seat we must have a raiirsad, and 10 keep the
people worked up to this, that their interest In
an enterprise Of this kind may net lag, there
are meetings being held semi.accasionaily.
There is one OF this kind being held at Portage
this evening, aud quite a number ei our c,ti-
zons have gone there 10 attend. We haye not
given up all hopes yet by any means, although
the news from Toledo few days since pu,
quite damper on our spirits. We expect
much better news before many more days pass
over our heads.
You no doubt havea report Of the proceed
ings of the convention Of last Saturday, there
fore I will not dwell on that. Suffice II 10 yny
hat all are well pleased with tie nominee II The
convention, unless II be few who only think
Of county seat strife. Some think that there
was one resolution adopted that was uncallsd
for, and there are others who think that some
other resolution was uncalIed for, and by th'
time you get around, we are afraid you woulC
not find any resolutions left, IL those wOr'
stricken out that are thought. by certain indyi
duals, as supOrfuous. We never saw NOR
harmininus convention in every particular.
The protrasted meeting still continues witt
increasing interest

The Republican Convention.

By the proceedings published elsewhere
in this paper il will be seen that the Re-
publican Convention that assembled at
Bowling Green on Saturday last, to select
delegate to be elected to represent the in
terests of Wood county in the Constitution
al Convention, was harmonious throughout,
and unanimous in its selection of Hon.
ASHER Cook for this responsible position.
That the wishes of the people have been
well represented in this SEE otion, need not
be stated by US. That the best interests OF
the County and State will be protected in
manner that will be credit to our Rep
resentative and his constituents, we have
no cause for doubt. Let our people Of
the county see to it that his election be
made as near unanimous as possible.

Judge sherman's Expose.

Judge CHARLES T. SHERMAN, OF Cleve-
land appeared before the Ways and Means
Committee at Washington last week, and
presented his promised explanation for de-
manding of the New York Stock Exchange
a fee of $4,000 for his alleged services in
securing the repeal of the Bankers tax.
As there are some who thought the res
olutions passed in our County Convention
last Saturday, censuring the Judge for his
conduct were uncalled for, we give below
two of Mr.. SHERMAN's own versions of the
unhappy position in which he has placed
himself
Desiring to secure the $4,000, he wrote
to Mr.. LOCKWOOD as follows:
"I want to work, had interviews with Mr..
Boutwell,, With John Sherman, Chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee, with Gen. Garfield
and other prominent FINANCIAL members of Con-
Qress, and the result was that il became The
policy Of the administration to repeal not only
the tax in question. but the stamp and other OBJ
nnxiuus taxes. ! think this result was brought
abuut by discussion raised aud iufueDces used
by me-"
The purpose Of this letter is clear apd un-
equivocai. 1t sough. to procure from the New
York Stock Exchange fee for services which
the writer claimed to have rendered.
In his swsrn statement before the Ways and
Means Committee, Judge SHERMAN says;
IL will state that was not in Washington
last winter, DOR have been in the city for more
than three years until last week. | will state
further that in my letter to Mr.. Lock wsod
alluded to Senator Sherman and Gen Garfield,
because in my instructions 10 my friends in
Washington, TO whom ! gave the business.
named those gentleman as the persons in whose
custody the papers mighb be found, that would
show the points made and the arguments used
by the Revenue Department, and assert, with
perfect confdance IN its truth, that | never
spoke word or wrote a letter or argument, OF
caused one 10 be written, to Senator Sherman oy
Gs neral Garfield on that matter OF any ether
that had or might come before them in their
legislative capacity"
II our readers can devise any comment
after comparing the above statements tha
will relieve Judge SHERMAN from tht
odium resting upon him, we hope such re.
lief may be given him.
We hope to see every convention that
may assemble for the next year, from Main
to California, express in betting terms Of
censure the corruption that has been un'
earthed in this "the winter of our discon.

To Every Freemaaon.

90 the first nf April, we shall commence the
Forty third volume Of our grand old Monthly
the Oldest, the cheapest, the best Of Masonic
Monthles.
Every craftsman feels he need Of standard
work, devoted 20 the interests Of Masonry. As
well can the Merchant. Lawyer, Physician,
Farmer, or Politician, do without a Paper as an
exponent Of his profession, as the active aud
faithful FrsemasoR, do without the old and
reliable MASONIC REVIEW. Il brings,
treasured in its pages, the choicest gems of Ma
s'nic Literature, tradition, history, jurispru-
dence, INTERESTING correspondence, valuable
editorials, and tidings frnm the Workmen every
where. II 10 indispensable to every Freamason.
and valuable and interesting to his family.
To obviate all complaints Of hard times and
high prices, We have concluded to reduce the
price Of the Review, from and AFTER that date, TO
81 so to single subscribers.
To encourage brethern everTwher IN making
up clubs for the ensuing year, beginning with
ums:
For club of Ave, at 81 90 each, a copy of
Hand Beck, worth 81 90.
For club Of ten copies. at $40 each, a
Lambskin Apron. worth 1900
For club Of fifteen. at $500 each, a silk vel
'ct cOilhT, WORM % W.
For club Of twenty. at $500 each, a Past
Masters Jewel, worth So 90.
For club of twenty five, at So 90 each, the
magnificent full chrome of Washington, worth
$40 90.
This list is new work, and must not be
cnnfounded with the former pictures. Il Is
much larger and mere fiurly flashed, and we
knew Of nothing 50 appropriate To ornament the
walks OF lodge room. Every lodge should
have a copy.
For a club Of l25, at $500 each, we offer a
line new parlor organ, suitable for the lodge
room, werth SIPS 90.
These clubs should be in, IL possible BY the
20 h OF March, that W. may know how large an
edition to print OF the new volume. Now for
work !
These prices are lower than ever before, but
we trust the Graft. approaching our effnrt to
furnish the REVlBW at almost cost. will use
their efforts to greatly enlarge its circulation.
PROMPT EFFORT.
We trust some brother in every lodge will o.,

moro shall receive an extra copy.
