CAMPAIGN soxG 1910.
The Maine election, on Monday, resulted in
a Republican triumph. The Republicans lite
rally swept the State, electing their candidate
for Governor, Gen. Chamberlain (who had al
ready twice defeated his opponent, Mr.. Pills.
bury,) and five members OF Congress. The
majority for Governor is about 10000, being a
gain OF nearly 10000 over that Of last year.
Both parties made very active and thorough
canvass over the State. The Democrats were
especially energetic, as they felt the necessit,
OF making heavy gains to show the reaction
in public sentiment of which their orators max
80 much account. But, as in the Vernon
election the gains are allthe other way. Tn
reaction is not apparent. ~ s-a

SEYMOUR 4 BLAIR!
GRAND RATIFICATION MEETING
AT CANTON!
Behold 4! How Brightly Breaks the
Mornr'

Our Democracy couid uot be re-
strained longer from expressing their
cordial appreciation of the platform
and candidates of tho New York Con-
vention. Accordingly, notwithstand-
ing the great heat call was issued
on Wednesday of last week for a
meeting ON Saturday evening on the
Public Square.
JOHN HERBsT Esqr., superintended
the preparation of cartridges and in
due time one cannon discharge was
made for each State, in or ont Of the
LNiOn. About O'Clock Peaks coruet
band played several of their best airs
and q large crowd assembled to shout
for SEYMOUR and BLAIR.
On motion OF A. McGregor, Peter
Kaufman was called TO thechair who,
after calling the large meeting to or
der, and stating its object, introduced
Doctor l.. l.. LAMDORN.
Doctor LambOrn held forth for an
hour in a powerful, argunentatIve x
convincing speech which was frequen-
tly interrupted by applause and
cheers. THIS was Doctor LIS. first
effort in Canton and We hope to have
him speak here again during the cam
paign.
WM. A. LYNCH Esqr., Of our town
followed Doctor L.amborn in speech
OF over an hour. 1t was one of Mr..
Lynch's best efforts replete with facts
and arguments and was receives with
frequent applause.
by this time il Was after 10 O'Clock,
and, on motion of y. Mcgregor, the
large audience adjourned with three
cheers for our noble candidates SEN-
MOUR and BLAIR.
Thus commenced the campaign Of
1868 in Stark county. 1t was glori-
Gus Inauguration OF this great and
important work. The Democracy of
Stark and those conservatives who are
disgusted with radical dOings are de-
termiaed TO do their share in over
throwing the corrupt carpet bag mil
itIry despotism sought to be contin-
ued by the election of Grant and Col
fax. They will know that the only
hope for the country-for liberty, for
Justice is the election OF SEYMOUR
and BLAIR.

About The Publ,e Debt.

GreenDackS We're cOntrlVed Dy spec
ulators to make money plenty to
make it easy to plunge the country
into debt; to make fat jobs for army
contractors; to enable thousands of
heartless schemers to amass large for
tunes out of the public calamities.-
They have answered all these purpo-
ses, and in doing it the public debt
has been enormously increased beyond
what it need 10 have been under dis
Greet financial management-mOre
than doubled in its amount.
And now those who have thus
made hundreds of millions out of the
public calamities, and pulled up the
national debt to thousands of millions
by the greenback imitation, are striv-
ing to convert the bonds bought with
deprecated greenbacks, into gold OBJ
legations, dollar for dollar, and thus
add to their profits the difference be-
tween gold and greenharks, amount
ing to about eight hundred millions.
And then force the resumption OF
specie payments, collapsing the cur
rency, reducing nominal values OF
property, doubling the purchasing
power OF every dollar, and at the
same time virtually doubling the
amount of the national debt and the
investment of the bondhOlders. BY
this unjust process the debt will oe-
come vast burthen perpetually inn
Ial.yrfv,sr al.Necna Enarn-
ing the prices OF all the necessaries of
life at present high rates. whereby
they are deprived of many comforts,
and reduced to condition Of hope
less poverty and dependence.
Now this is all wrong, and should
not be permitted. Even handed. JUS
| tice demands that the same initiation
and the same legal tender currency
should be continued, until the debt,
swelled in consequence Of them, to its
present overwhelming proportions, is
| liquidated, and the toIliug millions,
on whose shoulders the burden is
placed, are delivered from its crushing
| pressure. Such is the policy which
/ the beneficent Democratic principle
| in government, of the greatest good
| to the greatest number, requires OF
the administrators of public affairs.
Until the gigantic debt is provided
for, the sound specie currency doctrine,
OF the Democracy, must remain in
allegiance.
Let the people once more realize
the freedom and happiness of being
out OF debt; let the workingmen
] again see the time when their wages
will secure them. and their families
all the comforts of life, and enable
them to own their homes let them
be delivered from high rents, high
| prices, and from stamps, lnquisitorial
assessors and ineXorable taxgatherers,
and feel the glow OF release from bon
dage, AID deliverSnce from system
OF o2pl ession which hlches from them
day by day more than half their hard
| earnings, and it will be impossible to
again ensnare them into the power OF
or privileged class,b lavish expen-
ditureS, the depredations of plunder-
ers, and unskillful management OF
the finances. The more painful the
lessons of experience, the more likely
arc they to be remembered. Free
this generation from the shacklee
which obstruct their progress and
hinder their prosperity, and they will
not permit the like tc be put on them
again.
