OUR TICKET.

The names of the gentlemen nomina-
ted by the Democracy Of Stark county on
Saturday last, for the positions to be till-
ed at the October election, will be found
at the head of our editorial column. The
State ticket, as we'll as our county ticket
this fall, are comparatively light as to
the number and Importance of the posi-
tions to be filled. The election of q
member Of Congress, however, this fall
adds to the Importance of the election
as it will add doubtless to the interest
and activity.
Mr.. Cole, nominated for Probate Judge
is lawyer at Massillon, who, by his &C
tivity and energy, has commanded the
attention and respect of his fellow citi
zens. Mr.. Cole is well qualified for the
position, and, when elected and install
ed, will prove himself competent and
attentive Probate Judge.
DAVID BYERs, our nominee for Com
missioner, is a substantial farmer o.
Washington township, and an active ant
thorough business man. When elected
and in position, Mr.. Byers will prove
himself suitable man for the place,
JACOB H. BAIR, our candidate for In
irmary Director, has been filling tina
position for years quite acceptably, anC
his experience well qualities him to per
form the duties better, if possible, in the
future.

IT IS possible that the Republican par.
ty may put Hayes on the track a second
time. The world will then know wheth-
er the will of the people was carried out
at the last Presidential election. Ia that
case let us have Tilden and Hayes over
again. The Cincinnati Commercial says
We do not nominate President Hayes
for re election. We have to say, how
ever that movement for his renomi.
nation may prove to be the most fit and
conclusive answer to the third term"
folly which is making its appearance
among the sore heads and the remains
of the rings, especially Of the whisky
rings.
The Grant scheme is preposterous,a and
it is urged by few persons in the habit
of making an INSCRIPTIONS use of mon
ey, and by the gang disappointed in
Hayes, as the only alternative that the
country will have when the Communists
rise and the red speCter stalks through
the land. We have to say that this
country does not stand in need of mill
tary government, and that if it did, Re-
publicanism might be stamped out with
more decency than by the replacement
of Grant in the Office that he has always
affected to despise and never honored.

THERE is a falling off Of more than Sl0,-
0G0 900 in the revenue. This is what
Democratic reform is doing for the Gov.
ernment. Meantime, there are serious
inConyeniences and distractions to bust
ness in various departments of the Gov
ernment, growing ont Of niggardly ap-
preparations. Repository.
So, the Democrats cut down the taxes
to that extent, thus tightening the bur.
dens OF the people. And is this not re-.
form2 No doubt it is quite "serious
inconvenience" to some Republican off
cials to have dealt out to them "niggard
ly appropriations" But "niggardly ap.
propriations" mean retrenChment and
reform and relief to the people from the
heavy burdens of taxation, Falling of
in revenue means collecting less taxes
that is all.

HAYES NOT 1AnaE ENoUan.

The one distracting, overwhelming
fact is that he has taken an office and
responsibilities that he is not equal to.
He isn't worth fighting for His feeble
ness constantly overthTows his adherents.
1t isn't what Hayes says that we hnd
fault with, or what he has done, but
what he is. We would stanchly support
him, and fight for what he says and a
large part OF what he has done, had he
the force to give the fiber Of strength to
either one or the other. If a platform
wants to arraign Hayes we don't see
what il could justly say, save that Hayes
isn't a strong enough man to be Presi.
dent, and his party ought not to have
chosen him. Not to say that is not to
say the whole ground oftrouble between
Hayes and the Republican party. And
if il is not worth while to say that in a
platform then it seems not worth while
to say any thing about Hayes at all but
to make sound and ringing enuncia-
ton of Republican principles and let the
Administration alone as an unconsid-
cred triAe." But it might be well to de~
clare, as a cardinal principle of Repub>
licanism, that If hereafter any body pros
poses as a Republican candidate tor the
Presidency any weak dark horse, or any
other than one Of the party's very greats
est men, he shall be deemed an enemy
Of the party and the nation.-Ke0kHk

THE Columbus Dispatch, independent
Republican, seems to be not particularly
taken with the Republican platform
made few days ago at Cincinnati, in
their State convention, In its issue of a
few days ago that paper says:
When the convention, therefore, in
serts plank in the platform which af.
firms that we recognize in President
Hayes administration the highest integ-
rity and patriotism, the most sincere eff.
tort to promote political purity and har-
nonv" it is hard to see how the anti
Hayes men of the State can swallow it.
In view of the developments just now
being made by the Potter investigation
committee as to the purity of such repre-.
sentatives of the administration as Sena-
tor Matthews, and others, and in view of
the known disaffection existing in the
party in this State on the policy of the
president" in the South and the civil
service reform humbug, it is astonishing
how any set of politicians could expect
to inspire respect or receive support on
such ridiGuously inconsistent deClara-
ton. The Dispatch not being ian organ"
it may have been imDertinence on our
part to intrude our advice upon the Re-
publicans, but in the kindness of our
heart we felt that the very respectable
portion of the party who are known as
the anti. Hayes men should not be fed
on "crow," and 30 have labored some.
what to prevent the convention from
forcing such diet upon them. AS the
convention has thought otherwise, and
has taken the responsibility of virtually
discardlng the "stalwarts," it only now
remains to be seen how many viii. be
found next fall who can contentedly
swallow their food. We must Confess,at
present the outlook is not brilliant for
ihe success of the ticket nominated at
Cincinnati, as it was only by thorough
concentration of all their forces that the
Republicans could expect to conquer.

JOHN SHERMAN's game, in his letter de-
manding chance to prove that thous'
ands of Republicans were slaughtered in
the Felicians parishes, does not take
with his own party. 1t looks too much
like trying to dodge the main question
The N. Y. Nation takes that view, and
tells Mr.. Sherman:
What the public and the committee
want to know of Mr.. Sherman now is
whether he really wrote or did not write
that Anderson letter, Of which a copy
was shown him, and what he was doing
down in Louisiana during the count, and
whether he encouraged anybody to
stand firm" in unlawful conduct. 1t is
Co these things he should direct his at.
tention, and on these things he should
be frank, bluff and categorical, and lib
eral with his witnesses.

OREGON comes out right after all. The
Democrats have elected their Governor,
have the Legislature and United States
Senator and tie member Of Congress.
This dispatch tells the story:
Portland, Oregon, June 16, 1S7S.-The
returns are all in, and the official count
elects Thayer, Dem, for Governor, by a
handsome majority. Brown, DEM, for
State Treasurer, and Woltner, DEM, for
State Printer, are defeated by small ma
jorities. Both houses of the Legislature
are reliably Democratic. On joint bal,
lot the vote stands 81 Democrats, SO
Republicans and Independents, giving
the Democrats 12 majority over both the
other parties. Whitaker, Dem, for
Congress, wins by over 500 majority.

THE departments at Washington are
flooded with circular letter from the
Republican Congressional Committee,
levying an assessment on all Of the off
cials for campaign purposes. 1t is called
a voluntary subscription, but that was
term used under tho Grant administra-
ton. AS these are personally addressed
through the mail, every clerk fears the
result of a failure to contribute, The
amount solicited is one per cent, and the
demand is made on all the officials, from
the scrub women, who get $40 a month,
to the Secretary who gets $4,000 year.
The "stalwarts" are running the civil
service end of the machine and. Hayes
has probably made another bargain.

A DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY ABOUT
PLATFORMS.

Some of the Ohio Hayes organs, for>
getting the Committee on Resolutions
wrestled FIVE hours over the platform,
and that five votes were cast against it
in the Committee, are expressing regret
that there was not a more decisive in>
dorsement of the Administration, They
say that the sentiment of the Convention
was far in advance of the resolutions.
Any one who is at all familiar with large
bodies of this kind knows that at the
closing hours land this is generally the
time in which resolutions are present9dl
almost any measure presented by the
Committee on Resolutions will go
through. We are even disposed to go
further than the Hayes organs, and will
say that if Richard Smith, on behalf of
the Committee, had at that time read a
resolution indorsing Stanley Matthews
as the embodiment of honesty, purity
and discretion it would have gone
through with as much unanimity as the
rest of the remarkable platform,-Co-

used also for John. This does look like
