DEMOCRATS OF STARK; If you
have not already done it, you should at
once organize by townships and School
Districts. Everything depends upon a
thorough aud complete organization. The
election is next Tuesday, October Il Ev-
cry wsll-wisher Of his country should put
his shoulder to the wheel, and cheerfully
and zealously work for the good of the
whole. A complete triumph is within
the reach of the people if they will only
embrace the opportunity. See that our

VOTE THB TICKET.

A vote given to any candidate on the
radical ticket is now the same as a vote
to sustain the r~ascalities of the Grant
Administration. Ed. Lee, Wilcox, March,
Hookway and the whole of them will vote
for the President for a third term, and per
haps to keep him there for life. The re-
sponsibilities of the Credit Obilier and
Salary-grab measures new rests upon the
Republican party and all its aiders and

accountability for their corrupt ons. Dem

by any means in an exultIng manne but
more in sorrow than IN anger, expressing
