The Toledo Sunday Journal indulges
in little mention OF Wood county
politics in which Wood county editors
seem to figure conspicuously, as will be
noticed by the following:
Editor Blue, of the Perrysburg Jour.
nal, is in training for the legislature to
succeed Little Bennie James. Mr..
Blue is we'll known in this city, having
ut one time been foreman OF the Sum
day Journal. He may have some oD-
position in Charley Saxby of the Yves.
ton Herald, but the predictions are
that Blue Is carrying the Republican
nomination for representative from
Wood county around in his inside
pocket.
After Saxby reads the above he will
probably regret his objection to our
being annexed to Lucas county" But
Charley should renew his faith and
hope, as we have just examined our
''inside pocket" ana find neither the
"Reputlican nomination" therein, nor
the necessary SIS with which to jolly
the delegates.

RELEASED HIM.

The campaign against the cleo
ton of a man to the Council VINO
is under secret pledge to secret
society seems to have been efec-
tual. The American League has
rescinded its action on this mat
ter, and released its candidate, d.
B. Smith, from his 'castiron"
pledge.
This is a step in the right direc-
ton, and removes a large measure
of the objections so justly urged
against his candidacy. Now if the
League will abandon its untenable,
unpopular and un-American posi-
ton as secret society, and throw
its deliberations open to the public,
it will greatly strengthen its stand
ing and its claims, and will COM
mend itself to the confidence and
favor of all good and loyal annexa-
tionists the islands over. Such a
course would represent a wise and
patriotic compromise, in the inter
ests of party strength and har-
mcny.
