Shall therefore vote for you and hope
that You MAY be elected, as You surely,
in my opinion will be, # there are but
two candidates.

whose Xeal II III excess Of their diScre-

Of securing triumph Of our prin-
ciples may BE lost by the action Of our
Democratic convention. But | hope
not.
III all tie Democrats Of the districts,
or those who may represent the purity
in 4 convention, knew you as we'll as
as do, they would be satisfied that
they could nominate no man, who if
elected rs d Democratic candidate
would more faithfully or more
zealouSly,by his votes or his influence,
strive to carry out Democratic prin
ciples, than you; and it is solely
because they have not that knowledge,
and because ] desire that they may
have in the most authentic form, sat
islactory evidence of your opinion
upon one Of the most important ques-
tons that the members Of the next
Congress will have to vote upon, that
/ have written this letter.
The platform adopted by the con-
yention which put you in nomination
is sufficiently clear and explicit upon
the subject of financial reform and
the substitution of Greenbacks for
National Bank Notes; but the Demo
Gratis Of this district, who almost
unanimously desire revenue reform,
will regret that it had not been more
pronounced on tie subject Of Tariff.
For the satisfaction of that numer-
Gus class of voters, who agree with
me in regarding Tariff Reform as the
the present paramount political issue,
| desire, if you think proper, that you
will inform me-With authority TO
use the information publicly-wheth-
en- you are in favor of such modili-
cation of the Tariff laws, as will give
the greatest possible freedom Of trade,
consistent with securing such an
amount Of revenue (bcsideS that
derived from other sources) as will be
necessary to the economical admins
tration of the Government, and of
leVying all duties OH imports with
view to revenue rather than protec-
ton. am very truly your friend,

Ballot R0x Stuffimg in Massillon.

Opening and canvassing the election
returns OF Stark county took place in
the Clerks office on Thursday of last
week, Clerk John Il. Hays calling to
his assistance Esquire Grimes of Cam
ton, and Esquire Brown of Massillon.
On examining the papers in the en-
yelope from the third ward of Massil-
lon, it was found AIS persons voted,
being so certified in the poll list, and
that number of names there appearing.
The tally sheet, however, showed a
different result, making sos in the ag-
gregate on Secretary of State, and on
most other positions 5O6, and on one
5O7, indicating that 80 votes more were
tailed than were polled.
The vote on Secretary of State was,
Barnes 259, Paige 21O, Roy SO, giving
Barnes 46 over Paige. 1t will be seen
the ward is Republican. No explana-
ton has been attempted, and none, we
presume, is possible. Legally, accord
ing to the papers, ATS votes were polled,
while according to the tally sheet, the
Judges found in the ballot box 5O7
votes, showing stuffing of 80 votes.
The Judges were S. c. Bowman, s.
A. Conrad aud Henry Wetter, gentle
men, it is proper to say, of good busi-
ness standing in MassillOn. The Clerks
were - Rigdon and p. A. Leahy,
also young men of standing. We give
the facts as they are, and they look bad
enough, leaving no doubt of stuffing
and fraud.-[Stark Co. Democrat.

GOVERNOR BISHOP has appointed
James Mackey, OF Youngstown, Y Henry
B. Perkins, OF Warren, and Joseph M.
Hickey, of Steubenville, Commission
ers on the part of Ohio, to meet Com
missioners from Pennsylvania, to set
tie the dispute between the two States,
as to boundary line. There has at no
time been any danger of boundary
war between the two States, nor OF
battles between the border people, but
known, and few citizens living on it
or in close proximity are in state of
uncertainty as to whether they are
Pennamites, Buckeyes or Western
Reservoirs. These gentlemen, COM
posing this commission, will probably
be able to settle the yexed question.

ing spent in family and social greetings. the
crowd dispersed to their several homes, wish

election. When they lighted their
bonfire, polecat that had crept into
the wood-pile was driven from his re-
treat and commenced scattering his
perfume upon the crowd that had
gathered about, imparting an odor
that was extremely nauseating and
doing irreparable damage to much
store clothes. For once the RAIDS of

The health Of the place is generally good, ex-
cept a few cases of dipthcria and scarlet fever
none very serious.
Farmers are now digging potatoes and husk-
ing corn. some making repairs and improve
ments and all are preparing for the coming
winter. Some complaint is made about potatoes
yielding very poorly. and some varieties rottins
very badly. Corn is yielding very we'll; Wheat
looks promising. and larger acreage than usu-
al was sOwn; apples are very plenty, but no
market yet that will pay for taking care of
them. Some talk of putting their apples up to
feed to their stock in the winter.

was in town with horse colt four
months old sired by Belding's Ham,
iltODian from q Tuckyhoe mare of Mr..

Northern Ohio. He is large, of dark
chestnut color, tn silver heels and a
small star in the forehead. We have
never seen colt of finer proportions.
