"Humor not the injustice of revenge"
q. L...u.

THE Stark County DEMOCRAT stigma
tizes the charges against JEFF, Davis as
"stuff" and " twaddle" We believe that
the DEMOCRAT always did have warm
side for jeff. and no one is surprised that
it thinks he is innocent Of any crime
against the Recommendations Re-
Uie1D,
Not as swarm" as that "loyal" man
and leading Republicaa, Gen. B. F. But
Ter, who voted thirty-six times in the
Convention at Charleston in 1860 to make
JEFF. Davis the Democratic candidate for
President Nor, have we as "warm a
side" for ]. D. as Grant and the Republi-
can party leaders have for 1ongstreet,
Mosby, &C., &c. The fact is the "warln
side" business varies from time to time
in both shape and color. Consider, neigh
Dor Joseph, consider.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-02-03

THE Democratic party in the National
House of Representatives have formally
identified their cause with that of Jefter-
son Davis.-Cl Cleveland Herald.
The Democratic members of the House
did not contemplate Jefferson Davis
They desired complete amnesty, alluding
to no one, the only aim being in this
Centennial year to have fully restored
Union and commence new era of peace
and good will This was the object and the
sole object. Mr.. Blaine moved to except
jefferson Davis from the amnesty thus
throwing in the old apple Of discord, try
ing to revive the foolish venom and hate
of the war. 1t was Mr.. Blaine and Com
pany who are responsible for the intro
duction at this time of Jefferson Davis
and sectional hate. Really, is it not time
to cease this stirring up of hate and ami
mostly? DO "let us have peace" "The
wisest and most patriotic members of
both the great political parties have
urged the importance of reconciliation;
recognizing the fact that the war is over
and its bitter memories buried ) of look
ing toward the future with patriotic de-
sire and fraternal feeling, and not on the
past with sectional and malignant ha-
tred."
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-02-03

Harper'S Weekly says nothing SHOULD
cause any man to forget that the Demo-
cratic party is now what it has been for
many years-the political organization
of those who aimed to destroy the Ma
tional Union and Government for the
basest and most revolving of purposes,
and who still declare that their views,
except as to the practibility of secession,
remain unchanged.-RddicGI EGchdnge
These are the usual rawlings Of the
Grant crooked whisky organs. With this
and stirring up religious animosity they
hope to carry the Presidential election,
Notwithstanding their crimes of malfeas-
ance in Office and mal-administration in
all directions. We know of no country
in modern times so deplorably misgov-
erned and robbed as ours under Republi-
can rule. The Democratic party at least
gave the country honest and economical
Administration of public affairs. And
that is more than Harper'S Weekly or any
of that ilk can say with truth for their
party's rule.
ut may be many years before the
baneful influence of the last twelve years
of Radical rule will be entirely overcome.
We have a hope, however, that the old
teachings of Democratic sages and the
benefcent example they furnished in
sixty years of economical, honorable and
successful rule, may yet assert them
selves, and that the country will not for
ever be humiliated and made ashamed
by the constant recurrence of defalca-
tions, thieving legislation, and frauds of
all sorts upon the public revenue. We
trust the day will yet come when we
shall not daily be mortified with the ar
rest and conviction of some new public
agent, dear friend perhaps of the Presi-
dent, or some of his Cabinet, and prime
leader of the party in power"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-02-03

THE Stark County DEMOCRAT having
charged the editor Of the Ohio Democrat
with being formerly in favor of hard
money" the latter defines his position in
the following terse language:
Eyes, we voted for David Tod and
"hard money" in 1916; but what has that
got to do with the situation now? We
support the Ohio Democratic platform of
1875, because it appeals to reason and
common sense) until it is revoked. Does
Judge Thurman and our friend of the
Stark County DEMOCRAT do SO? And if
not, why not.
Our neighbor of the Democrat shoots
so near the centre that we would be
pleased to hear either Senator Thurman
or the Stark county man rise up and
explain" their reason for differing with
him-if they can.-Steubenvide Gazett.
differing Uith him." These gentlemen
seem very anxious to get up "difering"
in the party. We advise them to get
back to treason and common sense" and
stay there whether revoked" or not.
In fact common sense and reason" can
not be revoked, not even by the spirits
at New Philadelphia and Steubenvile.
The Democratic party Of the Union is
not revoking treason and common sense"
and the Constitution of the Uuited
States, even to please our excellent
friends of the Gazette and Ohio Democrat.
We kindly advise them to stop their
fooling and fall into line and aid us in
redeeming Ohio next fall and electing
Democratic President.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-02-03

RAsCALITY ran riot last week. To sly
nothing of small fry we may recount a
few prominent robberies and defalca-
tions. The "Rev." Winslow, of Boston,
only stole six hundred thousand dollars;
the New Brunswick cashier only "Con-
veyed" a hundred and forty thousand
dollars; the robbers at Northampton only
obtained six hundred and seventy thou.
sand dollars Such are specimens in the
calendar of crime; and the respecta-
bility of the criminals is startling fea-
ture. Winslow was a minister of the
gospel, formerly published religious
paper, and of late was manager of the
Boston Post He responded happily to
the toast, "Original Sin" at the annual
dinner of the Athenian Club in Boston
on New Years day. He added forgery
to his thieving and with his wife and
family went to Holland. Truly this is an
era of cupidity and crime. Mammon
crops out in our legislation and ill high
places dwell its votaries.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-02-03

McGREaoR, in pleading for his rebel
Democratic brethren of the South, and
for amnesty and peace, asks
"Shall we not have fair start in this
centennial year of grace"
How long is it since the Democrats
ceased to harp about the blue light Fed
eralists, the Hartford conventionists, the
Abolitionists, &c.2 They are regular old
Bourbons, who never forget, and never
learn anything. Now, the party that
contained all the traitors, all the men
that for four years tried to destroy the
Government and the Union, who were
guilty of all the atrocities of Libby and
Andersonville, is complaining because
the loyal people of the nation cannot,
and will not forget all these things in ten
years from the time they were COM
mitted.
No, sir the American people have
forgiven the rebels, and have taken them
back into the family, but they can never
forget the past. That has gone into the
history of the Republic. and cannot be
erased. 1t should stand forever as a
warning and rebuke to the enemies OF
our country. Cicero held up the treason
of Cataline to posterity. Why should
these modern traitors ask to be forgot
ten ?-BaScom's Repository.
Senator Sumner sends from the grave
this protest. Note the contrast:
"I am for peace in reality as in name.
From the bottom of my heart am for
peace; and / welcome all which makes
for peace. With deep felt satisfaction l
remember that no citizen who drew his
sword against us has suffered by the
hand of the executioner. In just asso-
citation with this humanity will be the
triumph of equal rights, when the prom
ises of the great declaration are fulfilled,
and our people are united as never be-
fore in the enduring fellowship of com
mon citizenship. To this end there must
be reconciliation. Nor can | withhold
my hand. freely accept the hand that
is offered, and reach forth my own in
friendly grasp. / am against the policy
of hate. | am against tanning ancient
flames into continued life. am against
raking in the ashes of the past for Goals
of fire yet burning Pile up the ashes,
extinguish the flames, abolish the hate,
is my DESIRE"
We could not improve on these noble
sentiments. We would merely ask neigh
Dor Bascom, if he recognizes the last
great Senator from Massachusetts as hav-
ing been "loyalP man2 Horace Gree
ley entertained and expressed similar
views. The Republican party seems not
to be blessed with such men these days,
to any great extent.

OF the bill which passed the House on
Wednesday of last week reducing post
age upon mail matter of the third-class
from one cent per ounce to one-half cent
per ounce, the weight of packages to be
limited as at present. to four pounds, a
correspondent says: "The third class en-
braces transient newspapers and periodi-
Gals as well as seeds and merchandise.
The Post Office Department favored the
reduction upon newspapers and similar
printed matter, but recommended that
the postage upon articles Of merchan-
disc be graduated according to the dis
tance which the packages were to be
carried. In other words, that for dis
tances within three hundred miles, one
cent postage for each ounce up to four
pounds and less than 800 miles one cent;
for 600 and less than 1000 miles, one
and half cent, and for all over 1900
miles, two cents per ounce. This, it is
held by the Department, would to some
extent save the Government from loss
in the cost of transportation of merchan-
disc in the mails, it being demonstrated
that in the past year over $4,OO0,OOO de-
ficitin the postal accounts was OCCASION
ed by the cost of transporting third-class
mail in excess of the revenues therefrom,
and that over 81 100000 will probably be
added to the cost by the bill which pass
ed to-day; therefore, a determined effort
will be made to amend the bill when it
comes before the Senate"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-02-03

THE Republican members of the House
at Columbus were in trouble last week.
They repealed the Geghan, religious lib
erty, law in hot haste. but the ghost has
been troubling them ever since. 1t seems
that in amending their Penitentiary bill
they got into family fight over the
late Geghan Law. 1t was offered by
Hitchcock of Geauga, and adopted, the
Democratic members assisting of course
The happy family was greatly disturbed
and an extra caucus was called, where,
after high time they determined to re-
peal the Hitchcock amendment. They
may not be through with the Geghan
ghost yet. Full liberty of conscience is
a sacred principle in our system.

one-legged soldier whom the Republi-

man might have an Office, has been cared

gentleman is Republican, the Demo-

Palmer entered upon duty as one of the
guards in the Penitentiary.

AN exchange thus hits the living issue;
"The question of questions before this
Congress is retrenchment and reform. 1t
comes home to every mans freside, and
applies with equal force to the great ope-
rations of the Government. All the
elections for two years past have greatly
turned upon that issue, and the Demo-
Gratis are largely indebted for their pres
ent majority to its advocacy. The Com
mittee on Appropriations will do we'll to
make haste slowly and to guard every
point as they go on. The country is with
Them

THE RETURN TO ECONOMY IN
PUBLIC AFFAIRS.


The Democratic members of the House
at Washington have difficult task be-
fore them in the work they have so zeal
ously engaged in, nam, ly to reform and
economize. In this good work the mem
bers have no cooperative help from the
Departments. Instead of aid every pos
sible obstacle is thrown in their way. In
the bill, for example, cutting down the
expenditures for West Point Academy,
the Republican members opposed, the
Professors opposed, and, in fact, the
whole power of the Administration, it
would seem was hostile to the reduction.
Saving has not been popular with the
party in power.
For fifteen years have misrule, ex-
travagance and corruption been holding
high carnival in every branch of the
General Government. The abuses have
become chronic aud the contest over ef-
fecting a change in the system and re-
turning to honest and economic prac-
tees, will be bitter and the work labori'
GUS and difficult.
The net expenditures for the last fiscal
year, exclusive of interest on the public
debt, are reported by the Secretary of
the Treasury to be $l7l, ,52S, ,84S.27. They
are comprised under the heads of war,
navy, Indians, pensions, and miscellane-
ous. To reduce the appropriations for
these various branches intelligently and
properly, it is necessary to examine in
detail the items of which each is made
up, and to search out the abuses. All must
see the labor involved-especially when
the Departments are hostile. In addi
ton to all this, each interest has its
friends and advocates at Washington,
and powerful combinations are made and
appeals made to members in every shape
to spare their particular interest. We
are glad to believe that the Democratic
majority of the House are resolved on
and that is why they are
taking time on these appropriation bills
We say inaugurate new system, wipe
out the old, corrupt and extravagant
practices, and relieve the people from
these enormous exactions. 1t is high
time. And, let it come.
