The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-08-19
OUR DEMOCRATIC TICKET,

worthy of the cordial support of every
good citizen.
For the Senate Mr. Haines has no OPP
position, and he is now the nominee by
acclamation in both counties composing
the district. He resides on his fine farm
in Carroll County, near Malvern, and is
well known as a good business man,
sound in judgement and promptin action.
Johnson Sherrick, Esq, was renomi-
mated by good vote for the Legislature,
He was a vigilant and useful member of
the last General Assembly, and com
manded the esteem of his fellow mem
hers. His colleague on the ticket is Il.
G. Williams, of Alliance. Mr.. W. has
been long in the drug business there, and
is gentleman of worth and eminently
entitled to the support of every Demo-
crat and Liberal of the county.
S. S. Geib, Esq, nominated for Probate
Judge, is well known as public spirited
citizen and farmer of Lake township,
His large legal and business experience
qualify him well for this responsible po-
sltion.
George Fessler, for County Treasurer.
was renominated without opposition, as
was right. Mr.. Fessler's excellent man.
agement of and attention to the duties of
the Office have gained him hosts of
friends, many in the Republican party.
His majority two years ago was some
l 200, and we hope to see it larger next
October. The good people ofStark county,
irrespective of party, have a high and
proper regard for George Fessler.
Robert s. Shields, ESQ.,, is slso well
known to the people of the county, hay
ing been Mayor of Canton for the four
years ending last spring. As a lawyer
Mr.. Shields. stands, well, and he is ever
the worthy citizen and whole souled gen
tleman. The two times he was elected
Mayor he triumphed by rousing ma
iorities.
James P. Sourbeck, of Alliance, has
been our candidate for Auditor before,
and we say in his case, "better luck next
time" 1t was no fault of his nor his per-
sonal popularity that he was not elected
before-for he ran largely ahead of his
ticket at home and where he was best
known. Mr.. Sourbeck is a most worthy
gentleman, and we know the friends over
the county wilsee to his case in October,
John P, Rauch, for Sheriff, is a new
man in the lists. He lives, and was
raised, in Paris township, toiling on the
farm, at which he yet takes hand.
About home, everybody, without refer
ence to politics, has good word for
John" He has served as township
clerk and township ASSESSOR and always
gave satisfaction. His goodly appear
ance bespeaks the man.
Lawrence Bechel, Of Canton, was nomi-
mated for Commissioner responsible
position. Mr.. Bechel is one of our most
worthy and substantial citizens. For
many years he has taken a full hand in
the blacksmith shop, land continues to
do so. He is a straight forward man OF
business and sound judgment. He has
served as Trustee of Canton township.
As Commissioner he will prove himself
worthy and qualified.
Henry Altekruse, of Massillon, was
honored with the nomination of Coroner
Of course it is pretty much all honor, and
we know of no man more worthy of the
honor than our excellent friend Mr.. AL
tekruse. Long may he wave, and with
all our candidates, may he sail in with a
rousing majority
For Infrmary Director, Doctor c. j.
Geiger, Of our city, was nominated. The
position is not one of profit, but one re-
quiring attention, integrity and good
Judgment and in these respects Doctor
Geiger will fill all requirements. Fol
fifty years or more the Doctor has been
citizen of Stark county, some twenty Of
these he has been engaged in the drug
business in Canton. As heretofore he
will be found worthy.
Let all good citizens Of Stark county
favorable to the cause of reform, and fa'
vorable for the overthrow of rings and
corruption and a return to the ways o.
economy and integrity in public affairs
let all such, we say, give our ticket q
cordial and earnest support.
