The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-02-17
WILL THE EMO EXPLAIN

The Wayne County Democrat has dis
covered significant fact, to-wit: That
in ten counties in Ohio, where there are
as many newspapers friendly to Senator
Thurman, the Democrats in 1876 made
an aggregate gain on their maiorities in
1874 of 2,403 votes. Surely philosophy
should be deduced from this interesting
fact. Will the Democrat kindly inform
US whether this gain is attributable to
the platform Of the Ohio Democracy or
to Senator Thurman's opposition to it q?
Those are the only foundations for per-
tinent argument on the Democrats fact.
If the gain was because of the platform,
it is a good platform to essentially re-
adopt. If it was because of Mr.. Thur
mans antagonism to it, give us similar
platform this year, and Thurman's oppo-
sition may give us gains in some more
countless Cincinnati Enquirer.
Why did you not state the fact that in
the three counties in Ohio, where there
are as many newspapers" unfriendly Ito
Senator Thurman" the Republicans "in
1875 made n aggregate gain on their ma
jorities in 1874 of 6,405-S56 more than
Gov. Hayes's majority-and deduce the
philosophy" therefrom? Will the En-
qiirer kindly inform us whether this"
loss rs attributable to the platform of the
Ohio Democracy, or to Senator Thur
mans opposition toit?" Ifthe loss was
because of the platform, then the plat
form, adopting the idea of the Enquirer,
was bad one, and should not be re-
adopted.
In December, 1872, the Enquirer told
us:
"We can't but think if in Wayne and
other counties the same energy had been

BAD BOY BABCOCK.
THE PRESIDENTS PET IN A PREI!
TY PREDICAMENT.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-In the trial OF Gen
eral Babcock to-day the first witness put
upon the stand was William ] Bassett,
Gauger, in the ring.
Bassett was followed on the stand by
Abijah M. Everest. of Missouri, who tes-
tilted that he became the collector for the
ring in August, 1874, and continued to
act as such until the seizures in May,
1875. The collections during that time
ran as follows, each week; UlriCis dis
tillery, 81 900 to 200; Bigham's $500 to
81 500; Jouett's $500 to $l,l00; Cheale-
tau's, $500 to $1,l0O; Bevis & Frazer's,
81 900 to $1,000. oo-
Coming down to the spring of 1865,
either late in February or early in March,
Everest said Joyce once sent him to the
Sub-treasury with package Of 81 900 in
small bills to get two $500 bills. He
brought them back, and Joyce put them
in envelopes and told him to take them
across the street and put them in the let
ter-box. Witness said he did so, and was
asked if he observed the directions on
the letters. BEFORE ne COulu dnsWeI Vic
defense interposed an objection, claim
ing that the prosecution were now trying
to show that Babcock's name was on one
of the letters, and that the evidence was
not competent. A long argument ensued.
Everest was then recalled to the stand. He
testified: Colonel Joyce handed me two
envelopes, and directed me to put them
in the letter-box, which / did; Joyce was
watching me from the window of his of
fee; l was fearing him; could see him
watching me; saw the directions on the
envelopes; one was directed to W. 0. Av-
cry, Washington, D. c., and the other to
General 0. Z. Babcock, Washington, D.
c.; each Of them had Personal on the
left-hand corner; they were ordinary en-
velopes, and had no printed matter on
them, or other directions, except what /
have stated; they had postage stamps on
them; l did not see Joyce any more that
day; / left the city June 10, 1875, and
went to New York city, and from there
to Liverpool; 1 left Liverpool last Christ
mas, and arrived in New York on the 9TH
of January; Inever saw General Babcock
before the trial began.

AGAINST REsUMPTIoN.--It is announced
by telegraph that five hundred mer-
chants, manufacturers and citizens of
Toledo have signed petition to Con-
gress in favor of the repeal of the Re-
sumption act. Had they last fall (says
the Wayne Co. Democrat worked and
voted for the Democratic State ticket in
stead of for the Republican State ticket,
they would not now be under the neces-
sity of putting themselves into suppli-
eating attitude before Congress. A sweep

would have carried a bill through Con-

NEARING THE SHORE,

An old nan sits In worn arm chair'
White as snow is his thin, soft hair,
Furrowed his cheeks by time and care
And back and forth 1t sways;
There's a far-away form in his dim, dim eye,
Which tells Of thoughts of the long gone-by,
Por he sits once more meath cl0udless sky
And in childhood merrily plays
He rests his cheek on the head Of bis cane,
And happily smiling dreams over again
OF that home the brook, the meadow the lane
Dreams all with a vision clear
Then childhood Yields unto manhood's place
And he looks once more in his bright, bright iace'
And down in the starry eyes he can trace
A love remembered and dear
Then he wakes and slghs ut seems but dream
That comes to me now like golden CLEAN,
Or the shimmering glow of the suns last beam,
But It's pleasant to think 1t o'eri
That youth was so sweet, and now Is past
Those days Of love were too precious to last
But over yonder their pleasures are cast,
And am nearing that shore"
He is gliding on in his little boat;
Der the calm still water they peacefully float,
But echo full oft brings a well-known note
From the land he has left behind.
But time will roll back for him no more,
And he gazes away to that other shore,
And knows when the voyage of life shall be DER
That his dream beyond he will find
The seeds of youth which in youth we sow
Adown through the isles of the future will grow
And shed on age beautiful glow
As they come in memory's CLEANS.
Loved faces will come to dimming sight,
Sweet words will echo in day dreams bright
And circle old age with their halos of light
As they mingle in beautiful dreams
