The Democracy Of Stark county pledge themselves

The Holmes county Farmer says, set Little Holmes
down for 1000 majority for Wilson Shannon.

for Shannon. IT,, Il.
And what shall we say for Tuscarawasi Why that
she will give Shannon 1900 as good and true votes as
went into the ballot box. In 1910, during that

TUsCARAWAs DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

TUSCARAWAS DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
One of the largest meetings ofthe democracy that
ever assembled in this place for the purpose, was
held last Saturday 1t was glorious thrilling, sPon-
taneous turnout of the farmers, mechanics and work.
Ing men, as unexpected as twas large and welcome.
The federal leaders looked daggers, and wondered
why il was but the cause Of such turnout Of the yeo
manry on that occasion, is manifest: All over the
S,a,s-all over the country, have the people become
indignant al the recklessneEs of the Federal squander
ing taxing Congress and traorous conduct Of the whg
leaders Of Ohio, in nulIifyng the State government.
Hence the uprsings of the people everywhere hence
the uBivseraal condemnation oftreason usurpation, g.
Fsde:aliSm.-hence the rsbukes fom an iusulted COM
muniY.
Early in the morning the people began to flock in
and by 10 o'clock, our Town vas full Of life. We
could not help noticing among the rest, the Oxford DEL
egaion with excellent band of music, and the dele
gates from York, composed Of farmers, with hickory
swgs their hats marching on foot in the rear of their
own music. The hickory leaves were emblematc of
what their bearers were, and struck terror into the
hearts of the vile sanderers Of General Jackson. About
IL o'clock, general procession was formed, which
proceeded 10 the large Methodist Church. where the
convention organised, appointed its committees, and
adjourned till 2 o'clock. t.
During adjournment we shook by the hand many of
the old veterans in the cause ofdsmocracy-
men who had fought in the ranks for 90 years, against
acorrupt party, and vena pressahd yet true to their
first principles, every ready to rally to the breach in

RHODE Island AFFAIRS.

Letters from Washington say that the Presi-

Rhode Island question, and that two members o.

ofthe Suffrage party, and three of the Charter
Government. 1.-THE State Commissioners dc
not agree, the two members of the Cabinet
representing on their part the Federal Govern.

has been acceded to by the Rhode Island men,
