THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

should not forget the fact that the gentle
men nominated by the Democracy for
county and Legislative positions are not
of the Dolly Warden stripe but men Of
character and good standing.
AS to qualification for their respective
positions, no one who knows will call it
in question.
A. r. HAINES, our candidate for the
Senate, to succeed Mr.. L. Ferrall, who
declined nomination, resides on his
beautiful farm near Malvern, in Carroll
county. Mr.. Haines has lived there the
most of his life, now approaching fifty
years of age, and is well known as a
man of energy and good business quail
hcations. He will make safe man in
the Senate ofthe State-one who will be
ever ready to vote for the best interests
of the people.
Our two candidates for the House are
JOHNSON SHERRIcK, a faithful, honest, at
tentive member of the last General AS.
sembly, and R. G, WILLIAMS Of Alliance,
druggist in that town. Mr.. Williams
though not as we'll known as Mr.. Sher-
rick, we assure our friends will make a
worthy colleague. He is a gentleman
Of character and good intelligence and
will be attentive in the discharge OF hon
est duty.
JAMES P. SoURBEcK, for county Audi
tor, is "a capable selection for that res
ponsible position. The duties are vari-
GUS and heavy, but as expert gentle
man as Mr.. Sourbeck will be fully equal
to the requirements, faithful and atten-
tive in every part. We bespeak for
'JIM' rousing majority.
SAMUEL S. GEIB, ESQ, as Probate
Judge, will make an acceptable and
worthy man in that office. He will la
Dor assiduously and earnestly to attend
promptly to all duties pertaining to that
important office. Esquire Geib is well
known over the county. For years he
has been active in promoting agricultu-
raj improvement and has had more or
less active participation in keeping eff
cient the Stark County Agricultural So
ciety.
JOHN P. RAUCH, for Sheriff, belongs in
Paris township, some II miles east
of Canton, as Mr.. Geib does about IL
miles north in old Democratic Lake.
Rauch is also worthy specimen of Stark
county manhood--will fill in the future
as he has in the past all positions that he
may aspire to with honest credit and fair
reputation He will make popular and
excellent Sheriff.
GEORGE FEsSLER, our present popular
County Treasurer, needs no mention.
He is so well known-so worthily known
so acceptable as an official, and ever the
same whole hearted man, that all we can
say of George meets with cordial res
ponse from everybody Of both parties.
All know him ndappreciate him. In Ia
county like Stark too, and in such an
Office as the Treasurer it is important
to have man familiar with English and
German, To tax payers tits a great
convenience. The most Of our candi-
dates are qualified in the same way.
Mr.. Fessler had over 1900 majority two
years ago, and we expect to see it increas-
ed this year,
R. S. SHIELDS, our popular candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney, will make an
and faithful public officer. As
Mayor of Canton during the past four
years, he is well known to our citizens,
To that position he was twice elected by
large maIorities as we have no doubt he
will be to the Prosecutorship, 1t is res,
ponsible position and has much to do in
and maintaining the good or.
der of society. The office makes the in
one of the guardians of public
peace, the one whose duty it is to pur-
sue offenders to the extent of the law,
We bespeak for Mr.. Shields a rousing
LAWRENCE BECHEL, the hard work
ing blacksmith, corner Of Plum and Fifth
streets, Canton, has served the public
and his friends for many years as a
faithful son of Vulcan, who it is said was
the first worker in iron on this earth. As
County Commissioner he will prove
watchful and faithful guardian Of the
peoples interests.
Doctor C. J. GEiGER our candidate
for ln6rmary Director, swell known all
over the county. For over fifty years he
has lived in the county and in every
capacity he has done his duty faithfully
and satisfactorily. He will do so again
as Director of the Inhrmary, an impor-
tant institution of the county.
Let our friends, Democrats and Liber-
ais, see to it that our whole ticket receives
a full and hearty support. The gentle
men nominated are all worthy citizens
and well qualified for their respective
positions. Let them be endorsed EN-
phatically at the Polls in October, and
