whose candidate he now is. He i:
spending great deal of money tc
secure his election, expecting to gel
it all back with good interest, from
the offices he will have to farm out
when elected. His ideas of civil
service reform are singularly Sloan.

SLOANE has a colony of men at
work at Vsnleu, Hancock County,
where he previously had but a few
men. His colonizing will not avail,
however. One honest old Democrat
in that vicinity knowing the facts,
and despising the principle, has de-
clared he would make every one OF
those colonists' votes count two
against Sloane, by working among
his neighbors. And he'll do it.

Masks and Faces.-Ladies who mask
their faces and necks with enamels endanger
their health to no purpose. The plaster work
deceives nobody. There is but one article
known which will restore blemished com
plexion or create external brilIiancy and bloom
where they have never heretofore existed, and
that article is HAGA Ms MAGNOLIA BALM. It
performs this toilet miracle by iafusing vitality
into the skin. The floral and herbal juices of
which it is composed gently stimulate the cir
culation in the minute blood vessels, and brace
the network of nerves through which they
pass. Thus quickened and strengthened the
external covering soon acquires a fresh and
healthful hue, and every trace of sallowness
disappears. The palest cheeks derive from
the beautifying baptism of this delightful cos
metic warmer hue, aud the arms, hands and
neck, a blonde lustre which the charlatans,
who profess to make ladies @beautiful forever"
with thsir poisonous cement can never hope
to initiate,

one place it charges that he refused
to allow Fostoria to subscribe one
cent to extending the L. E. & L. R.
T., to Lima; but fails to tell that
Fostoria, years ago, had aided in
completing the road to Findlay, and
had already aided the road to as
great an extent as any other point.
1t then tries to make apoint against
him, with the Hancock county peo-
pie, by saying that he is trying to
secure the T. & C. R. R., at Fostoria
at the expense Of Findlay. The
Fostoria people may make the same
charge against Findlay. But it
would be silly-as silly as the Cou-
rier's twaddle. Every man labors
to advance his own business, unless
he is drone, and every city or town
if it has any nerve, does the same,
and endeavors to secure every ad-
ditional outlet it can, for its bust
ness interests. 1t is a praiseworthy
feature, and that man is simply
childish who would attempt to ap-
peal to the public after the fashion
of the Courier. It's too thin. tits
skim milk. Let Findlay help her
self and she will find no fault with
the energy Of prosperous neighbor.
But the Courier descends to one
of its meanest lies in the following:
We have had some experience,
first in trying to raise subscriptions
of stock, and then to carry a vote
for a tax, to complete the L. E. &
L. Railway to Lima, and the great
est obstacle to overcome was the
charge all along the line that the
people of the county who had origin
ally subscribed and paid their share
in the road, had been outrageously
swindled out of the same by the
managers of the road; of whom
Charlie Foster was one of the chief
operators. Is this one of the reasons
why they ought to vote to elect
Charlie to Congress.
There is not a word of truth in
the above, SO far as it applies to Hon.
Charles Foster. Mr.. Charles Foster
aeUer otcned a dollar of the stock of
the road until he circumvented
Sloane in his effort to get possession
of the road. But when he was ap-
preached by Sloane, who assured
him he had purchased all the bonds
in the East, and was asked by
Sloane to help him purchase those
held in this vicinity, in order to car
ry out his project of depriying Ere
mont Of the road, Mr.. Foster started
at once to New Haven, Conn, and
purchased the $4,000 bonds held
there, in order that the majority be-
ing held at this end could defeat
Sloane's intended raid upon the
raad. 1t afterwards turned out that
Sloane lied about the purchase of
the bonds held in the East, as he al
SO lied to the Eastern holders when
he represented to them that he had
purchased the bonds held there,
And that he never actually owned a
dollar, but was only negotiating for
their purchase, at the time when he
claimed he had purchased them.
That was only about four years ago,
Charlie Foster never was a manag-
er of the road, until the present year,
and the energy with which the road
is being pushed forward this year,
may well be attributed to that fact.
The Courier should at least have a
little regard to truth, and not lie so
outrageously upon a subject which
is SO well understood.

When Horace Greeley wrote his
book upon Agriculture in which he
undertook to instruct the farming
population on the subject, he did a
Dig thing, but probably did not do
so big a thing as if he had left his
book unwritten.
Sloane understands the subject of
farming thoroughly, but he don't
tell what he knows about it. On the
contrary 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 had
been paying him Farm Rent" let's
out the secret.

came the great dispenser of political
patronage in the Northern District,
