ring at their own expense, assisted
by some of the same kind of a
ring" at Newport, made an exhi-
bition of the county's products at
the Portland exposition two years
ago. The same ring has conducted
the city affairs of Toledo since it
has been incorporated and so out
rageous has been their conduct that
they have actually kept the city
out of debt and have accumulated
several hundred dollars in the city
treasury. In matters political this
ring has never, to our knowledge,
taken any part only as individuals.
Only one member of this Toledo
ring has ever held office in the
county. This is the present county
clerk, and we are proud to class
him as member of the ring, for he
is one to whom an appeal is never
made in vain to help along any
object or enterprise that will help
the county or any part thereof.
The services rendered the county
by this member of the ring and the
pay received therefor, is a matter
of public record that any citizen o.
the county is at liberty to investi-
gate.
Even in this year of hot cam
paigns, the Toledo ring has secured
only two county nominations on all
OF the tickets, while some Of those
who hate the ring SO hail from
precincts that have no less than
six.
This same RING is striving to get
the county seat permanently located
at Toledo. 1t is doing this because
they believe that it would be to the
advantage OF the county to have it
located here. They believe that
the place is more accessible; that it
will accommodate the greater num-
bet Of people at Toledo than at any
other place. This ring is not
backed in their fight for county
seat by any foreign capitalist, town
lot boomer, national banker, nor
even bursted banker, but is max
ing clean, honorable fight for it.
1t hopes and believes that it will
win its fight.
But the people should know, and
are rapidly finding out that this
blatant cry of ring is only made to
hurt Toledo in the county seat
contest. But the time has now
come 10 have straight talk on this
matter. The people are tired of
this cry of ring" from every hack
that has personal interest TO fur
ther. If there is really a ring let's
spot them once for all.

SOMETHING ABUoT RINGS.

those opposed to Toledo for county
seat is that there is a ring" at To-
ledo which they want to down.
Then they turn in and in general
terms curse and swear and malign
the ring" until they are out of
breath. They are very particular
never to particularize on the ring"
because then they might get caught
and pinned down to something def
mite. But it is very easy matter
to look virtuous and denounce a
mythical ring" or combination.
To do this gives the hearers an i'm
preston that the denoumcer is a
very virtuous man, and at the same
time very wise one.
But there is serious side to this
matter that is worthy of considera-
tion at this time. Is there ring"
or combination of persons OF any
kind or character at the county-seat
to further their own interests to the
hurt or injury of the county, or is
this cry Of ring" being made by
interested parties just to raise a
smoke in order to hide their own
ulterior designs? We most emphat-
ically declare that there is no ring
in Toledo, and in making this de-
claration we ask and defy anyone
interested in our county to show
any real AMI tangible evidence of
such combination. We ask them
to show it by the records of the
county, by the returns of last cleo
tion, or by the direct evidence of a
single credible citizen. If anyone
can do this we confess that we have
been mislead and deceived. But
let the party who attempts to make
this proof come squarely out with
the men, their names and their acts,
and at the same time submit his
proof. For that kind of a publica-
ton we will furnish ample room
and stand the risk of all damage
suits. If there be a ring at Toledo
Of the kind named now let us have
straight arraignment of them and
their actions. Any coward can go
around and defame men or places;
and when a man makes a charge of
that kind and refuses to substau-
tiate it, it does not take brand on
that person to tell what his distin-
gushing characteristic is. Ifthere is
such ring at Toledo there is not a
man in the county that can be in
duced to fight it more bitterly than
the LEADER can and will.
But if by this wholesale charge of
"ring" it is meant that the people
Of Toledo work together and pull
together for the common good, then
we plead guilty and ask for no
mercy. There is such a ring in
Toledo. We are proud to admit it,
and we are also proud to say that
in so far as our ability and circum-
stances admit of, we are a first de-
gree member. And this is the ring
that has done some very peculiar
things in the county. Look on
every public subscription that has
been gotten up for the benefit of the
Bay country and you will find
the leading members of this Toledo
ring down on it for good amounts;
on the Fall creek and Mill creek
road this same ring" expended
$500 in money and $500 in labor;
this same "ring" has borne large
part of the expense of opening the
Wright's creek road; with their
own efforts this ring" opened up a
road from Dundon bridge to Toledo,
and the same ring is now at work
opening up road across Olalla,
and county-seat or no countv-Seat

California.

Every Wednesday and Saturday at
6 p. m. train leaves Chicago over
the famous Santa Fe route, which
makes the run to Southern California
in less than three days. This train is
composed of Pullman palace vestibuled
sleeping cars, buffet smoker and din
ing car of the most luxurious pattern
ever designed.
Another Improvement in the Santa
Fe service is in the time of the weekly
tourist excursions, which now leave
Boston every Thursday at 11:30 a. m,
and reach California the following
Tuesday. The cost of tickets Is lower
and the time faster via these excur-
sions than via any other.
The Santa Fe route is the only line
running entirely over its own tracks
from Chicago to California, and those
who intend making trip west will find
it to their advantage to communicate
with S. W. Manning, New England
Agent of this line, at 1872 Washington
