Every family should have a bottle Of
this Cordial ready for Immediate use. A
single dose of only a 1ew drops in the
early stage Of these diseases will often
check and cure the disorder.
Travellers, who are subject to so many
changes of water and diet, will find this
a valuable article. The Walls are small

During the late war it was given tS
many OF our friends and volunteers in
the army, who were suffering from Diar-
rhea, caused by change OF water, un-
healthy and improperly cooked food,
and in every case it was used with the
best results.
This is no quack nostrum, but the
prescription of regular and successful

CHAMBERLAIN is unquestionably a

Dial position, he has no right to while

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1877-06-21
THE MARLBORO FRAWe

The document we gave last week, pro-
wing that votes were actually changed
stolen, from JOHN MoGREaoR and given
to JoHN r. HAYS, is no ordinary affair
The names appended are those of solid
lifelong Democrats Of that locality, and
are entitled to honest treatment. They
do not belong to the chicken thief class
and egg selling frauds that harbor at
Marlboro, and were the instruments
in perpetrating this fraud
JOHN McGREGoR wants no nomination
obtained in that way; in fact, would
not only scorn to receive, but would
promptly order the delivery to the right
full owner Of the goods so stolen. With
him, the good Of the cause is paramount
to all personal considerations, and fair
dealing is fundamental principle in De-
mocracy The worst enemies an honest
party can have, are those who would use
the organization for their own selfish and
ambitious purposes, through corrupt and
knavish means, Honesty is the best
policy" and honesty is the only rule to
secure permanent Democratic success.
We know that the honest Democrats
of Stark endorse these views. The men
in this county who, through evil and
through good report, have stood firm and
kept aliveth the Democratic cause, demand
what is right, and will not tamely'submit
to fraud and wrong.
