times to spread its fame as an institu-

work of huckstering, unprincipled poll

There is another concern WE take
prize in, namely, the Stark County DEN
ccRAT. It was here before tie Buckeye,
and still lives. 1t, too, has had its ca

before It's mission is to vindicate
Truth, maintain Justice, and stand by
the Constitution. In this work it fear

prejudice. 1t wears not brazen front,
made up of ignorance and vain conCeit,
but meets error with the sling of truth
Mr.. Miler's writer has him say not
only foolish things, but what are untrue,
He probably knew Mr.. Miller would not
know the difference, for the mountain
of prejudice in him is large enough to
swallow anything, however ridiculous,
against the Democratic party. On this
account it is a wonder the Hartshorrs
have not put to Mr.. Miller's name the
honorable title Of L. L. D or A double s."
The article says "the cotton states are
the great majority of your party" Now
the cotton states are less than half of
the South and the Democratic vote of
the South is not much over half the
Democratic vote of the North. The
amount of truth in this may thus be
seen.
The twain, Miller and his proxy, talk
of the South favoring free trade We
take pleasure in enlightening those gen.
tlemen on this point The Southis now

stitutional tariff, as every true American
citizen should be. Not one of those
Southern gentlemen, as far as we know,
is free trader enough to be a member OF
the Golden Free Trade League of Eng
la I'D, as James A. Garfield, the Chinese
candidate, is. So let these troubled
souls feel easy.
Why the Buckeye people should
hound and abuse the South we cannot
understand, since we learn they have
prosperous, profitable and growing trade
in that region. Does not prosperous
South help to make prosperous North?
Is not their trade worth havingP We
believe it is, and that the South should
be treated like men and fellow citizens
Never has this country, and hardly
any other, seen such political party as

of crimes that should consign them to

jury, bribe taking and fraud seem to be
only qualifications for Office. With loud
and long professions of temperance they
elect men to position suffering from de.

for Vice President, was kicked out of

make him all the more acceptable. Yet
Miller and his man do not, in their

Is it possible that party prejudice can

If an esta taolished church is dangerous,

The article has Mr.. Miller say he does
not like to have himself and business
dragged before the public, and then pre-
Ceeds to parade himself and his heavy
opinions, frankly" and foolishly. When

pie and stuff about protection" as to
them may be set down as the Shallowest
and sheerest nonsense.
Protection is only sought for articles
made here which are liable to be affected
by similar articles imported from abroad
AS the Buckeye is not 60 affected but is
shipped to and sold in Europe, it needs
no protection, and it is folly to waste
words on it.
A man who has been as fortunate as
Mr.. Miller in money making, is apt to
grow in vanity, and is liable to be used
by others. The mind grows on what ii
