The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1882-08-24
THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.


Nominated week before last, is, in its
personality, good one, and well worthy
the cordial support of all our friends
throughout the county. This is not the
heavy year for county offices, and hence
the voting citizens are only required to
elect four. While the positions are not
those usually contested warmly, they
are nevertheless important, inasmuch
as interests important to the people de-
volve upon those who may be called up
on to discharge their respective duties.
CAPT. VIM. S. ERB,
Our candidate for Recorder has not
hitherto been much known, in the ac-
tive politics of the county. He is COM
paratively a new man in this respect,
but none the less worthy. He is a ma
tive of the county, having first seen the
light in Bethlehem township, and his
father, the late Major Erb, was well
known in his day and generation in that
Democratic locality.
The Captain saw service in the late
unpleasantness," early becoming a
member of the 10th o. V. l., and receiV-
ing deserved promotion from time to
time, came out as an assistant Adjutant
to General Sam Beatty. His candidacy
at this time came about through the ur-
gency of many partial friends, who ap-
preciate his qualities. In fact, to ap-
preciate Mr.. Erb is only to know the
man. No more than this need be said
on this point.
Mr.. Erb has lived in Canton for seven
years past, but his business has only
permitted him to be at home over Sun
day, as a rule. He is a gentleman OF
good address and will soon become more
generally known.
j. NJ. SHELTER, ESQ,
Is again our candidate for County Com
missioner. Three years ago he was de-
feated by the small majority of eight
teen, when the Republicans carried the
county by about 300. We hope for better
luck this fall, trusting that our friends,
all over the county, will see that they
turn out and vote themselves and have
their neighbOrs do the same. This, in
fact, is the secret of success. A full
vote is victory; small vote, defeat.
Squire Shelter is one of the solid men
of Sugarcreek township, residing at
Beach city. He is a man of farming
and business experience, and the af-
fairs of the county would be attended to
faithfully were he one of the Board of
County Commissioners. We urge upon
our friends the Importance of their tax
ing an interest in the election this
fall, and that every man does his full
duty. 1t is only in this way we can
look for success. If Democrats would
only show the same active vigilance our
Republican friends do, the Democratic
rooster might crow more frequently
ANDREW sHoRB
Received the nomination for InfirmaTy
Director. He has served in that capacity
before, and given general satisfaction.
He is familiar with the requirements
devOlving upon the Directors, and al
though there is no pecuniary emolu-
ments worthy of consideration, the posi-
tion requires men of judgment and
broad humanity.
DIR. AUGUST LEININGER,
Who received the nomination for COro-
ner without opposition, is young ply
sician who has studied with energy his
profession, and has already attained a
creditable position. His many friends
will do their duty to give him MAORI
ty on the day of election.
Our ticket, it will be seen, is made up
of good, capable and worthy citizens,
and should, and we doubt not will, re-
ceiye the hearty support of the friends
