The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1882-10-05
CANTON. OHIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER s. 1882

seven administration congressman, as
he promised, unless Hubben furnishes
more money. Elsewhere in the South
the reports indicate that the bottom has
fallen out of the Chandler-Chalmers
style of breaking down the regular
Democracy, and the call is for money.
But from Ohio come the worst reports.
Hubbell is brought face to face with the
truth that there seems to be great
danger there of an 1874 tidal wave over
again. Amos Townsend has run on here
to tell the truth, and he frankly admits
that both of the Cincinnati districts are
lost, and probably the Marietta district.
He also says that Frank Hurd will be
elected in the Toledo district. Hubbell
is urged by his love for his party to do
all he can to prevent Democratic dele
CATION from coming here from Ohio.
There are better reports from Indiana
than from some other States, but it is
the same story all along the line.
No wonder HubbelPs beard whitens,
and trouble writes its story on his face.
A few weeks ago he prOfessed to believe
that the Republicans would have the
next House by an increased majority.
He does not believe it now, and if it can
be saved to the Republicans at all he
will be content. There are some indica-
tiOns that an attempt will soon be made
to secure large subscriptions from capi-
tallSts and manufacturers, on the plea
that If the Democrats carry the next
House they will be sure to cut down the
tariff list.
THE STATE OF THE OHIO CANVASS.

The Republicans here in the Foster
CLIQUE are more cheerful and hopeful
than they have been. They are not sea-
sick with confidence, but they are work
ing and screwlng every cent possible
out of every man, woman and child con-
nected with the State Government.
Auditor of State Oglevee, Treasurer of
the Republican Committee, is terror as
an assessment fiend, whose exactiOns
eclipse HubbelPs best efforts. The scrub
bers and spittOOn cleaners around the
State House, who make about SO a day,
have been struck for a 3 per cent. assess
ment, and bled for $18 apiece. The Re-
publican press and orators this year, as
last, have shrewdly hOwled about
"barl's' and the brewers $4,000 fund,
for the purpose of deceiving the people
and covering up their own dark deeds
and corrupt transactions.
To Offset the money the Republicans
are sending out, the Democrats have
nothing to depend upon except the eX-
ertions and patriotic labors of the peo-
pie. BY work, by hard, persistent and
harmonious labor, by individual and
united work from now on until the day
of election, the Democrats may carry
Ohio; but not otherwise. If every DEM
Ocrat who voted last year will go to the
polls this year, it will be possible to carry
Ohio; but not otherwise. Every Govern
ment official, State and National, who
could be commanded has been mustered
into Republican service. There is a
great and well-paid army of unscrupu-
IOus politicians facing the Democracy,
backed by Republican majority and a
big corruption fund.
Speaker Keifer has just finished a list
less and blundering weeks canvass in
the good old Democratic county of Pick
away. A prominent Republican of Cir
cleville, who was here to-day, said: "It
was blunder for Keifer to have come
into the county at all. He is miserable
speaker, and has no magnetism. He
spent his time in defending himself,
made his friends ashamed of him and his
record, and stirred up the Democrats"
