FAREWELL, a word that must be-"
We cannot follow our good friends into
Ehe LOuSehaefer- Repository camp, and
hence must bid them good bye. May
they have a happy time. When they
get ready to come back, if ever, they will
ind the Democratic lateh-string out.
We are forgiVing family. No doubt
Mr. Fawcett will try to smoothe the way
and make it pleasant; but the Opera
man is an uncertain cuss.

MAND good Republicans have reached
the conclusion that the best thing that
could happen the Republican party
would be a defeat. 1t is the only way
to get rid of the CamerOns, Robesons,
Chambers, Hubbells and Keifers, who
are just now riding the party to ruin at
headlOng speed.

FOSTER and the Republican leaders of
Ohio are going to try the temperance
game this fall. With that view, they
are bowling that the brewers are giving
the Democratic Committee $4,000 cam
paigne money! OF course they know
there is no truth in their yarn, but they
care nothing for that.

THE Democratic State Executive Com
mittee at Columbus have opened rooms

THE talent and ability of two law
firms were on the side of the Opera man;
and, backed and prodded by himself,
captured the Council. Of course there
was big stake, but the city of Canton
is robbedl Let the real schemers receive
due and proper dis-credit.

The Rep. and its Opera editor got a
great victory in the Council on Monday
evening. Three Republicans and five
Democrats, voting together make eight,
which beats six. In the electoral com
mission eight beat seven. But the
Sehaefer infamy bill can be repealed

Two WEEKS ago last Monday evening,
Gr. Fawcett was eloquent in declaring
the Schaefer license bill legal and
right; but last Monday evening his Ju-
dietary Committee made a material
change, thus acknowledging all we
claimed about the infamous bill. They
lid not dare to pass it as first voted on
at two readings. If it was right before
why change it?
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1882-08-10

IT will be seen by reference to our re-
port of the Council proceedings, that
Eawcett champiOned the LouSchaefer
men, and Messrs. Sherriek and Warner
the unterrihed. 1t must have been in
taresting to see certain of our friends
meekly following the fowery Fawcett.

THE Prohibition Convention of this
county have adopted two of the nomi-
nees of the Pond law party-Barber, for
InfirmaTy Director, and DR.. G. B. Cock
FOR Coroner. Why did they not swallow
the whole animule, head as we'll as tail?
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1882-08-10

THE Cleveland Leader is much trou-
bled about the Christian Sabbath. Not
so the Repository. 1t don't borrow trou-
BILE about anything Christian. 1t is quite
easy on such things. Happy Repository
1t feels good over the victory Of its Opera
editor, however.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1882-08-10

GOVERNOR FOSTER delivered his open
ing speech at Elyria, Lorain county,
last week. He knew his locality, and
will doubtless change his tune as cir
cumstances require, for the Governor
can adapt himself to his company. He
can play on the st. Smith pipe; and can
take hand with the "boys." Charlie
is an adjustable man. In fact, his party
is an adjustable machine.

THE spoilsmen in the House Uttered
and laughed when the veto message was
read where the President said the more
Objectionable bill was the more sup
port it secured. This is the way cOrrup-
tion spreads and cOntaminates. Would
chat men of principle were our principal
mani

REPUBLICAN journals are well pleased
with Jay HubbelPs "brl," but savage at
the loss of the brewers keg. Governor
Foster calls the brewers TRAITORS" this
year because he and his committee can
aot bleed them to the tune of $4,000.

Do not forget the Democratic Primary

READ the Opera ordinance in this pa
per and compare with the original in
last weeks DEMocRAT, and see how the
legal luminaries of the Council, the
Opera man included, were driven from
their original stand by the DEM
oCRAT. They were greatly alarmed and
FASTENED to get up a new bill. Their
followers, of course, were ready to vote
for anything required.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR, like man, vetoed
the River and HarbOr bill, but it got the
requisite two-thirds vote in each House,
1913 to 60 in the House; and Al to 10 in
The Senate, thus becoming a law.

THE Opera editor of the Repository
controls the Council for his own emolu-
ment, and robs the city. The STARK Co.
DEMOCRAT defends the right. and vindi-
Gates those who, like good men and true,
swerve not from public duty to serve
any mans greed.

CONGRESSMAN MCKINLEY was renomi-
mated for Congress for the fourth term by
his convention at ALLIANCE yesterday. Mr..
Glen. Russell, of Massillon, got his ten

The Leader is a specimen of purity,
and its Guiteau, Star route party, of
course is! The Leader and its confreres
are busy charging that the Democratic
Committee have been receiving money
from the brewers; but it hurts when it
is charged that last year the Republi-
can Committee got $4,000 from that
source. Of course, there is no truth
whatever in the statement as to the
Democratic Committee; but the denial
of it will have no effect on the Leader
and such
