A LARGE and enthusiastic Democratic
meeting was held in Skeelss hall Thurs
day night last, and was addressed by
Judge L. D. Tnoman, Democratic candi-
date for Congress. The Judge is fine
speaker, and by his fairness and candor
in discussing the political issues, he won
over many Republicans to him. He was
not vindiCtive and abusive in his talk,
but candid and fair, giving the Republi-
can party honor where honor was due.
The Judge will lead his ticket by good
many hundred votes, and we trust he
may be elected. He would make an able
and honest Representative. lie would
represent in true sense the principles
Of the good old party, and would stand
firm by the Constitution and the laws.
Let us do all we can to secure his cleo
tion.-O Patriot.

The great tariff demonstration at

count for Garfield. The large shops in
Canton, Akron and Youngstown, as

few attended. With all the drumming

surprise even it's friends in other states,
As there was no separate Democratic
candidate in the field it is impossible to
accurately measure the relative strength
of the two parties to the contract The
Democrats will naturally claim that the
advantage is substantially theirs, and
will make the most of it in reviving the
Hancock boom. which came to so abrupt
a stand still shortly after the Cincinnati
convention. They will be enabled to do
80 the more plausibly, because the Re-
publican managers in Maine have given
out from time to time that the Green

were returning to their party. If they
were really doing so, the Democratic
gain is obvious.-N. Y. Times, (Rep) Sept.
