The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1883-06-27
WHAT THE GERMANS SAY OF 1T.

The following editorials appeared Fri
day morning in the Cincinnati VOlks-
freund DemOcratic) and the Cincinnati
VOlksblatt Republican):
The VOlksfreund says: "The Demo-
cratic convention has solved its problem
in the most excellent manner, by plae-
ing Judge HOadly as candidate for Gov
ernOr at the head of the ticket. His
nomination will be received with great
enthusiasm and with just pride both by
Democrats and by the numerous inde-
pendent voters throughout the State,
for HOadly is, beyond question, the most
brilliant representative which the DEM
Ocraey of Ohio to day possesses.
Judge HOadly is held in the highest
esteem, and Is popular to rare degree,
not only in his own county, but also in
the whole State. Everywhere men re-
cOgnize his splendid abilities, his noble,
irreprOachable character and his out
spoken liberality. In the present pecu-
liar situation in Ohio, where the Repub
lican party, by its shameful alliance
with pietistieal bigOtry, has alienated
the sympathies of all liberal minded
citizens, especially of the whole German
element, no man can gain their unani-
nous support as HOadly can. Judge
HOadly has always been the most faith
full and Jealous defender of the cause of
personal liberty; on the temperance and
Sunday questions he takes the strict
| German position, and by nominating
him, more than by any other thing, the
Democratic party has demonstrated that
IL Is unalterably opposed to the efforts Of
the temperance men and fanatics, and is
resolved to defeat them. With Judge
HOadly at the head of the ticket,
the Democratic party has brighter
prospects of triumphant victory
| in October than it has ever had. There
Is not even a shadow of doubt that,
in virtue of his great popularity, his
eminent gifts, and his acknowledged
| liberty, Judge HOadly. will command the
united support of the democracy as well
as poll the great independent vote, and
thus insure the most brilliant success
the coming election"
The VOlksblatt says: after hot and
bitter struggle, such as is seldom made
| for mere state nomination, Judge Geo.
| HOadly triumphed in the second ballot
/ of yesterdays convention over his COM
| petitOrs and opponents. His nOmina-
| tiOn for the office of Governor, and thus
as the standard bearer of the democratic
| party, Is for two reasons a significant
and joyous event. In the first place, it
is victory for the younger, freer, and
more progressive element of the demo
| cratic party over the old, narrow mind
ed, bigOted bOurbOnism, which, to the
| injury of the democratic party and the
country, has so long ruled in its cOun-
ellis. And secondly, this nomination is
a triumph of the cause of personal lib
erty, of which the population of the en-
tire state recognizes Mr.. HOadly as the
most able defender and the most faith
full adherent among all democratic poll
ticians. This special Significance of
| HOadly's nomination has of late been Te-
peatedly discussed so thoroughly by the
VOlk5blatt, that it is scarcely necessary
to add anything to what we have already
said. IL is. therefore, matter of course
that the nomination of HOadly will be
most jOyfully and cordially received
by the liberal portion of the democratic
party and Independent voters, and will
be most ZealOnsly supported by them.
HOadly>is by far the ablest, the best and
the strongest candidate whom the dem
Ocratic party could have chosen as its
leader in the impending conflict, and
the most dangerous opponent for the
Republican party"
Friday the Cincinnati Anyiger
said: THE Democratic state cOnyen-
tiOn has chosen Judge HOadly as its cam
didate for the gOverneTship, and has
thereby made the best and the strong
est nomination possible under the cir
cumstances."
