WE WANT LIVING ISSUES.

Ancient history ought to cut but o
small figure in this campaign. There
is enough of the present to occupy all
our attention. This is big couptry, u
wonderfully big country, and there are
present issues enough between the At
lantic and the Paciac, and between The
Lakes and the Gulf, to keep us oil busy
without invading the tombs Of thepast.
This Is q campaign of ideas, and these
ideas are not born Of hard. cider, or pet.
riiied coon skins.
The Democratic party isnow on trial.
It Is not necessary to 30 back = quar-.
ter OF century to know what
that party proposes. IL stands
before the country as living vitalized
proposition. 1t has made q record and
is making record every day. II asks
to be Judged by that record.
-Four years ago we were told, with
great eloquence and ability and con
tinuity that IL the Democratic party
obtained mower In this country all our
industrial institutions would be paraliz'
ed; our furnaces would cease to smoke;
our buzz.saws would quit whizzingi
our laboring men would be converted

THE twin boiler plates, the Canton
Rep and the Masslllon Independ'
cut, appear badly disAgured over the
recent 0oppers In the Republican par
ty at MassilOn and Canton. While
the Rep was making a Violent
effort to llft Us editorial idlocy above
It's accustomed plane Of indecency, In
accounting for DR., Douds as u convert
from Prohibition, the Independent was
trying 10 dissect the causes for the de-
paiture of the Rev. Mr., Dresbach. For
some reason TO us unknown, the Mass
illou Independent seems TO think the
Ews.DEMocRAT Is responsible for
these conversions to the ranks cf n vic
torius Democracy; else we should not
be treated TO such an iudigcreet blast Of
blackguardism as the following from
the Independent Of yesterday;

temper. They will need all their lin
tied array Of fortitude, for the sad days
of the coming November.

TIE Evening Repository has inau.
gurated new system to brace up the
campaign. II has commenced to pub.
lish cards from those Republicans who
propose TO vote for Harrison this fall,
This is quite anovel idea, but II has
merit. II will tend TO give steadiness
and fortitude to the wavering lines. A
son of DIR. Douds is out in card In
Saturdays Repository, in which he de.
clares that Notwithstanding the fact
that he is a Republican, hestill proposes
TO vote for General Harrison. There
are others, doubtless, in the spirit Of
recklessness, who win do the same
thing. Let them be heard from. The
NEWS. DEMOCRAT will print cards Of
this character not to exceed ten lines

Mr. IL. q. Mcdowell states he has not
sold his wool, as announced In the DEN.
ocRAT. We very cheerfully make the
correction. We obtained our lnforma.
ton as 10 Mr.. McDowell's sale Of his
wool from q reliable source, but we be.
lleye Mr.. Mcdowell when he says he
did not sell. This does great credit to
his business sagacity. He evidently
was only talking for effect when he said
the Mills bill would depreSs the wool
market. II ke had believed what
he said NJ the time
he would certainly have dis,
posed OF his clip, The fact that lie
held on shows that he never believed
that The Mills bill would depress prices
Ills talk doubtless induced others TO
sell, but OF course that did not cost him
anything. The claim made by Mr., Nc.
Dowell now, that the proposed Senate
bin has revived prices is not well found.
cd as the price Of wool commenced TO
advance before any Senate bill was ever
heard Of. In fact there never has been
any Senate bill, and Is not any now.
There is report that the Senate may
report a bill, and that is ALL Mr.. Nc
Dowell has injured his case by his card

THERE may be some people in Can
ton who are interested in the way the
son Of Doctor Douds will vote, but we
are Of the opinion had that young man
cracked between the eyes the emf
sary who secured his signature 10 the
card, that appeared in Saturdays
"Boiler plate" instead Of signing IL, he
would have been more worthy of his
fathers pride, and less apt, In future
years, TO regret 80 indiscreet n move.
The son may differ politically from the
parent, but he should not permit de-
signing knsyes and selfish ghouls, TO
place the first brick In the pathway Of
lillal estrangement. a.

JOURNALISTIC coURTEsIHs.

THE Masslllon Independent is much
improved In style and sprightliness
since II commenced to peruse and per
sue the NEWS s.DEMoCRAT with 80 much
energy. The editorials are more crisp
and It is far fiom being "nauseating
fraud" sinceit adopted the point" sys.
tenn. In the Independent Of yesterday
nearly all the editorials are devoted TO the
NEWS. DEMOCRAT, with one somewhat
fulsome paragraph on our editor. We
feel battered with these remarkable at.
tentions, and are highly tlckled that
we have touched sensitive chord In
the breast Of the Independent young
man In our "pome" on Old Mexico.
The reference 10 the "willowy, win.
some senorites" Of that land where the
jabbering monkeys hang by their tails
IN Mango trees, seems to have Modified
his somewhat acrimonious political ma
ture. We fear, however that the car.
toon in to.day's NEws-DEMooRAT will
rile his juvenile sensibilities TO
the point of again denounclpg us as a
"nauseating fraud" We must not for
get TO mention that we stand charged
by the Independent with having
printed eighteen columns Of
boiler plate on Saturday last.
We have not counted the chunks, but
are willing to plead guilty. Our much
diSesteemed evening contemporary Of
Canton ilrea off from 1S TO 20 columns
daily Of this pesky stuff upon an un-
suspecting public, and certainly we can
be pardoned II we only produce l9 col
umns, once in thirty days. Our 1nde.
pendent young man will observe that
we did not charge anything for 1t, nor
did we mention editorially the tremen-
dous enterprise Of q double sheet, boiler
plate issue, all for two cents. We are
modest Neither do we seek TO bring
discredit upon the craft by having q
hired man perambulate Stark county
endeayoring to trade boiler plate mat
ter In ,cedkly dilutions for onions. We
trust our Independent young man, who
claims TO be for Protection, will warn
his customers against this most afro
cious innovation by the Canton boiler
plate. M

This is based upon the theory that
Mr. Meyer, a Democrat, who isnow em-
ployed to perambulate stark county In
the interest of the Weekly Boiler Plate,
and Is endeavorlng to trade II for
onions and old rags, will succeed IN his
mission. There Is theory Of law that
you cannot do by indirection that which
is unlawful to do by direct action, and
we are Of the opinion that the same
rule will he held as morally sound In
political action. The theory that hir-
ing q well known Democrat TO canvass
for the Weekly Boiler Plate is going TO
deceive any Of the solid yeomanry Of
Stark county, is not based on good
Judgment. The friends Of honesty and
honest business methods are right

The dispatches from Maine compare
the vote with 1885, instead Of 1884.
Thisis trick on the part Of the Blaine
manipulators of news, in order TO show

compared with the September vote in
1884, Presidential year In September,
1884, the Republican majority was
1000. This year 1t will be several
thousand below those figures, notwith-

THE Republican National Executive
Committee held q protracted meeting
In New York on Thursday to discus5
Gen. Harrison's letter Of acceptance,
Ex.Gov. Foster, OF Ohio, who spent
much time with Harrison at Middle
Bass island, said Gen, Harrison had en-
deavored TO make his letter Of accept
ance brief and TO avoid saying anything
that could be twisted into n contradic'
ton OF the Republican platform, or re-
qulre explanations. His task has not
been an easy one, and II has been fur
ther complicated by the action Of the
Republican Senator'S In deciding TO re-
port q tariff reduction bill. Chairman
Quay thought Harrison should write
his letter now, without utany'reference TO
the recent action Of the Senate, or to
what Mr.. Blaine has said on the stump.
It is even asserted by intimate friends
of Col. Quay that he has urged General
Harrison to hurry up his letter of ac'
ceptance and get II out before the SEN
ate reported n tariff bill, with o view
possibly of heading off that measure
When the committee adjourned there
was a general, feeling Of disgust at the
Republican Senator'S for putting them
In such q hole.
