The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-09-21

We understand a Republican or two
at meeting at Youngstown Hill, Thurs
day evening of last week, questioned Mr..
Sherrick concerning A. McGregor's war
record, when Mr.. S. replied satisfactorily,
and in such way as to bring out cheers
from the crowd. Mr.. Sherrick referred
to the fact that mobs and outrages were
the first salutations extended, and before
McGregor's views could be known. iii
is any satisfaction to any inquiring indi-
vidual, we will say that A. McGregor was
always a Constitutional Union man, as
he is now-not bayOnet Union man. He
always abhored tyranny, fraud and cor
ruption, and hence never believed in
Royalty, nor aristocracy, nor monopoly,
but believed, as now, in government of
Justice and Equality-just laws and all
equal before the law. He never believ.
ed in the old Tory doctrine, that pub
lie debt is public blessing-never be-
lieved in doing evil that good may come
rather agrees with Doctor Franklin,
that there never was good war nor
bad peace. His views are totally at var
lance with the party in power, as he be.
lieves in the Constitution of the United
States, the aim of which is "to form
more perfect Union, establish Justice"
&c, and secure civil and religious iber-
ty. We do think that bad men are not
the persons to rule happily a great peo-
pie, and hence we favor a change and re-
form.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-09-21

THE big and little Republican stumpers
seem to be wholly engaged in the war
business again. In this county very few
of these rampant and vociferous orators
were really out in active service. Itmay
be that more than one of these valiant
heroes now Haunting the bloody shirt,
bears the formidable title of Captain,
Major, or something else, but as one Of
"the boys" who did see service, said the
other day, speaking of one of the blood
and thunder gas bags-"mighty little real
service did-see; he didn't stay long
enough to get into danger, and as forthat
mamie managed to stay longer but got
a berth generally that kept him in the
rear and out of harms way. 1t is anus
ing to hear these fellows blow like por-
poises nowp The fact is; take the coun-
try over, majority of the surviving
Union soldiers who saw service are to-
day for Tilden, Hendricks and reform.

Ex-JUDGE j. S Black, one of the ablest
and most profound men of the country,
has replied to Rev. Gen. Garfield, and
the reply will be found in this paper
Let every one read it, and file for reading
again and again. Judge Black arrays the
facts of his ory, and effectually demolish-
es the Reverend General. These rever-
end politicians are usually frauds. Their
assumptions, and airs of effrontery and
impudence become manifest when they
encounter such ripe, scholarly gentlemen
as Judge Black. With a docile flock
these worthless may assume, with a long
and humble face, great wisdom and airs
of command; but once out in the world
they soon find this unction don't suffice.

10 MAJOR Mckinley.

SIR-In an Grafton delivered by you
less than year ago, not hundred miles
from Canton, you gave expression to SEN
timents which were truly patriotic, and
which called forth the warmest praise
from hearers who were not with you po-
litically.
The fact that you are candidate for
Congressional honors necessarily makes
you an object of public scrutiny, and if
honest listeners find themselves at loss
to reconcile your different public efforts,
on the theory that you are honest and
earnest in all you say you have no rea-
son for complaintif you are openly called
upon to assist them with an explanation.
In the speech referred to above you
said: "The freeman aCho cannot forget old
animo8ities is not one Of Gods treemen." =
And again, in another part of your ad-
dress; "Iudivid,tal, official, political hop
esty IS the lCant of the age" -
Your campaign speeches, so far as the
writer has been able to learn by inquiry
from persons who heard you, have been
nothing more than narrow, outrageous
TRADES against the South, unworthy of
yourself, and utterly at variance with
the words quoted above, l hope you
will not think it unkind of me thus to
call your attention to this matter. Your
speech was an able one, and am sorry
to find, in the light of your more recent
efforts, that it meantso little. presume
you need the advantage of the adage
that circumstances alter cases." Then
you responded to an invitation to deliver
a patriotic grafton; now you are right
Loyalty assisting O. P. Morton to run the
outrage mill. 1t is perfectly allowable
that speaker be partisan when address,
ing meeting of his own party at time
like the present, and in good taste to be
bipartisan when addressing the people
upon the occasion of our nations Cen
tennial year. But, is it altogether hon
est-is it individual" or political hon
esty," to tell the same people on one oc-
Casion that old anin'osities between the
North and South must be forgotten; that
the man who cherishes them, to oster
and continue sectional hatred is not one
OF Gods freemcn," and on the next occa-
sion to arouse their btterest hatreu
against the South, by recounting the hor-
rors of the civil war? If you are zone Of
Gods freemen," please stick to your text,
and stop turning the mill-crank for Nor
ton; stop stirring up sectional hatred, or
stand convicted Of being a demagogue of
the worst type.
Ifyou are worthy Of the position you
are aspiring to fill, the people ought to
know more about your probable course
in the House in case of your election than
that yor would oppose paying the South
for the rails that were burned during the
war. Would it not be well for you to
confne yourself in your speeches around
the district to arguments on the real is
sues of the day, and let Morton and Bro,
Baldwin run the Southern business, if
only for the sake of consistency on your
partP

The Mt. Vernon Banner says: at
is significant fact that nearly all the
great manufactures of our State-those
who employ large numbers of hands
are for Tilden, Hendricks and Reform.
Prominent among the number we may
mention Henry Blandy, of GAINESVILLE /;
J. R. Buchtel of Akron; M. D. Harter,
ofMansfeld, &C., These gentlemen were
formerly Republicans, but they have felt
the deadening influence of Radical rule,
and desire change"
