THE DEMOCRACY.
Ti1aen and Hendricks the Nominees.

The Democratic National Conven-
ton met at St. Louis, On Tuesday, to
nominate candidates for President
and Vice President. Ever since
Monday that city has been in contns-
ion and ferment on account of the
warning elements there let loose, as
in a bear garden, to tear and rend
each other. The rival clans of Til
den and anti-Tilden have kept up
a continual and noisy warfare. Nor
risey, prize fighter and gambler, has
been a conspicuous and entirely con-
gruous figure in the battle, and Tam
many, with its body guard of New
York roughs, was on hand in full
force. staggering, threatening, and
asserting Its old time influence in the
councils of the party. The contest
was fierce and vindictive, and while
it was yet raging with undated fury.
the Convention assembled. The first
day was consumed in organization
On Wednesday, the Committee on
Resolutions reported the platform
which is in the continuous form OF
an address, and is in manner and
matter dreary, stale, fiat and unprofit
able. 1t was adopted after fierce and
acrimonious opposition to some of 1T
features on the part of Dan Voor
hees, of Indiana, Ewing, of Ohio an6
others. On the final vote, four votes
of the Iowa delegation were recorded
against it.
Then came the nominations. Til
den, Hendricks, Hancock, Bayard
and Parker, were sevcrally placed il
nomination by their friends. Tilder
had been steadily gaining upon hi
competitors, and on the second ballo
he grasped the barren prize of the
Democratic nomination. This resul
is probably the best for the Demo
racy under the circumstances, bu
Tilden never can be President. Hi.
party by nominating him voluntarily
relinquishes Indiana and Ohio to thu
Republicans, and stakes all upon thu
issue in New York. 1t may prove ;
broken reed to them.
Since the above was written, intel
ligence comes that Thomas A. Hen
bricks, of Indiana, was nominated by
reclamation for Vice President. This
is political trick to catch Indiana
A ticket with a hard money head an(
the softest kind of soft money tail
aud all for effect, is the manner il
which the Democracy Of the country
set about illustrating their devotion
to principle. Is it not an edifyinG
spectacle?

Dean on Tildc,l.

Henry Clay Dean, the Great I'm
washed, attended the Democratic Ma
tional Convention at St. Louis, but
not as a delegate. He was inter-
viewed by reporter of the Globe
Democrat, and when asked if the
greenback mon would support Tilden,
he replied:
l answer, frankly, they would support
him under no circumstances. A capitalist
worth 100000, speculator in railroads
and railroad bonds, who shamelessly ex-
ponds money and uses the machinery of
political corruption to secure his nomina,
ton, in manner unprecedented even in
these corrupt times, is not the man needed
by the laborers, mechanics, Changers and
greenback men to work q reformation.

J. B. GEINNELL, who is nothing il

Hayes and Wheeler are good men
declines to return with his Liberal
brethren to the Republican party
He recently went with a delegation
to Chicago to see Judge Davis and
induce him to allow his name to be
used in the St LOUIS Convention. 1t
is not impossible that J. 3. may have
had a hankering in that direction him

SOME vinegary expressions are at
tributed to Gail Hamilton Miss Abb
gan Dodge, Mr.. Blaine's cousin,
when the result of the balloting at
Cincinnati was known in Washing
ton, which those familiar with her
writings will have no difficulty in
recognizing as characteristic of her
style. A correspondent says;
"Gail Hamilton" smarting somewhat
over Mr.. Blalne's defeat, said many pun
gent things about the various candidates
Before the Vice Presidential nomination
was made she suggested that an ex-Gover-
nor of New Hampshire be placed on the
ticket. She said she thought Hayes and
Straw would make a very popular ticket

TRUE BLUE.-In 1864 when Gen.
Hayes was with his command at the
front, IN Virginia, he was nominated
for Congress by the Republicans OF
the Second Ohio District. To a
I friend who importuned him to leave
Che army long enough to come home
and make the canvass of the district,
he sent this characteristic reply:
'IN CAMP,-~--
? "Yours of - is received. Thanks

time to electioneer for Congress ought TO

The farming community will be glad TO know
especially those Of the great West--that a very
great and important improvement in Harvesting
Machinery Is now being developed in this city
We refer to a riding and binding harvester that
is being made at the works Of Messrs, G. Russell Il
Co., (the enterprising manufactures of the Peer
less Reaper and Mower) for the inventor, Mr.. II.
f. Mann, Of Pittsburgh, Pa
All the harvesters OF this class heretofore made
are one Wheeled machines, and can be used as har-
vesters only, which makes II necessary for the
farmer, who has both grain and grass to cut. to
purchase both harvester and mower in two sep
arate machines. Mr.. Mann proposes to obyiate
this necessity BY combining some Of the charac.
eristic features Of the "riding and binding" har-
vester with the two wheeled hinged bar mower,
and to accomplish this very desirable combina.
ton he uses the same driving wheels gearing
and main gear frame Of the mower in the har-
vester so that when used as mower 1t will pos
sess all Of the characteristic and desirable features
Of the best two wheeled mower, and when used as
a Harvester, will possess great advantages ever
those now in use, for the reason that II has two
main driving Wheels will run lighter, and will
carry the binders much more steadily making II
much easier for them to do their work Of binding
while riding on the machine, We learn that Mr..
Mann has had much experience in this class Of
machinery, and from the fact that this is a very
desirable combination which Mr. Mann effects In
the most simple and practical way, the results Of
the trial Of this machine will be watched with
much interest both by the farmers and man0iaG-
turers.

A GOOD sHooTER,-A member of the Massllon
Militia Company was visiting in Canton the other
day, dressed in his uniform and wearing seven
by nine instrument at his side. This instrument
oflaying EN- out cold was almost too large to be
called horse pistol or navy revolver yet not
large enough to be called a howitzer or Colum-
bad, During the day he went to the northwest
suburbs of the town for stroll with friend, and
while there concluded to shoot mark, telling what
a bee.liner his old pop" was Finally he selected
a mark hundred feet in front of him, aimed and
pulled the trigger but the pistol was too much
for the young man. it gave spasmotic hitch to
one side and sent a big bullet over among lot Of
boys, about two hundred feet to the right Fortu-
nately none Of the boys were hit, as the bullet
probably had more respect for their physical con-
dtion than the shooter had, and sort Off zigzagged
around the youngsters They Immediately held
a hurried consultation, and then moved rapidly
offand laid down behind big hill half mile
away. His friend afterward thought of betting
him something that he couldn't hit house at 2I15
yards, but when he came to remember there were
several COWS pasturing about mile to the left, he
wiped out his inclination and refused to say any
thing about wager,

PRIZE FIGHT.-on last Monday evening two
boys, aged eleven or twelve years, with seconds
and friends, met in the alley back of Geiger's
drug store and engaged in a regular prize fight
In the first round one had his coat badly torn and
the round closed for repairs. Second round The
other little duffer had broad rim hat on and it
crawled down over his forehead so that his peep
ers were substantially closed. The other saw his
advantage and pummeled away at the hat RIM
the round ending in confusion, and one of the
seconds yelling: shoot off yer hat, Charlie then
yer kin gouge the stufin' out of him." The other
second responding: "shut up, you mully grub
this haint your lickin'." On the third round the
leading youngster came up smiling danced hoe
down, and struck out at eleven imaginary ele.
phants calling "time" all the while. The other
hoodlum, whose nose was shedding claret freely,
came up cautiously with a shade of death and six
hospital wards in his eye, AS he approached to
open up the round, the other side called foul
he's got dornick in his fist" The claim of foul
was allowed, and the fight closed A crowd of
admirers and hackers followed the victorious pu-
gilist away, while few faithful adherents of the
bunged up youth waltzed him to Geigers pump
and sponged his bleedingproboscis. As they stood
at the pump, comments and remarks were numer.
Gus on the result but the licked child settled them
all by remarking: II haint in trim; if I'd a
matched him five pounds lighter I'd busted his
snOot the first lick" A great many pretzels and
peanuts changed hand on the result.

FESTIVAL The ladies of this city will give a
raspberry festival forthe benefit of the G. A. Band,
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings of
this week, Alarge tent has been secured and will
be put up in the enclosure about the band stand
on the square, the tent, at one end, enclosing the
stand, where the band will play each evening,
The stones, weeds and other Objectionable things
have been removed from the enclosure and every
thing prepared finely for the occasion. We hope
this enterprise will be largely patronzed, as the
band needs assistance, which ought not to be said
of such an excellent organization in a town like
Canton. Few Of the larger cities can produce
bands to equal ours, and the people should Sus'
tain them. Remember the evenings, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, and go to the tent and en-
joy yourselves and help the G. A. Band.
