The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-04-03
THE TWO TICKETS,
Democratic or Republican.


by the two political parties. Many Ne
publicans are by no means pleased win
some of their nominations, while the
same ia true to some extent among DEM
ocrats. A good portion of any political
party at nomination do not get their
6rst choice, and some may be much dis
pleased at the result. With such, voting
then may become choice of evils, and
If party attachment is feeble, they may
think seriously of not voting at all, or
voting for the opposite man.
We have seen melancholy instances Of
Che feebleness of party attachment, or
rather, feeble attachment to principle.
Probably the most ridiculous exhibition
of the kind was the vote given to Con-
gresham Mckinley last fall.
The contention at present is over the
Mayor and the contest is between w. j
Piero, Democrat, and Mr.. ValleIey, Re-
publican. No candid man who knows
both candidates, will claim for Mr. Val
leley superiority Of qualification over
Mr., Pisro. So far as experience and ia
miiarity with law is concerned, Mr.
Piero is ahead. He served three years
as Justice of the Peace, and has been a
practitioner at the Bar For several years,
No one has any reason to doubt that as
Mayor, Mr.. Piero would enforce the
laws. What excuse, then, can any DEM
oCrat have to decline to vote for W. j.
Piero2 Is Mr.. Valleley so far superior? ?
Who can or will claim it?
Our candidate for City Solicitor, JOHN
G. WEITY EsQ'R, has served in that ca
pacity for two years, in manner highly
satisfactory. He is competent as law
yer, and gives attention to business, All
parties are satisfied with Mr. Welty, and
we doubt not he will receive large vote
and be triumphantly elected for his sec.
ond term.
Louis RIGLER, our nominee for Mar
shal, has been a moulder in the Aultman
shop since bOyhood. twenty years or so,
He was born here, and has always lived
in Canton. Mr., Rigler has always been
a good citizen, and as marshal will at
tend to his duties faithfully. No one
doubts his election by large majority,
JACOB PLUNEARD is candidate for re.
election as Street Commissioner jacob
is worthy man, and entitled to large
vote, which he will be sure to get, We
count his majority by hundreds,
Our candidates for City Council are;
13t ward B. F. R5hrer, for re election,
we'll known citizen, having
lived here all his life; 2i ward,
John NJ. Snyder. an old and wor
thy citizsn; 81 ward, Henry T, Warner,
suitable and worthy man; 4,h ward,
George W. Raft Tor long term, and A.!O.
Sientz for short term. We need not
speak of ex Judge Riffs qualifications,
as he is well known to all our citizyns;
and though Mr.. Slentz is NOT 50 well
known, he is well qualified Mr.
Slentz is foreman in the Russell works.
For Assessors we have Dallas White,
joseph Devile and John Mack, in the
lst, 3iand h wards respectively. These
are good Sc ections.
THE TOWNSHIP TICKET.
EDWARD NJ. GRIMES EsQ'R, is renomin-
ated for Justice and most worthily. He
has served honorably for two terms in
chat capacity, and will be reelected
handsomely, we have no doubt.
For Trustees F. 1, PIERo and JOSEPH
DAvILLA we're renominated, and ANTHo-
NY NJ. WALTER is new man. Mr.. Wal.
ter is Canton man, born and brought
up. The affairs of the township will be
safe in the hands of the three gentlemen
named.
JONATHAN HUDSON EsQ'R, wag nomina'
ted for Township Clerk, and he is well
qualified to discharge the duties thereof,
LOUIS DUMoNT, our we'll known
grocer, is the candidate for Township
Treasurer, and we bespeak for him a
rousing vote and satisfactory majority.
He will get them.
DAVID SMITH is the candidate for
Township Assessor, and all know him to
be competent and worthy.
ELI WAGNER, JOHN B. ADAMS and ADAM
GOODMAN are the candidates for Consta-
bles Having served in that capacity
before, we need scarcely say they are
competent, and will, as heretofore, at
tend to the business.
For Board of Education our ticket is
non partisan, being composed Of G. A.
S }hraishuhn, Democrat, and g. w. Law
renee, Republican, who has served on
the Board acCeptably. Mr.. Sohraishuhn
will make a faithful and active member,
and labor to continue the schools in we'll |
doing.
This brief sketch of our ticket may
convince and satisfy our readers that it
is good one, and fully entitled to the
cordial support of all good Democrats.
We are confident it will compare favora.
bly, with the Republican ticket in all re-
speCts.
