HAIR VIGOR

FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1868-10-28
The State of Things in Missouri,

General Blair, in his speech at the
Court house in st. Louis, thus alludes
to the tyranny which prevails in that
State. He said:
''This State, in every section, feels
the agony of the most despotIc and
meanest Government that ever exist
ed in the tide of time. TCheers. 1t is
despotic, mean and cowardly. These
people have Wrested from our citizens
their liberty and have subjugated
them to the Constitution which they
never voted for. Cries of Never and
we never will ~ And yet that is the
law. You are compelled to submit to
it, yet under it you have no rights as
citizens, except such as the State Gov
ernment chooses to concede to you.
Some of you believe that you are free
citizens of a republic. None of you
are. You have no rights of citizenship
except what are allowed you by the
government of your State, which
discriminates between individuals.
One man is ALLOW ed to vote, because
| he will vote a partisan ticket. An
| other who proposes different faith is
rejected. No man can vote here eX.
cept by the consent of the Registrar
| No matter what q mans conduct may
have been during the war, no matter
what services he may haYe rendered
| the State or the nation, these are d
no avail to him. Every thing is lefI
to the discretion of an officer OF regis
taation, who is actually made ire
sponsible by the law under which ht
acts. Can any human being conceive
a state of despotism more absolute
than that which is imposed upon oul
people by these Radicals in the exc
cution of the registration law, which
is taken and swallowed down like {
nauseous dose, as it is. By this they
can, with or without evidence, rejec
voters at their discretion. This i
called republicanism."
Fully one-third of all the voters O
Missouri are disfranchised by a pre-
tended Constitution, which was foist
ed upon the State by military force
by bayonets at the polls. There 1
hardly a people on the globe VIII
would submit for year to such bas
oppression as this great State has bee
subjected to from the Radicals.

Approving Lincoln's Assassination.

The notorious father of Radicalism,
Wendell Phillips, is on the howl
again. 1t is singular, in these peri
odical spasms, what pungent truths
he tells. In last weeks Anti-SJarery
Standard he has an article, saying:
''The reelection of Mr.. Lincoln
was a grave mistake, from the worst
consequences OF which n kind Provi-
dence saved US by his death
In 1864, the masses were not, Dy any
means, alive to the duty of the hour.
Ready for any step, they had no def
mite idea what step was needed. Fur
ther, they leaned with far too much
trust on Mr.. Lincoln'S supposed
craftsmanship and honesty"

Can You Tell Us Why?

If reconstruction is q success, why
isn't the army Withdrawn?
If the radicals want peace, what are
they arming the negroes for?
If the Radicals mean equal rights,
why one currency for capital and an
other for labor?
/ If the negroes can vote Of them
selves, why pay the Bureau to teach
them?
If the radicals mean equal rights.
what do they put the negro above the
white man for?
If the radicals mean impartial suf'
frage, what does their platform say
one suffrage North and another South
for?
If the radicals want peace, what
are they running their candidate or
his military merits for:
Is it impartial suffrage to enfran
chise the black and disfranchise the
white man?

have not saved him even from the
violence of those opposed to him.
Much less has he been able to inau-
gurate any invasion measures or any
acts calculated to disturb the public
peace.
Our hopes is in this election to put
into the Executive offices those who
could stay the tide of competition; /;
those who could save from further in
juries the system of Constitutional
Government those who could pro-
tect our people from legislative
| wrongs.
We feel, too, that our success wo'd
| be Tebuke by the American people
Of measures which have been con-
| demned as strongly by many leading
| Republicans and Republican presses
as by ourselves.
If the candidates on our ticket
| should be elected, and if they should
| prove capable, honest and true to
| their trust, at another election the
| people of the United States could go
further and make a Democratic
House of Representatives. In due
| time the character of the Senate could
be changed, and I believe the day is
at hand when the judgments and
votes OF the American people will re
store again to power that time-honor
ed party under whose influence oul
country was made great and prosper
GUS. None of those changes could bt
made violently, nor could they en-
danger the public peace; but they
would all tend in the end to promote
the welfare and prosperity of tn
United States.
The meeting was then addressed il
an eloquent strain by Hon. Franci
Herman. Full 10000 people were il
, and about the rink during the delive
rY of Governor Seymour's address.

Negro Troubles in New Orleans.

In st Bernard Parish below New
Orleans an assault was made day or
two ago upon Democratic procession
by the negroes, in which one white
man was wounded and two negroes
were killed, one policeman. At
night the negroes assaulted the house
of a Baker, a white man, killing him
his son and q sister-in-law and set
ting fire to his house, the wife esca-
ping with an infant child in her arms.
General Rousseau's military have
possession of the city, the negro po-
lice are withdrawn and no negroes
can be seen about the city. On the
Goth, General Steedman and others
addressed the white citizens advising
them to retire to their homes in peace.
The speeches were well received.

that they label their establishment.

Returns from the State election come
in slowly, but all show large Demo
cratic gains.
The Democratic gain in fifteen coun-
ties is two thousand three hundred
and seventy-seven (2,377) The same
proportion OF gain throughout the re.
manning thirty~eIght counties will
make the State Democratic by two
thousand.
Registration books were re-opened

made, four-fifths of the new enroll
ment being Democratic. Reckon thii
State sure for Seymour and Blair.

from counties in which the new reg

the Democrats will have probably six
thousand majority.

Such a paragraph as the above has
been going the rounds of the radical

that it is a lie manufactured out OF

this morning that you will enter the
Presidential canvass in person.
trust this may be so, as the present
position Of public affairs justifieS and
demands it. 1t is hoped & believed by
your friends that all the enemies OF
Constitutional Government, whether
secret or avoWed, will not be spared,
and that their arbitrary and unjust
usurpations, together with their
wasteful, prohigate and corrupt uses
Of the peoples treasury Will be Sig
nRlly exposed and rebuked. The
mass of the people should be aroused
and warned against the encroach-
ments Of the despotic power now
ready to enter the very gates Of the
citadel of liberty. 1 trust you may
speak with an inspired tongue, and
that your voice may penetrate every
| Just and patriotic heart throughout
| the land. Let the living principles OF
q violated Constitution be proclaimed
and restored, that peace. prosperity
and fraternal feeling may return to 8
divided and oppressed nation.

though the latter have almost as many

Grants Drunkenness.

Phillips, the great leader of the

"He was drunk in the public streets

be trusted with public journals (bats
passing themselves off for owls), deny
it,"
