No SENTENCE Of death has been exc
cuted in Belgium since 1853. Commu-
tation to penal servitude for life, OF
which part may subsequently be remit
ted, has been the course invariably fol-
lowed. A recent great increase in crimes
of violence of the worst kind has given
occasion for bringing the subject again
before the Chamber. The Minister OF
Justice, however, made the declaration
that he would rather resign his once
than permit single sentence Of death
to be executed. Murderers in Belgium
have therefore still good tine before
them,

SHALL The OLD CORRUPT REPUB-
LICAN RING BE REVIVED?

Some years ago the ring that run Re-
publican politics in this county, became
too corrupt and odious for their own par
ty to carry, and they were kicked out.
1t was known as the Feather Cock Law
renee ring. We need not particularize,
although we could. The question now
is-shall this ring be revivedP
Shall John N. Ramsey, a relative of one
Of the old ring, and pet of Henry Cock
and Tom saxton (who has a father in
law, defeat Auditor Sourbeck, fair,
square manP
Shall John r. Miller, manipulated
through, and counted in as nominee
by Henry Cocks management, over Ira
M. Allen, be elected over "Ted" Sullivan,
a fair man and we'll qualified2 Nay,
verify. The People of Stark county, yes
the Republicans of Stark county, have
had enough of that ring
So unpopular is Henry Cock, that John
R. Miller, after getting the nomination
over Allen, had to snub Cock and give
him the go.bv till after election And
Allen, poor Allen, was weak enough to
be deluded by promise Of deputy Sher-
iff under Simon johnson, if Simon, "sim-
pie Simon" should defeat John Rauch.
Allen, we suppose, thinks he is popular,
bat he is only now common man !
Even John R. Miller, loaded down as he
is with woman, beat Ira for nomina-
ton. Good bye, Mr.. Allen, politically !
Good bye, John Miller, woman and all !

An Honest Treasurer.

TIMOTHY SULLIVAN was township treas
urer of Lawrence township for several
years. going out of Office last spring, and
gave good satisfaction and settled up with
his successor according to law, as we
know, having seen the receipts "in full"
What is the use of the hired liars of John
R. Miller telling that he did not2 Why,
Louis Dumont, of our town, who beat
Miller, as treasurer of Canton township,
could tell that he (Dumont) had to wait
ten months on MILLER. Personal abuse
and lies seem to be all the stock in trade
left to our opponents. We say, VoTE FOR
TIMOTHY SULLIVAN for County Treasurer.
He is an honest man and staunch Demo-
crat.

SULLIVAN,

Who is our candidate for County Treas
urer, is q gentleman eminently fit for the
position and every way trustworthy. For
years he has been an honored and Capa-
BILE business man of Canal Fulton who
has enjoyed the full confidence of the
community Of all classes.
SULLIvAN's generous impulses are fully
appreciated where he lives, as has always
been seen when he ran for township
treasurer, never having been defeated,
we believe, although Lawrence is a strong
Republican township and Sullivan ever
a staunch, unhinching Democrat.
In his youth he labored with the mi
ners, so that he knows what it is to work.
All this, with his business knowledge,
only qualities him the better to ervethe
public and appreciate the responsibilities
of the position of County Treasurer.
Mr.. Sullivan, in all meritorious points
as to qualification, is at least the equal,
if not the superior of John R. Miller, the
Republican candidate for the same posi-
ton. In only one thing is Mr.. Miller
ahead of Ted Sullivan, an that is, in his
thousands. Mr.. Miller is one of our
wealthy citizens, and we learn he is
spending freely to try and capture the
County Treasury.
Sullivan, in that Office, will I'll the
bill admirably and be popular officer.
We are sure The people of Stark county
will never regret his election, but will
be we'll pleased Herewith. We say en-
phatically, VOTE FOR SULLIVAN
AND THE WHOLE TICKET.

AUDITOR SOURBECK.
The Slanders of Last Weeks Re-
pOsitOry Refuted.

THE Repository of last week, in long
article, revived its ISLANDER against Auditor
Sourbeck, holding Mr., Sourbeck respon-
sible for School Treasurer Greiner's de-
falcation
This futile attempt to implicate Mr..
Sourbeck amounts to nothing, for there
is nothing in it; and the old women and
knaves Of the Repository, father-in.law
and all, would know this ii they had any
brains or honesty.
A year ago last winter Mr.. Greiner's
bank at Alliance failed, and Mr.. Greiner
was member of the Board of Education
of Alliance and school treasurer of the
District He proved a defaulter to the
amount of $4,000.
Shortly before his failure he drew the
school money of Alliance out of the
County Treasury on the order of Auditor
Sourbeck, as the law authorized.
A suit is now pending in the Common
Pleas Court in which the Board of Edu-
cation of Alliance sue Lanborn and 9TH
ers, the bondsmen of Greiner on his last
bond, for Greiner was serving his third
term as school treasurer. On the trial
the sureties of Greiner will prove that
1856 was a deialcation under the for
mer bond, Greiner's second term. This
would cut the $4,000 down to little
over $1,000. The defendants also will
prove that they, as surety, are only liable
for $l3S. It seems that most of the $l7,-
900 was money borrowed by the Board
on bonds issued for building. These
bonds were for $4,000, The committee
that negotiated these bonds, it is claimed
had not formally and legally placed this
money in the Alliance school treasury,
and hence Mr.. Greiner's security cannot
be held liable. We know this is the
opinion of able lawyers who have exam
ined the case.
These points cover all the case and
completely exonerate AUDITOR SoURBEcK.
Let not malice and meanness iDjure an
honest official, as Auditor SourbeCk is.
At least, let. no honest voter believe lie.

THE effort of the Stark County Demo.
Crqt is now to convince its readers that the
colored voters of Stark county will not
vote for Robert II. Folger for the Senate.
Well, for all we know, that may be 30,
for we have seen "colored folks" before,
who were ungrateful enough to desert
their friends, and go over to the support
of their foes, just as white people do
sometimes, but they are very mean who
do it, no matter what their complexion
may be.-ALIidnCe Review.
Well, we think Gilbert N. Porter and
Andrew Scott will not likely Support
their foe" Folger; white people wouldn't.
Does the Review remember that ardent let
ter fMr. Fol ger in favor Of Hayes, which
that paper answered so curtlyP Does
that paper suppose that colored voters
are going to support Hayes, or vote for
such obsequious serVile Hayes tools as
Robert H. FolgerP They know their
duty better, and won't support their
foes.n o..

President HAYES and not Sheriff RaUCh.

The Republican is the party of military
force as against the supremacy of the
civil law. This was demonstrated two
years ago when President Hayes, then
Governor of Ohio, sent troops to the
mining region about Massillon, before
trying to have enforced the civil law.
The late railroad strikes and riots are
other cases in point, and. as consequence
led to the loss of innocent lives. Fortu-
nately in Stark County no life was taken,
but one man was dangerously wounded.
Simon johnson and Ira M. Allen, or
their hired liars and lying press, are busy
laying all these things at the door of
Sheriff Rauch, especially charging the
Sheriff of being responsible for the
woundlng in question. Let our friends
retort, when the falsehood is told them,
in the classic language of Horce Greeley {:

JOHN T. HAYS,

Our candidate for Clerk of Courts, does
not escape from lying yarns, intended to
take votes from him. Finding nothing
else to say, they take to falsehood, be-
lieving that lie we'll stuck to is as good
as the truth. They are trying to make
out that Mr. Hayes is riCh-has pile,
and in this deceptive and mean way hope
to beat him. His correct habits and
gentlemanly department prevent all as
sault in these quarters, and hence the
other silly yarn, silly even if it were true,
which it is not.
Slanderous tongues in blackmailer
Republican mouths, are busy just now.
They are very busy sounding abroad
that MR.. JOHN T. HAYS, our candidate
for Clerk of Courts, is quite rich, and

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY SHIELDS for the
best interests of the county should be
retained in the responsible position
which he has filed so Capably, and the
duties of which he has 80 faithfully dis
charged. It is not a position of trust and
responsibility in the same sense as the
positions of Sheriff and Treasurer, for
the law requires not such ample and full
security in the way of a heavy bond, the
pecuniary responsibility being little or
nothing. Nevertheless, the prosecutor
ship involves other responsibilities, no
less important to the public, such as per-
sonal honor and proper legal knowledge
and experience to I'll Creditably the re.
quirements pertaining to the position.
Besides these qualifications necessary to
a proper discharge Of the duties of the
Office, 80 important to the public peace
and welfare, besides these, we say, there
is a moral responsibility that should
not be lost sight of-Correct. habits Of
life, for example, are indispensable in
our Judgment in selecting man for the
Office of Prosecuting Attorney. In this
regard we are confident Mr.. Shields will
receive the votes of many Repub'
lican citizens who are fully satisfied that
he is the right man in the right place,
and that the public good demands he
should be continued. :.as Prosecuting

ANOTHER FOLGER CASE,
HOW HE TREATED MRS. RAY.

TUsCARAwAs TP., 1877.
Editor Democrat In my feeble way I
want to tell of little fraud perpetrated
on myself by Robert II. Folger, when
was lily prepared to be victim of deCep-
ton, however small the amount involv-
ed.
In 1872, l think it was, had an un-
manageable son, and, after exhausting all
the means within my reach to effect his
reform, l consented to make application
for his admission into the Reform School.
My brother.in-law, Mr.. Cupples, called
on r. Fl. Folger to institute such action
as was necessary, when he, Folger, told
him he would take the boy to said school
for $25. A few days later Mr.. Cupples
called to give Folger the money, when
he, Folger, demanded $50. Again he
called to pay over the $50, when Folger
demanded $35, saying the money ad-
vanced would be refunded by theseoun-
ty, and that he would return the amount
to the mother of the boy when he got
back. He took the $50, however, and
went with the boy to the Reform
School, and when he returned, collected
from the county $50, but has not paid to
me any part of the amount so recovered.
He offers his note, but knowing of his
responsibility, I did not take bis paper;
and now, after a lapse Of five years, when
Folger seeks promotion to a place that
ought to be held by an honorable man, 1
make this expose, that I have contem-
plated for three years past, but was dis
suaded by friends, because there was not
millions in it."
Mr.. Cupples paid him $50 before start
ing, and he recovered $50 from the coun-
ty on bis return, making $50, one half of
which he promised Mr.. Cupples to give
me, but it is still an empty promise.
Yours, &C.,
MALINDA RAY.

the party of fraud and force. The lead
ers now contemplate large standing

starving laborers of the country. This is
to be done in accordance with the wish
of the monied and monopoly lords and
railroad kings of the country, with whom
the Republican leaders herd and belong.
These lords and kings are the direct re-

party. Cannot workingmen see2

LEONARD RABER,


The Auditor Of this county has not drawn as
much for salary and fees as by law he is entitled
to. The statement issued by the Repository neith-
er shows what the law is nor the facts are.
Voucher No. 1919 amounting to 5000 Is for
plating, and was paid to J, G. willard.
Voucher 49, for s95 90 is for clock, bought by the
Commissioners.
Voucher 1895, for $4,000, Is for safe bought by
Commissioners, and the Auditor RECEIVED NONE
OF THE ABOVE SUMS
Voucher SIG Of 5000, Is for an allowance made
by Joint Board OF Childrens' Home.
Voucher 20 for 5000 is for Annual Report Of
Commissioners to Court Of Common Pleas
Voucher $40, for $500, is for expenses to and
from Columbus for County Commissioners about
bridge suit.
Vouchers 1924 and 1877, amounting to S97500
were fees allowed for time and expenses in as
sessing railroads for two years, as the law pro-
vides
These items constitute in part Of the salary or
fees allowed the Auditor, as Auditor.
The amount Of the fees for some Of the services
of the Auditor, in addition to his salary, as yet
have not been aseertained and have not been
drawn but the sums drawn BY the Auditor are
not sufficient TO pay for his salary and the fees
which have already been ascertained.
This can readily be seen TO be true statement
OF the law and the facts by reference to the books
and the Statutes, and any investigation will meet
with my hearty approval.
