Election day is fast approaching. There
is left but a brief time for preparation.
No neighborhood is so well organized that
q little stirring around among the voters
would be superfuous. Don't be too con-
fdent, but make sure that there are no
Misunderstanding to explain away, no
false reports to correct, The enemy is
STEALTHILY at work They are Sc
crstly busy while they are thought to be
inactive and Indifferent. Keep a look out
for their schemes to keep Democratic vo-
ters from the polls. This is their main
reliance for electing their ticket IN this
county and district. FOREWARNED,

The youthful and truly brilliant artistic,
Miss Fanny B. Price, commenced an en-
gagement at the Opera House on Monday
evening in the drama of East Lynne and
was enthusiastically received. This even
ing she will appear in the beautiful drama
of the Pearl of Savoy. On Thursday
evening she will produce the last and
greatest sensation of the age entitled
Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl, or the
Ku-Klux Of Texas. This play was dram
atjzed expressly for Miss Price from the
thrilling story published recently in the
New York Weekly. Miss Prices engage
ment will close on Saturday evening and
we advise those who wish to see the finest
tragic arriste on the stage supported by
first class company should improve the
present opportunite as we may not look
upon her like again." We understand
that Miss Price has had powerful induce
ments offered her to visit Missillon. Let
our citizens leave no cause for Miss Price.
to regret her visit to our city.

A cOtempOrary in giving advice to
young men just starting is life, wrote the
following sensible article:
Young men, vote the Democratic tick
ct. Vote the regularly nominated Demo
cratic ticket. Assume at your outset in
life decided, positive and reliable char
scter. 1t will be set down to your credit.
Decided men are the kind wanted. Vacil-
lating, uncertain and unreliable men are
always mistrusted. Keep clear of boilers.
Make fair start IN life Running at ev-
cry alarm, or shifting about from one hob
by to another, will indicate you have nc
settled purpose, no matured judgment OF
opinion of your own.
We say vote the Democratic ticket
vote it straight If, however, your con.
victions are in opposition, go for the Re-
publican nominee-but, above all, do not
be a go-betl0ee1s, creature contemned by
both parties. Be something. Be where
your neighbors can find you. Be decided
and you will be respected accordingly"

LEAVES TIE RADICAL PARTY.

A Republican Of Hancock county, Mr.
Simeon Brunk, publishes in the Findlay
Courier card bidding farewell to Radi-
calism. As it reflects the sentiments of
hundreds of hard working mechanics and
farmers, we give it entire. 1t bristles with
points:
EDS. COURIER: John Sherman said in
his Mansfield speech that poor men pay
no taxes and he abuses and sneers at
them for complaining of hard times
When he was elected to the United States
Senate, it was all that he could do to
keep soul and body together, financially
speaking. He is now worth a million or
two ofRdollars ; his salary as Senator would
not amount to fifty thousand He sneers
at poor men. l have g family of eight
children, besides myself and wife, to sup
port by daily toll. It costs me for boots,
shoes, clothing, blankets and bedding, tea,
coffee, salt, pepper, and other necessities
which ] am compelled to purchase-it
costs me more than one dollar each day of
my life to pay the additional expenses
growing out of the Republican tariff alone.
Sherman knows he stated falsehood.
I have been a Republican and voted
that ticket ever since the party originated.
1 was three years a soldier in the late war,
and have an honorable discharge. 1 am
satisfied that the Republican party is cor
rupt beyond descrIptiOn-I mean its lea
deres-and more than this, know we can
not make the matter worse by a change.
When it has cost two billions eight hun
drsd millions of dollars to keep up the
expenses of the Government for the last
six years, in time of peace, and it only
cost one billion four hundred millions for
Government expenses for seventy-three
years before 1860, under Democratic and
Wing administration, 1 can no longer sup
port party guilty of such dOings. Count
me with the Democracy hereafter.
Yours respectfully.

nAss1LLoN ConREsPONDENCE.

One week from next Tuesday is the
election day, October 10th, 1871.
BURGLARS ABoUr.-Messrs. Bowman &
Maier's hardware store, on the West Side,
was broken and entered one night last week
and about one hundred dollars in value
abstracted. On Monday night We learn
the residence of J. P. Burton, Esq, on
Main street, was assailed by the Cracks
men" unsuccessfully.
The boiler of the Massillon Psper Co.,
which blew up few days since, IS about
repaired, and viii soon be IN readiness for
work.
Koch & Co. are receiving great stock
of goods, and they are selling them at rea-
sonable prices. Their store is at the north
end of the Opera-house.
B. B. Warner announces himself as a
candidate for Justice of the Peace in place
of Adam Hamersmith, resigned. Are
neither of the political parties going to
nominate? ? In late contest for renomi-
nation, Justice Warner was beaten by
w. c. Richards. Since then the resigna-
ton of Hamersmith has transpired.
Mrs. McCully, of Polo, Ill, and H. w.
Foltz, Esqr, of Galena, were in the city
last week, looking after their interest in
old-time affairs of Msssillon. The many
warm friends'of both gave them kind
welcome.
A draymans faithful horse fell whilst
endeavoring to draw a load beyond his
strength, on Saturday last. If we had a
society to prevent cruelty TO animals In
this city, 1t might find case.
We have seen fresh lot of Andy Prices
photographs Andy is beating himself in
every new effort.
Judge Lawrence and Gen'l Gresvenor
entertained a crowd in front of the Amer
lean Hotel on Saturday evening last, with
speeches strongly tinged with Republic
canism.
Harvey Coins, the colored man who
was scslded by the explosion of the boiler
on Monday, died on Wednesday night and
was buried on Friday, Somebody should
be made liable for his death. 1t was not
an sccident.
Mr.. Clarence Brown, son of 1. H.
Brown, Esq, P. NJ, and for year past
assistant postmaster in this city left on
Tuesday for Ann. .Arbor, Michigan, to at
tend the law department of that flourish

Rev. R. S. Williams Of the Presbyterian
church in this city Is absent, attending the
meeting ofthe Presbytery at Youngstown.
While at Canton day or two since, we
had the pleasure to meet Ensign B. H.

were Dr. ]. H. Good, D D., Of Tifhn,

The recent election in California dsvel-
oped q species of fraud that is at once
novel and scientific. On number of bal
lots, nitrate of silver had been applied to
the name Of the. taxpayers candidate for
assessor. This substance produces no i'm
mediate effect, 50 that the voter would de-
posite the ballot without suspicion. By
the time, however, the box was opened to
count the vote, the name was entirely
erased by the chemical action of the drug
on the ink. 1t is painful to see so respect
able science as chemistry prostituted to
the purposes of election frauds.

THE Treasury Department and the Pay

which is responsible for the existence of g

ton Of things ? 1t is like the four years

Two years and half ago a Democratic
council came into power, and 1t increased
the taxes from two and half TO four
mills on the dollar Six months ago a
Republican council came INTO power and
at once reduced the tax rate from four
mills to less than two mills. Comment is
needless-Rsp. & Rep.
The new valuation of real estate has in
creased the taxable amounts SO that the
reduced rate of '1ess than two mills will
raise as much money in our city as the
four mills levy did.

should have more to say. Now. as our
