The Democracy Of Stark county have very SEN
siby abolished the popular vote system OF max
Democratic stronghold, but the chickering's,
eorraptiens slantieys, protraeted strifes. expen-
tisneerers and the general decentralization Incl
dent 10 popular vote nominations brought the
reward OF defeat. Columbiana, Mahoning, Por-
tage and numerous other once strongly Demo
cratic couhsies were carried to the enemy by the
popular vote System of making nominations
Richland county haE also abolished the system.
There are new very few counties in tho Slate in
which it is adhered 10. and the system should be
abolished here in Henry county. 1t should be
done. before the fall Nomination are made
North West
There is too much truth IN the forego-
ing. though it does not all apply to Stark.
county. The expense and chickering's
sometimes attending the popular vote
nominations are serious objections and it
was thought advisable by our friends to
try change for this year at least. Of
course. the point to be attained is to get a
good and strong ticket acceptable to all
who are opposed to radical Grant rule.
We speak for the heads and hearts of ouI
friends over the county when we say, let
us have such ticket, composed of the
right men, who can command the support
of Democrats, Liberals and Republicans
who are disgusted with the doings of the
corrupt Grant Administration. We say
let this be done in this county and in this
State and happy change will be the re-
suit
Let our friends consider carefully and
act sensibly.

FoRNEY's Philadelphia Press of last
week says that the ticket of the Repubi-
cans in Philadelphia announced on Tues
day. is we'll understood to be but 'the
formal ratification of the slate decided
upon by" the Radical office holders in
that city, and that the more important
nomination for State and City legislators
were made at all hazards Gin the interest
of the powers which have impoverished
the city and disgraced the State" 1t
proceeds to say that but for Senator
Mcclure, in the last session of the legisla-
ture the most obnoxious measures ever
proposed, would have become laws; and
he complains that through the influence
of the Philadelphia delegation Of his own
party the House rejected every measure
of relief for that sorely oppressed people.

THIRTY-Two members of the House of
Representatives have returned their back
pay. OF these 25 are Republicans and Z
Democrats. The House. when the Salary
bill was passed, was composed of 127 Re-
publicans and 1l2 Liberal Republicans
and Democrats. One Republican out of
Eve has proved faithful, but only one
member of the opposition out of sixteen
has done his duty. Voters will remember
this significant comparison.-RGdieGLPG-
perS.
The above Significant" article as usu-
al with radical Administration journals,
lodges the real, the vital point. We
know not whether the figures given are
correct, but 1t is certain that there was
but one man whose refusal to approve
could have defeated the Villainy, and that
man was PRESIDENT GRANT. How
careful these subservient organs are to
say nothing of this great and vital fact /!
With them "the king can do 70 wrong"
President Grants grab was in the front,
not back" His pay was One Hundred
Thousand Dollars front pay, no "baek
pay" II was a lovely arrangement, ac-
commodating members of Congress Just
retiring-members who were coming in,
and those who were to continue, as well
as providing that the President should
get fifty thousand dollars year instead
of twenty-five. Of course, President
Grant was not the man to veto such a
'sGrab"-it would not be in his line. All
this and much more did not prevent the
late radical State convention OF Ohio from
endorsing Grant and his Administration
We therefore maintain that the radical
organs and leaders approve of the Salary
villainy. None of them denOunce their
President for making the measure law.
Until they do this all else they may say
is nonsense, unworthy of attention or
consideration. What sort of consistency
is It in them 10 denounce Congress and
not che President for the Salary Grab ?
did not his apprOvGI make the measure a
'hW? Who then, as an individual, is
really responsible? None other than,

Answering Voices.

The response of the people to the call for
State Convention on the 3Oth of July is already
sufficient to indicate that public sentiment is
with il.
Among the recognized leaders of the DemO-
cratic party who have given in their adhesion are
such men as Hon Rufas p. Ranny, Hon Geo E.
Pu,h. Hon H ]. Jewett- and Hon. Thos. Ewing.
In n dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer OF Sat
urday, Gen. Ewing "says that he was not advised
with as 10 that movement but heartily approves
its general purpose, and hopes it may result in

sition into a popular uprising TO restore good

WHILE the Shah of Persia is squander-
ing his twenty-five millions of dollars in
his royal tour through Europe, and Rus
sia and England are spending twice as
much more in entertaining him, it may
not be very pleasing reflection for the
aristocratic ruler to know that thousands
of his people are dying of famine and dis
ease-all for the want of proper expen-
diturs of money in opening up the re-
sources of the country and giving It's
starving people chance to live.

Mr. HoADLY's plan of minority representa- tion,

many centuries and nations. His proposed Leg

The Alliance Monitor doesn't like the
ticket nominated by the Republicans of
this county, and particularly the candi
date for Treasurer. But then it's a mat
ter OF little consequence to the intelligent
voters OF the county.-MdSsiIlor Amer
icGn.
Is it "the candidate for Treasurer" that
Is "a matter of little consequence to the
intelligent voters of the county"2 Is a
man fairly and fully nominated who gets
but 1086 votes out of some 4l002 That
is, Mr.. Hookway gets but little over one
fourth OF the votes and is declared the
nominee He is the choice of but one out
ofthree Republicans in the county-while
one Republican for him three are against
him
But all this may be of "ittle con-
sequence" to Mr.. Hookway and the Mas
sillon American
The Sheriff nominee is still worse than
this, for March gets but $50 votes out of
some 41C0-less than one fourth This,
too, is of "ittle consequence" to March,
We suppose.
Mr.. Truby is renominated tor County
Commissioner by 1714 votes, considerably
less than one half ofthe votes polled
This shows the defect in the popular
vote mode of nominating. Here We see
men declared candidates, who are the
choice of about one fourth of their party.
All this might be avoided and should be.
A party in this way may get, and indeed
do get, the most Objectionable man for
their candidate. In scramble of this
kind, where four or seven candidates for
the same Office are intent on securing the
nomination, the most unscrupulous and
man is very apt to succeed
