A VISIT TO CANTON.

A part of last Monday and Monday evening we
spent in Canton. That city is one of the old
fashioned, substantial towns of Northern Ohio,
and 10 day is perhaps as prosperous, under the
general financial depression Sas any place OF like
size and character in the country. Canton is
backed by one of the best farming districts in the
State and some of the most substantial and sue.
cessfuI farmers live in Stark county. The popu.
lation of the city is about twelve thousand and
is quite largely of the German descent Aside
from the valuable farming district it has to sup
port it, there are some of the most successful man
ufacturing concerns in the State
Tile immense works of c. Aultman & Co. cover
acres of ground, and they turn out thousands of
reapers and mowers every year, which find their
way into every State and Territory of the nation.
The safe and lock works of Dieb0d & Co.'s is an
extensive establishment, aud their safes and locks
are found all over the land.
The Canton Wrought Iron Bridge Company has
become well known, and their bridges are used
from Maine to California.
There is also large steel works and other manu-
featuring establishments of some prominence, all
of which are in fair condition of prosperity.
The people of this good town are very proud Of
their CITY, and have an abiding faith in old Molly
Stark, Well they may, for it is one of the best
towns and is the Capital Of one of the most pros.
porous counties in the State.
Stark county has q population of about sixty
thousand nearly fourteen thousand voting popula-
ton, and in politics has been about equally d.
vided between the two great parties, but for the
past two years the Democracy has been In the
ascendency, and have quite substantial major
ity now, having carried the county by eight hun
|
dred majority last fall.
The STARK Co. DEMOCRAT published at Canton,
is one OF the old papers Of the State having been
in existence some forty years. and its present edi-
tor, Mr. McGregor, has occupied the editorial chair
of that paper for thirty odd years, and, with the
exception of one or two years uninterruptedly,
The DEMOCRAT is one of the best, If not the best
country paper in the State 1t has always re-
NAMED true to the National Democratic party,
and its editor is one Of the old timers in the faith
ever sdbering to the party organization and al
all times supporting with ardor and zeal party
nominations. The DEMOCRAT Office is one Of the
most complete country printing establishments
we have ever seen, there being in it four power
presses, and much more general stock and ma
terial than is usually found in country offices.
The business department of this paper is pre-
sided over and managed by son of the editor
John McGregor, an affable and pleasant gentle
man. and chip of the old block so far as Demo
cratic persuasion is concerned. This young gen
tleman is candidate for Clerk of House OF Rep
resentatives of this State, and we see number OF
our exchanges,are speaking most kindly of him

McGregor we believe him to be of the progress
sive, aggressive school In politics, and, as we are
in favor Of this kind, and of the young Democ-
raey, we endorse Mr., MoGregor, and hope he will
be elected We know he is competent and would
give satisfaction.
