THE SwINDLE EXPOSED
A Plain Twp. Farmer Speaks Out.

ED. JoURNAL:-As every voter OF Wood
county is more or less interested in the
county seat contest, l suppose as a citi-
zen and taxpayer, have rights with the
rest. have always been Bowling Green
man on that question; but when hear
the Bowling Green Ring say what they
propose to do, think it high time for me
to be on the lookout for myself, at least
attended the Republican Mass Meeting
at Bowling Green, on Tuesday, and heard
conversations among the Ring managers,
which believe they intend carrying out
and which has left an impression on my
mind that we are to be ia xsd for the Bowling
Green railroad in this way. They claim
ed that they had been to great expense in
getting railroad and had expended large
sums of money on the county seat question;
and that they were going to have levy
on the whole county, under the head Of
General Expense Fund" to reimburse
them for what they had paid out; that
they could accomplish this by process of
manipulations, and the taxpayers would
never know anything about it. When
hear such a swindle and fraud talked up
l think it time for people to open their
eyes. As for myself, you can put me down
tor Perrysburg.

Wood County Seat.

The citizens of Perrysburg have placed
the question of Public Buildings for the
county seat beyond contingency by deed
ing the fine Court House in that place to
the county. This action of the people of
Perrysburg secures the tax payers OF that
county against expense for public buildings
and gives them much better Court House
than the one at Bowling Green. In view
of the fact that the county seat is certain
to be located at Perrysburg, where it should
be, where every interest of the county, ex-
cept that of spectators in county seat
town lots, demands it should be placed, this
action of the people of Perrysburg in ad-
vance of the decision OF the voters, makos
their claim upon the tax payers very
strong one. The absurdity Of locating the
county seat of Wood county off the great
line of thoroughfare is apparent to every
disinterested person who has ever given
the subject the least attention. 1t was be-
yoDd all doubt accomplished by combi-
nation gotten up to speculate in property
and succeeded by appealing to the selfish
ness of the people who were made to believe
that they could be benefited by the change
II the voters are not now convinced that
they were deceived, it takes more time to
undeccive the average Wood county vo-
tiers than is generally reqnires to open the
eyes of a man who has been "bamboozled." !"
As there will be no expense in removing
the county seat on account of Public
Buildings, we believe that il will be chang
ed from Bowling Green to Perrysburg, by
large majority.

WKAT is ECONOMY.

Assuming that Perrysburg and Bowling
Green are equally accessiblc-thatone may
be reached as easily as the sother-vhich
is most economical, to keep the county
seat At Bowling Green, or remove it to
Perrysburg7 If it is left at Bowling
Green, according to the statements of
the County Commissioners, both the Court
House and Jail must soon be extensively
repaired, or entirely rebuilt. Structures
which would be creditable to the county,
equal in appearance, finish and substantial
character to the buildings decided to the
County by The Township and Village Of
Psrrysburg, voUld iRvolye an expenditure
of not less than $4,000 or $4,000. By
accepting the buildings at Porrysburg, the
people of the county will avoid this taxa
tion, secure new and permanent structures
free of expense, and have their county
seat at point whore il may be reached by
good wagon roads, or by railroad. In view
Of these facts, can there be a doubt as to
what course economy dictatest

A Word to Citizens OF Washington
Township.

We are surprised to learn that there are
few persons in Washington township
who think of voting against removal. We
are surprised, because the citizens of that
township can reach Perrysburg just as
easily as they can reach Bowling Green /;
because Bowling Green has always op-
posed Tontogany, while Perrysburg has
favored her; because Bowling Green
fought against the location of the County
Fair at that place and has fought the Fair
ever since it was located there, while Per-
rysburg has stood by her aud contributed
literally to sustain her In the struggle
agAinst her adversary, Citizens of Wash
ington townshi ip do not go to Bowling Green
to trade. BY keeping the county seat there,
they assist to make IL a more formidable
rival Of TontogAny than il. otherwise could
be, and thereby weaken their own township.
For these reasons--reasonS founded upon
friendship and mutual interest--we do
not see how citizen OF Washington town.
ship can justify his action in opposing
removal.

A GOOD RESULT.

In connection with the county scat con-
test, the recent session Of Court had an eX-
cellent influence. The questions of con-
venience and economy came home to the
many voters with force not before felt,
for the reason that circumstances did not
induce comparisons. A farmer in re-
mote township who was compelled to Nt-
tend Court, and who was favorable to Bowl
ing Green, figured up his expenses on re-
turning home. lie discovered that ii had
cost him twelve dollars. Hnd Court been
held at Perrysbug, he says his outlay
would not have exceeded six dollars, al
though the distance was aboutthe SAME to
either place. lie could have easily reach
ed Perrysburg by rail, whereas he went to
Bowling Green by private conveyance. 1t
is scarcely necessary to say that the loss of
six dollars opened his eyes and he is now
staunch friend OF removal.

MONEY s0UANDERED.

Recently, one Of the Bowling Green shys-
tors engaged in buying up voters, visited
Lake township and at Millbury found a
man who promised to meet him in Toledo
on certain day to receive sum Of mon
ey as compensation for his vote and innu-
ence in behalf Of Bowling Green. The
meeting took place rs arranged and the
man from Millbury received $50 in Bowl
ing Green corruption money. As il hap
pened, the man was not n citizen Of Wood
county, and soon after pocketing the mon
ey, he went to his home in another coun-
ty, taking his vote, his influence, and
the Bowling Green money with, him not to
return again. While we do not commend
the act of the transient resident at Mill
bury, it was not less honorable than the
conduct of Bowling Green's agent, who
was using money TO corrupt the bnllot-l OK.

A PROSCRIPTIyE SPIRIT.

The people Of Bowling Green and their
immediate friends have been disposed to
carry the county seat question into all
their affairs, private and public, and every
man who could not be induced to favor
their side of the county seat question, has
been prescribed and treated as an enemy
not entitled to respectful consideration or
decent treatment. Some OF the citizens of
that place even refuse to speak to man If
he is known to be favorable to removal.
All permit their political action TO be gov
erned by that all-absorbing question. In
both county conventions, the friends of
Bowling Green utterly refused to support
any man who was not known friend on
the removal question, and now when the
two tickets are in the field, they propose to
bolt and make the removal question tho
test OF mans fitness to receive their
votes. The Democratic friends of Bowling
Green have held caucus and resolved to
oppose HATFIELD and SCHROEDER, solely
because these gentlemen are suspected Of
not being as earnestly opposed to removal
Ms their opponents. They have also re-
solved to do all in their power to defeat
FRANK IIURD's nomination and election
next fall, because he is supposed to have
stock in the Toledo DemsSrat, which has
had something to say in favor of removal.
We only refer to these facts for the purpose
of showing the proScriptivs spirit preva-
lent with the active opponents OF removal.

Bowling Green and the Fair.

The friends of the County Agricultural
Society were very much disappointed and
disgusted with the conduct Of Bowling
Green and her particular friends at the
County Fair. Evidently they supposed the
Fair, without their assistance, would be a
failure. They went there fully expecting
to see a failure and prepared to charge The
same upon Perrysburg and her friends.
When they discovered their mistake, they
were unable to conceal their disappoint-
ment and modification. Bowling Green
was we'll represented in the catch-penny
Arrangements on the Fair Grounds but
che contributed substantially nothing to
the exhibition, and but for the hope that
something might be done to defeat the re-
noval Of the county seat, the receipts at
the gate would not have been increased by
their presence,

Another Imported voter skedaddlcd.

The man who stole the watch belonging
to Miss FRANZ JEFFERs, while stopping
at Mr.. WoRTH's Hotel in IInskins, on
Thursday night of last week, was one of
the men imported to vote against removal
by the Bowling Green Ring. In conver-
sation with Mr.. F. Z. MANAHAN in En-
GLIsH's grocery during the last term of
Court, he said he had been employed on
the farm of RESIN SKINNER the greater part
of the summer, with the view of voting
against removal, but that lie had asked
one of the citizens OF b. q. for the loan of
% cents that day and it had been refused
him, and he was going back on Bowling
Green-and he did. Another bad iaVest-

THE PERRYsBURG JAIL.

The Bowling Green papers persist in
the assertion that the Jail at this place
vas locked on the day on which the Court
House and Jail were decided to the county,
their object heing to create the impression
that the Jail is in bad condition. To show
how deliberately false their statements are,
let us present few facts. w. F. PoME-
ROY occupies the residence portion Of the
Jail. Mrs. P. says it was not locked on
the day referred to, and that the front door
was not even closed, except for about ten
minutes, when she was across the street on
an srrand. Several hundred persons Wis.,
tied il and know that the statement put
out by Bowling Green is false. But the
feature of this matter to which we would
call special attention, is the fact that Mr..
ORDwAY, who lives near the village of
Bowling Green, was sent here on that occa-
sion, specially charged with the duty Of
examining the Jail. He did examine It
thoroughly, inside and out, accompanied
by Metsrs. 8. SPINK and j. j. PARKS. AZ
ter giving the building a most critical ex-
animation, he frankly stated that he was
unable to discover single defect-that, to
all appearances, il il now Just as good as il
was the day Il was finished. There is no
doubt but Mr.. ORDwAY made a similar re-
port to those who sent him here OH that
occasion, and the statement, therefore, that
the Jail was locked, was a deliberate false
hood, intended to deceive voters by crea-
ting the impression that the Jail at this
place is not in good condition,

How It Works.

We have been satisfied from the begin
ming that Bowling Green would lose mere
than she could possibly make by the i'm
portntion Of voters into the county. A few
days since we met prominent citizen Of
Plain township, until recently taunch
friend of Bowling Green, who said he had
seen such evidences of fraud on the part
Of that village that he felt it to be his duty
to rebuke the men who are seeking to cor
rupt the ballot-box by voting against them
on Tuesday next. He has several neigh
bora who will do the same thing.

The Charge Openlr Made.

When at the County Fair last week, We
heard prominent Plain township farmer
openly charge that leading spirits connected
with the Bowling Green Ring stole 81 500
of the money belonging to the Independ
ent, or Bowling Green Fair Association
He mentioned names and gave such partic-
ulaS as seemed to justify the charge 1t
is quite probable, il not absolutely certain
that the money which should have been
employed in the payment of premiums,
was used at Columbus in saloons, houses Of
ill-fsme, and in the direct purchase of
votes against the Enabling Act.

Different county officers, men occupy
ing positions which enable them to know
the facts, have unbesitatingIy expressed
the opinion that II the people Of the coun-
ty understood the economy involved in
the question Of removal, they would not
hesitate to give vote for Perrysburg on
Tuesday next. When the facts are consid-
cred, there can be no doubt as to the votes
of those whose regard for the interests Of
the county is not subordidste to prejudice
and motives unworthy to influence the ac-
ton Of voters on question Of such i'm
portaRce.
