CLERK OF COURTS.


EDITOR DRMoCRAT--Dear Sir! In your issue Of
last week, you speak OF MIR. John McGregor's
claim for nomination for Clerk Of Courts. You
say "Were II not for special reasons Mr.. John
would not be candidate for anything, and our
true friends well know what these reasons are"
Now, do not understand what you have refer
ence to, when you speak Of special reasons why
Mr.. John is a candidate bat it seems to me the
Democrats of Stark county owe something 10 the
Stark County DEMOCRAT for the able manner in
which II has stood up for them during the past,
and If they will but think Of the odds which the
DEMOCRAT has had TO contend with the past l6
years. 1t will be rendering but meager service for
the fearless and independent manner in which
you, as the editor of the DEMOCRAT with your
pen, fought their battles for them-especially at
time when to ayow yourself Democrat were
thought to be treason.
In those days when Democratic printing offices
were broken up and the editor mobbed, he who
dared In the face of the howlings stand up and
defend what ne thought to be Democratic, de-
serves the gratitude and the hearty assistance Of
every Democrat
And now when the junior proprietor of the
DEMOCRAT asks for an office which the Democrats
Of Stark have power to bestow, 1t seems to me 1t
would be quite ungrateful in the party moi 10 give
him the nomination, especially at this time when
the Stark County DEMOCRAT needs all the assist
ance its friends can give. 1 say then 10 the Dem
ocratic friends of Stark we should assist the DEM
ocRAT by giving to John McGregor the nomina-
tion for Clerk Of Courts. John Is well qualified
for the position, and no filter nomination could
be made.

DEATH OF FREDERICK VOLoRAFT, Frederick
or Fritz Volcran better known to visitors at the
County In6rmary as Santa Anna" died last
Thursday at that institution and was buried on
Friday from the German Reform church, oi
which he was jealous member. The deceased
was character in some respects remarkable, and
were his history given in detail it would prove
highly interesting. His age was 50 years, having
been born In Marburgh, Germany, In 1903, and
came to this country when quite young man
and in $3.50 worked at his trade, being prin
ter, on the German paper printed by Fl. ] Moth
nagel; and the Mexican war breaking out he
joined the army and fought as a private through
the war it was this that gave him the name OF
Santa Anna" After the war he returned to Can
ton and worked for the late Peter Kaufman on
the DeutSche in Ohio for quite while, until be-
coming crippled with rheumatism he went to the
Infrmary and has there remained through all
these years patient, christian old man, Shortly
after the close of the Mexican war, Vclcralt lost
his pension papers, and after writing to the
proper authorities In vain for reissue, he
walked all the way from Canton to Washington
for the purpose Of obtaining new papers, but
failed to get them and returned home disap.
pointed. Volcraft was man of fine education,
but never learned to talk English to any extent,
For many years past he has walked in to Rev. P.
Herbruck's church every Sunday, rain or shine,
with clocklike punctuality, always stopping at
the Democrat office for his paper after church,
Every one who has visited the Infrmary within
the last dozen years or So could not fail to notice
the old man who, towards the last, grew into the
belief that he was one of the main standbys that
could never be separated from the Infrmary, ex-
cept by death, without causing great loss and
disarrangement Of affairs.
