The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-10-19

The Alliance RevieW last week, like the
drunken fellow in the row, went slush-
ing around, hitting risht and left, friend
and foe; and also assumed airs of Solo
monte wisdom worthy Of any false proph-
ct or the son of one. In his faufaronade
and egoism on the Crusade" and "intem-
perance," it is "ws' and "ps," and "our
SOU" and "every rulsation Of our heart"
and all that sort of stuff. o.
Now, who cares aboutthe Review mans
pretentious temperance and Crusade"
blowing? What did it ever amount to2
He is not fit in this regard to tie the shoe
strings of some women in his own town
some, teo, he did not speak of former
ly in terms of very respectful considera-
ton. Let our Alliance neighbor remem-
Der the story of the old frog that inflated
and busted
But the Review makes drive in this
way: 1--WE know of some Republicans
who are mean, miserly and selfish; who
know of no other use the people can be
put to than to ride them like pack-horses
or for a party; or newspaper, than to
make them the instruments for the pro-
motion of their personal advancement,
and to bring them to place and pelf
To all such we give notice, that if they
manage to foist themselves on the Re-
publican party, the Review, in its char
acter of an independent Republican pa
per, will do its level best to prevent the
gross injustice Of their election.
The public honors are only for public
spirited men. Men who, rich or poor,
contribute to as we'll as reap from the
community of interest and general pros
perity. This is the lesson taught by the
late election in the 18th District, and we
hope political aspirants Of all parties will
give good heed to it."
Who are these "mean Republcans2
Have any of them managed to foist
themselves on the party" before tLis2 It
is candid admission that there are
"mean Republicans" and, inferentially,
they do get Office. That is just what ,Ue
have been saying, and pointing to Wash
ington. 1t is proper for the Review to
claim due honor and regard from those
who seek to use the editor and others as
"pack-horses" "Pack-horses" may kick
up and throw the load, rider and ALL
Some of these fellows had better show
proper consideration
1t is evident that Major Mckinley is
not included in the "mean Republicans"
for the ReUie,O says:
Major VIM. Mckinley is elected to rep
resent the 18th District in Congress. We
congratulate the people on the result of
the long and hotly contested campaign,
and if the Review has to any extent con-
tributed to it, we are pIoud of the record,
and we believe the time will come when
even our Democratic friends will thank
us for our course. .,r ...
"Our Democratic friends will thank qY
for our course" Boshl These Solomon
ic airs again and vain conceits
Shall our Democratic friends thank w.
for Grant, Belknap, Babcock, Boss Shep-
herd & Co.? For all that is rotten and
corrupt in Government "Thank" you
for denouncing and vilffying the House
Of Congress for cutting down expendi-
lures thirty millionsP
And this oracle of the Reciew says COM
placently, 1--WE are proud of the record p'
Will Major Mckinley vote for Reform ?
Or, will he in Congress, do as his party
did during the late session, oppose all
investigation and cutting down of expen-
ditures? n! - Hs -
The fact is, we rather relish the SWELL
ing, rafting, important utterances Of the
Rerie,O, even if they are sickeningly full
Of the first Personal Pronoun and sir or
acle airs. Crusade" Joseph, 'Crusadep
