The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1872-08-15

which made it necessary for Mr.. No
bic to seek other pastures to feed upon
and other influences to assist him in
his fight for himself and against
Armstrong. Noble knew that
SLOANE
had sworn vengeance against Mr..
Foster, the Republican candidate
knew that ne had declared he would
defeat our Representative at all haz-
ards. He knew this from the fact
that
SLOANE
had intimated to Noble that he was
ready to assist the latter, should Mr..
Foster be nominated by the Repub-
lieans after
SLOANE
had entered his protest against it.
Mr.. Noble went to see this honorable,
upright gentlemen and
SLOANE
fell I'm with Mr.. Mobiles ideas at once,
and entered into bargain to assist
Noble 10 the nomination and help
elect him, assuring the latter that he,
SLOANE,
had S1O,0 to use in beating Mr.. FOs-
ter. Here ends the first chapter.
In the meantime Mr.. Armstrong
was not idle. He is an untiring work.
er, and with his friends worked up the
District so that it looked to the OppO-
sltion party that hewas in a fair way
TO succeed. This necessitated a diff
ferent move on the part Of Mr.. Noble.
It would not do to let Armstrong have
a pOssiblechance Of winning. Now
comes the second chapter.
Mr.. Noble went to see
SLOANE,
and stated the case to him. For some
reason, the gentlemen was not appar-
emily so hot for Noble, as he had been
on the occasion of the first interview.
Noble could not understand it at first,
and was somewhat dashed. The rea-
son cropped out, however, after short
conversation.
SLOANE,
we infer from what resulted, had
been thinking over the matter and his
wonderful selishness, had suggested to
him, that il he was to spend money he
might as well have a finger in for
the results it brought forth, as to give
it al to some one else. Up to the time
this happy thought struck
SLOANE
he was for Grant, but as he is always
for himself first, he concluded that he
could embrace Greeley with the great
estjOy. He wanted chance to run
for Congress. This was gradually i'm
parted to Noble, and q new arrange
ment was entered into. The bargain
was like this
SLOANE
agreed TO continue TO assist Noble as
he had previously done, with the
promise that if Noble could hot sue
ceed,
SLOANE
was to be the second choice, and all
their united force in the convention
waste be given TO the latter. In the
vine previous to the Convention,
SLOANE
was to discover the corruptness Of Gen.
Grant, and come out for Greeley.
This ends the second chapter.
From this time Mr.. Noble went to
work in good faith to carry out the ar
rangement with
SLOANE,
hoping to get the nomination, but
With renewed determination that
Armstrong should not have it. At
the same time, the gentleman for
whom this article is intended,
SLOANE,
commenced the execution of his part
Of the agreement-Only he forgot that
Noble was entitled to anyeonsideration
in it. He began cutting Mobiles throat
at once and arranging matters solely
in his own interest. He got his men
to work for him, addressed the Demo-
cratic Convention in Erie county tax
ing Greeley grounds, and fully ar
ranged for his own nomination. This
ends the third chapter.
The fourth chapter is very short, and
has point that the most obtuse
will appreciate.
SLOANE
wanted another string to his bow,
How did he attempt to get It? Now. |
bear in mind, that
SLOANE !
was in honor bound to stick by Noble |
and what we have to add shows what
manner of man
SLOANE
Is. He wrote letter to w. W, Arm
strong, of this city, wishing to enter
into q bargain with him, and stating
that he (Sloane) had been a Noble
man but wished to transfer his SUD.
port to Armstrong. What steps the
latter took in the matter it is not i'm
p0rtsnt to state in this article, even II
we knew.
The fifth chapter embOdies the NOM
inatiOn Of
SLOANE,
at Fremont, Of which it is not neces-
sary to speak.
This history is worthy of the coolest
at the hands Of every
voter in the District who has a spark
Of honor. It explains who was sold,
how they were sold, and by whom
they were sold. It shows that
SLOANE
is a man devoid OF honor and that in
a high position he would unquestiOn-
ably be as ready to sell out the higher
interests of the people as he has been
to sell one or two candidates and
Convention.
