WOMAN.n RInurn

The radical. leaders in and about our
Court House as well as their organ, the
Rep & Rep, are earnest and warm ad-
Vocates of Woman's Rights. Some OF
them drank in the doctrines years ago from
some of the strong minded, such as Abby
Kelley & Co.
They are all anxious to see the XVI
amendment engrafted upon the Constitu-
ton of the United States. This amend
ment is to abolish all distinction on ac-
count of sex, no difference before the law
to be allowed The radical leaders in the
Canton Court House are in dead earnest
IN forcing this question, as we learn. If
there is a single exception to this, we are
not aware of it. Let him speak out if
there is one.
In the South, the Carpet Bag radical
leaders have been waiting the colored
Yenches for some years. True, these fe-
males put on the male garb to vote, but
it shows how the sentiment of the party
is running. No doubt, they will soon rush
through theiXVf amendment as they did
the XIV.

followed HIM, said that of all the men
Massachusetts had honored within the
past fifty years, none could compare in
statesmanship with Butler, and that no
name will stand higher in the history of
the State he represents. The great ques-
ton of the future, is Capital against Leg

answer the newspapers, but obeyed the
injunction not to answer q fool according
to his folly. he wound up by saying that
New York was the private property OF
half dozen millionaires, and that the
laws were made in Nanderbilts Office, and

OUR STARK COUNTY TICKET-NO
CARPET-BAGGERY, ~


The solid voters and taxpayers of Stark
County should remember that the Demo-
cratic ticket is composed Of citizens Of
solid merit. Some of them are young
men of 25 to %, born and brought up in
the county.
Our ticket is not then carpet-bag af-
fair in any sense-not made up of impor-
tations from other Keounhes, importa-
tions to fill offices merely. Let the sub
stantial citizens Of Stark county bear this
in mind.
The men on the Democratic ticket are
not professional offceholders nor Office
seekers. They are able and capable of
making good livii g Tor themselves with
out Office and yet their qualifications are
equal or superior to those of any of the
professional ofice-seeking and ofice-suck-
ing gentry.
For instance JAMES P. SOURBECK
will make splendid man in the Auditors
Office. He is every way competent and
qualified. While attending faithfully to
the business he would be the accommoda-
ting gentleman.
BILL BAXTER is just the man for
Sheriff and is well known all over Stark
county as an attentive official and whole
souled good fellow.
GEORGE FESSLER, our candidate
for County Treasurer, has lived in Stark
county as man and boy for forty years or
more. GEORGE is known as good bu-
siness man and our farmer friends and all
others know it would be pleasure and
satisfaction to do business with him.
WILLIAM A. LYNCH, our candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney, is all that is
required in that regard He is recognized
as good lawyer and the people of the
county should remember him as Stark
comfy man.
JOHN MCGREGOR, for Clerk of Court,
is also competent for the position for
which he is running. He is Canton boy
worthy of proper consideration.
DOCTOR LAMBQRN, for the State
Senate is gentleman of ability, one of
the ablest public speakers in the State and
would make worthy member of the Sen
ate of Ohio.
DOCTOR ]. B. WILSON and F. w.
BAIRD, ESQ, in the House of Assembly
would be faithful Representatives, and be
4 credit to the county. They would vote
for no John Sherman to the United States
Senate or any other whisky Ring candi-
date.
THOMAS w. CHAPMAN is the very
man for County Commissioner. He is a
thorough business man, has lived long in
the county, knows our interests and would
manage the affairs of the county with pru-
dence and economy.
WILLIAM REYNOLDS, for Coroner,
| would make tip top man for much
better position. He is an active, energet-
ie, thorough business man of Alliance; =
We have known him long and wsH and
know whereof we say.
1t viii be seen then that ours is not q
gas-bag nor csrpet-bag ticket The can
Aidates are al men of merit and solid
worth Let the good people OF Stark
county, without regard to party, consider
the propriety of honoring our own boys
q little foronce. We are. sure they will
i never regret it.
