The Convention on Tuesday was a de-
cided success IN every respect. The at
tendance was large and composed of gen.
tlemen of character and standing from all
parts of the county. This, and the har-
mony & good feeling that prevailed, speak
well for the result in October. Among
the delegates we noticed many old and
substantial citizens; and also many youn-
ger men, just ;comm encing, as 1t were, to
lend hand in the work of restoring just
government.
Among the older gentlemen present
were Col. T. S. Webb, Geo Welker and J q.
B. Estep, Massillon; James Mcdowell
and A Pontius, Plain Tp; Esqr Schmach-
tenberger, John Carson and V. Mong,
Paris Tp; Esqr Dagger, Jacob Werlz and
W. McKimm, Osnaburg Tp; Dr. Pardee,
of Marlboro Tp; Esqrs. Geib, Bolender
and Raber, of Lake Tp; VIM. Reynolds,
H. Bleakley and others of Alliance; L.
Hammer, of Jackson TIP; Esqr. Breeze,
of Fulton Esqr Krider and JOS Oberlin,
of Tuscarawas E. R. Speaker and Jacob
McFarren, of Sugarcreek, and many 9TH
ers whom we cannot call to mind. We
regret cur secretaries did not furnish a
complete list of the delegates. Our youn-
ger friends were so numerous that we
shall not attempt from memory any emu
meration.
So far we have heard nothing but ex-
pressions of the highest satisfaction and
one and all agree that good work was
well and satisfactorily done

A MOST tuneful and wei ll-behaved or
gan has heretofore been the Cleveland
Herald. 1t has been unrivaled in its
support of the administration. But re-
cent events have stirred it into an un-
wonted manner, and it has on several
occasions spoken its opinions of the new
Minister to Japan in way more frank
than complimentary. 1t now speaks
again, and with feelings evidently far
from pacifed: "lf President Grant
shows warm, political side to such men
as Ben. Butler and John a. Bingham,
covered all over as they are by the iniq-
uity of the salary grab, the President
will soon have the cold shoulder of nine
tenths of the Republicans that made him
President. We have tried to think that
Bingham's appointment was due to
false idea of a pledge the President gave
Bingham, long before the grab was per-
petrated, but if there is any truth in the
report that the President favors Butler,
we shall be ready to believe there is no
excuse for Gen. Grants course IN regard
to Bingham. The President just now
could not PICK out for his own reputation
among those whose good opinion he ought
to value two worse men to tie to than
the two B's- Butler and Bingham"

THE POPULAR VOTE PLAN OF
NOMINATING.

Over twenty-five yearg ago the Democ-
racy of Stark county adopted the so-called
popular vote mode of nominating their
county tickets. The change from the
delegate, or convention system took place
before we became connected with the
STARK Co. DEMOCRAT, and has been
continued till this time. Hence we were
not in a situation that we cared to show
the defects in the system.
The idea in the popular vote plan, usu-
ally entertained, is that the people are
nominating-that the majority rules
This is great mistake; for when more
than two candidates seek nomination for
the same position, a plurality nominates
by this plan.
This was demonstrated lately at the
Radical primary meetings in this county.
Mr.. Hookwsy. of Massillon, was nomin-
ated for Treasurer, although he got but
1888 out of an aggregate vote of 4l00-a
little over one fourth. March for Sheriff
got 885, the highest of seven candidates
nominated who gets only about one-ffth
of the votes polled Mr. Traby was re-
nominated for County -GonarszizsioneT, The
highest in three, by getting 1745, consid-
erably less than half
Now, this feature is the great defect in
the popular vote plan. 1t enables the
most INSCRIPTIONS and Objectionable man
to succeed.
The greatest monstrosity, however, ex-
hibited in the late popular vote at the
Radical primary meeting was in Senator
The vote in Carroll and Stark was Har-
desty, 2.O9S; Perdue, ,964; Coates 1,637;
The delegates chosen to carry out the
popular will nominated Mr.. Perdue This
shows that the most unscrupulous objec-
tionable and corrupt man is very apt to
succSed-at least in the radical party.
In the delegate convention plan, it
takes majority to nominate. No man
can receive the nomination there with
less than majority vote.
Our friends throughout the county are
all aware of the disgraceful system of
electioneering sometimes resorted to by
candidates for nomination under the old
plan of the popular vote. The Radicals
this fall have had full, indeed an over
dose. The honest voters of that party
are utterly disgusted with the proceedings,
and their candidates who succeeded in
getting the nominations by the most out
rageous means.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1873-07-24

Resolved, That the Liberal Republicans and
Democrats of Stark county see no necessity for
declaring departure from the position they oe;
eupied during the lastPresidential campaign and
that they adhere firmly to the principles of the
Cincinnati and Baltimore platform, and have full
confidence in their ultimate approval by the
American people.
Resolusd That we favored and approved the
movement last year that made Horace Greeley
to General Grant, and we point to the Credit Mo
bilier and Salary Grah developments of the last
few months evidence of the correctness of
that policy. and can only regret that ability and
integrity did not succeed over the narroW-mind-
ed, selfish and corrupt instruments Of power.
ReSelUed That a cordial union of all good citi-
zens desirous ofrestoring honest and economic
al goVernms Mt will redeem Stark County ana the
State of Ohio this fall from the grasp of the party
Grant, Wilson, Butler, Bingham, Garfield and 9TH
ers worthy of such association.
Mr.. Edward Brooke being called upon
for few remarks responded most happily,
cordially endorsing the sentiments of the
resolutions and pledging himself if elect
ed to use his best endeavors to labor for
the public good.
johnson Sherrick, in answer tc the call
thanked the convention for their kindness
He also most heartily endorsed the reso-
lutions and hoped to be able to labor a
little on the stump before the election.
Mr.. Sourbeck, being called for, thanked
the convention most heartily, and being
no speech maker would not infict them
with any further remarks.
A. L. Jones, Esq, of Alliance, came for
ward at the call He endorsed fully the
resolutions, spoke of the acknowledged
need of reform and trusted the day was
near at hand when a change in popular
sentiment would be manifest through the
ballot box.
Doctor Lamborn, the Chairman, being
called upon for some remarks before put
ting the question, responded in his usual
happy and forcible style for some time.
The Doctor dwelt upon the historical fact
that refOrm never comes from the party
In power. 1t must come from the minor
ity by becoming the majority, and dis
placing the former corrupt possessors of
power. The Doctor spoke at length and
was frequently interrupted by applause,
as indeed were the other gentlemen.

BILE were adopted, mem. con.
On motion of w, A. Lynch, Democrats

GRANT's candidate for Governor OF
Massachusetts,, Salary Grabber Bea Butler,
addressed temperance meeting at Franz
inghan on the Fourth, at the close Of
which he was called upon to state whether
he is among the friends or opponents Of
the present liquor law in that State. The
"hero of Fort FISHER" said that "asking
questions at Fourth of July celebration
is like whistling at a funeral" The
question was put again and again, but
Ben, who was always known to pull for
the side that pays best, paid no attention
thereto and quickly left the stand and the
grove.

THE CHESTER TRAGEDY.

BALTIMORE, July ia correspondent

who accompanied Sheriff Gill, with the
prisoner, Undertook, from Baltimore, tel
egraphs to-day: Yesterday afternoon your
correspondent went to Penningtonville
and visited the locality of the great crime
and had the body of the mysterious agent
exhumed. The corpse, although it was
greatly decomposed, still showed the
shape of the head and general contour OF
the features very perfectly Comparing
it with photograph of Goss, the similar
ity was noticed by ALL A seal ring, the
same that was found In the wagon has
been identded as having belonged to
Goss, and other circumstantial evidence
brought out which, in the opinion of all,
establishes the identity Of the murdered
man as w. S. Goss.

THE Salem Republican says Perdue
will be elected by large majority. -
When Rukenbrod goes to the Senate, he
will see either All. Haines or Ed. Ferrall
from the Stark and Carroll District. Half
pints don't count two and three votes, I"
as much at an election as at nomination.
There is something rotten in Perdue's
nomination, and if Rukenbrod can't see it
he can easily find out.-Cdrr0H Chronicle.
Perdue's nomination is anything but
clean-else bow comes it, that, while Mr.
Hardesty, worthy and competent gen.
tleman, got 124 more of the popular vote
than Mr.. Perdue. yet the latter got the
nomination? It locks like Grants Louis

ANOTHER RING COMES To GRIEF.
The Board of Health, another ring institution
of this District, is in bad way. Congress last
winter made lavish appropriations for il, which
have been principally swallowed up in paying
the salaries and junketing expenses of the mem
beTs of the Board These parties have in turn
visited nearly all the principal cities of the
country on the pretense of examining into their
sanitary regulations, and their hotel and wine
bills have been paid out of the peoples funds
At meeting Of the Board tonight the Treasu.
rer stated that its funds were entirely exhausted
and that unless more money was raised in some
way the Board must suspend operations. This is
q pleasant prospect for the people OF Washington,

PARTY lines seem to be much demoral-
lied in Maine, and it is probable that this
led the late Republican State Convention
into the oversight of not indorsing Gen.
Grants Administration. Several hun
dred Republicans of Aroostook County,
led by some of the most prominent mem
bers of the party in that section, recently
held Peoples" Convention and nomin-
ated county ticket comprising both Re-
publicans AID Democrats. 1t is thought
that the Democrats will indorse the entire
ticket. 1t is also reported that the Dem
ocratic party of the State is divided as to
the best mode of carrying on the coming
campaign. A large part is in favor of is
suing an address calling upon the people
to unite in Peoples Reform party, ire
spective of past political affiliations. This
sentiment, however, has been overruled
in the Democratic State Committee, and
that body has decided to issue call for a
regular Democratic Convention, to meet
at Portland on Aug. z.
