The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1882-09-14

A YEAR ago at this time Foster & Co
were not warning upon the saloon and
liquor interests. They were round max
ing it pleasant and promising, fair.
True then, as now, they had their Frank
Bairds, Ike fuckers and Mason Longs
around preaching on Sunday and week
days to the temperance people, urging
them to vote the Republican ticket. The
saloon vote last year gave the Republi-
cans Stark county.

A YEAR ago the wealthy brewers,
wholesale liquor dealers and saloon
keepers of Ohio held meeting in Gin
cinnati, contributed literally to the Re-
publican campaign fund and passed
resolutions in favor of the reelection of
Foster and the Republican ticket. Fos-
ter was reelected, and the Repository
rejoiced over it as grand Republican
victory. Brewers, liquor dealers and
salOOn-keepers are pretty good sort of
fellows provided they vote the Republi-
can ticket and help the party in the
way of liberal contributions. In Stark
county the saloon men took through the
Republican ticket, electing Senator
HartshOrn and Representatives Conrad
and Snyder.

CoNGREssMAN MCKINLEY and friends

CONGRESSMAN MCKINLEY and friends
admit he will lose Republican votes
over the district; but claim he will
make it up by securing the votes of
Democrats. This, of course, is all stuff.
Democrats are Democrats this year, and
will be out to vote, and will vote an un-
scratched ticket. Benedict Arnold sold
out to King George; Judas sold and be-
trayed his Master; but no man, with a
spark of patriotism or regard for princi
pie at such time as this, will pawn his
soul for little filthy lucre. Should we
learn of single case we shall gladly
give the fellow full report and hand
him over to the devil and eternal shame.
We shall not charge such dish of skim
milk anything either, for giving him
nOtOriety.

the Republican party all the credit for
suppressing the rebellion, paying off

not spent it's force but has not yet reached
it's climax. 1t has passed the point where
new towns usually brought to a stand
still or commence decline, and has en-
tered upon the second and permanent
stage o. prosperity and advancement
The future Of jamestown IS now assured,
aud nothing, except some improbable ca
lamlty, can even retard its progress. That
in three years from now 1t will be city
of five thousand inhabitants, is not an ex-
travagant estimate, but rather an under
estimate, judging from the past and con-
sidering thu sure enterprises of the future.
The splendid farm houses and barns that
dot the prairie on all sides of town and
every month are becoming thicker and
extending further out are evidences of
the faith of the agriculturist in the James
River Valley, as do the costly dwellings
and elegant business houses tnat are be-
ing built evidence the faith of the bust
ness men and capitalists in the future Of
Jamestown We have in the country and
town the energy, the capital and the en-
tcrprise to develop them both, and these
three elements of prosperity, with more
natural advantages than any other coun-
try in the world, insure future beyond
the most sanguine anticipations of even
our own people.

Pony Exercise.


Our town looked very much like it had
been taken possession of by cavalry bri-
gade yesterday evenlng-that is, it would
appear so tO a stranger-but the eques-
trian display was on account of our own
citizens having purchased ponies during
the day and were out trying their tracta-
bility and speed. Those who haye not
obtained Texas pony have to grin and
bear their destitution, but are permitted
to stand on the sidewalk and watch their
more fortunate friends ride by with that
air and feeling of triumph which nc cz.c
can ever assume except he Is the posses
sor Of and astride Texas pony. See
the Wellingtonian horseback attitude
they put on, sitting up SO straight they
leal back, and the semi circular line they
describe when the pony suddenly stops
and the riders 60 on reaching the ground
in position OF reversed perpendicularlty
We shall call at the coroner's office early
in the morning and obtain list of those
who are not success in riding Texas
pony AS matter of convenience and
to insure publication in the next issue OF
the Alert, we request those who intend
taking these evening rides to report their
names, ages, and to whom their estates
are devised, so that we can write up theil
obituaries and have them ready for an
emergency. The ponies are well broke
but some of the riders are not.

Delays Are Expensive.

The tide in the affairs of every one
which, if taken at the flood, leads to
wealth, glory and renown, now is pre-
santed to those who are within reach of
Jamestown. The prices of property here
are but nominal as compared with those
of Fargo, and there is nothing in the sur
roundings and natural advantages of
jamestown but that point to time not
far in the future when property in lanes
town and contiguous farm land in this
valley will command and be worth more
than like property at Fargo. Fargo now
is what Jamestown is soon to be in the
matter Of prices of property. There is
nothing to prevent it and everything to
favor it. The projected enterprises for
this place are of themselves sufaiicient to
nearly double the value Of property, and
IN addition to this IS the natural increase
OF values that follows the development of
the country. In view of all these facts
and self-evldent conclusions that follow
them, it IS wisdom to secure homes as
early as possible. Delays will no doubt
prove to be expensive, and investments
remuneratlve.

Our DISTINGUISHED Visitors.

Sunday afternoon the following party
of gentlemen distinguished III financial
and railroad circles arrived III Jamestown
by special train and renamed until yes
terday afternoon: II. Willard, president,
G T. Hobart, Supt. Dakota division; Geo,
N. Sims, assistant vice president; A
Mitchell, chief engineer; FL Haupt gem
eral manager; Mr.. Windsor, of the land
department, and a party of six German
bankers and capitalists; the Seligman
bankers of New York City. Messrs. A.
w. Bell and James Pillon were the con-
ductors. Notice of their coming was re-
ceived by telegraph, and upon their arri-
val bugges were at the depot ready to
conduct them about the town and coun-
try, of which they made survey in the
evening and next morning attended by
prominent citizens of our town. The
Alert learns that they were well pleased
with their reception and with the town
aud country. Our enterprising business
men can entertain visitors as royalty as
any people in the country and they die
It on this occasion.

Let EN- Come.

1t is announced from Washington that
a party consisting of Gen. Sherman, Chief
Justice Waite, Justice Gray and other
dignitaries will take trip out to the
Yellowstone country and the Pacific slope
this summer, and will go through on the
Northern Pacific. If they do come James
town will greet them with her magnificent
flag, and her band will stir their souls
with music. The boys should rub up on
Hail Columbia for the special benefit of
Gen. Tecumseh Sherman, who is an
American soldier to the backbone, ter
ror in war and hero in peace. We must
have cannon for that occasion, and give
Gen. Sherman war boom. The Alert
will keep on the alert for the coming of
this party and notify the people in due
time.

A Picnic Retreat.

Out about fifteen miles from Jamestown
is Splritwood lake, surrounded by trees
and in the clear waters of which fish of
several kinds abound. The road to that
place is always good and the drive is a
pleasant one, of from an hour and a half
to two hours or longer as the load team or
driver may suggest. No country in the
world can excel our wagon roads, which
are solid and level without either ruts or
sloughs, and even across the pralrles away
from the regularly travelled road the going
either on foot or by team IS good. But as
to Splritwood lake, it is beautiful place
for a picnic for parties who want pleas
ant drive and boat ride and some amuse-
mcnt fishing Messrs. Wallace and Wins
low own several sections of land in that
vicinity and we learn they intend to build
some houses the1e this summer with 8
view to furnishing the means of accom-.
mediation to picnic, fishing and such othel
parties as may 60 out there on pleasure
visits.

Klaus New Park.

The attention that has already been
gwen to the laying out and beautifying
public parks at Jamestown is eminently
praiseworthy, and the enterprise of sew
eral of our citizens in this respect entities
them to much credit and gives them pre-
empt1on on the gratitude of future gener-
ations if not of this one. Parks in cities
are like oases in a desert. No matter how
attractive city or town may otherwise
be, If it does not possess these retreats
from the constant and unccasing tumult
and turmoil of business, it will become
tireSome and monotonouS and repulsive to
the worn and weary. n park forsocial
gatherings, public demonstrations and re-

The New Courthouse and the Future.
Yesterday morning ground was broke
for the foundation of the new court house,
in the north half of block SO, by Mr. E. d.
Lathrop, the contractor. The location is
on the highest elevation in town, except
perhaps some of the additions that extend
up on the bluffs, and is certainly beau
tiful and eligible site. When the beau
tiful structure stands complete in all of
its magniticence and gorgeous grandeur 1T
will first present itself to view from the
railroad trains and wagon roads coming
into town from all directions. The new
court house will be a thing of beauty and
a Joy Of the generations yet to come. It
will proclaim to the world the enterprise
of jamestown and Stutsman county, and
will be remarked and remembered by
travellers passing through. jamestown is
already noted by travellers for it's unap-
proachablc beauty of location and cleanly
appearance We have yet to see the first
person who ever passed through James
town that did not distinctly remember
and specially remark these characterist-
les of the place. Though they could only
retain dim recollection Of the general
appearance of other towns along the line,
they could minutely describe that of
Jamestown Their words are in sub
stance as follows: eyes, distinctly re-
member jamestown. 1t is in the first
valley of the James river, and the pretti-
est, cleanliest, brightest looking town on
the Northern Pacific. On account of the
bluffs up to the table lands of the second
valley of the river on the east and west
sides you do not see the town till you
come right on to it, and then you are SO
charmed with its appearance that it leaves
a lasting and vivid impression upon your
mind" The new court house will be
subject of interest and remark by travel
ers, and with good wheat crop, which is
now almost assured, the car shops, and
other projected enterprises, jamestown
Will have such Il boom as no town in the
valley ever witnessed before. In view Of
these assured facts of the future we think
it not extravagant to say that within one
year from to-day property will have in
creased one hundred per cent in value
and the population treoled.
