The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-09-16

THEyoung radical sprigs who are stump
ing the county for the Grant cause, that
looks pretty near ike 'lost cause" are
greatly troubled for something to say.
They are afraid to advocate hard money
or denounce the "rag baby" and we hear
of some who even belabor the dead, but
honest, Buchanan. Under Buchanan
were no Indian rings, no Credit Mobilier
swindles, &C., all of which they do not
mention.
We hear Of some of them who dawdle
two mortal hours on Bill Geghan, the
Catholics and the Public Schools, and say
not word about the deplorable financial
condition of the country.
We would tender our friends, Henry
Ward Beecher's advice to a young and
empty preacher who asked for something
wholesome-"pump yourself chuck full
of your subject, then open the bung and
let it rum"
By all means avoid vain repetitions"
and noisy emptiness. After working hard
all day, neople do not want to sit or stand
three or four hours, listen carefully and
hear or learn nothing of value or of inter-
est. If you have anything to say in de-
fence or in vindication of your party and
its Grant policy, let us have it; out with
it, or hold your peace.
We beg of the Republican speakers,
old and young, to explain the policy OF
their party, the increase in expenditures,
the frauds in every Department of the
Government, the rings that possibly
reach the White House and other high
places, the resumption Act of their late
Congress, q law that provides for selling
bonds at ) per cent to borrow money to
buy specie with which to resume. Tell
us all about these things, your past party
policy and the present stagnation in bust
ness. Remember, you cannot escape the
issue, the real issue.
The real question is-Shall the radical
Grant party continue in power, to rule,
plunder, ring and ruin the country?
We would suggest to the Democratic
speakers to put the question as above in
some shape, fully and squarely.

can party is the only party That be-
lieves in a sound currency, and there
fore the only one with which it is safe
to trust the affairs of the country. On
these three points advanced, the anti
Catholic, the advocacy Of the rights
of the oppressed in Cuba, and the
championship of sound currency,
the President hopes to reach a posi-
tion of popularity that will cause the
people to forget the many sins of the
administration which have been
charged up against him during the
years of his reign. Standing upon the
platform given above he is certainly
the strongest man in his party. The
talk of II third term was never strong
er than it is now, among men whose
position make their opinions worthy
of attention. The annual message
which is now in preparation, under
the advice and assistance of Senator
Morton, is being shaped upon the
idea that Grant is the only man who
can save the party and consequently
the country.

Galveston, Nov. 9.-From all the
information possible to obtain up to
the present hour, 10 p. M, it seems that
the Waco was lying with her head to
the gale, and the fire, which first ap-
peared on the forward deck, had
caught in the large quantity of oil,
and swept over the vessel, burning
everything before it. Fifteen vessels
were lying close to one another, thir-
teen of which We're leeward of the
Waco. The supposition is that if any
passengers or crew had appeared aft
on the vessels deck, or any boats had
been launched, they would have been
seen by some of tue other vessels, none
of which can con firm the first rumors
of seeing the boats pass through the
fleet. The impression is now ginning
ground that not II soul, which was on
board the ill-fatcd vessel, is alive.

Chicago, Nov. "a Boston special
says that the steamer City of Waco,
from New York, for, Galveston, was
burned outside Gaveston bar, this
morning OF the Sth. The officers, pas
seugers and crew took to the boats,
and were last seen bearing a westerly
direction. A tug has been sent out
after them.
A Washington special says it is now
certain that three topics at least will
be largely dwelt upon by the Presi-
dent in his coming message to Con-
gress. These three topics will en-
brace the public school question, the
finances and the condition of affairs
in Cuba. Senator Morton, who has
been in the city for the last week or
so, is responsible, in large degree,
for the Presidents assuming a posi-
upon the school question in the COM
ing message. He has been persuading
the President that he must assume the
position of Gladstone, in England,
and Bismarck, i'll Germany. and
come out against the growing de-
mands of Catholicism. There is but
one thing to be said about the Presf-
dents Cuban policy, and this can be
said by the highest authority; he will
not talk of war or the possibility of
war, in his message, but will urge
stro ngly the justice of recognizing the
rights of the belligerent Cubans. He
has made up his mind that he will
carry his point in this regard with the
aid of Congress, if he can. and if not,
without its aid in the absence cf Con-
gress. The Constitution gives him
power TO act, but he proposes to give
Congress one more opportunity TO
take the responsibility upon its shoul-
ders. Upon the financial subjec. the
President will endeavor to show by
the recent elections that the RepubIi-

on the sixth day after the Rich went
ashore, he observed poles standing out
from the rocks on key two miles
away, and with some of the sailors
rowed to the spot, and discovered the
hull of an iron vessel, nearly sub
merged. Near their landing place, in
Il rough, circular structure, built of
stones, they found two uDrecognizable,
decomposed bodies of seamen. In
another hut a third body was found,
and on the opposite side of the princi-
pal hut, was found third shelter, in
which was still another body in re-

wall. There was no food found, and
it was evident that the men had died
from starvation.

EX-SENATOR HENDERSON who has
been assisting the U. S. District Attor-
ney at st. Louis, in the trials Of the
conspirators to defraud the revenue, in
his speech in the Avery case, made
some very unjust reflections upon the
President. The passages referred to
represent the President as interfering
to prevent the then Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, Douglass, from per-
forming his duty in regard to the wbis-
ky frauds. Upon being satisfied that
this unprofessional attack had been
made by one of the counsel for the
United States, Attorney General Pier
pont directed Dyer, the U. S. Attorney
at st. Louis, to dispense with the ser.
vices of Henderson, and to retain in
his place the ablest counsel that ht
could find, without regard to politics
An eminent Democratic lawyer of St
Louis, named Glover, was rendered the
appointment, but declined saying thai
conflicting professional engagements
prevented him from accepting.
1t is understood that the President is
ardent in his demand for counsel who
should be absolutely in the dischars {
of the duties attending his office, and
would not be satisfied with anything
short of the most vigorous and impair
tial prosecution of the work entrusted
by the government to his hands.
We suggest that this is the same

ator from Missouri, and voted agains,
