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

THE nomination of Charles Francis
Adams for Governor by the Democrats
of Massachusetts is an eminently respec-
table one. Mr.. Adams is not such Dem
ocrat as would be recognized in OHIO
and indiana, and across the Ohio River
he would be set down as an unmitlgated
Republican, or Radical with conserya-
tive views. He has declared for Illden
and Reform, however, and may pass in
Massachusetts for a Democrat.-C1ncar'-
natl Commercial
Charles Francis Adams gives the infu-
ence of his great name and abilities to
the Democratic party because he recog-
nizes in Samuel J. Tilden and the St.
Louis platform a genuine return to the
time.honored principles of Jeffersonian
Democracy. He is in favor of Free-tfade,
hard. money and home.rule, and hence
he gives a hearty support to Tilden and
Reform.
Four years ago the Commercial was the
leading champion Of Charles Francis Ad-
ans for the Presidential nomination by
the Liberals and Democrats, but now,
since it has become an organ of Grant
ism. it can see no good in him. 1t is the
Commercial that has changed, and not
Mr.. Adams.
