The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1878-11-14

TIE Democratic party is dead" again
Every once in a while some immaculate
hero comes along, and slays the old De-
mocracy, never to rise again. The mis-
chief is the old thing will not stay killed
When horribly murdered in one place,
It snrinUs into new life in another, and
soon revives all over. A Democratic
Congress in both branches after the 4sh
of March next tells the tale. Two years
hence will be no counting in President
fraud by 8 to7.
We learn from the Repository that Con-
gresham Mckinley returned last week
from New Jersey, (where he had been
stumping,) covered with glory that the
gain of a Republican Congressman in
MARYLAND was owing to him. In fact, 1t
would seem that he could say with the
great Cesar ueni, uidi vici-I came, saw,
| conoueredl We shall have to write to
Fernando Wood, who is also reelected,
to look out for this" giant killer, ,"this"hah-
soonest man in Washington" this man
who convinces laborinR men that high
taxation is best for them; that low or
moderate taxation would ruin them; that
81 duty per ton on pig iron is better
for manufacturers, miners, farmers, &c,
than five dollars ton, as Mr.. Wood pro-
posed. All this must be gratifying TO
those citizens of Canton and vicinity
who voted for this "han'somesS man.
who thus voted for seven dollars tax or
more, rather than less. Our friends who
voted for the Major should take some OF
the glory. The Repository should award
it. They helped to give the mighty man
strength and power to thus go forth con-
ouering and to conquer, sweeping the
Democracy from their moorings wher-
ever he went. 1t is wonderful, the pow
er of "honest money" or "honest" man.
mon, to inspire genius and increase
power. But,
Disappointment turks in many prize,
As bees In flowers, and stngs us with success
The "solid South" comes along, ne.
groes and all, and gives the Democracy a
majority in the House, Notwithstanding
the great work of our "conquering
hero" OF course our gains in members
of Congress in Ohio and Indiana, in
Maine and Iowa help to Counterbalance
the losses in New York, Connecticut,
New Jersey and elsewhere. So that
Congressman Mckinley didn't quite kill
our cock robin. The mighty arrow Of
this little sparrow did not do enough to
prevent the Democrats getting a major
ity in both branches of Congress, the
first time in twenty years The Nc
Kinley Repository may smoke this.
Bunyan's character, Mrs, FaCingboth'
ways, is but too common in our politics.
Cork is good swimmer, floats easily
and bobs about readily, but it is cork
still, without weight. A sort of mud
explosion from rascaldom may frighten
men with chicken bowels; and so, we
suppose, it will be till the crack of doom;
but after all, it only shows the need of
good men and true associating for the
public good. We lose New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut,
and districts in other States for lack of
this union. Concert of action among
those opposed to Hayes-JOhn Sherman
monopoly rule would have lost them
all those States. Forget not this, ye Re-
publican heroes Your rascal rule is
out of its strong box, never, in our day,
to recover it. "Wait; retribution will
come in due time. Justice travels with
a leaden heel, but strikes with an iron
hand. Gods mill grinds slow but dread
fully fine, Wait till the food-gate is
lifted and a full head Of water comes
rushing on. Wait, you will see fine
grinding then"
