The Repository last week bestows full
some praise on its candidate for Con-
gress, and calls Doctor Lamborn "a rem
egade." Renegade" from what? Doc
tor Lamborn, as our neighbor says, was
in early life an abolitionist-as such he
was member of the Republican party,
but as a member of that party he was
not committed to wrong, corruption,
thievery, fraud and all sorts of mal-ad-
ministration. When the Doctor saw the
radical party entering upon career of
iniquity he abandoned it, He preferred
right and justice to party, With him love
of country was greater than love of party.
That man is the true and good American
citizen who dares to DO RIGHT.
The Repository says that the public rec
ords show uncancelled mortgages not re-
turned for taxation by Doctor LambOrn.
The Repository folks ought to know that
these very mortgages may still be can
called, or at least not be now in the
| Doctors possession so as to be subject to
taxation,
The old satanic spirit Of Know Moth
ingism will crop out in the columns OF
the Repository. With this venomous Con-
dition of mind it assaults Col, s. Meyer,
our candidate for Common Pleas Judge.
1t is compelled to admit that Col. Meyer
is "learned in the law" and it does not
dare to say that Mr.. Meyer will not,
| when elected, decide cases according to
the law and the testimony.
The Repository extols Anson Pease, the
radical candidate for Judge against Col
Meyer, and says Mr.. Pease "is free from
the trammels Of whisky rings, &C." Well
that is more than can truthfully be said
of some other radical leaders we could
name-leaders who have made millions
tout of whisky; leaders, too, high In po-
sition. And it hath been claimed that
even President Grant, Secretary Zack
Chandler and others, are capital judges
of whisky, having large experience in
that line. So, Mr.. Pease is NOT in the
"whisky ring" according to the RepoSi
torn, and because Pease is rot in the
whisky ring, therefore he is fit for Com
mon Pleas JudgaI Well, as the law
hath it, Blackstone, Coke on Lyttleton
&C., this is a non ssqlitur. Besides, there
are other rings than whisky rings.
| Col. Meyer as lawyer was ever faith
ful to his client, laboring earnestly, eff
ciently and lesrnedly, and always doing
his duty. As Judge he will exhibit the
same regard to his oath Of offiCe-hold
ing carefully, in even scale, the balance
of magisterial Justice.
But the Repository is working hard fol
third term Wilcox, and in speaking o
P. L. Manly, shows its Hindoo fangs. AL
we need say is, that Mr.. Manly wa'
raised in Stark county, Jackson town
ship; brought up to hard work atten
ded the public schools and got fair ed
ucation, SO that he is qualified for the po
sition of Recorder. Mr.. Manly will max,
competent and accommodating official
and wont build a ten thousand dolla
mansion and ask for third term.
John Poorman is one of our solid far
mers Of Tuscarawas township-has serv
ed as County Commissioner for thret
years-has faithfully attended to tn,
public business, and is a most worth!
citizen, blessed with solid qualities o
head and heart, and always exercise
good judgment in his own and in publ
affairs. He has made one Of the bes
county commissioners Stark county eve
had, the Repository to the contrary not
withstanding.
Andrew Shorb, of Canton, and Jacol
H. Bair, of Plain, are worthy and goo'
citizens for Infrmary Directors, despit
the base ana false charges of the Reposi
tory. Individual exposition as to per
sonal conduct we prefer to avoid.
Mr.. John H. Holl, of Jackson town
ship, is a young man worthy of beinl
elected county Surveyor. We bespeal
for John cordial and hearty support.
The Repository last week made itsel
quite free with the private characters o
the Democratic candidates for county of
fees. In the DEMOCRAT we have care
fully avoided getting down to privat
personal reference and detraction il
speaking of the radical candidates. Tht
personality of the Democratic candidates
as to qualifications, character and mora
worth, will.compare favorably with thei
! opponents. They are human, as are thei
opponents, and also American citizens
and entitled to full consideration unde
the Constitution; while not claiming
perfection, they, one and all, have al
ways maintained fair standing in society
Now. it may please men snC
newspapers, Of "low pursuit" to deal il
uncalled for defamation and detractior
in assailing political opponents, Many
men prefer rather to think and speaE
evil than good, especially when referring
to others; and the truth or falsity ofwhaI
they say to them is of little account. A
blackguard is very comm animal
these days, and he often crops out in
newspapers. When a man tries to be
low and mean he can succeed in great
