The difficulty experienced in secur-
ing candidates for the village council
demonstrates the fact that the office
has long ceased TO be one OF honor to
the mem Der holdiug the position, and
in consequence no person who has had
any experience in That line is desirous
OF taking a second term. OF late years,
no matter who the councilman may be,
or how hard he may labor for the peo-
pie !; no matter how earnest his endeav-
ors or how honest his intentions, he is
accused Of iobbery, and robbery; of
being boodler and OF using the Office
for his personal gain. We have heard
just such statements made concerning
men whom we believe to be the embodi-
ment OF honesty and faithfulness. The
people of Perrysburg, as a rule, have
too little faith in the honesty OF man
kind In general, if their criticisms of
their public officials is any criterion by
which TO judge. AS yet we know of no
other town where the unpaid public
oInClalS are SO thoroughly abuSed and
so unjustly criticised as here, and too,
this criticism many times comes from
people who do not pay one cent in tax
alton. The Republican and Democratic
Committees found it very difficult

present candidates with one exception)

little more just and generous in their

will soon be impossible to get anyone of
