The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-03-26

THE Democratic nominee for City
Solicitor, Mr.. p. j. Collins, is one of the
most industrious and capable young
lawyers in the city. During the past
year he has made careful study of
municipal law, to be fully competent to
do excellent and satisfactory work for
the city. The administration of Mr..
Pomerene has been eninently success
full, and without exception, satisfactory.
The objection made against Mr. Collins,
that he is too young for so important a
trust, is not well taken. Mr. Pomerene
was a much younger man than Mr.. Col
Inns when he was first elected city solic.
tor, four years ago. Mr.. Pomerene's
administration has not only been thor
ough and able, but he has made
very economical administration.
The claim set up by some Repub-
licans that Thomas Turner is
much older lawyer and older
man is not meritorious. The efficiency
of the Office depends upon the zeal and
application of the official. 1t is well
known to all the members of the Can
ton bar that Turner relies largely upon
his mother wit and his more snowy gift
of gesticulation and mouth painting.
We need for city solicitor a careful,
industrious and energetic lawyer like
Collins, rather than a snowy, oratorical
advocate like the stylish and handsome
Thomas Turner. The business of the
Office is .one of detail, and If there is
anything that Turner despises it is de-
tail.
We are talking seriously now, and
knowing both Collins and Turner we'll,
their tastes, aspirations, capacities, etc.
we lsay unhesitatingly that Collins is
the best equipped man for the Office,
outside of all political considerations.

BURGLARS CAPTURED.
The Police Arrest Two Strangers This
Morning.
A Part of the Goods From Bohlen's Tailor
Shop Reoovered--The overcoat Taken
From Schaefer's Also Secured.

An arrest was made by Officers McCort
and McCurdy last evening which is of
more than usual import. For several
evenings past burglars have been having
things their own way. Saturday night
Bohlen's tailor shop was practically car
ried away, and Sunday night valuable
overcoat was stolen from Schaefer's tail
oring establishment in West Eighth street.
The police have been on the lookout and
last evening secured one Of the burglars,
and the overcoat stolen from Schaefer's.
Monday evening two men went into
Cavanaugh's saloon at the corner of Sax

bar, o sack containing $35. The men then
made their escape. Earlier in the day a
revolver was stolen from behind the
bar Of the saloon of Matthews & Cava-
naugh, at No. "a South Cherry street. This
was also done during the temporary alb
sence OF the proprietor.
The police officers were notified of both
of these thefts, and at 2 80 this morning,
Officers McCort and McCurdy succeeded
in arresting one of the men in box car
near the Bucher Il Gibbs plow works. He
had with him the revolver taken from
Matthews q Cavanaugh's saloon, and $18

saloon.
At police headquarters he gave his name

burg. In company with another man of
the same stripe he has been loafing around
Pat Cavanaugh's place since last Thurs
day. He was taken to Jail where he is now
confined.
At 10 o'clock this morning Marshal
Gentry who had been quietly working on
the case, arrested the second burglar near
the Ft. Wayne bridge in the West end of
the city. When brought to police head
quarters, he gave his name John Doxe and
said that his partners name is not
Brennan, but Harry George and that tho
halls from La Trobe, near Pittsburgh.
Doxe and he came to canton together and
have been begging and living as best they
could until the haul was made Saturday
night.
Doxe says he had nothing whatever to
do with either of the burglaries, but was
asked by George to accompany him and
keep watch. Doxe, however, states that
he refused TO go. Some tell-tale tracks
near Shaefer's window show that there
were two men and that one wore rubbers
and had small foot. This fits Doxe to
dot. There is, therefore clear case
against both men, and justice will be dealt

PRESIDENT seurREs AND McKIN.

The Cincinnati Times Star is dis
gruntled because President Squires of
the Republican League Clubs of Ohio
does not think we'll of Mckinley as the
candidate for Governor. In emitting
its encouragement the Times-Star
says:
"This fault-6nding with Mckinley
breaking out here and there, does not
deceive as many people as the enter
prising politicians who prompt 1t may
think are bamboozled."
Now this is real unkiDd. We know
President Squires well. We knew him
before his present dizzy elevation, and
when he was a private citizen. He Is
not bamboozling. He is not talking
for fun or fame. He was at the Toledo
banquet ard supped on the chilled soup
from the bowels of the long dead sea
turtle, and he heard Mckinley crate at
2:30 a. m. to the boozy banqueters.

THE MAF1A MURDERS.
Gov. Nichols Sends Secretary Blaine q
Very Unsatisfactory Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 24.-[Spe-
cial. ]-Secretary Blaine to-day received a
letter from Gov. Nichols, OF Louisiana,
dated March 2lst. The letter is singularly
non-committal and very unsatisfactory.
He merely acknowledged the receipt of
plores affairs and hoped that the Italian
subjects would be projected. Gov. Nichols
says he presumes this hope OF the Presi-
dent was based on the presumption that
the men killed we're Italian subjects. As
to this Nichols says two or three may have
been, but he Is not sure. He presumes
that the grand jury is now considering the
Fava, the Italian Minister, without COM
mant.

John N. Ramsey on the Mellin-
ger-Dougherty Assault
g. V. L. NJ M'llinger Purchases q 81
vOlver.
A Meeting Held at the Hurford--Mr.
Ramsey Makes Some Very Queer State
ments and Asks to be Excused.

The attack made on Gen. /. II. Sherwood
yesterday afternoon by G. V. l.. Meilinger
and G. A. Dougherty was the talk of the
town last night. Quite crowd gathered
at the Hurtord and talked over the affairs
of the day. There were some hot headed
individuals In the party who thought the
proper thing for Dougherty aud Mellinger
would be 10 shoot Gen. Sherwood on sight.
Others advised against such course and
a leading Republican said IL anyone would
show Gen. Sherwood that his paper had
done them an injustice, he would be the
first one to retract.
After being refused revolver at the
Miller hardware company, Mr.. Mellinger
went TO G. C.. Snyder's establishment in
East Tuscarawas street, and purchased a
double action revolver, paying 81 for the
same. IL Is supposed that Mr.. Mellinger
still carries this revolver.
On account of the talk caused by the as
sault, a NEws-DEMooRAT reporter this
morning started out to interview Mr.. John
N. Ramsey, Republican candidate for
Mayor.
The gentleman was seen on the Public
Square and was informed that the News
DEMOCRAT desired to interview him re-
gariing the assault of yesterday.
"What do you think Of the assault made
on Gen. Sherwood yesterday by Messrs.
Dougherty and Mellinger ?" was the first
question.
"I know nothing about II except what 1
read in the NEws-DEMooRAT," was the
answer.
"Did you not read the account published
In the Repository"
mo did not" was the answer.
The reporter informed him that in the
interview with Mr.. Mellinger published in
that paper last night, IL was admitted that
he had said he would brain Mr.. Frazer.
"Supposing that statement to be true,
would you uphold such an action 2n was
then asked of Mr.. Ramsey.
"All good citizens know where l stand
on such matters and you should know that
would not" was the answer.
VI do not for a minute suppose you
such a statement, yet l would prefer 10
have you say just where you stand," said
the reporter.
II do not care to commit myself and dc
not think you ought to ask me at this
time" was the reply of Mr.. Ramsey.
You can simply say that was non
committal," continued Mr.. Ramsey.
" will have 10 publish Just what you
have said Mr.. Ramsey as informed you
in the start that was interviewing you,'
answered the newspaper man.
At this point the interview was cut short
by the arrival of Theodore Voges, Sr., who
seemed to delight in answering questions
put to Mr.. Ramsey. Mr.. Voges, Sr., ven.
tured the information that II any news
papers made any remarks about shim he
would not shoot them, but would thrash
them. A copy of the NEws-D DEMOCRAT
only costs two cents and anyone that de
sires to thrash it can do so to his hearts
content. While the NEWS DEMOCRAT Is
printed on good paper IL would be impos
sible to beat 1t as hard as an able bodied
man would pound the dust out of a carpet
