WHAT SLOANE REPRESENTS,

Mr.. Sloane does not represent
even a respectable minority of the
voters of the 10th Congressional Dis
tr;ct. He does not possess single
principle that can be called Demo
cratic, and he has given the lie to all
former professions of Republicanism.
He simply represents that great and
mighty Rush r. Sloane of whom he
is SO iond OF talking IN his speeches. In
his campaign in this county he has not
enunciated single political principle
as the groundwork of his hope that
the people will place him in a position
to make the laws by which they are
governed. His harrangues consist Of
fulsome laudations of himself snd
filthy abuse of better men. Desiring
the place of a law maker to govern
others, he has shown himself entire
ly incapable of governing himself,
but blurts out his spleen upon every
one who questions the immaculate
greatness of Rush II. Sloane.
His present position, and his ego
tisticsl harrangues;stamp him as
most stupendous fraud-devoid OF
principle, devoid of shame, devoid of
everything save bigotry, egotism,
money aud cheek.

NEPOTISM.

Nepotism is a good sonorous word,
which Mr.. Sumner takes great delight
in discharging from his mental cata-
pult sgainst the reputation Of Gener-
al Grant, who has a few relatives
who are in public employ. Mr.. Sum.
ner, less fortunate in this respect, had
il we are correctly informed, but one
relative or connection who was eligible
ss an CfficehOlder when the Republi
cans came into power, and we are in
formed, that he earnestly advocated
his appointment to lucrative position
in distant State; against the protests
of leading Republicans in that State.
Having no other relatives or con-
nection for whom office could be OBJ
tanned, Mr.. Sumner next took care Of
his personal trends. One of them
though a resident OF Cambridge, was
made Postmaster of the city of Bos-
ton another was sent as minister
Plenipotentiary to q European Court;
another was given an agreeable con-
sulate at q Mediterranean port; an
other received a lucrative appoint
ment from the Treasury Department;
and the files of the War Department
during the war show that the Senator
was as earnest in asking commissions
for his friends and the sons of friends
as be was in opposing the.promotion of
merltorious officers who incurred his
displeasure. The less Mr.. Sumner
has to say about "nepotism" the bel.
ter for his own reputation, already
sullied by descending into the dirty
arena of political intrigue, where old
Frank Blair cracks his whip as ring
master and Jim Ashley figures as
clown.

A GOOD POINT.

W. L. Campbell, Esq, in speech
before the Youngstown (ohio) Grant
and Wilson Club, tells with what
consistency the Greeley Ku-Kluxers
are now bowling for civil service re
form:
sour present civil service is one
OF those denominations we have inher-
tied from the days of Democratic
ascsndendcy. 1t was in Jackson
that the political maxim was born
that "to the victor belongs the spoils.' ,
1t was Jackson who first applied it,
time and made a clean sweep OF all
government officers from tn highest
to the lowest under his control, of all
incumbeuts politically opposed to him
The doctrine that ''to the victor be-
longs the spoils,' though earnestly
protested against when it was first
proclaimed, after that time remained
until Jencks, q Republi.
can, assailed it and demonstrated its
evils. The prscticed of rewarding
with government offices the support
ers of party, and the President,
which Jackson began, obtained with
his successors, until Grant a Repub-
lican took stand against it. How
great the sudacity of that party which
having been the author of bad doc
trine and pernicious practice at the
very moment its rival opposes itself
to the doctrine and practice, should
say, let me carry on the REFORM"

justice, in kind, st least, if not in
degree. be brought forward to tell
against him and be used with the
same class.
The absurdity and unfairness OF
the attack upon Mr.. Wilson for his
political course in 1854 55 is beauti-
fully exempliied by the way in which
the Tribune presents the suggestion
OF a like attack On Mr.. Greeley, and
brings the discussion to exactly the
point to which we wished to bring it.
II Mr.. Wilson was so desperately
wicked for v.nturing into that "tidal
wave" up to his waist, what shall we
say OF Mr.. Greeley, who went in up
to his knees? Are either of them
really any the worse for it now
They were both governed by the
some motives shall we hang one

Is HE HONEST ?

Rev. Aaron Burr Fields, Esq, in hil
speech at Chambers School-house, II
Big Lick township, last Thursday
night, said that a large majority Of the
soldiers were for Greeley. We guess
that gentleman hasnot mixed with the
soldiers very lately. The following
vote was taken Friday on the c. S. d
C. r. r. on the way to the Soldiers
Reunion at Tiffin: On the Findlay
Branch-Grant, 141; Greeley, 3D.
On the train between Carey and I1ffn
Grant, 247 /; Greeley, SO. On the
train betweenClyde and Tifiin-Grant,
334 Greeley, 7a-
And we venture the assertion that
not over one fourth OF the votes cast
for Greeley we're given by soldiers.
This is like several other assertions
that Mr.. Fields has made In doing the
dirty work OF his masters, and shows
that he either lacks good sound sense
or is politically dishonest.

CAN YOU AFFORD TO VOTE FOR
MIR. GREELEY?

Looking at our financial interest,
let every man candidly answer this
question. Are you prepared to face
those dangers which would be immi-
nent, il not inevitable, were Mr..
Greeley to be elected?
Let none believe that financial dis
aster will not affect them. Such con
vulsions ipjure labor, unsettle trade,
disturb agriculture and affect all the
relations of life. Can the laborer
sfford to become an instrument in
bringing about a state of affairs
which might diminish his opportuni-
ties for employment? Can the me-
chanic afford to aid a movement
which might close the machine shops
and manufactures, or reduce their
business? Can the farmer afford to
assist q scheme which would tend to
suspend operations in our populous
centres and thus injure the market
for his products Can the merchant
afford to discharge his obligations,
made upon a paper basis; with gold
dollar for dollsr-without warning
Can the financier sfford to countensnce
q project, headed bys visionary
whose ideas, logically conduct to
financial disaster?
II the foregoing questions can not
be affirmatively answered, then the
path OF duty and interest is clear
YOU can afford to vote for Horace
Greeley.

A PALPABLE HIT.

The present position Of some o
the Republicans who have come ou
for Greeley reminds the BostoI
Transcript of the story of an old fel-
low in New Hampshire who, what
ever bis condition, never lost the
sense of his dignity. One warn
summers day he was seated on thu
top of a stage coach which was slow
ly vending its way over the sandy
roads above Concord. Frequen,
application to his pocket flask had
rendered his position somewhat an-
steady, and at last a sudden joll
tumbled him off into the sand by the
roadside. The driver stopped, and
with aid from the passengers, he was
at last set up again in the coach, be
tween two other men, who were to
guard against recurrence of such
an accident.
Our hero looked very solemn for
a mile or two. without any remarks,
and then spoke:
81 shay, driver, We had a pretty
bad upset."
"Upset! We hsvn't upset" re-
piled the driver, little hurt at the
suggestion.
"Yes we did upset l shay We did
upshet I'll leave it to this gem
melman if we didn't upshet.' -.
The umpire decided at once against
him.
The solemn look came back to his
face. He medi,ated some minutes
and then grsvely responded:
81 shay, driver, il l had known we
didn't upset l wouldn't 'ar got on"

SLOANES COLONIES.

We have ample evidence that Mr.
Sloane is engaged in the business OF
colonizing voters along the line off'My
Road, "in every county through which
said road passes. An instance was
called to our attention q few days
since in Seneca county. Two boys
who live with their fathers on the
line of the road were employed by
the company on hand car. After
Sloane's nomination these boys were
shipped down the line into Wyandot
county, and two voters were
brought up to take their place. Mr..
Sloane well knows that majority Of
the people of the 10th District win
decide against his impudent claims
to represent them in Congress. and

scarcely reaching our airy lookout

Now, if the Courier, or any Of its
friend, or "any other man" wants to
back 1t up those figures they have
the following opportunity. A friend
authorizes US to ssy that he will take
five bets as follows: $50 that Fos-

county $50 that he will get over

that Sloane will not have 500 msjor-

will not have $50 majority in Sandus-

From the N. Y. Evening Post.
THE BOOMERANG.

The Tribune of Friday denies tina,
Mr.. Greeley did anything to aid OF
comfort the Know-Nothings,es Henry
Wilson did, seventeen or eighteen
years ago. Will Mr.. Greeley himself
say that? Will he assert that while
he deprecated the movement, and
voted against its candidates, he was
not anxious to conciliate those engag.
ed in it, to concede to them that there
was truth and justice on their side :?
He fattered himself, we have no
doubt, when that ''tidal wave" over.
whelmed politics and parties in this
state, that his way Of floundering
about in those waters was both judi
cous and graceful. Like Mr.. Wilson
he, as a politician, was impelled to
recognize movement which, for the
time being, swept every thing
before it. AIR. Wilson wsded
deeper in the muddy waiter
than Mr.. Greeley also rolled up his
trowsers snd went in. The Kingston
meeting, his organ now is pleased to
say, was an anti-Nebrasks meeting -
The Express of that date, the Know
Nothing organ, persistently claimed
it as a Know Nothing meeting. The
Tribune Acknowledges now that one
of the objects of the meeting was
additional safeguards for the ballot
box" What did that mean seventeen
years ago, but Know-NOthingism !?
Harmless as the phrase seems now,
it had a meaning then as distinct, as
positive and as unmistakable as the
now seemingly-innocent question,
"Have you seen Sam.'
Let US calm the peiturbed spirit
of our neighbor. We know very
we'll that Mr.. Greeley was not q
KNOWN othing in that sense that he
would exclude foreign-born citizens
from the privilege of the ballot. But
that Henry Wilson was is the point
that the Greeleyites want to make
against him by the charge of Know
Nothingism. If the charge does not
mean that, it means nothing, and would
not be made. Now,it is quite as unjust
when made against Henry Wilson as
1t is when made against Horace Gree
ley; and to show this was our pur-
pose. In 1864 5 we were in con-
dition of political chaos politicians
were at their wits ends; as politI-
clans they were under a sort of com
pulsion to rec ginzs olitical organ
izations of any strength, to drift with
them more or IS willingly, and to
cunningly direct them or Influence
their drift if they could, af.er the
manner OF men whose profession is
politics. They had to do this or
retire from public life as they under
stood it. Henry Wilson did it after
his way, and according to the necess-
tiles of his position. Horace Gree
ley did it, in his way, and as he
thought would most likely conduce
to the political ends he had in view.
Now, il Wilson's course then is TO be
interpreted as hostility to foreign.
born citizens now, and can be made
to tell against him with the ''foreign
element then Horace Greeley's toy
ing and dallying with the Know
Nothines, his attending a meeting
which Kuow-no.bings claimed to be
theirs, and were allowed to 80 claim
uncontradicted his approving of
resolutions which they put forward
as upholding their principles-such
toying and dallying may with equal
