The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1877-05-24
FOR CLERK OF COURT.

We notice by the last number Of the
Stark County Democrat, that our friend
John McGregor, the junior editor Of our
old home paper, on which we labored
some eight years along in the sos, is
candidate for the nomination of Clerk Of
the Court before the gallant and staunch
Democracy of "Old Molly Stark" We
well remember John as the carrier boy
when we we're sticking type and learn
ing the Art in that Office. He is now 32
years of age, and we know him TO be an
expert penman and otherwise we'll quail
fled for Clerk. The noble Democrats Of
Stark county we know warmly appreci-
ate their party organ. 1t ranks high
among the county papers of the State as
an efficient and influential Democratic
journal. Johns lifelong and active de-
votion in the cause, as we'll as the well
known sacrifices that the Stark County
Democrat has made, should give him a
cordial nomination. We hope to an
nounce in due time both his nomina-
ton and election Hardin Co. Democrat.

Mr. Mcdonald. Of Indiana, said he was at
Indianapolis on Monday, and passed a day
there. lie saw quite number of leading clti-
xsus of both political parties. He heard but
one opinion as TO the proprlety OF passing this
bill, and that was in favor OF it. lie was n The
State Seaatc. Reference was made IN CONVEX
sation 10 regard to the acliou OF the republican
caucus aud republican Senator said they had
passed resolution against the bill, but they
did not pass it by an unanimous vote. lie saw
ex Gov. Baker who supported the BILL and the
peopIe were united in favor OF peaceful solu-
ton Of the difficulty.
MIR. CoukIing said nothing was further from
his mind than to Intimate that the Senator from
Indiana did rot represent his constituents.
When the dispatch which he read this
morning came TO the committee ho thought he
had right to read it, even though it did come
from tho State which the Senator from Indiana
represented II the Senator (Mr. Morton)
thought he intended to accuse him OF mlsrcp-
rescuting his State be had only to say that TO
the Jealous, tribes light as air are confirmation
strong rs proofs of Holy Writ.
Dir. Morton. IF that was the only dispatch
which the committee ever had approving OF
their course then can excuse their desire to
get it before the public. AS to his colleague
(Mr. McDonald) he never regarded him as u
correct exponent Of the republican sentiment OF
Indiana Laughter
Nh Mcdonald sail! he would like to know
what the standiog Of Baker Fisher and lloyle,
OF Indianapolis, was?
Alr. Morton. They are gentlemen Of stand
ing; my warm friends. Continuing lis remarks,
Mr.. Morton said it was to the interest OF the
man whom he believed to have been elected
President Of the United States; it was to the
interest of truth and to the best interest of the
nation that the vote Tor President now should
be counted as it was during the first three
quarters OF century Of the republic. 1t was
not right to make new plan now. For years
he had been attempting to bring this matter
before Congress, but no interest was taken IN
it, and it was now Insisted that new plan
should be made,

many of the errors and miststements and make

Of its passage is 50 strong that they have lost

Some of our leaders whose duty it was 10 the
