FOR MAYOR.

As there is but one gentleman named
for nomination as Mayor of Canton at the
Democratic primary meeting on Saturday.
it may not be be improper to say a word
on the subject. The gentleman named is
R. S. SHIELDS, Esq, who located here to
practice law somewhat over a year ago.
Mr.. S. came here from New Philadelphia
well recommended and those of our citi-
zens who have made his acquaintance en-
dorse every word said in his favor. The
Ohio New PHILADELPHIA Democrat of last
week thus speaks of Mr.. SHIELDS F:
CantOn's Next Mayor.
From the Stark County Democrat we
learn that R. s.. SHIELDS, ESQ, formerly
of this city and now a resident of Canton,
Ohio, will be made the standard bearer Of
the Democracy of that city in the mayor
atty campaign this spring. We congratu-
late the good people of Canton OIL their
expressed choice Of this representative of
modern Democracy, and assure them that
their every expectation looking to merit
and worth will not be disappointed
Mr.. Shields we have known personally
some years, and in him have always rec
ognized the dignifed bearing and polish
of a true gentleman. Born and educated
in the Democratic school he remains
pinned to his early espoused faith, although
of liberal views, and is ever found ready
to lift his voice in support of principles
whish claim recognition by the liberty
loving and patriotic. He is a young man
of irreproachable character, of uncompro-
missing integrity, of rare intellectual at
tainments and culture, an able and elo-
quent public speaker and a promising
member of the legal profession. Origin
ally of the East, and of the best family
connections, he came among US some three
years since, and with his uncle, Hon. ]. c.
HANcE, prosecuted his profession up to
the time of his leaving for Canton, where
he is now engaged in a rapidly growing
practice. We bespeak for Mr.. Shields q
successful career in life, and if elected to
the complimentary position of Mayor of hi:
lately chosen home, his rule, without
doubt, will be infexible frmness IN enfor,
eng justice, tempered'with a willingness to
exercise his ~prerogative of mercy, when
ever there are j%ustifying reasons.
