"a MISCELLANEOUS MAN"

General S. F. Cary addressed large
meeting on our Public Square last satur'
day evening in the interest of the Work.
ingmens movement, his speech lasting
some three hours.
On Sunday afternoon in the Baptist
church the General delivered temper
ance lecture to full house. And, on
Sunday evening at Spiritual seance,
which fraud, we understand, filed the
Opera House at thirty'fve cents head,
General Cary made himself useful and
conspicuous as an assistant in some way
All this reminds us of What we heard
on one occasion, when it was said Gener'
al Cary was probably the ablest stumper
for miscellaneous crowd in the country
The reply was 4: mo doubt, for, as
speaker, he is the most decidedly mis-
cellaneous man in the country"
We did not hear nor see General Gary
at all on either of the distinguished oc-
casions in our city, for on Saturday even
ing we listened to Hon. Frank Hurd In
the Opera House who made a capital and
true workingman's Democratic speech
consistent with truth and history. ,
As a public speaker, General Cary has
been long before the public Weare not
sure indeed but this fact gave him the
distinguished title, for we never heard OF
him being in the army. His favorite
topics for many years have been Temper
ancc and Labor. Professional public
speakers may always find something good
and fresh to say on these fertile and new
er ending themes. Like an India rubber
blanket, they stretch conveniently, and
can be used by honest men as well as
hireling demagogues.
We have also known General Cary as
a Republican stumper as we'll as an elo-
ouent Democratic speaker. Indeed, so
grateful were we for his Democratic Ia
bors that we were instrumental in help
ing to nominate him two years ago as our
candidate for Lieutenant Governor on
the ticket with Governor Allen. Then it
was that those leading Workingmen (?)
Louis schaefer and Left-enant Governor
Hugo Preyer, opposed and denounced
Mr.. Cary on account Of him being tenn
perance mani They are lovingly togeth-
er now, in the same bed, and it is pleas
ant to behold
"Tom Boleen and his wife, and his wife's mother
All getting into one bed togetherP
From the interest the General and
Schaefer took in the Spiritual seance in
the Opera House on Sunday evening last,
we have been wondering if Mr.. Cary has
it not in contemplation to lecture also on
spiritualism. If so he should take
Loushiffer with him. We have no doubt
they would make it success and create
a sensation

THE GAS QUESTION

Is now pending before our City Council.
That body has fixed the price that the
Gas company must make and sell gas
for, 1925 per thousand cubic feet, and
ordered the City Solicitor to draft bill
accordingly. This bill will probably be
up for action and passage on Monday
next.
Two weeks ago we stated the liberal
offer oft the Gas company, and we had no.
ped the majority of the Council would
meet the company with the same spirit
of liberality and fairness. Just now,
however, it looks otherwise.
The fact is, fair dry goods man does
not usually like customer to fix imper-
atively the price Of his goods. Neither
would grocer, or any other dealer, like
TO be thus interfered with unreasonably
by q customer or even an outside party.
There is reason and fairness in all things,
and we trust our Council will reconsider
the matter, as the Gas company say they
cannot afford to manufacture good gas at
this price, and hence will not.
The Gas company should certainly be
consulted on this matter, and listened to
respectfully, and not be treated arbitrar-
lily by our city fathers now in power. II
the Council and Gas company cannot
come to terms, let an outside commission
of ofdisinterested, competent business men,
who would investigate fully and without
prejudice, and reportlaccordingly. We
make this suggestion as worthy Of con-
sideration. The members Of the Coun.
Gil, we presume, wish to do the fair thing,
and should,
OF course poor gas can be made cheap
er than good gas; but who wants poor
gasP And then the difference is only %
cents thousand, which, divided among
consumers, Is q small matter, but to the
company an important item.

MR.. JOSEPH PULITZER.

This able, scholarly and eloquent gen.
tleman addressed a meeting in the Opera
House on Monday evening. His speech
was by all odds the most full, complete
and severe excoriation of the party in
power that We have listened to. 1t was
a presentment Of criminal and foul mis-
deeds against justice and liberty, and an
arraignment Of the Republican leaders,
terrible to relate and horrible to contem-
plate.
The speech was reported in full for the
Enquirer, and is published in that paper
of yesterday. We shall reproduce it in
the DEMOCRAT, for it is an able produc-
! ton, replete with the overwhelming
facts of history, we'll condensed and most
pointedly told.
Mr.. Pulitzer is much younger man
than we expected to meet, being only
past thirty. elsa resident of st. Louis.
We only regret the state of his health
prevented him sooner participating in
our campaign. His effort took near two
hours in the delivery, and the speaker
was frequently interrupted by applause
and cheers,
Last fall Mr.. Pulitzer spoke in Massil-
Ion, but we had not then the pleasure of
hearing him, although we heard much
of his speech from the friends there. He
spoke in the Massillon Opera House on
Tuesday evening, this week, and went to
Cincinnati to make two or three other
speeches there.
Mr.. Pulitzer does not discourse upon
the currency, believing that the great
and overwhelming issue is LIBERTY.
When the People, by a large majority
elect man to the Presidency, and that
man, Tilden, is counted out, and Hayes
counted in through fraud, perjury, bri-
berry and villainy Of all sorts, the ques-
ton is, the rights and liberties Of the
People
He praises Ohio as a great State, and
thinks highly Of her productions, but
three Of our products he does not praise,
namely: John Sherman, Stanley Mat.
thews and James A. Garfield nor does
he like the product Of these products,
Rutherford B. Hayes He then relates
the part they took in giving the People q
fraudulent President; mentions Garheld's
DeGolyer, Credit Mobilier thievery, and
says he wants Ohio to go Democratic to
prevent such man being United States
Senator.
In Europe the rule generally is that
the people belong to the Government;
here we have been taught to think the
Government belonged to the Peoplel
The Republican party, however. have
established the European principlel
Mr.. Pulitzer paid his respects to the
Cabinet, giving Washington's rule, that a
cabinet officer should be honest, capable

His remarks on responsibility were
most beautiful and appropriate. The
child has to be taught responsibility the
youth also daily lessons are given in all
possible ways. Men as individuals, are
responsible for their trusts and acts
Responsibility is one important element
of education among mankind. Your ac-
cepted agent, lawyer or not, Office holder
or not, takes the responsibility. 1t is a
principle in our laws, throughout society
Let the voting citizen realize his respon'
sibility and act we'll and true his part
Mr.. Hayes substantially admitted the
fact of Tilden's election, in refusing to
recognize Chamberlain and Packard, for
they got more votes than Hayes in their
respective States
A Republican victory in Ohio next
Tuesday means on endorsement of the
fraud, of the perjury and crimes of Wells
& Co. It will encourage these bad men
to repeat in 1880, by force and fraud, the
same high handed crime-a crime against

stated In his letter, but as my memory

ofany ofthe interviews to my friends for

Tom further argues that if he had the
matter in his own hands as charged he
would have taken the Post Office himself
rather than made a corrupt bargain with
Shaffer. AS to his having the matter in
his own hands his propositions will an

IRA A. ALLEN AND SIMON JOHN
SON.

Ira M. Allen, who was County Treas
urer four years, and whom John H. MIL
Ter beat for the Republican nomination
two months ago, is not not satiated nor
satisfied. He is travelling the county for
ard with Simon Johnson, of Alliance,
Republican candidate against Sheriff
Rauch, and ifAlen can only hornswog-
gle Simon through, he, Allen, is to be
deputy. We learn Ira is working hard,
nay piteously, Notwithstanding his good
and healthy four years in the Stark Co.
Treasury,
One would suppose, naturally, that Ira
ought to be satisfied with the good long
pull that he had. 1t is onlya little over
three years since Mr.. Allen let go the tit,
and yet he thirsts for more. Let no SEN
sble voter be deluded with Ira's oily
tongue. He only works for Ira M. Allen
is offering to trade off any or all OF the
Republican candidates to get votes for
Simon Johnson against Sheriff Rauch'
This is snakish and dishonorable busi-
ness, but it shows how hungry Allen and
johnson both are.
This new partnership on such ba'
sis will not be likely to meet with sue
cess.

The Grand Jury Endorse Sheriff Rauch
and say the Jail Is Properly Kept

In regard to the matter in which Sher-
ifF Rauch has conducted the jail, voters
will do we'll to peruse the following;
To the Honorable the Court Of Common
Pleas In and for Stark County:
The Grand Jury for this May term, A.
D. 1877, beg leave to report that IN purr'
suance Of the directions of the Court,
they have visited the County jail ana
have carefully examined into it's condi,
ton, the manner it is kept, and into the
keeping and treatment Of the prisoners
confined therein, and have made dill
gent inquiry as to whether the rules for
merly prescribed by this Court have been
observed, and in regard thereto they say
that they find the Jail cleanly and care
fully kept, that every reasonable accom-
mediation is furnished looking to the
comfort of the prisoners, and that the
rules referred to are fully observed. The
inmates of the Jail add their testimony
to the effect that they are well fed.
RICHARD LIE, Foreman.
The above jury consisted of majority
of Republicans, and that speaks all the
better for Sheriff Rauch.

Concerning Newspapers.

The Chicago Inter Ocean boasts that in
less than five years from the date OF its
foundation, it lost S302,705 III running
expenses, without counting any loss by
deterioration Oh machinery and fixtures.
The figures are without doubt not placed
too high, and the statement is more sur
prising that it has been run at a profit
for the past five months. Chicago was
well stocked with good papers before the
Inter Ocean was started, and the wonder
is that even with the favor OF the Admin
istration and the Republican party behind
it, it has lived, even without thriving
Like almost every newspaper ever start
ed in this country, it banllrupted the com
pany which originated it, and is now in
other HANDS. Several of our exchanges
have commented on newspaper failures
and successes of late, but we wish to say,
with all proper Difference to their Judge
ment, that none of them to our thinking
have gone to the bottom of the matter.
They talk mostly of the greatly increased
expenses of publishing daily paper since
the war, which is all true enough, but
that difficulty in the way OF establishing a
newspaper is by no means insurmounta-
Bile The real obstacle which generally
speaking the new journal can get neither
over nor around is that the field is already
occupied, and it is surprising how little
politics has to do with the success OF
newspapers. ''POssession is nine points
of the law" and this is true in newSpa-
per publishing far beyond any other kind
OF business
The reading of a certain newspaper is
matter of habit, and is no more easily
changed than any other habit, good or
bad. And advertising flows on regularly
in its accustomed channels. Hence it
follows as matter of course that with the
exercise of ordinary common sense, and
perhaps a little extra enterprise ludicious-
ly applied with the help of experience,
the established newspaper fully holds its
own while the newcomer gets only tie
drippings and leavings of the feast. 1t
may be laid down as a general rule that a
new journal is an extra tax on 4 cOmmu-
nifty, and the fact that so many Of these
enterprises fail does not prove that they
may not have been conducted with lib
erality and enterprise. 1t means simply
that community is unwilling or unable
to indulge in the luxury of an additional
journal. Chicago is a great business and
news centre and has an enormous capac-
ity to support newspapers. Nevertheless,
if the Inter Ocean has really reached 4
point where it sees profit and with loss
of less then half a million in five years, in
the face Of the Tribune, it is not unnatu-
raj that it should allude to the fact with
pride. Worcester Gazette.
