whom you leave behind, desire still 20 hold

PORTLAND, September I3.-Chan-

very small majority. The entire
vote has fallen off between forty and
fifty per cent. The Democrats gain
largely relatively on the popular vote
and gain some twenty mem bers of
the Legislature and two counties.
AUGUSTA, September I3.-At 10

The vote last year was 131, 7S2.
Chamberlain's majority will be about

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1869-09-15

On our first page Will be found an
article from the Geauga radical or.
gan upon our late General Assembly.
1t is severe upon the Infamous Sian.
ders Of its contemporaries in its ogn
party. The Geauga paper manifests
a little fairness very unlike the
Ruckenbrods and that class who
voted for every moneyed appropria.
tion and more than were passed and
now denounce the Legislature for
doing what they themselves voted
for. This is fair sample of radical
fairness. But read the article and
preserve it for re-reading and that
you may have it ready to submit to
your republican neighbor.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1869-09-15

THE radical party came into
power in 1851 and found the country
comparatively free from debt and at
peace. That peace might have been
preserved and the Union preserved
entire without war was wholly in
the power of the radical leaders.
This is the testimony of Stephen A.
Douglas and others, and the facts of
history so testify. Notwithstanding
these FACTs-the radical leaders have
the effrontery and impudence TO as.
sert that the war and the debt lie at
Democratic doors-that they, the
radicals, pure souls-are entirely In
nocent and that the Democrats are
wholly to blame. They admit too
Cand this shows their falsity), that if
the Democracy had continued in
power there would have been no
secession, no WAR. no debt, no In
ternaI Revenue tax, no stamp tax,
20 horde of tax gatherers that infest
us as the lice and locusts did the
land Of Egypt. This single fact that,
had the Democracy retained power
we would have had none of these
European results demonstrates where
the responsi bility lies. But again,
the party In po,oer is the party really
responsible. They decree, order
perform and hence must be held re.
Sponsible for results. In this view
our opponents are holding the DEM
ocratic party of Ohio responsible for
the doings of our last General AS
sembly.f And while doing this their
Sherman and other speakers throw
the entire evils and calamities of the
last ten years upon the Democratic
party, when we were out of power,
and they were in power engaged in
bringing about these evil results.
