VOTE WITH THE DEMOCRACY
FOR HANCOCK.

The Republican party has not made
honesty and official purity requisite
for filling public positions Rather has
the party made official position reward
for unlawful and crimi Ea party service.
Republican rule has been misru'e ! $
perjnrers bribe'takera, official frauds and
criminals have been rctected from the
penalty due their crimes, and promoted
to Offices of power and trust.
A party so lost to all rules of propriety
and regard for honest public service, is
unworthy the votes of good citizens.

TO THE MINERS OF STARK co.
Miners, as class, are probably as
likely to be affected by Chinese compe'
tition, to say nothing of the interference
of negro miners, as any class of lsb9ring
men.
No doubt TIE thoughtful men among
the miners have considered this ques'
ton; and take deep interest in it.
The negro slave question three centur'
les ago was not half so ominous as the
Chinese cheap labor question now.
Mr.. Gar6eld's course in Congress, as
we'll as his votes, give abundant evl'
dence that he has always favored Chi
nese immigration. His letter to Mor'N
given 10 this paper, only corroborates
his inyariable and uniform action, at all
times and in all cases.
We are no alarmist; but desire our
friends, and indeed all laboring men, 10
look facts in the face, consider them
well, and act as becomes wise, men and
freemen.
The position of the Democratic party
on the Chinese question is not equivoca
nor doubtful We say American labor
must be prote cted from the Chinese pes
thence at all hazards. Mr.. Garfed's
position and course are especially well
known, and the publication of his letter
to Morey only cerroborates his previous
course. The letter is no doubt genuine
Radical denial of it's authenticity ia not
disproof; when the fact of its being in
accord with his we'll known views, con-
firms its genuinenesG.
Let every laborlng man vote against
James A. Garfield, the advocate of Chi
nese cheap labor.

rHr LErrER ANp THR Man.

The New York Herald yesterday con-
tanned an editorial article, declaring
that no such man as Fl. L. Morey, to
whom Garfield addressed his infamous
Chinese labor letter, ever existed.
Suppoee fer moment this is true2
Garfield is charged with witing The
letter, not Morey.
Let Gen. Garfield say, over his own
signature or by affidavit, that he did not
write this lie ter, and Truth will instantly
prove the existence of the man to whom
he wrote it, that mans business and
character, and Gen. Garfeld's perjury

DEMOCRATS OF STARK.

On Tuesday next the people of the
United States choose by ballot the elect
ors of President and Vice President.
1t is earnestly hoped, and certainly
desirable, that every friend of the Con-
stitution and just govern lent should
do mis- duty as an American citizen.
The Democratic cause il the cause of
the people; and upon the people our
great cause relies for euccess. The Re
publican party protects the monied clas
ses, and that element looks after the
welfare Of that party. This patent fact
ought to open the eyes of many, but
they are blinded by false cries not in is
sue, and appeals to religious and other
prejudiCes,
Samuel ]. Tilden received a popular
majority in the United States of over
250,000 votes. In the Northern states
he received nearly three million votes.
Let us remember that the Democracy
have large majority of the people now.
All that is necessary to elect Hancock
is 70 conserve" the votes of those dis
posed thereto.
We urge, then, upon every true friend
of the country, Of its peace and prosper
ity, to DO his full duty to that end.
Every man is interested in just and
honest administration. The well known
and infamous career of the Republican
party while in power, and the smirched
character of the Republican candidate
shows the need OF it. Let each man do
his duty in the direction of honest gov
ernment, and vote for Hancock and
English.

ing from inanimate clay, artistic work (;
and by subjecting it to the drying pro.
cess of heat, putting it into beautiful
and enduring shapes. He also referred
to the shapeless block of marble going
through the sculptor's hands, presenting
at last the idea of his mind, possibly an
angel, beautiful in symmetry and pro-
portion.
Mr.. Burns then took up the different
kind of boys, and with pleasing compar.
isons and happy remarks, gently hinted
the teachers duty. The lecture was
practicai in hints and illustrations; and
when he got his boy to manhood's per
iod, and introduced him into life's walks
and ways, his remarks were interesting
and amusing.
We never before had the pleasure of
hearing Mr.. Burns, an! now, more than
ever, regret hi. defeat for School Com
missioner. We are satisfied Ohio never
had a Commissioner more devoted in
the work or one who is more highly
esteemed by the teachers of the state.
Many teachers, Republicans of Stark
county, voted for Mr.. Burns, and much
regret his defeat at the late election.

Reception Committee and the Oakland
Light Cavalry. Meantime throughout the
streets of San Francisco, on the line Of
march, thousands had gathered, securing ad-
vantageous points to witness the procession,
while the space at the foot of Market street
presented a lively scene, being crowded with
spectators, amid which the police and a
squadron of cavalry with some difficulty
maintained an open space for the move
ment of the cortege. The city officials,
Consular representatives, officers of the army
and navy anc carriages, were admitted, and
the ferry dock and gates were closed to keep
out the press of people. AT twenty minutes
to o'clock the ferry steamer having the
President and party on board reached her
slip and a landing was effected. The Presi-
dent advanced between lines formed by the
naval and military officers and Consuls to
where Supervisor Stetson was waiting to well
come him on behalf of the city, while salute
of artillery. cheers of the crowd and music of
the band announced his advance. The intro
ductions being made, Mr.. Stetson, after a
brief address, presented the President with
IL; q rr
Supervisors, welcoming and extending to him
the freedom of the city. Colonel j. 2. jack
son followed, in behalf of the citi-
zens at large. in few well-timed
remarks. The President replied to the ad-
dresses simply by an inclination of the head
and hand-shaking, and after few minutes
conversation was conducted to q carriage
drawn by SIX handsome bays, Messrs. Stet-
son and Jackson accompany ng him. Gen.
