MA 7ERLAL FOR THE OFFICE HOLD
ERS CONVENTION. ne
From the Kew YORK Ttibune.

As a set-off against the accounts that
have come from districts in the South, of
outrages on the colored people, we now
have reports by telegraph of equally
violent proceedings on the part of Uni
ted States Marshals and soldiers. In
Sumter county, Alabama. The delegates
to a political convention are placed un-
der arrest; private residences are sur
rounded and entered; citizens are hand
cufed; children are shot at. There is
plenty of material here for the Conven-
ton Of Southern Republicans to study,
when it meets to learn the sufferings OF
the South.

The following is the ninth and last
plank in the platform adopted by the
epublican State Convention held
in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday Sep

We deprecate the action of the pres
ent General Assembly in recognizing
the punitive and benevolent institutions
of the State for the merely partisan and

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1874-10-15

The advent of the Board Of Construc-
ton appointed by Gov. Allen brought
about a complete change. Mr.. Tinsley'
a Republican, was appointed architect,
not an architect such as Peck, but emln-
emily qualified for the position. No
mans politics were inquired into;3 is he
honest and competent were the only
questions asked. During the time the
Board has been in power, about five
months, more work has been done, and
done better, than during the preceding
two years. No contractor has been
ffeeced, no laboring mans wages stolen
The peoples interest has been held par
amount to private gain. Was the change
for merely partisan and political pur-
poses9" Was it made in the interest OF
honesty, economy, and the taxpayer
In every instance in which change was
made by the Democracy it has been
shown to have been made in the interest
Of the people Of the State. That i will
be of a partisan and political benefit to
the Democratic party we doubt not, fol
they pledged the people retrenchmeni
and reform. and have redeemed then
pledge. li3f jlk8i

and kissed her tender mouth, her wavy
hair, and her slim, pale, faithful hands.

WASHING.

Muslin dresses, even the most del
icate, can be cleaned in ten minutes or
a quarter Of an hour, without losing
their color. Melt half pound of
soap in a gallon Of water, empty in
washing tub place near two other
large tubs of clean water, and stir
into one a quart of bran. Put the
muslin in the soap, turn it over and
knead it for a few minutes squeeze
it out well but do nos wiring 1t, lest it
turn rinse it about quickly in the
bran for couple Of minutes. Rinse
again for couple of minutes in clean
water. Squeeze it out dry and hang
it between two lines. A clear, dry
day should be chosen to wash muslin
dresses half dozen may be done
this way in halt an hour. The last
rinse may be prepared the same way
as the rinse Tor woolen fabrics. A
cololed pattern on white ground
must not be blued. The bran may
here be dispensed with. When the
dress is dry make the starch ; for a
colcred muslin white starch, and IN
boiled, but made with boiling water
is best for muslin dresses. Stir the
starch with the end of a wax candle.
Dip The dress. Hang it again to
dry. When dry, rinse it quickly and
thoroughly in clear water. Hang it
to dry again, Sprinkle and roll it up;
afterward iron it with very hot irons.
Hot irons keep the starch stiff. The
rinsing after starching IS called clear
starching; none Of the stiffness but
sN#
much of .he unsightliness ofthe starch
is removed in this way. The advan~
tace of thus cleansing dresses instead
of washing them is: First, if colored,
the process is so rapid that there is
not time for the colors to run; and
secondly the fabric is not rubbed, land
therefore not strained and worn out;
the process saves nearly all
labor, and is 50 quickly done that any
lady can manage il for herself in the
absence Of laundry maid or ladys

CONSOLATION

There is placed within the compass
OF each individuals powers
Plans and schemes whose wise unfolding
Will display the richest dowers.
There are enterprises waiting,
In which, if he will embark,
He will gain Lame and notice,
He will surely make his mark.
Tfyou cannot lend the armies
OF your country proudly forth,
Wrapping glory. like mantle,
Round form of greatest worth
Tfyou cannot charge the legions
In the thickest OF the fight,
You can drive a suffers wagon,
Or can lead the hosts-in fight.
IF YOU cannot be the wisest,
Truest, nobest in the land !;
If you can't with saints and Swans
Guardians Of yonr country stand,
You, perhaps, can play Butler,
Casey, Tweed or Murphy's part;
You may fad their "black art" suited
Better to your gifts and heart.
It you can not be Rothschild,
Stewart. Vanderbilt or Drew,
IL you can't be gods or princes,
Soothing at the pleheian crew,
You can be wandering peddler,
Vending tape and pins and lace;
For this world has some niche for You,
Searching we'll you'll find your place.
If you cannot be Beecher,
Sturgeon, Cuyler, Spear or Hall,
Chaihing nations, holding empires,
By your wondrous magic thrall.
You con be travelling Snowman,
Or with crcuses disport
For, If You can't preach, It's Uaulttng,
You, perhaps, will find your forte.
II you can not at conventions
With Miss Anthony preside,
Or with Livermore and Stanton
Raise your "IordlY crest of pride"
You can sweep the streets and alleys,
Lest the rainathat last night fell
Shall despoil the silks and laces
Of the "dashing Broadway belle"
II you can't be queen OF Fashion,
Wave mystic golden wand, -e
While at each new whim or notion
Maid and matron quick respond;
You can wash your neighbours linen,
Scour his floors. his table spread;
III you can not make the fashions.
Try your skill at making bread.
Efyou can not 90 to Europe,
Visit Paris, London, Rome,
Bearing letters. fattering, gracious.
From your transatlantic home
Hear the daily tgeekly journals
or your wit and beauty boast,
While at home papa is paying
For eack thousand dollar toast
You can seek the nearest mill .ponu,
Where the geese in flocks resort.
There perhaps you'll get the homage
That you'd vainly seek at court.
And, at length, if no election"
To heavenly seat you gain,
II you can't with Paul and Isaac
Tent upon the heavenly plain;
You can on the Styx with Cato,
Linger, while the sheeted dead
Pass in crowds tie Champs Eiysees,
Winch your feet may never tread.
