SUGGESTIVE AND ADM0NIT0RK'
w. have read somewhere of false

We have read somewhere OF false
prophets and false lights, and also
warning to beware of such In pollu-
cal point Of view these may be OF value
at least worthy of consideration
We have known some OF our good
Democratic friends, ere now, bes'ow
their confidence upon an unworthy Cd
iect In fact, the remark may apply to
many ofu This thing drumming after
strange political gods, we have seen at
tended with danger to all concerned
Profession is one thing and practice Is
another. Talking or printing Democ'
racy occasionally, with ifs and prowsoes,
and not sustaining and voting Democracy
honestly, resembles too much the devli
quoting Scripture for his purpose. 1t Is
against this sort Of stuff that we warn our
friends, especially those who con'em-
plate being candidates for Democratic
nominations. Voting the Democra lc
ticket is one important test. This applies
with peculiar force to public journal,
or, to a man claiming to be leader IN
political affairs.
Occasionally we see political knaves'
or fools, who aim to occupy halfway
house between the two political parties
and trying to play the political penou'
lum in order to carry out their swindling
games. We have a pair Of such cubs in
our minds vision now, who harbor at
the Repository establishment and lend
there a willing hand, Treachery and
fraud is their only stock in trade, and we
warn our aspiring friends against their
black.mailing Vaccinations. We know
not whether this warning is now neces-
sary but we throw it out that some VINO
may not be fully posted may be warned
in time.
Should any of our friends prefer the
Re6oSito,y organs to announce their can
didacy, they are quite at liberty to do So
The object OF announcing is to let Demo
Gratis over the county understand that
they are candidates, and, as we say, II
any gentleman can reach the Democrats
of the county through the Repository or
gans tits quite unnecessary for them to
nav for publication in the STARK Co.
DEMOCRAT. We make this Suggestion
in all kindness, and hope our friends
will so take it. 1t is of little or no use to
advertise in newspaper that has no
circulaton-and it surely takes time Tor
a journal to get an established clrcula'
ton. 1t is not done in day, nor even
in a year, and it usually takes little
honest brains to get public journal
into A somewhat commanding position
In politics, as in religion, we cannot
serve God and mammon, No halfway
house is possible. Aman is on one side or
the other of the dividing line One either
sustains the present extravagant and cor
rupt Administration, or he does not
His influence goes in the one direction
or the other. The STARK COUNTY DEMO
GRAFT occupies no doubtful position, and
we may say, and tell the unvarnlshec
truth, that our paper has now a Larger
circulation than ever before. And thl!
we take pride in saying-thanks to th'
solid and appreciative people OF ouI
noble county and city. In announcing
or Advertising therefore, in our columns
our friends know what they are doing
or may know. Let one and all taxi
these hints kindly and consider we'll
If, then, any prefer to cherish and warn
into life the Repository organs, let then
be content herewith, and seek not to us
the columns of the STARK CoUNT
DEMOCRAT for making announcement
for Office. This is our straight forwar'
way of expressing it and dealing wit
this matter. A hint to the wise ought t
be sufficient, and it just amounts to this
that the Repository establishment and it
ring. cannot run the Democratic part
with our consent. If anythink that con
Germ and those schemers can do so. the
had better not trouble US. but go ther
entirely.
