The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1868-11-18
Mime, and Thine :"


Our compound blowpipe neighbors
are evidently afflicted. They are
grieved that FIVE of our county OH
cials are not Portage Keounty radicals
and hence in long and labored arti-
Gle under the above head, they invite
Treasurer John Steel, Sheriff r. a.
Dunbar and Recorder Jacob Keplin-
ger to accommodate these carpet
baggers by vacating the positions to
which the unbiased and unbought
people of Stark county elected them
in 1867.
This is decidedly modest! But
why they do not name Prosecuting
Attorney Lynch and County Survey
or Willard, we are not advised. Per-
haps, however, they have three negro
or Portage Keounty friends. ready to
I'LL the places named. Hence their
invitation to our friends to ''get out"
By the way, is this the style of ,radi-
ical postmasters when they are not
wanted, or t0ds it the style OF certain
quartermasters who dealt out mig
gardly ratlons to ''the boys ?'' Du tel!
We assure our neighbors, the ques-
tiOn shall be submitted-to the proper
authority-and at the first opportuni-
ty. And our neighbors will find that
"Phiiip sober" gives a different deci-
sion from "Philip drunk"-and be-
fooled and an election, not mockery
of an. election, will tell tale woful
and sad to the Jacobin John Brown
faction.
or course the only objection to
Messrs. Steel, Dunbar aud Keplinger
is that they are Democrats & are COM
petent and worthy officials, and hon.
est men. They neither worship the
dead saint John Brown, nor the. liY-
ing saint Wendell Phillips, nor adj
mire the carpet bag thieves and
swindIers, who manage the corrupt
radical machine for themselves and
their bondholding friends and secure
Negro victories by force and fraud.
We can excuse top lofty airs in our
new neIghbors. They are set up-just
now-elevated by their recent appa-
rent victory. Pride sometimes goeth
before &c. We would just say also,
that HoRArIo SEYMOUR is the real
choice of the American people for
President, by q majority of some four
hundred thousa nd. Smoke that in

We would also tell our neighbors
that General Jackson is not dead. His
spirit still lives, and it is marching
on! The soul Of the old hero was de-
voted to truth-to the constitution
to his country! His was not the ma
Iignant, Internal spiritof Johh Brown,
Our Democratic hero was not killed
in Io,o theatre. His mighty soul
would scorn and loathe the villains
who, Nero-ike, have revelled and be-
come rich in the ruin of their country.
Neither would ''old Hickory" say he
had ''no policy of his own" He alb
horred deceit and boldly proclaimed
his views on all pending public ques-
| tions. He was not an oyster general
and could be the tool of no faction.
Let the ''trinity'' of spirits that
blow their gabriel. horns through the
new blow pipe remember then, that
General jackson still lives--that the
Democracy. still live and that, more
than I'VE thousand of US will be heard
from in Stark county in October 1869.
'Mine and .thinew We thank the
'trinity'' for the expressive term.
Apply it to the silver ware, pianos,
gold headed canes &c. &C., stolen from
the southern people. "Mlne and

offices south, places secured by bayo-
nets and by frauds. ''Iihe and thine''
