The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1883-06-27

icent specimen of physical manhood,
being over six feet tall and weighing
246 pounds. He is probably the hand
soonest man on the ticket. He is forty
1iye years of age, and has been a resident
or Troy, Miami county. for years, where
ne has been business man of standing
and reputation. Six years ago he was
elected clerk of the common pleas court,
and has served two terms. Though the
county is oft times Republican, Mr.
CTuikshank's ability was so we'll known,
and he was so generally popular he was
elected by large majOrities both times.
He writes hand that Spencerian sys-
tenn would almost be enviOus of, and
Major Frank Mckinney is authority for
the statement that he made the best
county clerk in the state, and the most
efficient aud popular Clerk Miami cOun-
ty ever had. Lawyers and others hav-
ing business in the supreme court after
the nrst or January next will be happy
to meet him there.
JAS. LAWRENCE FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Hon. James Lawrence, the Young
Democratic eagle from CuyahOga cOun-
ty, the nominee for Attorney General,
comes from old Democratic stock, his
rather having been a member of Con-
gress from the old Guernsey district be-
fore the war. He is now thirty-tWO
years of age. He studied law at Cam
bridge. o., with Hon. j. w. White, and
was admitted to the bar in 1874, when
he located in Cleveland, and at once be-
came leader in CuyahOga county poll
tics, being fOndly referred to as the
pride OF the young Democracy. As an
attorney he has shown signs OF marked
ability, and ranks high at the Cleveland
bar. He had made no canvass, neither
had his friends. When it seemed that
the deadlock between DOugherty and Ir-
vine could not be broken. a happy idea
struck the Cleveland delegates, and his
name was presented as a balm that
would heal all wounds, and insure a
Democratic majority of 1900 in the old
hOtbed of Republicanism, now redeem
ed by the Democracy. Lawrence was
nominated for the Legislature two years
ago. when he was defeated, the CleYe-
landers having the bad taste to send
down the HOdge-Billy Bloch delegation
instead of the honest democrats presen-
ted. Lawrence is undoubtedly very
popular, and will poll big vote in the
Western Reserve.
EMIL KIESEwETTER FOR STATE AUDITOR.
Had all the rest of the ticket been bad
the nomination of Emil Kiesewetter, of
franklin, for Auditor of State, would
have been bright, Tedeeming spot. Mr..
kiaseWetter Is 81 years of age, entered
the union army, and though mere boy,
was brave and gallant soldier. AS his
name indicates, he is German, having
been born in SaxOny, and removing to
this country when year old. He is to-
day the most popular man with the Ger
man element in Columbus. He has for
a long time held the responsible position
of bOOkkeeper with the great manufac-
turing establishment of 2. Hayden &
Co. His first dash In city politics was
eight or nine years ago, when he was
elected to the city council, where he dis
himself as wise and judic-
ious municipal legislator. Six years
ago he was elected county auditor over
Levi L. Strader, one of the most popular |
in Franklin county. There |
was bare democratic majority that |
year, but Mr.. KiesewetteF was elected by |
over 1000 majority, and was reelected |
by nearly the same vote. He is an ele- |
CANT mixer, one of the most genial and
fellows in the world, and
a true blue democrat. His nomination
is a compliment to the Germans, a com
pliment to the central portion of the
state, and tribute to deserving demo
crat. "Kiesey," as he is Familiarity |
known, will lead the ticket in the thir- |
teenth Congressional district by $500 |
votes.
PETER BRADY FOR STATE TREASURER.
Peter Brady, the choice for state treas
urer, is particularly happy selection.
Mr.. Brady was born in Ireland about
forty years ago, and removed with his
parents to Ohio when he was four years
old. He began poor boy, but by his
own eXeTtiOns is now one of the prOmi- |
nent citizens of his adopted state, and |
hOnOred by the party of which he has |
been an answering member, by being |
placed on the ticket. Mr.. Brady resides |
in Bellevue, Sandusky, where he is a |
prominent merchant. He was elected |
mayor of the town four successive terms |
and resigned during his last term to go |
to the Legislature. He has served for |
the past two winters in the sixty-fifth |
General Assembly, where he stood with |
the gallant band of democrats, and pro. |
tested against the sumptuary and un- |
acts of the majority of |
that body. He is fit representative |
Of the Irish race, and a tower of |
strength to the ticket.
