The Democrats Of Canton have the
right 10 feel jubilant. The victory
achieved yesterday 10 brilliant one,
and apart from mere party triumph,
II possesses deep significance, The
vote was lighter than either party ex.
peeted, This In itself proves conclu'
slyely that the alleged dissatisfaction
with the Democratic control OF the
city had no substantial existence. The
pseudo grievances concocled and dis.
charged from the feeble Fourth street
blunderbuss did not arouse the faithful,
The Republicans we're quiescent, They
reposed peacefully, and could not be
persuaded by paper pellets, TO inaugu.
rate the freuzled revolution, invoked
by their party hacks. Had there been
truth or honesty Of purpose In the drl.
vel and dIatribe, good and intelligent
citizens would have rescued municipal
control from such polluted hands.
There was the opportunity presented
the Republicans yesterday to have
wrested this city out Of It's proper par
ty control, had they come forth, and
the Democrats remained away as they
did, But the Republican intelligent
element could not be deceived. The
regulation ward workers and strikers
of their party did the voting,
The absentee Democrat vote was
due TO confidence In the result, and
laziness. 1t requires frlc'
tion to inspire the party fire, and there
was none produced.
