The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-07-01
THE TICKET.

Our State Convention not only filled
public expectation touching an enuncia-
ton of principles, but it also placed in
nomination an unexceptionable ticket.
OF the head of that ticket, Hon. William
Allen, we need say but little. From the
day that the grand old representative of
better days of the Republic was called
from bis retiraCy to take the helm of
State ne has steadily grown in popular
estimation The people recognize his
great purity of characteB his integrity,
his ability and his devotion to the inter
ests of the masses. His administration
of affairs has been marked by fairness,
Justice, craftsmanship and non-partisan-
ism. Ohio has not had such Governor
in years. The denomination of Cover
nor Allen has been determined from the
first week of his administration, and no
man ever received this compliment with
such unanimity-such enthusiasm upon
the part of the people. His election by
an overwhelming majority is an assured
fact
The nomination of Hon. Samuel f,
Cary for Lieutenat Governor was de-
served recognition of one of the most
sincere men and one Of the most able
advocates before the people in our party,
General Cary has for years devoted him.
selfto the interests of the producing and
| industrial classes. The financial problem
he has made his own. He is natural
orator. No man in Ohio is so effective
on the stump-no man is so earnestly
listened to by farmers and laboring men
who have been crippled by the ruinous
Republican policy of finance. Wherever
he has gone as a stumper, of late years,
he has made votes for the Democratic
party. 1t is a common thing for the enc
mics of General Cary to deride him and
| denounce him as a demagogue. This is
simply infamous. General Cary is an
earnest man and a sincere man, and is
devoted to principle. He has never con-
suited selfinterest. The fearlessness
with which he presents his views and
the persistency with which he clings to
them is a sufficient answer to the time
serving partisans who for lack of argu-
ment, resort to abuse. The attempt made
upon the eve of the Convention by a
confederation of spectators in this cOun-
try to blacken the character of General
Cary was properly treated by the Con-
vention. General Cary is prepared to
meet the issues in Court, and has no
fears ofhi ability to meetit satisfactory.
For Supreme Judge we have Thomas
O.. Ashburn, of Clermont. Judge Ash
burn has occupied seat upon the Com
mon Pleas bench of Clermont, Brown
and Adams counties, and in all that time
his probity has never been called in
question. He is a jurist Of marked abil-
ity and man of pure and unsullied
character.
Hon. E. M. Greene, the nominee for
Auditor of State, halls from Shelby coun-
ty. He is man of fine personal pres
ence and genial manners. He has served
several terms as Auditor Of Shelby coun-
ty, and by reason of business training
and experience is well qualified to dis
charge the duties of Auditor of State.
He represented Shelby in the popular
branch of the State Legislature in 1881,
and was a serviceable member Of the
Committee on Finance.
The nominee for Treasurer of State,
John Schreiner, is an honest German
from the county of Meigs, 1t is not often
that the southeastern corner of the State
is recognized in making up State tickets,
and the present recognition will not be
forgotten when the polls are opened up
there. Mr.. Schreiner is connected with
the manufacturing interests of Meigs
county, and,has held many Judiciary po-
sitions. Heis honest and capable.
The Convention didn't indorse the
doctrine laid down by Mr.. Baber, that
the Attorney General should be resident
of the State Capital, but it selected a
gentleman in that immediate vicinity.
Eugene B. Powell, the nominee, resides
in Delaware. He is a man of excellent
parts, cultivated and polished, with
good professional standing, and Of spot
less integrity. Mr.. Powell is forty years
of age, and native Of Delaware county,
Ohio. His father, Thomas Powell, one
Of the most, venerable lawyers in the
State, served with distinction in the Con-
stitutional Conventions of 1852 and 1873,
Mr.. Powell was elected q member of the
Legislature Of 1872, as an independent
from Delaware, and has done much to
redeem that county from the rule of Rad
icalism. He was Greeley Liberal, and,
like most of that class of independent
men, came over to the Democratic ranks,
feeling, as a true citizen, that it was use
less to hope for reformation of abuses
that have crept into the government from
the party in power. He is every way
qualified for the Office to which he as
pires, and will contribute no small share
to the forty thousand majority by which |
the ticket will be elected.
For member of the Board of Public
Works better man than II. E. OHagan,
of Erie, would be hard to find. AS the
name indicates, 0'Hagan is tinctured
with Milesian blood. He is fat, jolly, |
good natured gentleman, and everybody,
likes him. He lives in Sandusky, and is
in the fish business. Being something
of lake mariner, the canals and their
intricacies would soon be as raised letters
to the blind to him. We eare confident
that O'Hagan is one of the most popular
men in Northern Ohio. He will be any
thing but a heavy weight to the ticket,
AS we have said before, the ticket is
unexceptionable. 1t embraces all the
elements of strength, and, standing as it
does upon a platform made inthe inter.
est of the whole people, it can not fail of
election. We set the figure at forty thou
sand this morning, and we call upon the
party to work up to it.--Cncinndti1 In
