THREE WEEKS FROM NEXT TUES
DAY
Is election day in Ohio for the election
of members Of Congress, and State and |
county officers. Being the Presidential
year, it is of more than usual Importance,
as the result in Ohio and Indiana on the
second Tuesday of October next may in
luence the choice of President, and
hence the policy of the US. Government
for years to come. The question is,
SHALL cRANTIsM BE CONTINUED
Shall the great and important interests
of this countryside industries and well
fare of the American people continue
under the same wretched management?
Or shall a change be made and reform
be inaugurated to restore prosperity to
an oppressed people? These are the i'm
portant matters to be considered.
The two political parties present their
respective policies and deClaratiye utter
ances for popular consideration. The is
sues are of peaCe-not of war. Each vo-
ting citizen should judge for himself, and
act as becomes a freeman. The results
upon us are ample, surely, to enable any
one to come to safe conclusion. The
tree is known by its fruit, and should
be judged accordingly. We say, act as
becomes wise men and honest citizens.
THE RESPECTIVE TICKETS
for Congressional, State and county posi-
tions, are in the main composed of citl-
zens of fair personal repute. The voting,
then, should be from the standpoint of
principle. Those favoring the Republi-
can policy as demonstrated by results
should vote TO continue Grantism-those
favoring a return to honest government
and constitutional rule-who desire re-
form-thorougE and complete, should
vote the Democratic ticket throughout.
At all times be clear in conviction and
decided in action.
CHOOSE BETWEEN
For Congress the choice will fall upon
Major Mckinley or Doctor Lamborn; Mr..
Powell. the Greenback, and Mr., Silver,
the Prohibition candidate, being out of
the question. While we admit that Ma
ior Mckinley is fair representative man
of his party, we claim Doctor Lamborn
as at least his peer in all respects, and
his superior in some points important in
a member of Congress. Doctor Lamborn
would make capable and reliable man
to send to Congress.
The leading State position is Secretary
of State, for which Mr.. William Bell, Jr.,
the present accomplished Secretary, is
candidate for reelection. His opponent,
Mr.. Milton Barnes, is accused of being a
man of narrow views and bigoted percep-
tions. The other State officers on the
Democratic ticket are most worthy and
competent.
THE COUNTY TICKETS,
also, are to be considered For Common
Pleas Judge the choice must fall upon
S. Meyer or Anson Pease. Assuredly
no Democrat should hesitate as between
these two gentlemen. Both are lawyers
of experience, Colonel Meyer having
largely the advantage in this respect
We urge our friends, one and all, to vote
for Mr.. Meyer, confident he will make
learned and impartial Judge.
For Recorder, the candidates are P. L.
Manly, of Massillon, and Mr.. Wilcox,
for the past six years filling the Office
Mr.. Manly is worthy and industrious
citizen, entitled to every Democratic
vote, and we'll worthy the consideration
of all good citizens. We bespeak for
Mr.. Manly cordial support.
For Commissioner Mr. John Poorman
was nominated for reelection without
opposition, so fairly and we'll has he dis
charged the duties for the past three
years. The Republican nominee is Mr..
Hugh Brown, of Bethlehem township,
lifelong Republican, and of the kind
that will swallow whatever his party
leaders give him. Mr.. Poorman should
be reelected by an increased majority,
for he is eminently worthy.
For Surveyor, the Democratic candi.
date is John H. Holl, son of Reuben
Holl, Esq, of Jackson township, a wor-
thy young man, entitled to full consider
ton, and worthy of cordial Democratic
support. The Republican candidate is
Reuben q. Wise.
Andrew Shorb, of Canton, and Jacob
H. Bair, of Plain township, are the Dem
ocratic candidates for Inirmary Direc.
tors, md both fully entitled to a cordial
support. Their Republican opponents
are John B. Deweese and Joseph Barna-
by, devoted followers of the Morton
"bloody shirt"
Let our friends in Stark county see to
it that they improve the time from this
to the election, and that on that impor-
tant day they one and all RALLY TO
THE POLLS, AND VOTE A FULL
DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
