may have been upon this historic princi-
pie that our neighbor of the Democrat,
father and son, were made delegates from
the rather obscure county of Carroll, at
the Cincinnati Convention. We hope
Bros. McGregor do not contemplate a re-
moval thence, as the rather perplexing
status of the financial situation in the
Democratic party just at present will fur
nish a field oflabor in Stark county that
will require all the prudence and sagacity
Of the metallic apostle of the Democrat to
work up.-RepOSitOry

noying thing was to see the gallant De-
mocracy of Stark so outrageously mis-

by eleven of the delegates and tramped

and so was Mahoning solid The St.

SOME three years ago Congress repeal.
ed that part of the old specie act of 1889
making silver, as we'll as gold, legal
tender in payment of debt. The matter
is now attracting much attention, and the
question is, was silver thus demonetized
because of its depreciation, SO that the
holders of U. S. bonds could demand
payment in gold under the act of 1869
which made the bonds all payable in
specie. Silver is much deprecated now,
and holders of bonds would doubtless
rather have gold.

The good looking, handsome young
man who edits the Ohio Patriot, should
look less in the glass and more at build
ing up the Democracy of Columbiana
county. Stark used to be worse Repub-
lican county than old Columbiana, and
prior to the Know Nothing and Repub-
liCan era, 1854, that turned things topsy
turvy, Columbiana was stronger Demo
cratic county than Stark. Let our
youthful friend consider-look less in the
mirror, and pay more heed to building
up Democracy.
