bribery and theft to get possession of the
Democratic principles, will not hesitate
to raid the Democratic chicken coop and
steal the very roosters that crowed for
Tilden and the peoples choice last fall.
That large clumsy bloody throated roos-
ter that haunted in the eyes Of decent
peopleEal last fall, and which squawked
hSoiid South" Confederate Rebels"
"Southern Claims" mo rebels in the
Cabinet for u.s." &C., has been choked to
death and none but Democratic roosters
are in demand now. The people have so
expressed, and the politicians who were
in the wrong boat are now trying to steal
the Democratic ship. Therefore let me
say to the DEMOCRAT Office, lock up and
guard we'll your chicken coop as the
thieves and hungry office holders are
drawing nigh and nothing but Democrat
ic roosters will save them.
Let no honest man be deceived by the
party in power.
THE king of wild beasts you never can tame,
And the spots Of the Leopard remain just the
same"
That party preached a policy they now
admit was wrong, and now adopt the
Democratic argument which they ther
denounced. Our political opponents ad
nit that the Democratic creed is the righ'
one, that States are States, not conquered
provinces. They have thrown up th'
sponge" and though they still hang OF
to the spoils of office they admit the cor
rectness of Democratic principles.

"FoR forms OF government let fools contest
That which is best administered is best"

Undoubtedly good form of govern
ment badly and corruptly administered
will become q serious evil. In managing
public affairs, useful is that useful does.
The best form or system of government
may be made 30 oppressive as to become
an unmitigated evil. The great men who
established our government designed
thereby to establish justice, secure do
mestic tranquility, provide for the com
mon defence, promote the general well
fare" &c. Our government administered
in its true spirit will do all this. Our ru-
lers oflate, in their policy, have resemb-
led much King George III and the Brit
ish Parliament prior to the revolution.
Edmund Burke scorned the claim that
England had a right to tax America. He
said: "sc has a man right to shear a
wolf This point is the great Ser
bonian bog betwixt Damiata ard Mount
Casius old, where armies whole have
sunk, do not intend to be oyerwhelm-
ed in that bog, though in such respecta-
BILE company. The question is not,
whether you have right to render your
people miserable, but whether it is not
your interest to make them happy"
This is the real question as to result.
A government run in the interest of IA
vored classes, to the disregard of Gus
tice," brings misery instead of happiness
to its people-just such results as the
American people are to-day suffering un-
der radical rule. The worst of it is the
Hayes Administration promises no
change of public policy. 1t is the same
rut and the corruptionist leaders propose
no change-no return to honest Consti-
tutional rule.

BRADEN and Webb cannot masquerade
in borrowed garments. They are radi-
calls, both, having no sympathy with Dem
ocrats nor Liberals. Indeed, Mr.. Webb
would suffer his "right arm to be cut of
rather than vote for Democrat or rebel
sympathizer."
John Shimp is our candidate for Mayor
and Louis Rigler for Marshal, both good
and worthy citizens, fairly entitled to ev-
cry Democratic and Liberal vote. These
gentlemen are at least as capable in every
respect as the radical Hayes candidates,
and were nominated without contest.
Let our friends give them and the entire
ticket full and hearty support. This
is no time to hesitate when the party OF
fraud is seated in power, and determined
still further to ruin the country with their
evil policy. Let not one of our noble
friends falter at this iunctule.

OUR Republican friends hereabouts
are delighted with Hayes. We will say
they would like it better if he were Pres
ident,' not by fraud. But Hayes's lnau-
gural pleased them. "Isn't he the man?
Now, will not you Democrats say so ?
Such were the questions and talk uttered
to bolster up the President without an
honest title.
Now, let us refresh the memory. Did
not Grant in his Inaugurals make the
same promises? Did not Grant pledge
himself to reform, get Commission ap-
pointed and all that? Was not he also
to pacify the South ? All this goes to
show that talk is cheap, but money only
can buy whisky. We shall know more
of Mr., Hayes within four years, proba-
blV.

THE Democrat ought to know that we
don't elect Presidents by the popular vote
in this country. Buchanan was defeated
by the popular vote. So was Adams, 80
was Lincoln. When we come to States
t,Uenty.one voted for Hayes and seventeen
voted for Tilden. In all the free north
Tilden only carried four, and there is no
doubt he carried them by fraud and cor
ruption.-RepoSitory.
True, "ove don't elect Presidents by the
popular VOTE" but by Returning Boards,
composed of perjured radical thieves and
Commission made up of their abettors.
Mr.. Buchanan was not defeated by the
popular vote, but had a large majority
over Fremont, his competitor.
Tilden carried toUenty States, while
Hayes had eighteen; but conceding
HAYES South Carolina, each had nineteen.
Pennsylvania and Ohio were saved to
Hayes by the Negro vote; and the four
northern States that were carried tor
Tilden contain about one fourth OF the
entire population of the country. The
Cameron gang in Pennsylvania have fol
years ruled by fraud and corruption
They prefer it. California, too, was car
ried for Hayes by frauds in San Fran
cisco. Tilden's majority on the popular
vote was 1000, and he had a clear ma
iority of the electoral vote. Hayes then
occupies the White House by fraud
shameless, villainous fraud, and every
man ofintelligence knowsit. Some, like
the Repository, will not acknowledge it
but that changes not the fact.
Fraud is branded indelibly upon the
forefront of this Republican party, anc
corruption is the natural ally of fraud
Such is history, and we are but repeating

DEMOCRATIC CITY AND TOWN
SHIP TICKET.

Next Monday is the day of our spring
election, and on Saturday last the De-
mocracy of Canton city and township
nominated a ticket to be supported, made
up of good citizens, worthy and compe-
tent for their respective positions.
Over thousand votes were polled,
showing considerable interest. The warm
contest was on Street Commissioner, for
which there were eight candidates. In
the third and fourth wards also the Coun-
cilship and assessorship were we'll con-
tested.
For Mayor, Solicitor and Marshal
there was no contest, Mr., JOHN SHlMP
having clear field for Mayor JOHN c.
WELTY, Esq, for City. Solicitor, and
LOUIS RIGLER for City Marshal.
These gentlemen are worthy the cordial
support of our citizens, and we doubt not
the result next Monday will show them
acceptable. We hope to guard against
fraudulent Returning Boards in this case.
JACOB PLUNKARD carried off the
honors for Street Commissioner. The
duties of the office Jacob ought to under
stand, for he has been laborer on the
streets for years. We are confident our
citizens will honor Mr.. Plunkard with a
rousing majority. He is deserving.
PAUL FIELD is the candidate for re-
election as Water Works Trustee. Paul
has served three years and is posted,
giving the duties careful attention and
consideration.
Our candidates for Council in the first,
third and fourth wards are respectively
FRANK ROHRER, PETER BARLET
and P ]. SCHWALM, gentlemen who are
worthy of all confidence. Mr.. Barlet
has been President of the City Council
for the past year.
The Assessors nominated are LOUIS
LOICHET, first ward COLLINS Nc
| GREGOR, third ward JOHN B. TAY'
LOR, fourth ward, each, we know, will,
if elected, faithfully discharge the re-
sponsible duties of assessor.
Our city ticket is made up of good
men and true, citizens worthy of conf
dence. Let our friends rally to the work
next Monday, and lay out the Hayes
Returning Board ticket
TOWNSHIP TICKET.
PETER CHANCE. ESQ., receivedth the
nomination for Justice of the Peace
This is a most worthy and suitable nom

Our candidates for Trustees are the ca
pable gentlemen who have so faithfully
discharged the duties during the pas
year. They are FREDERICK WEI
LANDT, DAVID SMITH and LAW
RENEE BECHEL. Let our farmer

and help our city Democrats to re'elec
Messrs. Bechel, Smith and Wielandt
LOUIS DUMONT for township Treas
urer; EDWARD M. GRIMES for Clerk
and DAVID BEACHTEL for Assessor

zens nor more worthy Democrats coul(
have been nominated.
ELI WAGNER, JOHN B. ADAMS
and ADAM GOODMAN are our nomi
nees for Constables. These gentlemen
are we'll known as entitled to full regarC
and all honor in this direction,
Above are our city and township tick

THE county of ofAllegheny, in this State,
gave Hayes 9,49l majority, while the
Whole State of Ohio gave him but 1915
majority. Yet one would think, to hear
these Ohioans talk, that Hayes owes his
election solely to them, and that they
should get all the Offices he has to spare.
Pitts. Commercial Gazette, 17th.
The Cameron organs are jealous OF
Ohio. Ohioans think they can run the
machine and are tryingi on. Some are
apprehensive the Hayesy weather will
land the ship among the breakers.

THE country was promised wave of
prosperity as soon as Hayes was inaug-
urated; but the wave seems to be one
of bankruptcy, bringing greater distress
upon the people. 1t is only return to
Justice and the Constitution that we can
hope for prosperity. Assuredly, fraud
and continued wrong-doing are not the
ways of pleasantness and peace, that
bring prosperity.

A Monster California Lion.
THollister Call Enterprise.l


A huge male California lion has been
depredating on ranches in the vicinity of
Birds reekf for several months, and many
a sheep, calf and pig have fallen victims
to his voracious appetite. He had been
frequently seen but always eluded cap
ture. He is the same one that Mr.. Sally
came suddenly upon a few days ago on
his ranch. This gentleman had lost as
many as fifty hogs lately by the depre-
dations of the beast, and offered a reward
for his capture or destruction. He and
others who have stock in that region
will be glad to learn that the lions days
have been brought to an abrupt termin-
alton. Ike Lewis was aroused from his
slumbers about three o'clock a few
mornings since by the loud squeals of a
pig in trouble. Fastening to the scene,
he discovered one of his shoats in the
jaws of a lion, and alarmed by the dogs
the animal dropped the shoat ndtook to
a tree. Lewis gave him a dose or two
of buckshot, which seemed to have no
other effect than to make the beast twist
and scratch a little. He then stood
guard over his lionship till daylight,
when he sent for a rifle and perforated
the beasts heart the first fire. On re-
ceiving the shot the lion leaped into the
air and came down a corpse. The body
was brought to town, and crowds gath
cred around to view it. He was indeed
a monster, measuring eight feet from the
tip of the nose to the end of the tail,
standing four feet high and weighing
about two hundred and twenty pounds.

MObs.
[Chicago Inter ocean,

There is a considerable difference be-
tween the action ofimobs in different
nations. The English mob is %sullen,
sometimes noisy, but seldom blood
thirsty. When it reaches the pitch of
demonstrative lawlessness it generally
contents itself with smashing windows,
breaking open provision stores, pitching
loaves of bread into the air and catching
them on the ends of bayonets Or pitch
forks. Murders HAYES been committed
during strikes in England, but the evils
of poverty and starvation have been
principally felt by the strikers them
selves through the remorseless tyranny
of their unions and societies. When we
cross the channel we meet a very differ
ent state of affairs. The annals of Paris
are red with blood. To sound the first
note of revolution or mob-law in Paris is
to bid adieu to peace OF safety until the
mad passion of an excitable people have
spent themselves in death. When a
Partisan mob has once tasted blood, its
thirst is that of the panther. Let the
reader interested in the civic passion
take up Lamartine's "Girondists," and
turH W tHe IlelSu u 1eIIOI III ais
He will there confont a picture the
most terrible in the history of c%iviliza-
ton. 1t was a frenzied city, and life
hung by a thread. Blood flowed into
the Seine like water. Day after day
the fatal car paraded the streets on its
way to the Place de la Concorde. The
men were drunk with human blood,
the women fendish as the tabled furies.
1t has been our boast in the United
States that whatever political causes may
have led to civil wal our citizens
obeyed the laws; no standing army
was needed as in England to garrison our
cities. Such minor riots as have taken
place in New York and other cities have
seldom lasted more than a couple ofdays.
That this terrible disease has broken out
in midst to-day is a matter deeply
to be deplored.
The question is, shall this be the be,
ginning of innumerable scenes of a sim
liar character, or shall it be the last Wis
itation of such a kind that this great
nation will permit to scourge it?

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Apple. Omelet.-Pare, core and stew
six large tart apples. Beat them very
smooth while hot, adding one spoonful
of butter, six of sugar, and a little nut
meg. When perfectly cold add three
eggs, yolks and whites beaten light sep
arately. Pour this into a hot, deep,
buttered baking dish, and bake till of a
delicate brown.
Eggs Cooked in italian Style
Moisten two ~spoonfuls of -four with four
ouncesof butter, in a sauce pan, stirring
constantly. When of the consistency Of
thick butter, thin with a little boiling
milk and season with pepper and salt.
Add three ounces more of butter and a
little chopped parsley, worked well to-
gether. Have ready eight hard boiled
eggs, sliced, and add them to the sauce
and serve hot.
SOused Mackerel.-Take fresh mack
erel, well cleaned, and boil them for a
few minutes, or until tender, in sailed
water. Take off the water in which
they were boiled, half as much as will
cover them; add the same quantity OF
good cider vinegar, some whole pepper,
cloves, and a blade or two of mace. Let
it come to a boil and pour over the
mackerel. Shad prepared in the same
manner, is very nice.
