DEMOCRATIC state Convention.

We give up much of our space 70
our lengthy Special Dispatch from
Indianapolis, containing the full pro-
ceedings Of the Democratic State
Convention. The importance of the
issues involved IN the approaching
political contest. an] the desire Of cur
readers to be early informed Of he
results of this convention, have led
us to procure full report. Its length
and the pressure upon our column e,
induces us to defer any special com
ment upon the action OF the Couveu-
ton. The nomination of Mr.. HEN
BRICKS for Governor is considered by
the Democracy, a strong one; but the
sincerity of their professions on tie
financial questions may be judged
from the fact that he is both arg

OUR public affairs are becoming
greatly complicated. This white
mans government OF our forefathers
has been run Off the track badly, and
the work of getting it back on the old
line will be arduous, and possibly to-
dious. The incendiary can sometimes,
in a brief time, destroy what took
years 10 build up, and what may take
longer years to rebuild. The rubbish
and ruins must first be cleared away
before we can commence to rebuild
Here is the difficulty in the present
posture of our public affairs. This
Rump Congress has trampled right
over the Constitution, the rights of
the states and the liberties of the peo-
pie.
Let us see for example where we
are.
The leading fact we will name is
that NEGRO SUFFRAGE is establis he'd
in at least zen states and i'm the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The negro and
car pei hag element has complete con-
! troll OF the state governments in those
states. These ten states will soon be
represented i'm Congress thereby
strengthening the radical element
there making the Senate four fifths
republican. -.
1t will be seen that it will take years
of Democratic victories before we cod
change this. ....
Ofcourse the Democracy must get
fully into power in the various de-
partments before we can fully remove
the radical blotches and re-establish
the Just government of our fathers-a
government of the white people o.
this land.
We have faith in our ultimate trl
umph faith in the people-faithsi il
truth and justice. But our reader:
will see the magnitude of the job be
fore us and the necessity of complete
harmony and united action.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1868-06-24

SENATOR DooLdTTLE made an able
speech against the Reconstruction
policy in which we find the following
passage:
''They could not wrench the gov
ernment of the country from the
hands of civilized men and put it into
the hands OF half civilized negroes
and be supported by the people.
Ohio, Michigan and Oregon were but
the drops that foretold the coming
storm. He had III mis- hand memo

| IS opposed to the Constitution and 3COukd

Mr.. Doolittle proceeded to read the
memorial, setting forth the degraded
| condition of the negro in the South,
and praying Congress to continue over
them the rule of the sword rather
than force them to submit to the rule
of the sword rather than force them

Radical Attack on the Hebrews.

TIE Radical pspers, in order TO sus-
tain their candidate General Grant,
ia the b;rnishmsnt OF all Hebrews
from hi= department in 1852, are in
rins.rious'& y Engaged in attacking that
religious and national Sect. Thus we
quote from the Harrisburg Telegraph
tlie Radical organ in Pennsylvania
which lays:
.sThe Jews of. the southwest, ol
such of them as were suttlers and
.hummers in the armies under Grant
it will be remembered behaved mOst
shamefuIly, rObbing, debauching anC
demoralizing the troops t0 such de
gree that he was compelled to ejec
them from his lines"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1868-06-24
Not IN Accord.


The N. Y. World thus shows that
the Democratic party and Mr.. Chase
are not in accord, although it is true
that the Chief Justice is read out of
the radical Thad Stevens party.
''With the opinions which Mr. Chase
continues to hold, he is by far too
sagaciOus and clear-sighted politi-.
clan to suppose that the Democratic
party can have any serious thought of
making him its candidate for Presi-
dent. While the party is compelled
to recognize the existence of many
unWelcome facts which it cannot re
verse, it has not changed, and cannot
change, its principles. The fact that
the negroes will vote in the. coming
Presidential election is a fact which
the Democratic party recognizes only
on cOmpulsion, while Chief Justice
Chase regards it with more than COM
| placeHcy, with more than satisfaction
with the joy which attends the fulfil
| ment ofa along-cherished hope What
he has so ardently desired, the Demo-
cratic party has strenuOusly resisted
and Indignantly denounced. The
| Democratic party may be unable to
| revoke what has been done; but they
certainly are not going to indorse it,
| as they would virtually do by nOmln-
| ating q man who makes it the corner
| stone of his political creed. There is
4 great difference between submitting
| to the Inevitable form sheer inability
10 Withstand it, and placing ourselves
| under the guidance of man vino has
aided i'll bringing the evil upon us
! We should be glad to see Chief Justice
Chase follow Mr.. Blair and Senator
| Doolittle into the Democratic party;
| but as he regards negro suffrage as a
blessing instead ofan atrocious though
! perhaps irretrievable blunder, we do
not see how he and the Democratic
party can have any bond Uftellowship.
We did not object 10 parIey; but il
was certain from the beginning that
the mountain would not go to Ma.
h. met, and it appears that Mahomet
will not come to the mountain; which
stradfast as the Chief Justice is, would
haYe been much the easier miracle.

A more,efleicnt and popular Ticket
could not well be arranged than the
one nominated by the Democracy of
Stark on the 18Th inst. The gentle
men nominated are all men of busi-
ness experiepce. and competent to.
discharge the duties devolving upon
those filling the respective positions.
ANDREW PoNTIUs, Esqr., was our
capdIdate two years ago for Auditor;
and although he made a good run, he
shared the fate of the Democratic
ticket, and was defeated. Our glori-
Gus victory last fail, by which we re-
deemed Stark county from Radical
rule, gives us a hope to repeat the
lesson this fall, and place Mr.. Pom
tus in the Auditors Office. He is
well qualified for the position, ana is
well-known to our people as a high
toned gentleman and worthy citizen.
GEoRGE w. HENNING is our NOM
inee for Clerk of Court, aha is a com
petent gentleman for that position.
Mr.. Henning has never been a eandi-
date for Office, aud it is entirely owing
to the partiality of friends that his
name was presented at this time. For
! several years past, Mr.. Hennfng has
| been and still Is a teacher in the Cam
| ton Union School. we believe, like
Esquire Poutius, Mr. Henning is a
native OF the county, having been
born and brought up in Osnaburg
township, where his father yet resides.
ANDREW SpAEL, Esqr., served,
some years ago as County Commiss-
ioner for two terms, and, of course, is
familiar with the important duties
pertaining To that now, important
office. Mr.. Stahl Is a gentleman of
| pleasing address, as all who are ac-
qnainted with him well know. AS
a landlord at Rochester in this county
for many years, he attends faithfully
to his business and to his guests, and
will do his part in carrying through
the Democratic ticket in October next.
Mr.. Stahl is well and favorably known
over the county.
LAWRENCE ALEXANDER, EsQr, is
also gentleman who, prior to this,
has been before the public, having
served years ago, as County Commits
sioner. He is now our candidate fOr
Infirmary Director, an important ro-
sition, though not one attended with
profit. No more suitable man could
be found for the place.
We shall soon have our nomination.
all complete l, when the campaign

the country but entireunI0n and har
