Letter from Canton a.

We have had a long dry spell of
weather, from which the corn and
grass was suffering, but on Thursday
it commenced raining and we have
had refreshing showers every day,
making all things lovely.
The political boom is about COM
mencing here. Hancock Clubs and
Garfield Clubs are being organized.
The Democrats are very sanguine over
Hancock & English, but many say, if
they elect by ballot they will be cheat
ed, as in 1876. But We are determined
not to submit to another to COM
promise, but to abide by the will of a
constitutional majority. and whoever
is elected must be seated.
Mr.. James A. Saxton, Major Nc
Kinley's father-in-law, has Cadet
Drum Corps organized, furnishing
them uniforms and drums. for the
campaign. They practice every eve-
ming. H... .if-
Great preparations are being made
for the Garfield boom-called the re-
union-September 1st. Hotels aud sa-
looms anticipate rich harvest.
Business, in all departments, we are
told, is in a prosperous condition, but
we can't see it. Aultman & Co. are
running lu!l time steel works, spring
works, knife works, plough works, and
all manufacturing is good at present,
and may continue so to November.
Of course it will and must.
Excursions are all the go. Cuyahnga
Falls is the center of attraction. Aug.
4th the Lutheral S. S. went on The
Valley Railroad. Fare for round trip,
go cents, 65l went. Aug. 10Th. M. E.
S. S. 60 cents; 1859 went. On We'd
nesday, the 18th, there is to be a Union
picnic of three Sabbath Schools, for
which IA, tickets have been sold. We
wish the patty a pleasant time and a
warm day. We paid many visits to
Niagra and to Nelson Led.es, but
must admit that none of them are
more interesting or picturesque than
Cuyahoga Falls. -.
