CANTON, o., Sept |, 1877,
Mr.. Editor During late political campaigns II
appears that credence is given bya certain class
OF persons, to all kinds Of rumors, no matter how
absurd they may be, Should man be In Office,
or running for an Office, II is all the same with
'these political vampires. II seems that they
are only happy when they arc attempting to cir
culate reports tending to traduce mans charaC-
ter, whether said reports be truth or falsehood,
This campaign isno exception. From my per
sonal observation and from reports from reliable
sources, am assured that certain parties have
extensively circulated report throughout the
county that have thrown aside my Democratic
principles and am endeavoring 10 throw what
ever influence that may possess, IN favor Of the
Republican candidate for County Treasurer, be.
cause he happens TO be one Of my relatives, To
| all such reports desire to give publicly, an
emphatic denial
have lived in this cOunty.for sererdl years and
am willing to leave II to any Of our old, sturdy,
faithful Democrats to say, or prove, that have
ever been backward in doing all In my power TO
ensure the success Of the party in every campaign
since have been a voter, You have by your
ballots, granted me for two terms the privilege of
filling one of the most important offices in the
| county, for which l sincerely thank you and
trust that have fulfilled the Office to your entire
satisfaction. have think, a right to claim a
portion Of the praise of the Stark county Democ.
racy, for doing all In my power to place the party
In the lead in this county and State. Ihave been
Democrat all my life love the principles the
party, and am determined to die a Democrat
In this campaign l, of course, am not expected
to take particularly active part, but shall, as
ever, do all in my power and use all the inhu-
ence that may possess to ensure the victory OF
the WhOle Democratic ticket, both county and
State, even should the entire Republican ticket
be made up of relatives Of mine. l claim the
right to my political opinions and as far as know
my relatives have no objections, Hoping that this
explanation may check the ridiculous rumor re-
ferred to, and again pledgng myself as one who
will ever endeavor to promote the interest Of the
Democracy, am respectfully,
GEORGE FESSLER.

STILL LATER PARTICULARS.

There seems to be some doubt in the minds Of
Interested parties as to which was the winning
plow at the match on the Myers farm. Now, to
settle that matter clear in the minds of all inter
ested parties we append the certificate of the three
who havea right to know for themselves:
have bought and have now on my farm Reg
uator plow and intend to keep it.
WILLIAM MYERS.
have tried both the Regulator and Boss Cham
pion plow and am satisfied that the Regulator is
the best, and propose to keep it, have returned
the Boss Champion plow,
JOSEPH MYERS.
Having had both the Regulator and Champion
plows on my farm on trial, find the Regulator
does the best work, runs the lightest and would
not give it up for two Boss Champions.
NICHOLAS HUBER.
The above explains ITSELF True, Mr.. VIM.
Myers did, on the Sd, send back the Regulator and
Champion plows by the Boss man, NJ, L. Gibbs,
who would not take bis plow away unless the
Regulator went with it, and insisted upon taking
1t along, and had the cheek to do SO but on Sept
5th bought another Regulator and also Joseph
Myers, his brother, who had Champion, did, on
Sept. 9th, buy Regulator, and sent the Champion
home. The above two with one bought by Nicho.
las Huber, makes three Regulators now in use on
the same farm bought at the regular price, with.
out any reduction or extras thrown in.
Such is the inVarlabe result after farmers have
tested them for themselves without interferences,
and as evidence the Regulator folks are doing the
selling, which is proof that the Regulator is the
best plow and giving the best satisfaction.
