II Democrats had been out as well al
our opponents, or had voted the entire
Democratic ticket.
II 10 needless 10 refOr to the cause, OF
causes, that lead to the result. Many Of
us are wiser after election; and one can
500 then what he failed to fully realize
b. fore. The Republicans deserve credit
for the work they got In for Rex; but
we cannot say as much for the fooliah
Democrats that helped them. Not be-
lieving In crying over spilled milk, we
never whine over results; but like a true
philosopher accept the situation. Re-
publican Mayors Of Canton have been
dismal and sad failures In the past, 80
acknowledged by all. II 10 to be hoped
10 the case Of George Rex, II will prove
otherwise. Capacity for such position
Ia as important as integrity, and this
will be shown within the next two years.
While we do not believe the best man
has won we have no reflections TO throw
at George Rex, hoping he will prove
competent and worthy, and fair In all
respects, as we doubt not he will try TO
be In all cases, II he will depend on
himself.
II Ia proper TO say here that II was by
no personal unpOpulaTity of Captain
Blake that Mr., Rex was elected. Mr..
Blake received the nomination after u
severe contest, Mayor Plero being con-
testant for third term. This left re'
suits that had their effect, and contrib
uted TO the election Of Rex, The fact
that Mayor Piero had had his two terms,
aud had been we'll treated by The party,
was not considered nor regarded, as II
surely should have been. The Gppea
also to Democrats employed In the
Buckeye Works, whore Mr.. Rex has been
q workman aud foreman for many
years, was not without effect, for II
must be admitted that George Rex has
ever commanded the respect OF all who
knew him. George will soon enter up
on q new Aeld-ior him-and II he will
depend on himself, and be, In fact the
Mayor Of Canton, we shall expect an
