TRAER CORRESPONDENCE.


Toledo for the first time for several years.
Being busy at the Republican Convention
had not time 10 look about your busy
town as much as desired, but was well
pleased to see an e -iden1e or your thrift in
the new brick b. .ldings that grace your
streets; and when your new hotel shall
have an occupant that knows how to keep
hotel, you will then have what Toledo
has long been much in need of. II was
my good fortune TO meet many old ac-
quaintances On the street and in The con-
veption, not only old acquaintance, but
old settlers in the County. The first thing
that struck me was that they had grown
old-shose who were middle aged twenty
years ago. Had met them frequently
during that time, would not have notic
ed age creeping over them. Those who
recognized me probably t..ossis Iwa tAc
one who was growing old. So I ali with
them, and twenty years hence few or none
of US will meet in Toledo at convention,
as We did twenty yeas ago andalso last
week Ofthe old settlers whom ! met
and had not seen for a long time, was Ira
Taylor, Geo. Raines, NC. Wietins, 3. A.
Hall, John Ramsdel, F. Helm, A. N.
Poyneer, Ed. TapIin, q T. shJsart, A.
Tompkin5, and il few others. Long may
| they live and prosper.
The convention was large and bust
ness body aad .he result Of iheir labors
commends Them to the County. The Re-
publicans have concluded 10 have entire
| control Of The County offices, Why should
they not? being in iue majority we are re-
sponsible for the County business, why
then not do the business ourselves?
The representatives of the eighty Green
back voters of Tama County met ana die
tated aticket for the free and indepcnd-
cnt democracy. The democrats met and
ratified The ticket thus selected. II is said
the army of Flanders swore terribly on a
certain occasion. 1t must have been tall
swearing to have been incorporated in
history. Sill swearing had not reached
the point OF being considered fine art as
at this day. Howard on his return from
( the sale and delivery Of the democratic
party ssoore some. Had that army in
Flanders heard him they would have quit
the business in disgust, but he viii vote
the ticket. towards don't swear Dut ne
/ speaks occasionally and keeps up con-
slant thinking. He says the Republicans
