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

WHY is it that only 1904 votes
were polled at the Democratic pri-
mary election and 3I72 at the Re-
publican primary election ?-Rep
and Rep last tCeek.
The reason is that a majority of
the Democratic candidates were up
for denomination, which was con-
ceeded-hence tho small vote. On
the other hand the Radical party is
made up of host of Office hunters
some of whom are trying to hold on
for life-hence the scramble that
brought out the full strength of the
party-and more than the full
strength.
The Radical primary meetings
were held the same day ours were,
Saturday, June Goth. Two weeks
after, the Democrat gave the full
statement of our vote by polls.-
Week after week, for near two
months we have been calling on our
neighbors to give the full statement
Of their vote or asking them why
they refused to publish it. We IN
quired, if there was ga nigger in the
wood pile"-it they were afraid of
making public statement of their
vote-if it needed some peculiar
manipulation, &C. The Rep and
Rep preserved dead silence at al this
till last week.
At last, in its issue of Sept 9th,
near three months after their prima
ry meeting, the Rep and Rep gave a
table purpOrting to be the table,
official, of their primary meetings
held throughout Stark county, on
Saturday, June 26th 1869. So it
seems we smoked tho thing out at
last. OF course but for our continu1
ally calling for this statement it
would never have seen the public
light The intention of the leaders
was not to publish it at all. Why
was thIs? Will our neighbors, Maj.
Mckinley, or some one else in au-
thority have the condescension to
explain?
Messrs. Chance, Bachtel, Green
wood, Reed and the other defeated
candidates of the Republican party
may thank us for this showing up
of the vote in their party. We have
no doubt they do feel grateful and
enjoy it and also laugh well at the
scared condition Of Messrs. Under
hill, Mckinley, Stanley, Ira NJ.
Allen, Barber and company. We
understand their alarm was terrible
last week. Something must be done.
They must get a card of indorse-
ment from the men this ring defeat
ed by trickery, or they were all
gone up. OF course, in their gener-
osity Of heart, and enjoying the
scene. they signed anything their
radical ring friends, or enemies, as
the case may be, wished them to.
ALI this only makes Underhill, Nc
Kinley and Co. more ridiculous and
exposes their trickery, weakness and
alarm. 1t is poor bolstering of q
black cause, and will not save their
sinking ship.

Democratic Victories.

The telegraph has been exceedingly
chary of California election news.
We are, however, beginning to get a
glimpse of the result through the
newspapers, SAM Francisco dates of
the Sd being now at hand. The
Democrats made almost clean sweep
with regard to the Legislative ticket,
electing to Lower House forty-eight
members to the Radicals three, and
twelve Senators TO the Radicals none.
Three years ago the Radical majority
in California. was 1900; now the
Democratic majority in the state is
estimated at not less than 1900.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

When the Radical leaders claim
that negro suffrage is not an issue In
this campaign, tell them to read the
following from the Ohio State Jour
nal:
"Let US have no Sinking or dodg-
ing on the Fifteenth Amendment.
1t is the essence ofwhat we struggled
for during all these years. Every
election for nearly ten years has been
fought with the ultimate objective
point in view, and nothing but the
cowardice Of milk and water Repub-
licans has postponed it to the Fall
election Of 1869 to settle the question
finally"
The above was printed just before
the nomination of Hayes. The Radi-
Gals now wish both to 'slink'' and to
"dodge' their favorite policy Of ne
gro equality.

Clerk.

Clerk.
The correct sum of the public debt.
August /, 1866, was $685., ,OOO, 900.
The following colloquy will show
how it was figured down to $2,4S1,-
OOo, 600:
BoutwelI-Deduct 81, 900, 600 of 6 SO
bonds loaned to the Pacific road.
The debt, 50, 682, 100000, is to high I
Clerk-Why deduct them? They
are Government bonds, and as much
a part OF the debt as any other. But
here goes. Deduct $s1, ZOO, ,OO0' Re-
suit, $2,6O1, 900, 900.
Boutwell-Not low enough. De-
duct that $126,OOO,SOo, cash in the
treasury.
Clerk-Why deduct that? This
money is not available for the pay
ment of the bonded debt. The law
restricts the sinking fund to $24, ,OO0,-
600 year. Besides, there are heavy
cash payments awaiting TO be made,
a part of this money belongs to the
Smithsonian and Indian Trust Fund.
However as we only part with it on
paper, mere goes. Deduct $t26, 000,.
600. Result, $2,474, 200, 900.
Boutwell-Not low enough vet,
Deduct the $27 ,0eO, 600 bonds in the
sinking fund, and the premium and
interest on them.
Clerk-Of course you know this ii
as Objectionable as any of the rest
but here goes. Deduct 1927, 900
Result $2,447, 100000.
Bontwel-NOw you have got TOT
low. The people win not swallow 81
large decrease. Add on the 81,
600, 900 of accrued interest.
( Clerk-This is the sharpest trick o
all. Well, here goes. Add $34, 900,

WILL THERE BE A CRANGE?-
We have good reasons to believe
there will be political change this
fall. Geary is not like the people
also desire change again to see If
things won't go better. Taxes are
too high for them and they see no
prospect Of them getting lower when
they see every congress and every
legislature more eXtraVRgant than
the one preceding. We have reIia-
BILE Information ofa number ofchang-
es throughout the country, and we
know of Several right here in town.
There are many Republicans who
are opposed 70 the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and as this election will be
the last one at which they will nave
a chance to vote against it, they now
mean to do so. This issue is before
them. If the democrats are defeat
ed, then comes negro suffrage and
negro equality in. Let very Repub-
lican well consider this fact,-SeLi1ls-
