The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1874-09-24

The New York Democracy, in State
Convention last week at Syracuse, adopt
ed a platform full Of pith, point and
good sense. In it is no dodging no
Aummery, no long-winded shilly-shall-
iness. In fact, the platform is a model
of brevity and good Democratic sense.
May we have more such. The nomi-
nees, too, as far as we can judge, are
worthy: Tilden, for Governor; Dorsh-
elmer, for Lieutenant-Governor; Adm
Thayer, Canal Commissioner; George
II. Wagner, State Prison Inspector; and
Theodore Miller, Judge Court of Appeals,
The platform and Governor Seymour's
speech will be found in this issue of the
DEMOCRAT. We doubt not the good peo-
pie of New York State will ratify the
noble work of their delegates in conven-
tion.

IN TENNESSEE

There seems to be a slight conflict OF
authority between the Federal and State
mowers as to the arrest and trial Of the
Trenton iail-breakers. 1t seems sixteen
negroes were committed to the Jail Of
Gibson county charged with conspiracy
to take the lives of white citizens on the
night of August 25th. A party of dis
puised men entered the Jail and took
these prisoners forcibly from the jailer,
and killed four and wounded two, the
remainder escaping. Governor Brown
Immediately offered q reward of five
hundred dollars each for these unknown
offenders. Forty-one have been arrest
ed and indicted for the outrage.
Governor Brown, of that State, tele-
graphed to the President regarding the
matter. He says the State authorities
have manifested most earnest desire to
enforce the law against the guilty parties,
and have demonstrated both their dis
position and ability to enforce it, and
protect all citizens without regard to
race The Governor complains that, not
withstanding this, the United States
Marshal for the Western Division of
Tennessee, with the aid Of detachments
of troops, is making arrests of citizens
for The same ofensc with which they
are charged in the State courts. He
protests against this exercise of jurisdic-
ton, and asks the President to order its
cessation, and that the persons already
arrested be turned over to the State
Courts for trial, their authority being
ample for the public protection.
"This authority is exercised by the
Federal officers under the Enforcement
Act, and if it was ever intended to ac-
complish any good purposes at all, it is
in localities where the State authorities
refuse, or are powerless to act. There
never nus Dttl all lllStdilOS III NlliNl hNe'O
authorities have used more vigilant and
successful efforts to bring outlaws to
Justice than has Governor Brown and
the State authorities of Tennessee. The
Governor has gone in person into the
turbulent districts and remained there
until the arrests were made, and it isno
right that this Federal interference with
his prerogatives should be allowed. If
the Governor had refused to perform his
duties, or shown impotency or inability
in the matter, there might be an excuse
for it but re-arresting men who are al
ready bound over to court to answer for
the same offense, is something new in
this country, and will give some color to
the accusations of the Democrats, that
the Federal interference has the coming
elections more than the quiet of the
communities in view"

We getting deep into the period of
centennials. Last winter the hundredth
anniversary of the Boston Tea Party
was commemorated by drinking the
boughtcn tea that the Continentals repu-
dated. On Saturday, of last week, the
centenary of the meeting Of the Colonial
Congress at Carpenters Hall, Philadel-
phia, was duly celebrated Next April
the battle of Lexington, and, in the June
following, that Of Bunker's Hill, will be
the subjects of appropriate remem-
brance. All these are very good fore
runners Of the anniversary of 1916, over
which Philadelphia is getting excited.

THE Cleveland Herald thinks that Til
toms late statement, which is very long,
is complete refutation of some of the
findings of the committee and calculated
to enlist sympathy on his side which
will require Mr.. Beecher to defend him
self. Suit having been commenced
against Moulton, the whole matter will
probably be developed in the Courts.

GOVERNOR ALIENS few general remarks
at the picnic at Mt. Vernon, got up by
the Patrons Of Husbandry, riled up
Grants Secretary of the Interior, who
was present, Mr.. Delano. The Governor
spoke of farmers not forming rings to
bribe Congress-spoke of the extrava-
gance and corruption so prevalent in the
land and how labor and honest business
were robbed, &c. All this, we say, riled
Delano, who followed Governor Allen in
a speech and sailed in, making bitter
reply and personal attack upon the Gov
ernor. His remarks were cut short by
the rain, and the Governors rejoinder
possibly cut off too. William Allen new
er forgets the proprieties and amenities
of life. Our Governor is ever the courte-
GUS gentleman.

WE have no doubt there are plenty of
chaps all over the country who would be
delighted to have another war They
want to be paymasters, suffers, commits
saries, contractors and officers. 1t is a
matter Of indifference to them, whether
the national debt and all our taxes are
doubled, or how many widows and or
phans are made. Nothing but blood will
atone for their injured rights. But when
the tug comes, they are found in the rear
looking after the spoils.-Erchdngs.

THE Republican party has ruled the
country for fourteen years, and its organs
cannot deny that it is responsible for the
stagnation in the iron business; for
the reduction of workingmen's wages
throughought the country; for so many
thousands thrown out of employment /;
for the suffering Of the families of poor
mechanics; for the great schemes of
plunder which took millions of dollars
out of the national treasury-the Credit
Mobilier steal, the District of Columbia
frauds, the Salary Grab, and all the
schemes of rascality exposed within the
past few years; for reducing work, busi-
ness, and everything but taxes and sal
aries of the President and government
officials, which they have greatly in
creased. 1t now asks for another lease
of power; shall they have it? This
question must be answered at the polls
in October next.
