THE Stark County Democrat o paper
that when it strikes plants the blow right
between your eyes, never hitting you in
the back, has good opinion ofthe Cleve-
land Herald for freshness and news, but
with its political complexion. it says, I'VE
can't and pont Try to agree" The italics
are our own, but we wished TO emphasize
those two words because they are 80 hu-
man-nature-y. We all feel just that way
ut times, but we all won't own It. A par
| ty to which all ones life you have been
opposed, may, under the whiiligig of po-
litical necessity, come right on the plat
form you have advocated year in and year
out, but you uon't Try to agree with your
old enemy, and 80 you whip around and
oppose what once you advocated. Our
FREUD of the Democrat in those two words
holds the mirror up to nature-"we won't
try" That tells half the story of human
disagreempnts. We won't try to be a
Democrat, and that's the end of the argu-
ment. But that's very well in politics,
for if men are sensible they, on party
measures and principles, will agree to dis
agree, and hence no violence is done to
personal feelings, nor need there be rup-
lure Of personal regard.
But won't try" when applied to any
other than political differences the bane
of life. 1t gets into business relations, 1t
embiters the social circle, 1t Creeps into
religious matters, and 1t plays the mis-
chief generally. Oh, if we could but
eradicate that won't try" from all asso-
Citations of life. save political ones, this
world woult be saveda y "heap" of trouble,
family circles would remain unbroken,
and half the law litigation be saved

Our friends of the Herald were in a
uhlosophizing mood when they threw

A Republican friend the other day de-
clared to lis he would not vote for Grant
if he should be nominated, and we re-
market to him he might not vote for
Grant, hut he would vote against that
other fellow, Grants opponent. This il
lustrates the way often done, "denounce
the wrong and still the wrong pursle,"-
How "hnman nature-y." Weagree decid-
edly with the Herald that the won't try"
should be only applied to politics. When,
by sad experience, all political parties
shall settle down to truth, Justice, the
Constitution, honesty and economy, they
will agree without trying. We say, let
that time come.

A LARGE number of prominent citizens
in conjunction with the Emmett Guard
Cornet Band, rendered Hon. H. B. Payne
a serenade, Thursday night, previous to
his departure for Washington. Mr.. Payn,
made a speech in reply to the remarks OF
Judge Robert F. Payne, in which he de-
clared himself unequivocally in favor Of
the repeal of the Sherman resumption
bill, stigmatising it as dangerous and in-
iquitous, and predicting that failure to
repeal it would be public calamity. He
counseled a moderate course on the f.
nancial question, urging concessions by
all, and favoring an intermediate course.

PosrMAsTER GENERAL JEWELS enemies
as far ~ known, are Senator Spencer, of
Alabama, champion of fraudulent mail
contractors; Boss Shepard, the District
ofColumbia Tweed; Postmaster Burt, OF
Boston, whose removal was threatened
by Mr.. Jewell; and Ben Butler. The
friendship of these men would be good
ground forremoval.- Youngstown Register
The Register ought to state in this con-
nection that Boss Shepherd fares better
than Tweed and seems to be the favorite
at the White House. He is a power in
the Republican party.
