There were only twenty candidates at Louisville
last Saturday evening; only twenty, more or less
with chances two to one In favor of more. The
complicated system of hand-shaking that was ex.
hibited was sufficient to make one imagine the
whole crowd was going through the grand right
and left, in confused quadrille.
About two hundred Cantonians were present at
Louisville last Saturday evening. The band feels
greatly encouraged by the interest manifested in
their success and they will probably visit Canal

T,J. MCSwEENEY, Esq, to whose law card we
called attention in the DEMOCRAT, got the follow
ing complimentary notice from the Muskegon
(Nich.) NeUs and Reporter of June 9th, ult
I'VE regret to announce that T. j. Mcsweeney,
ESQ., well known as being one of the ablest and
most talented lawyers in this Judicial Circuit, is,
owing to ill-health in his family, compelled to
abandon his practice here. Mr. McSweeney is
among the youngest of the members of the bar in
this county, yet his large practice and uniform
success has given him reputation, especially in
the criminal branch of his profession that might
well make the eldest envious of his abilities We
understand he contemplates removing to Ohio.
We wish him success in his new field"

THE 10Th day of August will be long remembered
in the annals of Canton, for on that day one of the
greatest shows on earth will give grand holiday
exhibition to our citizens. On that day the ia
nous John Robinson's Worlds Exposition will
pitch its tents and present to the public the vast
wonders of grand Menagerie, Aquarium and
Complete Circus Old John Robinson's name
and fame are too well known to require much no
tice, but this season he has gone so far ahead Of
all prior efforts that we yield him our personal
endorsement knowing how well he merits it He
seems to spend his immense wealth with generous
hand, and has this season lavished over sixty
thousand dollars more upon his mammoth show
which had already cost over one million dollars
The intrinsic merit. of his vast concern made him
a success, and the old adage that Success makes
success is fully proved by his lifelong experience
and the liberal Endorsement administers and fam
lilies, as well as the public in general, He has
lately added several new features to his Caravan
including Girafies, an immense Rhinoceros, Sea
Lions, Labrador Seals giant Ostrich, the largest
performing elephant in America Asiatic and
African Lions, forty new cages and dens Of wild
beasts from every quarter of the globe, and also
added many new thoroughbred horses to the
Circus and engaged some of the best riders and
gymnasts of Europe and America The entire
show is so vast that pen description cannot do it
justice but we advise the public to go and see it
on Thursday August 18TH and the day will be
ever after remembered with pleasure, The grand
street parade, which is said to excel anything in
the United States, will take place on the morning
of the exhibition. Remember the day, August
18th, at Canton. One day only. They will also
show at Massillon August 18th, and at Alliance

THE Grand Duke Fritz Alexandrovina swope
for short was on another spasmotic jamboree last
Friday. He sailed about the streets like a jump
ing jack, uttering characteristic anxomatical as
sertions concerning the art of saving wood, until
the police captured him and placed him in the
lookup, whence he escaped during the night.
Within the past few years the various items Of
costs paid by the city on swopes account foot up
nearly two hundred dollars, the items averaging
about sS on each arrest. Such is the needless ex-
trayagance of the naturalized Grand Duke.

The trade in wool continues very quiet and
there is hardly enough doing to give foundation
to a report The country has sold a large share Of
lots of fine heeces on which prices are tending
slightly downward. The Shipping List is OF the
opinion that if fine woods go any lower there Is
room for speculation in that line, but no disposi
