Hugo Pryor had one vote in Massillon
for Lettenant Governor.
Altekrnse run in Perry, where he
lives, as If the White House saloon had
never existed.
We don't like that sme,l Of Harts'
horn.
Lexington township is just as mean
and crazy as ever.
There was a good deal of voting on
Tuesday,
Let Tom Saxton bear his soul in pa
tience.
Perry township, including Massillon,
polled 795 for Secretary of State in 1878,
and ON Tuesday cast 2091, being gain
of 296.
Three precincts in Lawrence township
ought to be enough.
The "Confedrit Brigadiers" helped
Charley Foster.
Tuesday turned out,-well, rather an
unplea day,-in some respects.
"Good morning, Sheriff Altekruse. -
Mass american.
The Massillon american need not be
in such a hurry to tell US that Senator
Thurman's term expires in 1881.
Gillespie ought to come over and can
sole Tom, and talk over the White House
saloon.
It is after election, and everybody
should settle down to regular business,
and let bygones be bygones.
1t is said Snyder won that last game of
billiards.
Guests certificate did not save him,
bnt Snyder's did better.
Sherman, "the great National fnan'
cier," came to Ohio, took in Stark county
and Stark county took, little.
Tom ought to be satisfied. He has the
postofice. -
Is Grant ahead in Ohio? Ask General
John Beatty, not Sam.
The colored troops fought nObly and

JOHN c. WELTY DEFEATED FOR
. PROSECUTOR BY A LIE STARTED
ON ELECTION DAY.


JOHN c. WELTY DEFEATED FOF
PROSECUTOR BY A LIE STARTED
ON ELECTION DAY.
John G. Welty Esq, our worthy can.
didate for Prosecuting Attorney, was
personally popular over the county, and
his chance for election was equal to the
best and but for mean lie started on
election day, and industriously circulat-
ed over the city, and heralded over the
county by some sleek and pious smooth
faced knaves, Mr.. Welty would have
been nicely elected over his opponent,
Mr.. Henry W. Harter.
At the fourth ward poll in Canton,
about 10 o'clock a. M, young man ma.
med Roth, crippled in the back, came to
the polls to vote, and was handed an
open Democratic ticket by an active
Young Democrat named Joseph Kline.
Roth took the ticket and voted it. Short
ly after, some one told him he had voted
a Democratic ticket, and was asked who
gave it to him. He did not know his
name, but described him as young man
with moustache. A Republican list.
ener said-"that is Welty."
From this the Republican Clackers
started. improving the false tale as they
went along, making out Mr.. Welty a very
dishonorable and bad man, in deceiving
an innocent Republican who could not
read, by doubling down the head of the
Democratic ticketin order to deceive.
Among those who circulated the lie
was George D. Harter, brother Of Mr.
Welty's opponent! W. K. Miller, super
intendent of the Russell works, who
claims to be "a prominent Republican
politician" (possibly wise in his own
mighty conceit), hastened to the Pike
towship polls, and there busily told the
lie, with improvements
About ! o'clock on election day the
tale reached Mr.. Welty's ears, and he at
once FASTENED to arrest the lie. On con.
fronting young Roth at the fourth ward
polls, he stated at once that Mr.. Welty
was not the man who gave him the ticket
he voted-that he did not know Mr.
Welty, and he soon picked out young
Cline as the man who gave him the
ticket.
This base piece of business cost Mr.
Welty votes in Canton, Pike township
and other places, more than enough to
have elected him, for with all this, Henry
W. Harter only gets some sixty major
ity in the county. The Rep in fact cd.
mits this in it's issue Of yesterday, as fol-
lows:
"That one vote John Welty overrun
in the 4th ward yesterday does not seem
to do him much good. Brother Welty
lost a great many votes by that little
trick" e
True, "brother Welty lost a great many
votes by that little trick" of Geo. D. Har-
ter, VIM. K. Miller IA cousin Of Con-
gresham Mckinley, and other relatives
and friends. These men, one and all,
approve Presidential fraud, and no one
need wonder at their engaging in such
little frauds as this.

The Rep Of Tuesday had a card of
Mr.. John Laird in reply to John Whit.
mer's card that appeared in our supple.
ment. We do not see any discrepancy
in the material facts, and cheerfully
credit Mr.. Laird with his claim that he
never interfered with the men in his
employ freely voting their sentiments.
It is the right of all American citizens,
and he is not good American who does
not accord it. Charity in all things
should be the rule of conduct in dealing
with others, for it is what we all need.
This reference is only to do justice to
Mr.. Laird, and not to continue a contro'
versy-after election.

Ex.sENAToR POOLE, Of North Carolina,
a strong Republican, will, it is reported,
Issue in a short time an open letter to
the Republicans Of the South embOdying
the sentiments expressed by him at tho
recent meeting Of Southern represent
atives in Washington city, and urging all
representatives in the South to vote
against any candidate for the Presidency
nominated on the idea of solid North.
Mr.. Poole justly takes the view that If
solid South is to be condemned then a
solid North cannot be defended.

A NEw YoRK policeman has got his
punishment at last. He arrested gen.
tleman named Mcintyre escorting lady
home late at night in the streets Of that
city, for the SERIOUS ofEense of asking the
"cop's" number, he having stopped the
couple, rudely pushed them apart, and
told the lady she had better go home.
This treatment, and night in durance
vile, determined Mcintyre to bring an
action against the policeman for DANA
ges, and be has just recovered ajudg-
ment for $500. This righteous verdict
is likely to have healthy effect wher.
ever it becomes known among the blue
coats. Send it on.

ALTHOUGH the people are paying for
an army of $4,000 men, Gen. Sherman,
when called upon for few hundred to

attempts to divert attention from his

stead of attending to his duty in Wash
ington, by whining about Congress not
increasing the army.

TIE ELECTION IN STARK
RI licAN, BUT NOT AS BAD
9fgf AS LAST YEAR.

Foster 11O Majority over Ewing-The Democratic
sheriff Elected by 600 and Probably
the Treasurer, Commissioner and
Surveyor by Close Votes.
The election in Stark county on Tues
day was hotly contested and very large
vote was polled. At this writing we
cannot give official figures, as the re-
turns are not counted.
Sufficient is known to set down Fos-
ter's maj ajority in the county at ITO. The
Republican candidates for Senator and
Representatives also get majority Of
about the same, except Mr.. Conrad
who run ahead in Massillon and may
have 300 majority.
Of the county officers, we have un'
doubtedly elected Altekruse Sheriff over
Laiblin by 200 or more. Treasurer Sui
livan beats Dangler 20 votes, which the
official count may vary one way or the
other.
Shetlar, for Commissioner, beats Guest
about so, and Holl, for Surveyor, leads
Unger hundred or more.
The Republicans have elected Harter
Prosecutor, over Welty by about so
Barnaby, Recorder, over Manly by 100
Schilling, Coroner, over Card by 100 Ol
more, and Barber, Infrmary Director
over Mccall by about 50 majority.
1t will be seen then, that we have
gained over last year, when the average
Republican majority was about 500 In
the county. The Democrats Of STARK
made gallant and noble fight, every
township doing we'll, and several more
than we'll, gaining largely over last year
Every Democrat in Stark county may
feel encouraged rather than discouraged
TIE OFFICIAL VOTE.
We stop the press to state that the Of
fetal count, made last night (Thursday)
gives Altekruse 27O majority over Laib
lin, Sullivan IS over Dangler, and eleCti
the balance of the Republican candi
dates Guest, Commissioner, over Shet
lar IS, Unger over Holl for Surveyor 70
Foster l1O majority over Ewing, and the
other candidates run about the same ex-
cept Conrad for Legislature, who has a
majority of over 300. The whole vote
polled in the county was over $4,000, the
largest vote ever given.

IT is after election, and, with others of
our fellow citizens, neighbor Tom, for

FIFTY people were killed or wounded
Thursday night on one Of the best rail-
ways in the United States. When the
rules of such railway as the Michigan
Central are lax enough to permit an en-
ploye to take an engine upon the main
tracK, on the chance of escaping collis-
ion with a train supposed to be forty
minutes late, radical reform in railway
regulations is imperatiyely required.
