The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-05-11
THE ALLIANCE REVIEW TO THE
.. REPOSITORY.

OUR friend of the Reb0Sif0ty, we are
glad to see, has at last found "Repub-
licap" paper in the East End worthy
of his confidence and commentator.
Up to this time, he informs us, the ALI
ance papers have been inclined to the
wrong side" ofthe financial question, but
now the MOnft0r, under the new control,
will stand firmly on the Republican
platform, in favor ofspecie resumption.
We are not posted as to the source of
Mr., Bascom's information, the MJnftor
itself being silent on the question of its
future political complexion, but if that
paper is to be Republican in the next
campaign, as is not improbable, we give
it cheerful welcome to the franks of
the faithful" and free absolution, for all
past sins, committed in the interests
of Democracy and Prohibition.
But on what authority does Mr., Bas-
com say that specie resumption is to be
"the leading issue in the campaign before
u.s." We have the utmost respect for
our neighbor' swisdomI and foresight, and
it is possible that he kHO7VS just what the
future will develope as to the status of
parties and the will Of the people. From
our standpoint it would seem that if
specie resumption, under the present law,
or in the immediate future, is to be the
tissue ofthe next campaign" it will re
quire wiser man than our venerable
neighbor to tell vino will be who, or
which, which Of one thing we feel as
sured, the Republicans ofthe East End"
are not resumptionists in the Sense that
Mr.. B. understands and advocates re-
sumption.
Our information from the West end of
the county is, that they are almost un.
animously of the opinion that the law
providing for specie payment in 1879
should be promptly and Internationally
repealed, and as au indication ofthe sem
timent ofthe party in the county seat,
where the RebOHt0rn aided by the Stark
County Democrat has Illuminated its
hard money doctrines, for the last three
years, without let or hinderance, we have
been solicited over and over again, and
most persistently too, by leading Repub-
lcans of Canton, to move our office to
that city in order to save the party from
the decentralization and disintegration,
which threatened its utter overthrow aud
destruction, as the result of the teachings
OF the Canton press on this very subject
of specie resumption.
Our neighbor has arrived atthat time
OF life when ease and comfort are desr-
able and "the grasshopper is burthen
to him. He does not, therefore, h0b
around very actively, and much is tran
spring outside of his sanctum that es.
capes his notice, and he may, therefore,
not be disposed to give full credit to our
statement; but we make it, nevertheless,
for his information, that the opinion is
quite prevalent that McGregor and Bas-
com are so much alike in their matured
beauty, of person, and loving concord of
sentiment on the great ISSUE" that the
people
Gould be happy with either.
II the other dear charmer was gone"
We have no disposition to meddle With |
the affairs of our Canton neighbors, but |
gratitude to them for several kindly init
nations and insinuations, compels us to
say word for their enlightenment as to
their real state and condition, and five
can in any way, wake them up to reali-
zation ofthe situation, we know they will
be grateful to us beyond measure, for
the service rendered them. MAY they
live long and prosper. ."--AMance Re
