show windows are models in their way,
the glass being extra thick and very
heavy and very costly, the shelving,
counters and drawers and finish generally
are ali in character with the elegant

ten foot ceiling, the second and third

For the Democrat
THE MAYORALTY.
CANroN. March 2sth 1s71

Mr.. Editor Permit one who is inter
estedin the municipal government of Can
ton to say a word through your columns as
to the two Candidates for the Office of
mayor of our city. Although a Republi-
can and Supporter of the general ticket
nominated last Saturday, | deem 1t my
duty, out of pure regard for our growing
city, not only to withhold my own vote
from MI. Stanley but advise all our citizens
who are more DESTROYS of building up and
guarding the interests of our city than
maintaining party distinctions, TO do like
wise. Our capacIous kindness for the suf
ferlng will notallow us to discuss the utter
improperly of supporting Mr.. Stanley for
this office. Suffice it to say, that inquiry
into facts renders his name IN connection
with this Office a great injury to the good
reputation of our city. To argue that
through mere sympathy he should be
elected, would be absurd. His nomination
has already done US discredit as q city,
l nd now let us not mako bad worse. The
opposing nominee, Mr.. Shields, 1 don't
know personally but the goodly report as
to his character, integrity and ability that
reaches me from every quarter, fully Justi-
ies the belief that Republicans and Demo.
Gratis alike should put their shoulders
unitedly to the wheel and elect him, thus
saving the good name of Canton from
threatening misfortune and shame.
A REPUBLICAN.

The contest for Mayor last Saturday
was fierce among "the happy family Of
Canton. There had been three candidates,
Sam Slanker, John Lahm and Stanley.
Lahm declined, and the battle lay between
Slanker and Stanley-"and Stanley was

Republicans voted for Stanley through
suppOsing helOss his foot in the
var which is all q mistake. We are in
formed. for we have no acquaintance with
the man. that his misfortune does not
prevent him from working at his trade,
and we are at q loss to understand how

will obviate or remove natural disqualih-
cations. The mind should be the chic
standard for positions like the mayoralty.

The court or common PIeas.

STEPHEN LIGoETT was sentenced, on
Thursday last, to the p~enitentiary for three
years. The charge was grand larceny,
stealing a buggy belonging to Mr.. Nc
Daniels. Liggett Is a man about sixty
years old. end has spent twenty-one years
prior to this In the Penitentiary Last
October Liggett came along to Paris, in
this county, on horseback, Of course stolen,
pretending he wanted to buy a large farm.
He persuaded q man living at Paris with
whom he had got sociable, having taken
a few drinks together, TO hire a buggy,
and accompany him IN search of q large
farm. This was done, the Partisan hiring
the buggy. The two friends arrived at
the first station, Robardsville, and put up
at Clapper's. Liggett ordered dinner for
two, and while it was being got ready,
Liggett's friend started round town to at
tend to some business. After he left, Lag
gett said he would 60 over a half a mile or
so to lock at a large farm, and wanted
dinner ready by the time he would get
back. But hours passed, and days ran
into weeks. McDaniels advertised and
offered a reward for his buggy, and at last
found it at MartlRsville. where Liggett
had left it, and he himself was nabbed al
Wellsville, Ohio. Liggett is opposed or
principle to free labor and will not, be
says, travel on foot; when he gets tired
riding on horseback he procures a buggy.
While in. the Penitentiary, he works well
and has generally had his terms shortened
on account of good behavior. He was last
pardoned out IN 1869.

DIsEracefuI scene -Must Go To the
P~OOr-HLOase-


The Alliance, Ohio, Monitor tells the
following dlsgraceful tale, the scene of
which was Mt. Union Village. Some mean
persons took it IN their heads that a Mrs.
Benson and her six children must go to the
Poor-house at Canton, and having made
the Township Trustees believe it necessary,
the latter came with a hack to take them
there. She protested, claiming that she
was sufficiently comfortable, and while
health remained could and was determined
to keep her children together. Two Of the
children ran off and could not be found till
evening. The other four, includinga baby
fifteen months old, were torn ruthlessly
from her arms and put in the hack, amid
the screams and most piteous cries of the
family, the weeping of sympathetic friends,
and the fendish Jeers of aheartless wretch
who had stationed himself at an observing
standpoint. The hack started, the broken
hearted mother clinging to the step and
being dragged through the streets, scream
ing all the while for help. Finally she
consented to get in the hack, and rode
down Alliance to Main street, where she
raved frantically for help, but. no one
knowing her, she was considered dement,
! ed, and nothing was done till the children
were on the train. Father Lindesmith,
ever on the alert for some good work,
found the helpless woman and took her to
his home, dispatched to her husband In
York, and wrote to Canton to have the
children detained, kept together, and cared
for till further orders. Mrs. B. was taken
down sick by the agonies of that day, and
has been under medical treatment ever
since. The good people of Mt. Union are
very attentive. They had not suspected
that she was needy. She had never been
troublesome, but seemed a woman OF noble
spirit, always willing and able to pay for
every thing she got. Upon examination
they found a good supply Of -four, bread,
meat, coal and money in the house. besides
one good suit for each one of the children,
and a new rag-carpet ready for the floor,
and $ll worth Of new goods to make up

tine, but they were in q warm room, anc

In justice to the Republican Trustees
of Washington township, we may stat'
that one Of them informs US. Mrs. Benson
was playing of, and had been drawing oil
them heavily for help

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

The two principal radical organs in
Stark county take opposite sides in the
Grant-Sumner quarrel. The Minerva
0ozamercial post office organ, takes sides
with Grant and is bitter on Sumner; while
our neighbors of the Rep and Rep, unfet-
tered with Office, are with Sumner heart
and soul. Below we give an extract from
each:
Senator Sumner is establishing a repu-
tation as a good hater. Since his first
misunderstanding with the President he
has suffered no opportunity to pass unen-
ploved to vent his hostility upon General
Grant and his Cabinet, and seems ever
willing to sacrifice the Republican party,
if by so doing he can injure the President.
It is announced that the Senator contem-
plates at an early day makinga speech on
the condition of affairs at the South, in
which he will arraign the President as
false to his party and his country, in con-
sequence of his neglect, at the beginning
of the present session, to call the attention
Of Congress to matters requiring its atten-
ton, particularly to Southern outrages, OF
the existence of which the President was
officially informed.-MineTvG Commercial
The Commercial is the Postofice organ
at Minerva, which fact may account for
the above assault upon the Massachusetts
Senator. 1t is said four-ffths of the Re-
publican papers in the country sustain Sum
ner against Grant. The Rep & Rep Of
our city is Sumner decidedly, rs may be
seen by the following:
The attempt to demolish Charles Sum-
ner will fail, and fail because it is wrong
Nj. Sumner is not without his faults, but
his views have been sustained by the
American people, and his political charac-
ter has the grand redeeming feature o.
i~ncorruptible integrity. The American
people will not have San Domingo cram
med down their Threats. and Nj. Sumner
vlndicatlon for his opposition to it will be
as certain as was his opposition to the
"Barbarism Of Slavery"
There is no doubt about Summers "in'
corruptible integrity" and of course oul
neighbors mean to have it understood thai
they can not credit Grant with that granG
redeeming feature" The Rep & Rep i
severe on Grant:
We give in this connection another ex
tract from the Rep & Rep, showing it
opinion of SIHoN CAMERON who succeed
Sumner as Chairman of the Committee OF
Foreign Relations. CAMERON is a grea
fayorite with Grant, Just corrupt enough
to be in favor. Here is the Rep & Rep
item:
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, new
er uttered q truer remark than when b,
said IN the United States Senate the othe
day, that Simon Cameron, who Is hplacet
at the head of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, in place of Mr.. Sumner, does no
possess the confidence of the country
This is true, and he does not deserve tina
confidence either.-He is not only an un
scrupulous politician, but q corrupt mai
and the position he has attained wa
gained by intrigue. He has no substan
tial qualifications for the Craftsmanship c
the Foreign Relations Committee.
Even Republicans are pretty general
admitting that Grants is an exceedingl,
corrupt administration. Some of thei
organs are talking it out in public quit
boldly.

HENRY SHORE.
Son of a. L. Shorb, is known as a most
worthy young man and should be elected
Constable by all means.

SENATOR SHMRMAN is out in two let
tiers, one to Mr.. Cuneo of the Upper
Sandusky Republican on the Q. s.. Sena-
torship in which he does not say he will
not be candidate, nor that he will be. 1t
is evidently a feeler and the Senator would
doubtless be willing to serve a third term
in that body. The other letter is to the
Cincinnati Enquirer, trying to refute the
charge that Senator SHERMAN has manag-
ed, while serving in Congress to become
immensely rich. The Senator tries to de-
ny the charge. Of course denial is not
disproof We suspect this letter is also
another look for the third term in the U.
s. Senate. We kroIS nothing about Sen
ator Sherman's circumstances but we have
had it from Mansfield Republicans that he
has accumulated largely since he was IN
Congress and they even intimate some
happy speculations he engaged in. For
years he has been chairman of the Fl.
nance Committee of the Senate.

TIE three leading ideas of President
Grants administration now seem to be-:
The Settlement of the Alabama claims (;
The annexation of San Domingo;
The construction of a Ship canal across
the Isthmus Of Darien.
The first is a worthy and desirable OBJ
iect; the second is Just the contrary, and
the last is utterly impracticable.-RP &
Rep
~ We most cordially subscribe to our
neighbers' position on the three leading
iders Of President Grants administration.
At least two thirds of the adminislration's
objects and aims are utterly base and nm
worthy, besides being unconstitutional.
Grants war on Sumner is, because of the
latter's opposition to these villainous and
} corrupt schemes. The Heading idea" Of
Grant now, soems to be.to get the country
under military subsection 50 that he may
re.elect himself in 1872. Congress ap-
pears to be quite obsequious to his bidding
IN this scheme. eGG135 uyr

remark as to a. McGregor's status. W.

Every American seems to have an in

the cry of the American carriage builder.
and even when the Valentine varnish"
proved equally good, there waste be found
this great prejudice to overcome. which
has greatly retarded the introduction Of
the American substitute. We are glad to
learn however, the American manufacture
is slowly but surely driving the English
varnish out of the market; and every car

should seek to encourage the home pro-
