It is safe to say that every Toledoan

There are larger cities in the country,

Having just returned from tour of
several of the western states including
a visit to the Omaha exposition the
JOURNAL is prepared to fully endorse
the above statement: and we not only
observed that there is only one Toledo,
but made the further discovery that
there is only one Ohio, and that 1t

their great corn belts; their grazing
lands and may produce their fine Spring

Republicans of Wood county must
not forget that the opposition has de-
termined upon ''still hunt" campaign,
which is their best manner of doing
effective work in Wood county. 1t
therefore behoYes every Republican
to see his neighbor and make sure that
his mind has not been prejudiced
against the Republican candidates by
reason of false stories set ahoat by their
enemies, and that every person who
will vote the Republican ticket is at
the polls early on election day, 1t may
be just as we'll to acknowledge that the
Republicans of Wood county have
much at stake. 1t is true, we never
had better ticket in the field, and
there is no doubt of its election, but
the vote cast in Wood county is not
alone cast for our county ticket, and,
therefore, every voter should be up
and using his greatest efforts in getting
out the entire vote and getting his
Democratic friends TO vote with him.

The Scientific American gives this
receipt: AT the appearance of diph-
iberia in the throat of child, make
the room close; and then take tin
cup and pour in it quantity of tar and
turpentine of equal parts. Then stir
the contents with a red hot iron so as
to fill the room with fumes. The little
patient on inhaling the fumes Will cough
up and spit out the membraneous mat
ter and the diphtheria will pass out.
The fumes of the tar and the turpen-
tine loosen the matter in the throat,
and thus afford relief that has baffled
the skill of physicians.

Some Of the Democratic newspapers
are saying that Hon. James Fl. South
ard is not as strong a man as should
represent the Ninth district in Con-
gress. Well, suppose this statement to
be true, does anybody suppose for mo-
ment that his opponent, Mayor Neice,
the Democratic candidate for Congress
would be any improvement? Does Mr..
Neice possess the necessary ability to
cut much of a figure in the halls OF Con-
gress? Has he at any time in his life
shown himself 10 be capable of perform
ing the duties of a statesman? Does
anybody suppose that an inexperienced
man, one who knows nothing of law,
and not any too much OF business, will
render better service to the people, as
a congressman, than lawyer who has
had the advantage of the experience
gained by four years service in Con-
gress? Certainly not! The idea is
ridiculous, Vote for Southland, of
course.

The opening meetings of the Repub-
lican campaign in Wood and Lucas
counties have been very we'll attended
and the enthusiasm shown indicates
that the Republicans are awake and
taking active interest in the campaign.
There is no time for quibbling or hair
splitting, but every Republican should
buckle on his armor and resolve him
self into committee Of one to see that
every candidate on the Republican
ticket is elected.
