last Spring that they have been feeling
confident of their ability to fix and man
lpulate matters to run political affairs in
ehe county with the same measure Of Sue
cess. The monkey and Opera perform
ing part Of the Repository ring are to
shape Democratic matters in the county
as they did in the city. The principal
Operator was so successful some years
ago in running our City Council and
constructing water works, and as County
Commissioner in constructing the Court
House, especially the gas part thereof,
chat he has the conceit he can continue
70 run our politics, and in fact our
city and county affairs, especially with
ne help of such sage as brother Bas
com, and the influence Of the Repository.
Even Joe Gillespie, of the Alliance Re
1ieU, usually a man Of good sense, was
goose enough this time to join them in
urging the delegate plan. Poor Joe
Louschaefer, Bascom, Preyer & Co.
should comfort Joseph. We would sug-
gest sending him coat of many colors.
We always admit the Repository wor-
thes were quite successful last spring in
our city election and had much rejoicing
shereat Mr.. Preyer danced around the
Republican bonfire in the evening and
vas hoisted on their shoulders, and hur
rahed over and cheered vociferously by
7he Republican temperance crowd, They

not present to receive similar congratu-

In the Republican convention was
quite a conflict of opinion while in ours
all was harmony and good feeling among
she Democrats present. Excellent and
ludicious remarks were made by Judge
Raft, J. G Warwick, Anthony Howells,
w. A. Lynch and others. The leading
idea was to hold the party in power re-
sponsible for the present disastrous con-
dition of things in the country, and the
corrupt and extravagant rule prevailing
in the management Of our public affairs.
Let us avoid dead and useless questions
and attend only to living practical issues.
In this way, and this way only, can we
secure Democratic victory and hurl from
power the radical Grant dynasty.
The Democracy realize the importance
of little good common sense and ordi-
nary prudence and integrity in running
public affairs, even county matters No
political organization can afford long to
nurse and harbor cutpurses or cut-throats
and the Republican party of Stark coun-
