MAsst11oS, o., October ga few day
ago citizen Of Massillon, Mr.. p. G. All
bright, received letter from afriend ii
Allentown, Pa, asking II it were true tina
the Aultman interests at Akron and Can
ton had gone over to the Democracy, ant
that Mr.. Aultmau was openly working fol
Hancock. The letter stated that such re
port was in general circulation In that sec
ton, and was being used by the Democrats
for campaign purposes. Mr.. Albright re
lferredit the matter TO Mr.. W. F. Kicks, who
made inquiry direct Of Mr.. Aultman
Here 10 Mr.. Aultman's reply:
CANTON, O., September 25, 1880.
". +. Rick, Esq,;
DEAR Sra: Il have just received yours oi
the 24tb inst, calling my attention TO the
follow ing statement, which you say Is be-
| ing generally circulated, and requesting
me to reply TO the came: "That the firms
Of @. Auitman < Co., OF Canton, O., and
Aultman, Miller & Co., Of Akron, o., with
their employees, had gone over to the Han
cock ticket, and that @. Aultman was tax
ing an active interest in the Hancock
campaign" g
In answer to the above, beg to say
that the stockholders Of O. Aultman 4
Co., OF Canton, and Aultman, Miller &
Co., of Akron, with, ] believe, two excep;,
tons, are all earnest Republicans, and
greatly interested in the success OF the Re.
publican ticket this year. About the em'
ployes, can only say that, in my indg-
ment, they will give larger vote for Gar.
field and Arthur than they have ever
given for any Republican candidate in the
past. As sfor myself, can assure you that
/ have always been q Republican, and
could not think Of deserting . party which
took this country with Treasury bank
rupt and the Union broken into fragments
from the hands OF the Democratic party
on the 4th OF March, 1851, and has
given US both restored Union and un-
paralleled credit. Icannot leave party
which has given US re.nnited nationi
which has done so much to encourage
the growth and development Of American
manufactures, and protect the labonng
Luhh hkhllht tuG INV WhhCo VI hAo ASiStSn
rivals; which has given us gold, silver and
paper money everywhere equal, and in
abundance for the business OF The country,
all OF which has resulted In unexampled
prosperity everywhere. Under no circum-
stances, II it were within my control,
would / consent to change. Times never
were better than now, the business out
look for all classes was never more fayora-
BILE, and, as q business man, under like
circumstances, l would oppose q
change in the management OF my
business; for the same reason
l oppose 9 change in the business admin.
istration OF the country, and II change is
to occur, canno. forget that such change
means restoration in this country OF the
same party which in 1861 sought to over.
throw the Union and has always retarded
thegrowth Of our manufactures By Its free
trade doctrines. Inever In my life was 80
much interested in the success OF the Re.
publican party, except at Mr. Lincoln's
second election, as now. II was . crisis
then; / believe ills crisis now. Pardon
me for the lengthy reply.
Yours truly,
@, AULTMAN,
