The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-09-25

The St. Louis Post. Dispatch Of the 18th
publishes full account of the bonds re-
pudiated in the States of Kansas and II.
linois. 1t seems Kansas has repudiated
s. 547 900, and that sixteen different
counties and city refuse to pay the in
terest on their debt, which aggregates
the sum of So $4,000. Seventeen coun-
ties and five cities and towns of Illinois
have refused, and still refuse, to pay the
interest on their debt, amounting to So
$4,000. 1t is we'll to give prominence
to their cases, because the Republican
press is abusing certain Southern States
for defaulting on some Of their securi-
ties. The Republican papers never ex-
plain that the sum of the defalcations is
about equal to the amounts stolen from
those States during the ,Republico- Re-
construction period. For instance, the
debts of the ten Southern States just be-
fore the war amounted in round num-
bers to $76,OOOOOO. The Republican
party through it's infamous carpet bag
system, raised the aggregate to $29l 900.
OOO-an increase of $3.50 This side
of the question don't look quite 80 nice
for the Republican party. II they had
their own way, the sailing would be
smoother.

FREE speech and free elections are

FREE speech and free elections are es-
sential principles of the Democratic par
ty. All citizens, too, should be equal be-.
fore the law. Hence we condemn the
Republican party plan in Rhode Island,
in requiring property qualification for
adopted citizens, and not for native born
and negroes. We do not know Repub.
lican journal nor Republican speaker
that condemns this Republican arrange
ment. Indeed, neither the Alliance Re.
UietD, nor the Repository, nor the Massillon
Independent had a word 10 say in con-
demnation of the treatment of Miss Neal
at Minerva, in this county. When the
lady, in her first lecture on temperance
was adver.ing to the Democracy, the
Republicans applauded but when she
alluded to Charles Fosters sidebcsrd at
Cincinnati, and to She Republican party,
Kisses were showered, snd she was de-
prived of the hall on the next evening.
The gallant woman was not to be sup.
pressed thus, and held forth on the
street, and spoke freely, much to the dis
gust of the enemies Of free speech in
Minerva.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer and the Stark
County Democrat carp at Charles Foster
because he was not in the war; and say
the people should elect Ewing and Rice,
because of their military services. In
1852 the Enquirer declared: "There is
not Democrat in the land but will op'
pose this war With all his influence"
And the Stark County Democrat declar.
ed that deceased soldiers we're not "mar-
tyrs," but "victims of bloodshed abOli-
tion tyranny."-Repository.
Will the Rep, tyros give us day and
date where the Stark County DEMOCRAT
used these expressions2 Will they also
give the date where the Enquirer used
the expression above2 1t is best to be
particular in such matters. Some slip
shod scribblers are not above EARNING,
as the Pittsburgh Critic showed few
weeks ago. Being friend Of truth and
an enemy to falsehood; abhorring the
father of lies and all his numerous pro.
geny, we trust the RIP fellow will meet
the questions above. Let there be no
dodging.

We assure the ReDOSitory and its scrib'
blers, that the Democratic party Of Stark
county is not run by ring, nor in the
interest of set of lords. Whether "a
delegate" or a candidate writes their
mean attacks on Mr.. Dunbar and others,
it matters not, for he is not an honorable
man. If he had the proper manhood,
and believed what he says, he would
sign his name to his stuff, and not play
the sneak in this way. 1t is proper to
say of Mr.. Dunbar, that he withdrew
from being candidate, and left the field
for others, and we are surprised at even
Tom Saxton permitting his columns to
be used in this spiteful way. Whoever it
is, be gnavs file, and only shows the
viper. Does the Rep. expect to help the
