The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1890-06-05
arvn us A MAN or STARK,


The Medina Sentinel thinks Stark
county should not have the nominee
for Congress because we are not united
on man,
There is no good sense in this propo-
sItiOn,
No one man owns the Democracy OF
Stark county, and we have no Demo
orat who stands upon 80 high a pedes-
tal that all the balance OF the party
feel like falling upon their knees ang
shouting aloud, "Thls ia the man
The Democratic party is an entirely
different organization from the i'epup'
lIean party, The Republican nominee
is selected usually by few leading OF
ganIzera OF the party, ana u chosen
with view Of securing the noh'
doodle" for the campaign ana the
most booty for the gang WHO arc Ihe
instruments OF his election
The Democratic party Ia tho party OF
the people, and we must hear from
the people before We can make eholoe
of our candidate,
We have plenty Of good strong hlek'
ory timber In Stark county suitable TOT
tho House, and after our county con
yentIon has fniAhed ita work, we may
be enabled 10 record the popular choice
for Congress,
But because we cannot name man
In advance Ia no reason why the Mo.
dina Sentinel should count US out OF
the race,
We beg leave to inform the Medina
Sentinel, aud all others In Interest, thal
the Democracy OF stark county 10 en-
titled 10 a respectful hearing In thiS
controversy, without large gains IN
Stark county last November Medina
would atill be In the land OF Republican
sorrow, and the 10Th Congressional
district of to-day would not be In OK
iatenee.
Last November the Democracy OF
stark achieved the most substantial
and signal victory In the history Of the
county. We made the gain In stark
that won q Democratic senator IN q
Republican senatorial district, and en-
abled the Democrats TO rediatrict the
state, and place the Democracy OF MO
dina county where they can hold up
their heads, II III becomes the Demo
cratic organ OF Medina county TO make
wry faces at Us sole benefaetor, We
don't believe that the masses OF the
Democratic party Of Medina county
feel like dlscrediting our claims for
preferment because we have an abun'
dance OF available talent.
We are not disposed to act the hog
giah part, but we plead for fair treat
ment and fair play, whether we have
Ave candidates for Congress, or only
one. The outside counties should re-
member that this is the home OF VII
liam Mckinley Jrp and that
he 10 the agent In Congress
of all the monopolists ana
trust sharks In the United states, That
he Is backed by all the money that he
can use, to corrupt and debauch the
voters of this district, That his tariff
bill, which has passed the House Of
Representatives, is fortified at every
point TO command the united support
Of every special interest that has fat
tened and viii continue TO grow fat on
the substance drawn by the inslduous
operations of law from the loins OF
labor, the earnings Of the masses, and
the slim profits Of legitimate business
pursuits,
Mckinley has bought his election In
a Democratic district before, and he
proposes to do II again.
We assume that every honest earnest
Democrat In this district wants to see a
sure winner named ut 0rryille; no mat
ter where he takes his meals and finds
n home.
We believe stark county can name
a sure winner, and believing this, we
have no patience with the theory that
because we cannot name q man In
advance Of the convention, we are out
Of the race. Let our Democratic
friends in Medina and Wayne aud
Holmes hold themselves In readiness to
see what we have TO offer at Oryille,
with an eye single to the success Of the
nomine; and be prepared to vote for
the strongest candidate
