A BOAT race was to come off at Chautau
qua last week between Hanlau and
Courtney. Courtney's boat, the evening
before the race, was mysteriously cut
and ruined, 80 that he could not race,
and Hanan went over the five miles
alone in his glory. An exchange says
oft:
The whole affair at Cbautauqua was
fraud and disgrace. In the first place.
there is not sufficient ground for believ.
ing that the management of either the
Hanlan or the Courtney side was even
decently honest, and in the second place
the mob of blackguards, thieves and
plug uglies that were assembled is in and
Of ltsef enough to make every decent
person hope that these great events in
the sporting world" may be as rare as
possible. 1t seems, furthermore, to have
been part of the plan that all respecta-
bic people who we're present, should be
subjected to every unmerciful extortion
and swindle that the ingenuity of per-
SONS skilled in fleeing visitors at public
resorts could devise. Let US hope that
fair Chautauqua will not be 80 disgraCed
and dragged in the mud again.

In conversation with a Republican o.
intelligence, the other day, he admitted
that the resumption of specie payments
as now made, became possible only
through the reconciliation of silver,and
the preservation of the Gree uback as
part of the circulating medium. We re-
minded him of Hsyes's veto of the sil.
yer bill, and its passage through Con-
gress over his veto by thirds vote;
and that the Republican party was com.
mitted to the gold standard-sold, in fact
to the speculating moneyed few as Wen
dell Phillips says, "the cannibals of Wall
street"

Ir is now rumored that the Democ.
racy of Henry county, in the thirty'third
Senatorial district, voted great many
green tickets, thereby defeating their
candidate for Senator in that district, as
the law expressly requires all tickets to
be ON plain white paper, Pity tits, if
true. The Republican majority is large
enough without taking advantage Of
such greenness.
The white paper used had probably
been subjected in the paper mill to
liberal supply Of the chemicals, and
hence the blue tingo, Washer-women
sometimes overdo it in the same way,
and their white articles show the blue.
This, therefore will not likely defeat the
Democratic Senator elected in the Lucas
district.

THE Philadelphia Times says of h

The Philadelphia Times says of the
result in Ohio:
Some of the few who vet read and be.
lieve in party organs may have anticipa'
ted Democratic victory in Ohio yester.
day; but no one who reads newspapers
could have doubted the election OF Fos'
ter. Whether his majority over Ewing
shall be twenty or thirty thousand is not
material. 1t is in no sense a political
revolution. 1t is simply the reConsoli.
dation of the old Republican lines, and
OHIO has exhibited her inherent Repub.
lican strength. Few men have changed
from Democracy to Republicanism. A
few hard money Democrats have cut
Ewing, but the result is solely due to the
successful gathering up of the thousands
of Republican straggers, and inspiring
them to answer roll call at the polls yes

WILLIAM J PERRo,
A DAILY DEMOCRAT.

Mr. L, NJ. Aver and Mr.. Charles Frazer
are about to canvass our city for subscri.
bers to a DAILY Dem )CRAT. Should we
receive the proper encouragement from
our citizens, we shall in due time issue
Daily from this Office, and continue the
same. The Daily will not be commenced
unless we have the assurance of sufi
Cient patronage to continue the same.
The opening of the Valley railway for
regular business, in a short time, and
also the opening of the railway to Car
rolon before great while, are calculat.
ed to make Canton more centre of 10.
cal business importance, and hence to
justify the issuing of the DAILY DEMO.
Graf, Let our citizens consider, and get
ready to endorse and encourage the
project.

DR.. A, M. ARMSTRONG of Doylestown,
Wayne county, is one of the two Demo
Gratis elected to the Legislature from our
neighboring county. We have known
DR.. Armstrong intimately from boyhood,
and take pleasure in endorsing his
staunch Democracy and his sterling
worth. He is gentleman, too, of ex.
tensive reading and possessed of gen.
eral information.

PRINCIPLES are as unchangeable and
eternal as Time. Like Truth, they never
decay or fade, neither do they perish.
Prejudice may obscure for while they
will shine the brighter as we learn to
properly appreciate and value them for
their own worth. So with Democracy {;
it may be defeated and bruised, but not
killed. Unconquerable and undaunted,
it will survive all things, for by it all
things and peoples are blessed.

The Republican party gives no one
any credit for service during the late
war, unless he endorse all their evil pol
icy and highanded rasCalities, and help
to continue them in power, right or
wrong. An honest American might say,
as character says in holy writ when
asked to do wrong els thy servant a
dog, that he should do this thing"

The agitation has commenced for the
retirement of the greenback' currency,
so that all the paper money shall ema-
nate from the National banKs. This
will be the next move Of the National
bank Republicans,-ET.
1t has been the design for years, the
Resumption act being framed in that di-
rection. The Greenback is a legal.ten-
der in payment of individual indebted
ness, but the National bank paper is
not. The Greenback, then, is the better
of the two.

DEMOCRATS in the United States find
reason with each recurring election to
regret that when they elected Presi,
dent they didn't inaugurate him. They
see how useful patronage is, and they
see the patronage they ought to be dis
pensing, used to carry elections against
them in the various States. Presiden.
tial elections are not 80 easily won that
they should be lightly thrown away
when Won.-Enqlttrer.

We say to our Democratic friends, we
have done nobly in Ohio. We contend
ed with the moneyed power in all its nu'
merous forms of monopoly, The privi'
legged class in this country were alarmed
at the movement of the people in Ohio,
demanding justice and equality of rights
before the law. This defeat is not
crushing. 1t tshould nerve us to greater
efforts aud more determined work.

THE Republican leaders, we learn.
promised the miners better times and
higher wages; and now that election is
over, they want these better times and
that advance in wages. The pay should

will look like an eleCtioneering trick.

Damage suit.

In Justice Kings Court, yesterday
afternoon, the proprietors of the Akin
House brought suit for damages
against the Aiken Company to the
amount o! $25. They claimed that the
advance agent OF the Company had
made a contract with them for the
combination to stop at their house
while in the city. Messrs. Aiken &
Mortimer held that their agent had no
authority 10 make such contract, mas
much as the members of the troupe
went where they pleased and paid their
own board. The decision was given
i'm favor of the defendants.
