THE RESULT IN STARK.
A SUBSTANTIAL VIC
TORY.
A GAIN OF 44O SINCE LAST YEAR.
one mere Hold Push ana the Day 4.
e Oars.

Now that the smoke has cleared away
and we can see the grand result OF the
late election in Stark county and look
over the Geld, every Democrat has reason
to congratulate himself on it. One year
ago we lost the county by 544 Republican
majority on their State ticket, and when
we polled Democratic vote of only
4,1O5. On the 10th inst we polled Dem
ocratic vote of 5,1l0 for McCook to 5,214
Republican votes for Noyes, giving the
latter majority of l04, being gain of
440 over last year.
Let every Democrat feel good over this
result. A little more confidence on our
part and little more active and deter
mined effort in two or three localities so
as to have got out our vote completely,
would have given US the county on the
10TH Our opponents have barely saved
themselves by unheard of efforts, in mon
ey, organization, impudenee and false
hoods. The Court House Ring were in
a fever of alarm and worked desperately
to continue their hold on the public tit.
1t is evident, their hold is now but slight.
Il Our vote is larger by one thousand than
q year. ago. And we cannot but give all
honor to our gallant candidates. Never
had We nominees who labored more faith
fully and honestly for the cause Never
men who were more worthy OF an cleo
ton. Never Democrats who were more
entitled to the votes Of, not only the Dem
ocrats of Stark county, but we will say of
a majority Of our citizens without regard
to party.
Our defeated candidates are not Office
seekers, never before, with one exception
were candidates for county Office. But
nominated by the favor of their friends,
they one and al labored for victory and
to show themselves worthy Of the conf
dehce reposed in them. NobIy did they
redeem that confidence The Democracy of
Stark county owes them a. debt of graft
tude at least. = l
T. The result in fact amounts toa radical
defeat. The charm surrounding the Court
House Radical Ring is broken. They
have barely saved the larger part of their
ticket and are left by their partial victory
in denoralized condition Ailthis should
infuse additional confidence and energy in
every Democrat IL Stark. Whenever We
put forth our united strength We can rout
the Higher Law dynasty from their Fat
places. We urge then upon every Demo
crat in Stark county to relax no effort but
prepare himself and ueighbors, for the
great, Presidential contest next year
CorruItionis.seated in power at Wash
ihgton. Its agents, spies and hirelings
are all over the land defending their sys-
tenn of robbery and fraud. These fellows
were active IN Stark county during the
late contest and indeed all over Ohio.
This corruption is -leagued in with the
moneyed power. owned by it. The scheme
is 10 enslave and rob the labor interests of
the land. To encounter all these evil
mammon Influences sealed in power, the
Democracy present just principles, econo-
omy. integrity and the "RIGHrs OF MAN"
We feel proud of the noble earnest
work put forth by the Democracy of Stark
in the late contest The magnificent vote
Of 5.ll0 for our ticket speaks for ITSELF
One more bold push and Stark county is
Democratic.
