SINCERITY.

In the long run, sincerity pays; and
this in all the relations of life-soclal po-
litical and commercial. Outspoken, fiat
footed people very often offend refined
taste in their lack of policy-their per-
sistent way of stating unpalatable truths
upon inopportune occasions-but, after
all, there is real comfort in knowing that
you have heard the worst of it, and that
there is nothing covered up. The man
who impetueusly run his hand into a
woodchuck hole, and got bit for his rash
ness, uttered the elements of great prin-
ciple, when he drew his bleeding hand out
and exclaimed, "I'm awful glad the critter
bit me, for now 1 know he is thereP Very
few people like to be bit, eveU by wood
chuck, but if the knowledge which comes
through such suffering is worths the price
paid for it, nobody c.n honestly say the
being bitten Is a calamity.
The fact is, we all like to know he is
there !" and we feel very uneasy and dis
satisfied until we do know. Only have 1t
distinctly understood that person says
Just what he thinks, and all questions Of
taste and policy will disappear as vapor
before the great sunlight of SINCERITY
Exchange.
The foregoing is a capital article. and
should be read and re-read, especially by
the young. Fix in the mind correct prin-
ciples and act up to them without fear OF
favor. Treat all persons with proper re-
spect, but preserve your own self-reepect
and conscientious independence In all
things be truthful and sincere.

The above table will be found useful for
reference, and we advise our friends to pre-
serve it for the future 1t should con-
vince every Democrat in Stark county
that whenever we make thorough and
united effort, so as to get out our vote
We can redeem the county. Whenever
we despise and scorn impudence and eff
frontery and treat them as we should do !;
whenever we realize the Importance of
united action and meet boldly the tools of
power and money, then we shall route the
party of despotism
Corruption is the rule now. The very
head OF our government is rotten with it
And every avenue of the administration
is tainted with the gangrenel This isnot
denied The Democracy hoist the banner
of Reform, Economy and Integrity Our
Government now is only an engine OF
despotism and robbery, Weappeal to the
People for change!

The Democracy of Ohio have again de-
feated themselves. Noyes is elected Gov
ernor by fewer votes than were received
by any successful candidate for that Office
in twelve years. His total vote does not
exceed 237, 900, whilst that cast for Thur
man, the defeated Democratic candidate
for Governor IN 1867, was 240,622. This
furnishes another instance of the culpaple
neglect of Democrats to avail themselves
of opportunities furnished to elect their
ticket by simply vOting their strength
Very many counties of the State did ad
mirably, and some of these were locali-
ties where it was expected "the new de-
parture" would prove hard thing to en-
counter. But in a majority of counties
in the State, there was a lack of proper
WORK and a corresponding decline in the
number of Democratic voters at the polls.
The official returns of the entire State,
will show that the vote cast for Thurman
in 1867 was nearly $4,000 greater than
was pollea this year for McCook and the
balance of the State ticket. Whilst such
facts as these stare Democrats In the face,
they have no one but themselves to curse
for the continuance of Radical rule Prob
ably if Grant and his party, would dis
franchise the absentees for few years,
they would afterwards be more careful to
do their duty at important political cleo
tions.-NelcdTE AdUOcGte.

sEvERYTHINc FOR THE CAUSE.

The result of the late election speaks
wen for the Democrats of Knox, and is a
good augur for the future. If there were
any heart-burnings, let them be forgotten,
and everything be made to yield to our
future success. No matter how just may
be the cause of party, success can only
be attained by the exercise Of good faith,
and a spirit of compromise. eg'
Republicans are already cracking their
Jokes at the cost Of those Democrats who
tore off the State ticket; and boast of the
bad feeling they caused among certain
disappointed candidates for nomination
When Democrats go to Republicans for
sympathy, they will always be paid in that
kind of coin. Humbugged first, and then
laughed at.-Mt. Vernon Banner.
Just so in Stark. The knowing ones
laugh at the way they whipped in men
who had made up their minds to vote the
Democratic ticket. Firmness of purpose
and manhood IL action are necessary quail
tiles. Every man of sense knows that
public affairs are mismanaged by the per-
ty in power-that corruption rules the
hour-and that the only hope for the
country is in change that will displace
the rings ruled by the knayes.

Although full returns from all parts Of
Ohio, have not been yet received. the Co
llumbus papers think enough has been
ascertained to render it certain that "CoR-
stitutional Convention-yes," has pre-
vailed by large majority. The two coun-
ties of Hamilton and Cuyahoga, give q
combined majority of 42,ls7 in favor of q
Convention-the majority in Hamilton
being 81, S52 and in Cuyahoga 1885. The
balance of the State is about equally di'
vided. &
The Convention will probably be helC
next summer, and the members elected IL
April. But these and other matters per
taining thereto, must be fixed by the Leg
islature.
We hope revising the Constitution .
the State will n6t leave it in worse shape

wisest and most capable men be seleete'
as delegates.

The vote for Noyss for Governor will
not exceed $4,000. In 1867, four years
ago, the Democracy gave Judge Thurman
247, 900 votes Even in 1868 they gave
Horatio Seymour 2SS.O00 votes. With
the natural increase there must be 100000
Democrats, at least, in Ohio. Where
would Noyes have been if this Democrat
ic vote, or even those of 1867 and 1868
had been given? If Democrats will not
take the trouble to turn out, they must
expect to be beaten.
Summit county did well at the late
election, giving NOyes but 652 majority
over McCook when two years ago the rad
ical majority on Governor was /, 500.
1t seems the ten Western Reserve coun-
ties gave about $4,000 majority for NOyes
That would show that the restof the State
gave McCook two or three thousand ma
| iority.

THAT LIE.

BEFORE the election, Mr.. Wales and
other radical stumpers of this county, as
well as their organ, charged that the rail-
way company through their attorney
Hon. living Brooks. of Salem, was aiding
the Democracy with money and laboring to
defeat the Republican ticket, especially
Mr.. Wales for the Senate. 1t seems
Mr.. Brooks, who is an ardent Repub-
lican, telegraphed the Rep and Rep
folks to deny the charge for him. and to
say that he was anxious for the success of
the Republican ticket in Stark, including
Mr.. Wales, The telegram was suppressed
and the lie was reiterated, Mr.. Wales re-
peating it at Alliance the night before the
election. It is small business for any one
to resort to such baseness, and surely a
Senator of Ohio should be above this
thing of bearing false witness. But, how
this radical world is given to lying just
before election Why does not the Rep
& Rep yet produce Mr., BrOOks's state
ment, in Justice to that gentlemen and out
Of regard to truth? The truth will not
hurt now, for it is after election. The lie
has accomplished all that was intended.

% Our old friend A. NJ. jackson, Esq, OF
Bucyrus, has been elected Judge Of the
Court of Common Pleas of that district
notwithstanding the farce opposition he
encountered from the Republicans and
boiling Democrats. This result is highly
gratifying and we congratulate Mr.. jack
son on his success. His opponent was
Judge Mott, of Upper sandusky, who was
defeated in the Democratic Convention for
renomination. and who most dishonorably
bolted and of course became tool of the
radical leaders. We rejoice to see ell such
scurvy politicians and disorganizers laid
out. No man is good Democrat who al

circumstances, to jeopardize party success

The New Baptist church EdiHce

On the corner of Market and 9th street,
west side, the old Kimball lot residence.
presents an imposing appearance. 1t IS
not finished, except as to the brick and
stone work, roof, &c. The inside work IS
making rapid progress, and the steeple
will soon take shape, and in due time one
of the finest edifces for Christian worship
in Canten or any other town will be ready
for occupancy.
The style is gothic, and the elegant ar
rangement of brick and stone show well.
/ The stone work sets off the edifice most
handsomely the mingling and arranging
of the white and pink stone from the Mas
sillon quarries impresses the observer at
once. The handsome stone work about
| the main entrance with its attractive ar
rangement speak well for the skill and
taste of the mechanic who had the Job,
who, we learn, was Mr.. D. w. STABLER,
of our city. When Canton has such work
ers in stone, it is unnecessary to look else
where for men to do elegant work In that
line. Each cerner of the belfry has pill
lar of the pink stone, which sets of that
part Of the structure, and is another speci-
men of excellent workmanship. There is
no building in our city exhibiting finer
taste, or showing better workmanship N

suffice to say that the edifce to be erected,
