The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-01-28
EDITOR LOUIS SOFA EFER,

Still continues to blow his weekly bugle
blast from the Repository establishment
He set sail there during the Allen cam
paign in the fall of 1873. By means OF
his organ, through which he could use
hismighty powers, he was going to "chaw
up McGregor," defeat "Old Bill Allen"
Fessler, Baxter and the Democratic TEX
et and burst the Democratic party OF
this city and county unless We would, one
and all, 60 in solemn procession to TINS
lord of the opera, bow down before him,
beg his mighty pardon, and ask to sub
nit to his DEGREES, and to keep him in
Office! He had done so well in the City
Council in building the water works, and
as County Commissioner in building the
Court House! IfH..
With his usual trickery and treachery
he has succeeded in getting others to foot
the bills. When one fellow discovered
how he was sold and cleaned out by this
political prostitute, the cdtia soon found
another to take the place and be his
happy ass to carry and throw dirt, and
also take his abuse and kicks whenever
he thought fit to administer them
When one got tired Of bearing the bur
dens.alone he has been quite successful
in getting up an organization of them,
30 that the irksome loads and heavy ex-
actions were divided around, and if one
fellow chose to kick up or wriggle, the
lash of the driver, assisted by the others
were able to restore order.
We understand he does condescend to
give verbal explanation Of the gas tit'
ting bill, as to the scratching out OF the
figures giving the prices of the different
articles. We learn, he says he didn't do
it. But why not speak out in PRINT Let
us hear about it through the Repository
establishment Is he afraid2 Is it a disa-
greeable topic? Is it Banquo ghost
that tells horrid tale2 Does it involve
addition, division and silence?" Would
he say with Lady Macbeth, "Out, damned
spot?'
When Mr.. Schaefer first set sail from
the Repository establishment, he was in
great q, e!and struck out to sweep all be-
fore him. We warned him FRI IN time to
time to Ego slow"-that he IN ght run
against breakers. But he only became
more fierce and furious. Like Tam
0'Shanter-
Kings may BIZ blest but Louis, glorious,
Der everybody else-vIcToRIoUs
The Stark County DEMOCRAT and A
McGregor were his especial objects. He
event for them with a will. The query
he put to almost every one he came in
contact with was
"Ditn't l gif Mack hell by Kote"
Well, Mr. Schaefer did enjoy the thing
for year or so hugely. A few weeks
ago, however, We began talking abon'
water works and gas fittings, and We
soon observed these subjects had a sooth
ing effect. Whereas before, he was
"ferce as ten furies, terrible as hell, " he
was now tame as a sucking dove. We
could scarcely get him to say a word
He will not now vaunt his fame by
writing up his gr' at generosity and pub
lie spirit in going east and purchasing
gas fittings for the new Court House in
the fall of 1869, nor explain why it was
that on his return he turned in with the
Republican leaders and helped to defeat
that iall the Democratic ticket We
confess, we thought it very curious at the
time, but we had moi then seen the scratch
ed bH Of as gas frtaTeS
In conclusion We. would quote for Mr..
Schaefer's benefit the couplet uttered so
nobly BY Lochiel, and commend it to
him:
"And leaving In battle, no blot on his name,
Look proudly 10 heaven on the desthbed OF tame,
