The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-09-02

HENRY BLANDY, ESQ, of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, one of the largest iron workers in
the State, and large manufacturer OF
Portable Engines sold in all parts OF the
world, Col. T. ]. Maginnis, of the same
city, late Republican State Senator and
owner of the most extensive coal and
iron mines in Central Ohio, and Col. F.
Montgomery, late editor of the Logan
Republican, Radical organ of Hooking
county, have left the Radical party and
lately made speeches in behalf of the
Democratic State and county ticket at
the organization ofthe 9th Ward Demo-
cratic Club, of GAINESVILLE. Mr.. Blandy,
who is most eloquent and effective
speaker, declared that the present pros
tration of business was owing to the mis-
management of the finances and the ap-
palling corruptions of the Administra-
ton. A report of this speech says
He SAYS the Republican party had ac-
complished It's objects, and Its usefulness
lad ended that it had been subsidized
by the moneyed ari5tocracy; that it was
paralyzing the arm and brain of labor
that the combination Of that party with
the heartless Money Power should be
broken up, and the party destroyed II
necessary; that no labOring man should
submit to it so long as he had ballot to
vote against it in free country; thatthe
Democratic party presented the only al
ternative in its candidates and platform
now before the people ofOhio, in opposi,
ton to the ruinous contraction policy OF
the administration and the Republican
party, and it became his and every la
boring mans duty to vote the ticket OF
the party which maintained their cause
against grasping avarlce.
The action of these prominent gentle
men will certainly increase the vote very
largely for Gov. Allen in their coal and
manufacturing districts.
Col. Engle, an old veteran of Clinton
county, also says that
"He, Allen, is the best Governor Ohio
ever had; and, if God spares my iileqntl
the election, intend to cast my first Dem
ocratic vote although l have during my
life thus far voted the Wing and Repub'
lican tickets"
A correspondent of the Chillicothe Post
writes that
while in Solon, l met with Mr.. Kimble,
from Sandusky, who, until 1874, voted
Republican. He informed me that ex-
Governor Hayes would be beaten by
Governor Allen from 1000 to l,2OO in
Sandusky county; and also that in the
counties he had passed, the change in IA
vor of Allen is wonderful"

WHITE GUNPO WIDER.

White gunpowder is now made in con-
siderable quantities in Germany, good
article being formed by mixing 20 pwts
prussiate ofpotash, % parts sugar, and 40
parts cholorate ofpotash, In exploding
this powder, 100 parts of it yield 4744 of
gaseous products, and 52,56 of solid resi-
due. Ordinarily black gunpowder furn-
ishes some 3l.3S of gaseous products, and
6806 ofsolid residue. The efficiency of
gunpowder is easily tested or measured
by the gasses which are produced from
it by explosion; and tits claimed that an
equal weight of this white gunpowder
will produce l.67 times the explosive eff
feet of the black, so that, in order to OBJ
tain the same effect on projectiles and
mines, only go parts of the white gun
powderare required, as against 100 parts
of thecommon kind-the residue of the
white being also more cleanly, while the
heat generated when it isignitedis much
lower.

NEW PROCESS OF DENTAL SUR.
gerry.

Mr.. Napier, an English dentist, an
nounces what he considers to be some-
thing new in dental surgery, especially
in case where the teeth are extremely
sensitive, and it becomes necessary to
file them down for the purpose of intro
ducing artificial teeth on the stumps'
For the sake ofavoiding pain in the ope-
ration as far as possible, ether spray was
first made use of in reducing the sensibi-
lity of the teeth; piece of cotton dipped
in ether, and laid first on the teeth and
and then on the instrument, being found
to answer still better purpose. While
engaged in this operation it occurred to
Mr.. Napier to avoid the usual practice of
dentists (of extirpating the nerve), with
which object he took bit of hard wood
dipping it in nitric acid, and with this
cauterizing the exposed portion of the
nerve in each tooth successfully. He
then filed the teeth down to the level of
the gums without producing any p in
whatever. He found that in this way
the stump of the tooth remained perfect
ly healthy, giving no pain of any kind;
and the subsequent experiences of the
patients were of the most satisfactory
character.

THE REAL QUESTION AND HOW II
is TO BE ANSWERED.

The N. Y. Sun discussing the situation
in Ohio, makes the following allusion to
the real issue
The plain and the real question then
before the people of Ohio, which over
shadows all others, is, shall Grantism
with its enormities, corruption and ex-
travaganCe, robberies, demoralizing ef-
fects and destructive tendencies, be ap-
proved and sustained, or be rejected and
condemned? The Republicans have
declared the Administration of Gen.
Grant to be disgusting success" They
have invited contest on that issue, and
they are likely to be accommodated
to the fullest extent before next Octo-
ber.
While their platform is thus bold, the
party leaders and organs are already
shrinking from their own acts and secretly
organizing Know Nothing lodges of the
old pattern, in the hope of diverting at
tention from the subjects which concern
every mans freside, and of raising
false issue on the basis of sectarian preju-
dice. In fact, tbs now manifest from the
manner in which this Ohio resolution
has been repeated in other States, with
out pretext to justify it, that there is
concerted movement to transform what
is left of the Republican party into
proscriptive Know Nothing organiza-
ton.
Outside of Ohio. more than inside the
State, an outcry has been raised in re-
gard to the cure cy plank of the Demo
cratic platform, which differs from the
Republican in being outspoken and man.
ly, while the other is sneaking and mean,
Both are equally bad in this respect, and
they representa- division ofopinion which
is only too prevalent through the South
and West. This is the natural result of
the wretched financial policy of the Re-
publicans for the last nine years, during
which time they tinkered with the cur
rency in such way as to make the prCb
lem of resuming specie payments slow
and difficult, even under the most favor
ing circumstances.

BONAPARTFS FAREWELL,
BY LORD BYRON.

Farewell to the land, where the gloom of my
glory
Arose and o'ershadow'd the earth with her
namel aI.l
She ebbndodsme now-but the page of her story
The brightest or blacklist, is hlld with my fame
have ward with a world, which yanquished me
When the meteor of conquest allured me too
far
have coped with the nations, which dread me-
thus lonely, y s.a4..
The last single captive to millions in war
Farewell to thee, France-when thy diadem
crown'd me- 300 N
made thee the gem and wonder Of earth
But thy weakness DEGREES should leave as l
found thee,
Decayed In thy glory, and sunk in thy worth.
OH for the veteran hearts thatwer wasted,
In strife with the storm, whenther battles were
Then the eagle, whose gaze in that moment was
blasted,
Had still soar'd, with eyes fixed on victorys
SUM-
Farewell to thee, France-butwhen liberty rallies;
Once more in thy regions, remember me then
The violet growsin the depth of thy valleys,
Though withered, thy tears will unfold 1t again.
Yet, yet, may battle the hosts that surround me-
And yet may thy heart leap awake to my voice
They are links which must break in the chain
that has bound u.s.
Then turn thee, and call on the chief Of thy
voice

A FATHER MURDERS HIS CHILD.

Cincinnati, August 26-Gustave Hum
Ter, of Jamestown, Greene county, Ohio,
while intoxicated, last evening, made an
attempt to kill his wife. She fled across
the street to the house of neighbor.
Humler followed and made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to get in the house by
breaking the windows. He then threat
ened to return to his house and kill the
child, which was about eighteen months
old, thinking this threat would induce
his wife to come out, but it failing to have
the desired g ect, he returned to his
house, procured table knife, sharpened
it upon the stove, took the infant from
the arms of his little girl, twelve years
old, laid it upon the floor, and deliber-
ately cut its threat from ear to ear. He
then threw the child and knife upon the
bed, and went back and told his wife
what he had done. He was afterwards
arrested. He still regrets he did not kill
his wife.

WHO is RESPONSIBILITY
Governor Allen, in recent speech in
Ohio, remarked

Governor Allen, in recent speech in
Ohio, remarked:
"If specie payments are good thing,
the Republicans are responsible for their
postponement. They put them off, be-
cause they knew Presidential election
would have to occur before four years,
and they knew if they undertook to en-
force specie payments before that elec.
ton, they would be utterly ruined with
the American people. They know that
an attempt to enforce that act would
spread bankruptcy and ruin throughout
the land. There is great deal ofmoney
locked up, and not borrowed and put
into use, because men have the threat of
the Specie Payment act right before
them, and will not borrow money, worth
only eighty cents on the dollar, and the
prospect of having to repay it in year
or two, at the rate of 100 cents on the
dollar. That would have the effect to
break down every business man in the
country who borrows money. The re-
sumption of specie payments by a retro
spective act that would embrace all ex-
isting contracts would be an outrage, an
infamy, and an absolute impossibility
short ola revolution"
