The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1882-04-20

THE Democratic party gained a vic
tory at the local elections which was
solely the fruit of thoughtlessness
on the part of large portion of the
people. The provisions of the Pond
bill were exaggerated into fla
grant violations of individual rights
by partisan malignity before they
were thoroughly understood. Now
that calm reflection has inter
vened the principle of right-Of equal
and exact justice-invOlyed in them is
plainly discerned.-[R Repository,
The Pond bill does not extend beyond
Ohio, and will not explain the Republi-
can defeats in Chicago and elsewhere,
east and west. When people vote their
honest sentiments uninhuenced they
are actuated by "the principle of right,
of equal and exact justice" and hence
Democratic victories result. When,
however, as in 1880, at the polls the in
famous and corrupt power of wealth,
through the moneyed and employing
lords and Star Route DOrseys and Bra
dys, the people are cOerced or defrauded
or as In 1876-77 the man defeated is
counted in through perjury, forgery
and fraud.

AGAINST THE BILL,
THERE are over $4,000 Chinese in Cali

THERE are over $1,000 Chinese in Cali
fOTnia.-DEMOCRAT.
Yet our cOtempOrary would have us
believe that 50000000 of American peO-
pie are scared to death, almost by the
$1,000 heather Chinesel The Chinese
question needs attention doubtless, but
its political Importance is over estimated
immensely.-RepOsitOry.
We submit a resolution from the Ma
tional Republican platform of 1880, on
which Garfield and Arthur ran and were
elected:
6. Since the authority to regulate
immigration and intercourse betv cen
the United States and foreign nations
rests with Congress, or with the United
States and its treaty making power, the
Republican party, REGARDING THE UN-
RESTRICTED IMMIGRATION OF THE CHI
NESE AS AN EVIL OF GREAT MAGNITUDE,
invokes the exercise of those powers TO
restrain and limit that immigration by
the enactment of such just, humane,
and reasonable provisions as will pro-
duce that result.
The Repository endorsed their platform
in 1880. Garfield and Arthur endorsed
it, and now Arthur being the President,
vetOes a measure to restrict Chinese i'm
migration, and the party organs endorse
his veto. "Its political Importance is
over estimated" Tsays the Rep. In the
estimation of the people of California
and the other Pacific States, it cannot be
cover estimated" In a vote on the
Chinese question taken in California a
year or two ago, out of about 10000 votes
a little over 800 were for admitting the
Chinesel
The Chinese Republican party and
their organs, like the Repository, may
hear from these States in time. But we
invite attention to the cool hypocrisy of
the party. hrthur is selected on plat
form that favors restricting Chinese i'm
migration; but vetoes the measure and
allows the tide Of evil to continue.
American wOrkingmen everywhere
should consider this question and Re-
publican tactics Herewith.

Gillespie on the Aultman-Laubie Contro-
versy in Which AuItman Gets a Dab.
In another column will be found
letter from Judge Laubie in reply to
letter in the Standard last week, pur-
porting to be from G. Aultman, of Cam
ton. These letters, from these two emf
nent gentlemen, are remarkable, in
that they fatty contradict each other,
and it is painfully evident that some
body is guilty of deliberate prevarica-
ton. 1t should be the duty of the hon
est voters of the District to run this
falsehOOd to hole. If Mckinley and
Cornelius Aultman, who it seems is des-
tined to get his finger in this congress
siOnal pie, are guilty of deception and
falsehOOd, to the end that the former
may retain his hold on the district, they
should be allowed to drop like hot pOta-
toes. But if on the other hand Judge
Laubie has misTepTesented the facts, to
the detriment of Mckinley, he has for
feited his claim to the support of hon
est men. 1t is evident that somebody is
going to get hurt. Which one will 1t
be, will depend upon the proof which is
promised to shortly appear.
Since receiving Judge Laubie's letter,
we have been endeavOring to account
for the contradiction on the points at
issue between the parties, in some way
that will be in accord with the high es-
TEEN in which we hold both these gen.
tlemen, and we can only do it on one
theory, and that is that Cornelius Ault-
man NEVER WROTE THAT LETTER, and
that it has been cOncOcted by some over
Jealous McKinleyite. The spirit and
tone of the letter is unlike the digni-
fed, conscientious and gentlemanly
Cornelius Aultman whom we know.

un-Aultman-like and puts forms of eX-
pressiOns in Judge Laubie's mouth that
even his most casual acquaintances can
not help but know are un-Laubie-like.
Moreover, there are statements in that
letter that carry their own cOntradic-
tiOn. Also statements that if Mr.. Ault-
man were to see, he would know were
untrue. For instance he is made to say:
And most emphatically deny that l
made any promise, directly or Indirect
ly, by implication, insinuatiOn, or in
timatiOn, that Major Mckinley would
not be candidate for Congress in 1882,
Now, whether he said it to Judge Lau-
bic or not, Mr.. Aultman knows, If he
will take the trouble to recall it, that
when he visited the Review Office in Mr
McKinley's interest in the spring OF
1880, he distinctly stated to the editor
Ol InlS paper, IndG Ill NIL MChlhley
asked was "a second nomination in the
old district" and that he would not be
a candidate again." 'Tis true he didn't
state that he spoke by authority of Nc
Kinley, nor was he asked the question
If Mr.. Aultman is the author of the
letter in question, which we do not be,
lieve, he must have only intended that
statement for little political taffy, tC
secure a certain point for Mckinley
and may have forgotten it. But we
shall be greatly surprised if Mr.. Ault
man don't put in disclaimer.-[ ALI

LEGISLATORS INDICTED AT COLUM-
BUS.

Two members of the Ohio Legislature
and one of the men alleged to have been
engaged in cOrrupting them, have been
indicted under the Bribery Law. So far
as it has gone, the Grand Jury of Frank
lin county seems to have done well,
though it has officially advertised the
disgrace of the Ohio. Legislature. The
House of Representatives might have
averted the scandal. 1t tolerated, and
even encouraged the cOrruptiOns for
nearly three months. 1t had early and
ample warning of the dangers that sur
rounded it. 1t was a matter of common
remark Immediately after the October
election last year that the Legislature
elect was composed largely of men who
could be Influenced" The projectors
Ofgigantic schemes of robbery were busy
in the nominating conventions, and after
the election bOasted that they had near
ly. if not quite, majority in their favor.
The lobby was glOTifed when the House
was organized. The bTibers flOcked to
Columbus, and the campaign of cOrTup-
tiOn Immediately opened. A few feeble
efforts to eXpel the lobby was promptly
crushed. The Legislature accepted the
Odium, and seemed to rather enjoy it. 1t
did not undertake to purge itself until
it was too late to save its character. 1t
will be historic in this generation as
the most scandalOus of General Assem-
blies.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1882-04-20

Mr.. Aultman, in long dreary letter
in the Alliance Standard, denies that he
arranged two years ago with Laubie,
that if he Uaubie) would stay off the
track and give Mckinley the swing then,
the latter would give Laubie the track
in 1882. Laubie is out in reply declar-
ing that Mr.. Aultman did so arrange for
Mckinley. There seems to have been
some sort of bargaining, and, Of course,
it was to smooth the way for the Major.
If Laubie was fooled two years ago he is
not to be fooled this year. Laubie is not
the only Republican who thinks the
Major should step aside. Mr.. Laubie
should inquire of Mr.. Aultman if he in
tends to keep his man Mckinley in Con-
gress from this district $50 long as they
both shall live" They cleaYe one tothe
other fondly. 1t seems to be a close
communion and no other distinguished
Republican in the district can get to the
table to sup the wine and taste the
bread. We fear Mr.. Aultman is inflexi-
BILE. and is determined to continue the
Major, as King George III. held to Lord
North. We suppose the Republicans OF
the district will continue obedient and
vote the ticketl

THE Republican majority in the House
at Columbus were driven into the st.
Smith trap by the Democratic minority,
as if they had been cattle.-Cincinnati
Commercial.
There it is againl The wicked Demo-
Gratis, though constituting only one
third of the General Assembly, are
wholly to blame for the villainOus and
fool legislation, including the lobby
bribery and all!
The innocent Republicans, though two
to one, are not to blame at all, according
to Republican journals. 1t is the same
old story. That piOus and lovely party
never does any wrong-in fact, cannot
do wrong. If they count in President
by perjury, forgery and fraud, it is not
wrong, but right. 1t would be very
wrong in Democrats, however. That
Star Route indicted swindler, Dorsey, is
still Secretary of the Republican Ma
tional COmmittee-but, of course, that is
all right. Was Dorsey, too, driven into
'trap" by Democrats?

FOR CONGRESS, VIM. A. LYNCH, OF
STARK.

The thorough contempt which the
LaubieMcKinley factions are develop
ing for each other, together with the
Chinese slavery veto of Arthur and the
Pond bill, make the chances of electing
trict more than even. A man of COM
manding abilities, who will OvershadOw
either Laubie or Mckinley, is all that is
needed for success. Such a man is Will
liam A. Lynch, of Canton. A lawyer of
the finest attainments, an eloquent ora
tor, and polished scholar, he is the one of
the District, who would be heard from
if sent to Washington. Let the Demo-
Gratis nominate Lynch, and they place
success within reach, but even defeat
with such a standard bearer would be a
credit to the party.-YOungstOwn Vim

The "worm of the still" gave the Re-
publican party their majority in the
present Legislature-gave them .Cincin-

familiarity and intimate acquaintance
with the worm of the stilr' on the part
of certain gentleman on the Republican

them to get votes enough to be elected

RECORD ON THE ANTI-CHINEsE BILL


The Anti-CoOlie bill was demanded by
the Democratic and Republican National
Conventions in their platforms in 1880,
and the candidates, in their letters of
acceptance, pledged themselves to favor
legislation of this character. The sus-
piciOn created by the MOrey letter, that
Republicans were playing double part
was Indignantly denied by their candi-
dates, party leaders and newspapers.
The Anti-CoOlie bill which President
Arthur vetoed, passed the Senate March
9th, by vote of twenty-nine to fifteen,
or one less than twO-thirds. OF the
Senators voting for the bill twenty-One
were Democrats and eight Republicans.
The negative vote stood thirteen Repub-
licans and one Democrat and one indie
pendent, Judge Davis, of Illinois. Nine
Republican Senators were paired on the
bill, who would have voted against it,
with nine Democrats in favor of it, so
that in full vote in the Senate there
would have been thirty-eight for the bill
and twenty-fOur against; and of the
affirmative vote there would have been
thirty Democrats and eight Republicans,
and against the bill twenty-five Repub-
licans, one Democrat and one Independ-
ent.
In the House of Representatives the
bill passed March %, by vote of one
hundred and sixty-seven ayes to sixty
five nays-cOnsiderably more than a
wO-thirds vote. Of the affirmative vote
one hundred and eight were Democrats
and fifty-nine Republicans. OF the ne
gative vote sixty-one were Republicans
and four Democrats.
The vote in the Senate on passing the
| bill over the Presidents veto, which
finally defeated the measure, counting
pairs announced, stood thirty-six votes
for the bill and twenty-eight against. OF
the votes for the bill thirty were Demo-
Gratis and six Republicans, and Of the
votes to sustain the veto and thus defeat
the bill, every one of the twenty-eight
Senators so voting are Republicans-ex-
cept Senator Davis, of Illinois. The vote
of the Senate in detail, was as follows:

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, dated
August 2, tells the following interesting
story; Between 12 O'Clock last night and
daylight to-day, two young gentlemen, one
the son of well-known General, who were
"taking in the town" by moonlight fell out
and decided to settle their difficulty with
pistols at ten PAGES. But 1t so happened
when the challenge was passed and accepted
both communications being verbal, only one
of the parties had friend present in whom
he could place implicit confidence. So the
two belligerents and the second of one of them
repaired to the room Of young gentleman,
whom they awoke and to whom they made
known their mission. Only q glance was
necessary to tell the half-asleep gentleman
that both principals in the to-be duel were
quite full of something beside fight, and with
smile he accepted the trust and began to
attire himself for trip to the battle field. !.
Alter leaving his room, the gentleman
learned the details but objected to pistols,
and finally induced the duelists to agree to a
fight la Sullivan-Ryan About daylight
the quartette reached the battle field, which
was an open lot near the jail, and in q few
seconds the principals had divested them
selves Of all superfiuous clothing, and at the
word went for each other in fine style.
Three rounds were necessary to settle the
affair. One was told that they were to fight
until time was calle, and as soon as he was
struck he called it.
