HON. JAMES A. ESTLLL.

The able editor of the Holmes C0o,ntg
Famer, was nominated last Saturday by
the gallantDemocracy of little Holmes fol
Representative to the General Assembly
This could not be bettered and does
honor to the county of Holmes, who
show that they appreciate their able and
efficient party organ and its devoted edi.
tor. We learn Judge Estill got AL
votes, and the other three excellent gen.
tlemen together got 829. There is no
nobler Democracy anywhere than that
little Holmes, and Judge Estill is
worthy of them and will make faithful
and capable member of the Legislature.
We congratulate our friend Estill on this
evidence of proper appreciation.

RICHLAND COUNTY.

The Democratic county convention of
Richland county met in Mansfield, Mon
day, to receive and count the votes cast
at the primary election on the Saturday
before. The candidates had been nu.
merous and the canvass very bitter. Re-
peating and other charges were made,
and some of the defeated threaten to con-
test To guard against trouble in the fu-
ture, the convention wisely determined,
after heated discussion, that hereafter
their primary elections should be held
under the Baber law, when judges and
clerks will act under oath, and lawful
regularity be observed.
Undoubtedly the Baber law will be a
great improvement but the agitation,
the personalities, the chickering's, and bit.
ter heartburnings will be none the less.
The penalty attending illegality under
the Baber law will be something, surely.
1t ought to make things more regular at
least, and somewhat prevent repeating
and ballot box stufing. These primary
meetings, conducted as they usually are,
constitute serious and shameless farce.
In Stark county, for instance, especial
ly in our larger towns, we cannot get men
of experience to form Board of Judges
so as to have the election conducted
somewhat regularly. Men do not wish
to cit and decide between friends, and
hence the important work is often left to
persons not fully qualified. Years ago in
Stark, polls were freely located over the
county in order that our country friends
could turn out as readily as those in the
towns but notwithstanding all this we
regret to say the towns beat them in vo-
ting, but the coal bank localities beat
them all.
The Baber law, or the delegate con-
vention plan is the remedy, at this rate
No political organization can bear such
strains long. Let our good Democratic
friends consider.

THE DEFEATED.

After a hot political contest we most
always sympathize with the defeated
more especially when among Democratic
friends for nomination cannot well help
it, for often the defeated were our earn
est and decided choice, noble fellows in
truth. But where two ride straddle on
one horse, one must ride behind.
In early life, at the age of ten, in 1880,
all our nature went out toward the gal
liant Polanders in their contest with Rus
sia, for independence. The beautiful
tale of Thaddeus of Warsaw made one
familiar with the struggle of 1897 when
Kosciusko commanded.
We always sympathize with the gal
liant and worthy defeated. Let the de-
feated, however, bear with philosophy
and endure with courage. HaYe a heart
for every fate, and trust it is for the best.
1t is really of little consequence who fll
the Offices from among our political friends
provided they are honest and capable
and faithful. The good of the cause is
paramount, and harmony and united &C
tion are all important.

SERIOUSLY, we ask our Democratic
friends throughout Stark county how
long this fraudulent and corrupt, as well
as corFupting system of nominating is to
be tolerated. Certain localities at our
Democratic primary elections sometimes
return tallies numbering three, four, five,
yes six or ten times greater than the
number of Democratic voters in all the
neighborhood. We appeal to our Demo-
cratic friends to consider the thing; and
especially do we appeal to the solid DEM
ocratic townships Of Stark county.
As conducted, our primary meetings
are only1a gambling farce without any
responsibility anywhere. Shameless
frauds are openly perpetrated, and Of
course there lis no penalty, as they are
not conducted under the law. In del
egate convention the delegates who are
to act are known. The meeting is con-
Quoted according to rules. Fairness must
be observed or public exposure by name
will fasten a responsibility. Under the
Baber law the officers at primary cleo

ed as at a regular election, with proper
penalties for fraud and villainy, Let us
have, hereafter, one or the other. Com

they have been converted in the same

do also good service, and, at the election,
the old love prevails.

The above includes the increase au-
thorized by the Legislature last winter
and Notwithstanding this the rate is less
than last year.
The levy of1876 was 4O,1OO, which is
a reduction this year Of fifteen humid

The Repository we remember, tried to
sound an alarm when the Republican
Legislature passed the act to allow the
Commissioners to increase the levy. We
mention this to allay the feeling in that
direction.

ALMOST without exception encouraging
crop reports are received from Kansas,

which by this time last year and two
years ago had suffered terribly from the
grasshopper have thus far either escaped
entirely or have received the visitation
in mild form. Everywhere the farmers
who generally take very practical and
matter-offact view of affairs are highly
encouraged at the excellent crop pros
pect, as well as at the prospect Of realizing
a better return upon their Investment Of

years. And when the farmer takes a

in feeling encouraged. - Chicago, Tribune,

IL Hayes is foolish enough to persistin
his efforts to create new party, or resur-
rect the old Whig party, he will play the
mischief with himself and his old party
friends, to whose active scheming he
owes his present position. Parties are
not easily created. Circumstances have
something to do with them. And then,
because man is acting as President he
may not on that account be imbued with
such creative power.

THE REPUBLICAN, primaries of Stark
county are to come off on the 10th inst.
We hope they will do their work fairly
and squarely; prevent repeating and
ballot-box stufing and other frauds at
the coal banks and elsewhere, even in
Canton, Massillon, Navarro and Fulton.
They were quite successful in Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina, and did sue
ceed in counting their Hayes in, but
even Hayes dared not claim those States
for the Republican party, and not one Of
these has now a Radical Governor. This
shows that, for time, fraud may sue
ceed.
But ever the Right comes uppermost
And ever Is justice done.
