OUR CANDIDATE FOR THE STATE
SENATE

Most judicious was the unanimous
action of the Democratic committees of
Carroll and Stark in placing in nom
ination for the State Senate, Hon. JOHN
SON SHERRIcK of our city.
Mr.. SHERRICK has had an experience
of four sessions in the lower House OF our
General Assembly, which we'll qualities
him to make a most useful member OF
the Senate. His course in the House
commanded the respect of all; and in
consequence, Mr.. Sherrick was an infu-
entail member of that body and always
gave the business his close and careful
attention.
We have every confidence of his elec-
ton. He is a man of intelligence and
high integrity, and will make faithful,
conscientious member of the Senate.
He will be working member, no mere
wind bag or specimen Of wordy infla-
ton, blowing off stuff to the annoyance
and disgust OF the BODY lie is the very
man the honest voters Of Carroll and
Stark should send to the Senate. as we
have no doubt they will
1t is generally known that Mr.. Sher'
rick is Of the hardware firm of Sherrick
& Miller of our city-that he was raised
on the farm two miles from Canton
where his grandfather settled sixty Oh
more years ago-that he comes of good
solid Pennsylvania or Maryland Dutch
stock and turns the beam at about zoe
pounds. Those who may not know him
personally may thus learn that he is ot
good lineage, well proportioned, sound
of mind, and with a clear, big hear
and conscience.
1t will be seen Mr.. Sherrick will fill a
seat in the Senate and help to give
wholesome, manly character to thai
body. He will be found the right man
in the right place. Vote for him and tel
your neighbors to do the same. They
will never regret it.

JoHN SHERMAN, in his Mansfield speech
accounts for the hard times in the same
way as do all the Republican stump ora
tors to the ebb and flow of trade and
productions. Men holding Office at the
hands of the President, are loath to ac-
knowledge the cause or causes of our
present troubles. Their unjust and lnfa-
nous restrictive tariff frauds, shutting
off foreign markets, and depressing 9TH
erwise laboring people, have had their
share in bringing about the present con-
dition of the country. Under the green
back initiation era the National Debt and
other debts were piled up without due
consideration and now by their con-
traction policy these debts have become
mountains of oppression. These debts
are now gold, and the burden upon labor
is doubled or more than doubled in con-
sequence. This is plain question, and
the wayfaring man, though fool, need
not err therein.

A PHENOMLNAL XECUTION, EX-
PEDITTOUS AND NO GUSH.

NoRR1sTowN, Pa, Sept. 10.-Thomas
Francis Curley who murdered Mary Ann
Whitley, was hanged this morning in
prison in the presence of about two hum
dred people, including officials. After the
services of the Catholic Church the drop,
at 1915, fell and death followed almost
instantly. The body was allowed to hang
twenty-five minutes and was then deliv-
cred to attendant priests Curey's only
remark upon the scaffold was, Gentle
men, bid you all good bye"

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CAN
GIVE NO RELIEF.

Judge West, the Republican candidate
for Governor, in his Marietta speech says
that there is no Congressional surgery
by which the present times can be cured
that they are beyond the reach of hu-
man power. By implication he charges
these times down to Almighty power.
If times we're as prosperous as they are
now hard, he would ask that credit be
given to the Republican party for the
prosperity. Inasmuch as he thus con-
cedes that the Republican party can do
nothing to relieve the distress of the peo-
pie. the people owe it to themselves to
try the Democratic party, which cham
pions a policy that does hold out the
hope of relief.-Plain Dealer.

A Democratic U. s. Senator in
Place of ''Efligy" Sargent.

SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. THE latest
election returns indicate that the Demo-
Gratis have elected ten Senators and fifty
seven Assemblymen. Republicans elect
ten Senators and twenty-three Assem-
blymen. Including the "hold overs" the
Democrats have thirty-eight majority on
Joint ballot. This secures a Democratic
successor to "Efigy" Sargent, one of the
Hayes conspirators in the United States

mining law. A number of suits are held
in abeyance, to give operators four weeks

locomotive caused the death of seven
men, insists upon putting another loco

HOW D. D. Spencer and Family Fled from
Chicdgo-Trackedto Montreal.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6,-There is now little.
doubt but that D. D. Spencer has been
tracked to his retreat. Ithas been ascer-
tanned that he,with his wife and adopted
daughter, took the Michigan Central train
on Aug. 26 at 5:l5 P. M. They subsequent
ly took section four in the sleeping car
Grand Rapids. This car was in charge
of Conductor Humphries and colored
porter named Williams. 1t is from them
that the information comes at this late
date. The party went as far as Hamilton,
Canada, where they took the train for
Toronto. Conductor Humphries says that
when they reached Hamilton the Toronto
train had started, but the man whom he
believes to be Spencer, had him stop it
and went on board not stopping to take
their baggage, which they left behind in
their hoste, with orders to have it sent
on. 1t is said also that Spencer was seen
at Montreal last Sunday, where he regis
tered at the st. Lawrence Hall under the
name of D. D. Allen Of Toronto. 1t is
believed that his wife has gone to his
fathers place at Mohawk New York.

OUR candidates for county positions
are, we understand, vigorously doing theil
entire duty. We believe such is the case
each candidate constituting himself q
special committee of one to secure the
election of the entire ticket. This is as
it should be, for candidates cannot ex'
pect the voter to take off his coat and Ia
Dor for their election, if they will not DC
so themselves. We are glad to say We
are confident our candidates fully appre'
ciate their individual duty to the cause

not in well doing.

WE invite the attention of Amos W.
Coatess friends in this county to the fol-
lowing paragraph in the last Massi lion
Independent, Folger's organ:
as it true that prominent citizen OF
Alliance furnishes money to the three
Democratic papers in this district to pay
for their attacks on Mr.. Folger"
We deny any such charge as intimated;
it is wholly and absolutely false, and Mr..
Folger knows it to be. But we desire to
know who the prominent citizen of AL
lance" is. Why don't Folger name him2
Does he refer to Mr.. Coates2 Who else
could it be intended forP Why does
Mr., Folger and his friends persistently
and maliciously pile insult upon insult
ON Mr.. Coates2 Folger voted against him
two years ago for State Senator; cheated
and tricked him out of the nomination
for State Senator this year. Not content
with this, he now raises base, bad bold
broad charge at Coates, which is not true
and ill.advised. At this rate he will
soon mount the watch tower of the Re.
publican party of this district, and punch
Amos w. Coates out of the party.-Car-

Or townsmen are much elated over
the nomination of Judge West for Gov
ernor. He is a man of unmistakable
ability, but his physical defects are such
as to render him in great measure unfit
for the position. He is so nearly blind
as to have to be led wherever he goes. l
was in town yesterday morning when he
came up, and he was led by his son from
his carriage to his Office; and he is 80
weak and feeble, that he makes great use
of stimulants whenever called upon to
make public addresses. l think it prob
able that the excessive use of brandy
led to the uttering of the twaddle he used
in Cleveland the evening after the NOM
ination. He is not an inebriate, but the
temperance party has nothing to hope
for from him. l am a good deal of the
same opinion that the old woman was
when her husband and the bear were
fighting, not caring much which whips.
