REV. A. b. LEONARD,

OF Cincinnati, was an active spirit in
the LOveland Prohibition Convention,
and opposed Charley Fosters hirelings
from controlling things, We published
last week his speech in Cincinnati in
reply to the attacks of the Foster organs.
The gentleman spent several days in
Canton last week, being engaged on the
defense in the church trial of Albert
Ball VS.. Impertus Martin. The case he
conducted with merited ability, giving
evidence of thorough knowledge of the
legal rules governing such cases.
1t seems Mr.. Leonard was born and
grew up in Lexington township, this
county, and there took his first step in
the ministry. His brilliant career in
the ministry" says the Alliance Review,
''has been a surprise and source of con-
graduation to his friends" He made a
speech in Mr.. BOOkwalter's Opera House
at Springfield week OF 50 ago, to full
house, in course of which he stated
that he had evidence that 1T was a pre-
concerted plan of the Republicans in
"the last Legislature, not to find the
"three votes necessary to pass temper
"ance legislation"
Thus he exposed the tTeachery of the
party leaders. Their double dealing
was all arranged; was precOncer-
ted; those in doubtful counties like
Stark voting for Local Option, and in
strong counties like Summit voting
against. The members from Cincinnati
and Cleveland voted against temper
ance legislation, fearing, of course, the
German vote in those cities. In fact,
the whole business was dOctOred and
fixed up to fool the temperance people,
as we'll as others. The Reverend Mr..
Leonard wants none Of this double deal
ing and hence denOunces the ''imbecile
Legislature" and the Republican lead

SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN.

The evening Garfield died Senator
John Sherman delivered himself OF his
speech at Wooster. 1t was his usual
annual supply of campaign stuff in
which Eliza PinkstOn's next friend told
his financial story, Omitting as usual
the panic and business ruin that over
took the country in 1873 and continued
for years, all in consequence OF Repub-
lican rule. This iceberg referred to
his first election to congress in 1854 but
did not say he was the Know Nothing
candidate. He was then poor but now
is said to be worth his millions. He
praises the National Banking system,
and no doubt ought to, at least his
favOrite one in New York city, that made
millions out of refunding when he was
Secretary of the Treasury. He did not
refer to the whisky rings during and
after the war that through COngressiOn-
al manipulatiOns made on two occasions
from fifteen to twenty millions at each
time.
OF course those crooked periods and
incidents Mr.. Sherman did not refer to-
nor did he refer to that martyr Eliza
PinkstOn on whom five years ago he
made speech in the Senate knowing
at the time he was lying like Satan.
This Sherman skilled In ali thALss evil
Might read lesson 70 tho devil.

THE TARIFF AND POLITICS.

EX-GOVERNOR HENDRICKS has an arti-
Gle in the North American Review un-
der the title, Shall Two States Rule
the UniOnP" The States referred to are
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, and
the author charges that the present
tariff is shaped wholly in the interest
of those States. He thinks these two
things proper to be done:
81. To take the tariff out Of politics,
"Or perhaps, speaking more correctly,
'tO take politics out Of the tariff.
"2. To establish the tariff as busi-
mess interest of the country"
He fayOrs the appointment of COM
mission provided for by Senator EatOn's
bill. He thinks that what impOrtatiOns
shall be taxed and at what rate, are
questions to be answered by practical
men. Heretofore representatives Of
particular interests have gone to Wash
ingtOn and lObbied and rolled logs, and
the most impOrtunate of them have Sc
cured what they wanted, and their sue
cess has been in direct proportion to
their importantly. This process has re-
suited in the present disgraceful and
anomalous condition of the tarif-a
condition admitted to be disgraceful
and anomalous by Mr.. Hendricks, and
by everybody else. In fact, the tariff
as whole has few defenders. Even
the New York Senator, Warner Miller,
the other day had the face to quarrel
with it because his interest,
wood pulp, was not sufficiently protect
ed. There is hardly political ecOnO-
mist of the protection school who pre-
tends that the tariff ought not to be re-
vised.
1t is doubtful whether the tariff will
ever get out of politics. The object Of
tariff taxation is to provide revenue to
carry on the Governmental least this
should be the object. And this tax
should be so arranged as to raise the
revenue in the least burdensOme and
most effective way.
In revising the tariff care should be
taken to injure no interest, but treat
all with due regard and within the
limits of Justice, A mere protective
duty is a swindle upon the people, mas
much as the people are taxed not for
revenue, but to put money in the pOck-
cts of individuals. o..
The tariff question is an important
matter, and should be discussed before
the people with reason and not TancOr.
1t has been too long eyaded by Demo-
cratic speakers and Democratic jour
mails. 1t should be taken up now and
the public mind got ready by 1884, 50
that there should be no repetition of
the silly clamOr Republican dema-
gOgues raised in 1880.

OLEOMARGARINE

Is manufactured butter, made out OF
refuse, tallOw, beef, Suet, etc. 1t is finely
cOlored and sold in the market fOF Tegu-
lar butter; people not being able TO tell
the difference. Immense quantities OF
the article are made and sold. 1t is the
invention of French chemist, and Its
manufacture only costs about One-thlrd
as much as natural butter. ,.r---
In our late "imbecile Legislature" a
bill was introduced to protect the people
against this artificial stuff, fOrbidding
its sale under severe penalties unless 1t
was stamped as OleOmargarine, so that
people might know what they were
buying; and that honest butter makers
might be protected in their honest work.
Well, the danger called the manufac-
turers of OleOmargarine to Columbus in
hurry. They feared the effect Of such
legislation upon their immensely profit
able business. Their manipulatiOns
were successful, and the bill failed to
pass! Here is one other feather in the
cap of the late Republican Legislature.
Had not Stark county better return her
trio, HartshOrn, Snyder and COnradT
II the honest farmers and butter
makers of Stark county want again this
OleOmargarine set, they should vote for
them; but if not, we suggest they vote
for ROBERT WARWICK, JOHN MCBRIDE
and FRED MACKAMAN. The last named
gentlemen want honest butter; no OleO-
margarine in theirs, and will labor to
protect honest butter makers.
Let people who prefer eating the nat
ural honest article, as well as honest
farmers, who make and sell the
honest article, vote on election day the
Democratic ticket. 1t is not an artificial
OleOmargarine affair!

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS IN NEW
YORK

Never" says a New York Democratic
exchange, "since a Republican Legisla-
ture first gerrymandered the state, were
the prospects brighter for Democratic
Legislature"
The bitterness of the late contest at
Albany still rankles in the Republican
party; and halfbreeds and stalwarts are
irrecOncilable; and the disgust OF the
people is bitter and decided.
The Democrats got the Legislature in
1874, when Tilden carried the state by
over fifty thousand majority.
In 1876 Tilden carried the state by 49,
900 majority, but the Legislature was
Republican, and the Congressman stood
as in 1874, 16 Democrats to II Republi-
cans. ALI this shows the Republican
gerrymandering of the state.
The ratio of representation under the
census of 1870 was fixed by Congress at
131 ,426 inhabitants to each Congress
men; but it took more than this in a
Democratic district and less in Repub-
lican, thus defrauding systematically
the Democracy of the state of New York.
This unfairness has been also q trOu-
BILE in Ohio; and this consideration
should induce Democrats everywhere to
do their duty at the next election, and
endeavOr to secure a Legislature that
will not be "imbecile, but just and fair,

OBEY THE RING.

From the Alliance Review we see that
the determination of the Republican
leaders of Stark county is to compel
every Republican voter to swallow their
whole ticket whether they likeit or not.
The threat is that their Central Com
mittee will publish in black list the
names of those men who exhibit inde-
pendence enough to vote without diCta-
tiOn from the Central Court House ring.
This is certainly beautiful, indeed!
Free American citizens are to be dra-
gOOned into implicit obedience to the
dictates Of a few ringleaders. Are the
people to be slavesP Are free elections
Overp Must free American citizens be
threatened and driven in this way2
Does the Review speak by the book?
We suppose it does by authority. The
command came, we presume, from the
Court House ring and hence the Review
Obeyed orders. A black list! A free
American citizen, born white, not asking
nor seeking office, is to vote the whole
ticket as the ring Ordersl Is this the
dOctrineP This the rule? Old Federal
TOryism Is being improved upon surely.

DESPOT RULE.

The Alliance Review, speaking by au-
thOrity, threatens to parade in black
list, the names of Republicans who
will dare to vote scratched ticket, or
bolt the entire Republican ticket, and
support either the Democratic or Pro-
hibitiOn ticket.
'DespOts govern by terror" and ter
rOr, force, fraud, ETC., have been and are
active elements in the Republican par
ty. By these means they have held, and
do now hold power. By such means,
many despOtism is prolonged.
Freedom of thought and of speech,
and of individual action, constitute the
foundation of all free governments,
The party in power to-day, may be the
party out of power tomorrow. This is
popular liberty. If the people are not
free thus to act, there is no liberty,
These petty tyrants who would at
tempt and threaten thus to drive free
American citizens, should receive les
son at the polls they would not forget
Who are these men that assume such
authority? Who are these Russian
Caesars that presume to whip into the
traces citizens Of Stark county, These
despOts must be alarmed. They must
fear the free independent voters Of
Stark county, and hence this threat Of
the Committee through the Alliance Re-
view.

RAUCH, we believe, belonged to the
old courthouse ring under the FessleI
regime, and then furnished the sheritt's

ary edited, and which he boasts of Sc

ring, furnishes the sheriff's printing
and supports the boss Organ.-RepOsl'

The above is a fair specimen of the
work now being carried on by the item,
pOrary editor" of the Repository. We
give notice that this effort at personal
abuse of candidates will not win; mark
it. As for Mr.. Rauch, he asks for nc
certificate of character from any one
He is well known to the people Of
Stark county. For four years he
served the people of this cOun'
ty as sheriff, and made one OF
the most popular, accommodating,
faithful and efficient officers the cOun-
ty ever had-and it was during this pc
riOd, was it, that the Fessler defalca-
tiOn Occurredp Just so, and during the
same period Fessler was arrested for
his crime and sentenced to the Peni-
tentiary for twelve years by a Demo
cratic Judgel He is now in prison
garb in the service of the State. This
effort to revive the old Fessler song, we
predict, will not work at this late day.
By the way, let US inquire
of the Repository if our Com
missiOners have made formal proof
of the cOunty's ten thousand dollar
claim against the estate Of c. Russell &
Co? The taxpayers of the county may
be interested in knowing what diVi-
dend they are to receive on the loan
made by Fessler to that Republican in
stitutiOn.
As for the "Sheriff's printing" we
say to our Republican contemporary,
just possess your soul in peace. The
Stark county DEMOCRAT enjoyed the
"Sheriff's printing" under Rauch, when
Sheriff. 1t now enjoys the "Sheriff's
printing" under Sheriff Altekruse
and unless we very much
mistake the signs of the times, the
Stark County Democrat will enjoy the
"Sheriff'S printing" for few years lon
ger. And right here, lest we forget it,
let us ask about that little arrangement
of SaxtOn-McKinley to throw into the

AT LAST.
Attorney General Nash's Letter.---nAn
Opinion a. Is an Opinion"

Attorney General Nashs Letter.---,,An
Opinion as Is an Opinion"
The Repository of Saturday gave the let
ter of Attorney General Nash expressing
his brief opinion that Mr.. Wise "can hold
his office" till next September, and that
the people of the county need not elect
a treasurer to fill the vacancy The let
ter is dated August 2. and we are at q
loss to understand why this letter was
not published sooner. If twas of value
and important why conceal till this
time. We have repeatedly called for
the letter hoping it would be an
argumentat:ye affair that would
give us new light. But he has
not; and we have attorneys here who
have Investigated the case and just as
capable gentlemen as Mr.. Nash, who
differ with him entirely on this subject.
Why did not Mr.. TOnner publish this
letter at once on receiving it? Why
cancel it till this timep Possibly it was
not thought of much value. We give
the letter:
COLUMBUS, O., Aug, 2, 1881.
Mr.. A. C. ToNNER, Canton, O.:
DEAR SIR-I have your letter making
inquiry as to how long Henry A. Wise,
the present Treasurer of Stark county,
can hold his office. If i have the facts
correctly, Sullivan, the Treasurer of
Stark county, was removed from his
Office more than thirty days before the
October election of 1881. Wise was duly
appointed to fill the vacancy. His sue
cessOr will be elected at the October
election of 81, for the full term of two
years. But his term of office will not
commence until the first Monday in
September, 1882. Wise is entitled to
hold the Office until that time.
This opinion, think, is fully sustained
by the Supreme Court in the case of the
State eX rel. against the Commissioners
Of Muskingum county, 7th Ohio State
Reports, p. 1875.
You also make inquiry In regard to
the expiration of the term of Office of
your coroner. The facts, believe, are
these: At the October election, 1879, a
coroner was elected in your county; he
qualified and took possession of his Of
flee on the first Monday of January, 1880,
but shortly afterwards resigned. DR..
Cock was appointed to fill the vacancy.
In October, 1880, DR., Cock was elected to
the Office of Coroner. He is entitled to
hold his Office under said election for
two years from the first Monday in Jan
uary, 1881.
Yours very lruly,
GEO. X. NASH, Adjt.-General.
