The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1883-09-12
THE pEMocRATIO TICKET.
Its Personal Make Up All that Can
Required.

election day, and it is time for all good
citizens of Stark county to consider their
duty as such.
Last October, Stark county gave James
W. Newman, for Secretary of State,
426 majority, and we ought to improve
this fall on these figures. Let our friends
rally to the polls, and we may double 1t.
The readers of the DEMOCRAT have
heard more or less about the gentlemen
nominated for State positions, and know
there is an earnest determination to
give HOadly and the rest a boom in Stark
to aid their triumphant election.
Our district and county candidates are
equally worthy and equally entitled to
our cordial support. For State Senator
we have
DR.. j. V. LEWIS, of Alliance, a gentle
man of ability and character in the
prime and vigOr of life, not yet forty
years of age. His personal popularity
wherever he is known give us confidence
that he will be the next Senator from
Carroll and Stark.
L. c. COLE, ESQ, and JOHN MCBRIDE
are our candidates for Representatives.,
the former being Mayor of MassillOn and
an attorney in good standing. Mr.. Nc
Bride is wOrkingman of good intelli-
gence and prominent in the Miners
Union and Knights of Labor, holding
responsible positions in both. 1t will
thus be seen that both gentlemen enjoy
the confidence of their friends and
heighbOrs, certainly worthy endorse
ment. We expect to see them elected by
handsome majOrities and are confident
they will acceptably discharge atheir
duties.
P. L. MANLY, the nominee for Auditor
is man who has also come from the
working ranks. Some years ago he filed
for one term the Recorders Office accept.
ably, and if elected, will equally well
attend to the duties of the Auditors
Office. Mr.. Manly's popularity over the
county insure him an earnest support
from wOrkingmen and all others.
ANDREW PONTIUs, ESQ, is so well and
faVOrably known all over the county
that mere mention only is necessary.
He has filled various public positions,
though was never elected to county
office. In old Democratic Plain he has
served many years as Justice of the
Peace, and has ever been a useful man.
He is known too, as one of our substan-
tial farmers, and enjoys deserVedly the
full confidence of all who know him.
When elected he will be the right man
in the right place.
JOHN MCGREGoR, the candidate for
Clerk, thinks he can fill the bill and dis
charge the duties of the position. If
elected, he will give to the office his un-
divided attention and treat all with
proper courtesy and consideration. He
is thirty-eight years of age; was horn in
Canton, and hence, has had some OppOr-
tunity to know and be known through
out Stark county.
Mr.. JAMES LEE, our candidate for
Sheriff, has been a resident of MassillOn
| for many years, and is popular with all
classes. He has, too, the confidence of
| business men and all others who enjoy
| his acquaintance. When elected and
installed, Mr.. Lee will make an atten.
tive and popular Sheriff, aud be wOr-
| thy successor to Sheriff Altekruse. We
hope to see the line of Democratic sue
cession continued, in the person Of
James Lee.
| ALONZo SMITH, our nominee for COun-
| ty Commissioner, is a solid farmer of
Perry township, born and brought up
in the county. He is a man of intelli-
gence and integrity, and just the man to
serve as County Commissioner. This
has got to be an important office in Stark
county, and farmers, business men, and
all others should see that AlOnzO Smith
is elected.
WILLIAM H. MARTIN is our candidate
for County Surveyor. He is competent,
and after being elected and serving
three years, will have more experience
than now. Vote for Martin.
JOSEPH MAUDRU of Washington town
ship, is merchant at Strasburgh, and
received the nomination for Infrmary
Director. No more suitable and worthy
man could have been nominated in the
county for that or any other position.
All who know Mr.. Maudru appreciate
his worth.
The Democracy of Stark county, it
will be seen, have ticket that should
receive a hearty and cordial support.
Let our friends then on the 9th of OctO-
Der vote the whole ticket without a
scratch. Our political opponents are re-
sorting to all sorts of unworthy and
false tales to save their Star route party
from another overthrow. The elections
of last year showed cOnelusively that
the People were not with them. The
Republican party has done nothing
since to redeem its bad name.
