The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-10-15
1T LOOKS BAD FOR MCKINLEY.

The result of three days voting is
printed, in which an aggregate of 2,4S3
votes were polled. In the first day SOC
votes were cast, rs follows: for Camp
bell $50; for Mckinley 1856; for Ashen-
hurst, Pro. q; and for Seitz, Peoples
party, 3.
The second day 1899 votes were poll
ed, as follows: for James E, Campbell
7O3; for Mckinley 432; for Ashenhurst
46, and for Seitz IS.
On the Sd day sos votes were polled,
as follows: for Jas. E. Campbell AIS;
for VIM. Mckinley 246; for Ashen-
hurst 10, and for Seitz Is.
The remarkable feature of this vot
ing is not that more Democratic votes
were cast than Republican, but the fact
that in an aggregate Democratic vote
of about 1926, James e. Campbell polls
92 more votes than the balance of the
Democratic State ticket, while Wm.
Mckinley, in an aggregate Republican
vote Of 926, polls 62 less
votes than Harris, the Rep. candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor.
This is loss of 154 to Mckinley on an
aggregate vote of 2,483.
The total vote of Ohio, in 1890 for
Secretary of State, was 742,1s7. Proba-
bly, that many votes will be cast this
year. Now let us carry the per cent Of
McKinley's loss in the three days vot-
ing in Dayton into the aggregate vote
of the state. We find that the loss Of
154 votes out of an aggregate of 2,4S3,
amounts to 46,032 votes, on the aggre-
gate vote of the state, 742, 1877, as cast in
1890.
In other words, should the Demo
cratic vote and the Republican vote Of
Ohio be even on the state ticket,
then Campbell would beat Nc
Kinley by a majority of
46,O32 on the ratio of his gain, in the
voting at Dayton.
But this is not the most accurate way
to figure the loss, because the voting in
Dayton shows O much larger Demo
cratic vote, than the true vote of the
State. In 1890 the Republican. vote Of
Ohio was 10,969 larger than the Demo
cratic vote. AS the loss in Dayton
comes off the Republican vote the true
way to figure McKinley's loss is on the
aggregate Republican vote. This needs
no explanation.
The aggregate Republican vote of
Ohio in 1890, was 363,54S.
The voting at Dayton, shows that on
an aggregate Republican vote of 1926,
Major Mckinley, lost 90 votes. Now
carry this ratio of loss into the
aggregate Republican vote of
the State, 363,54S, and the
result is loss to Nc
Kinley of A319 votes. Now add
Campbell's ratio of gain to McKinley's
loss and you have the true result in the
state, on the basis of the Dayton vote
In the three days voting at Dayton
1922 votes were cast for Marquis, d. fol
Lit. Governor, while James L. Campbell
received about 92 votes more than the
average of the Democratic candidates
on the Democratic ticket.
Ifyou carry this gain into the aggre-
gate Democratic vote of the state(which
was 352,579 in 1s90) and you will have
CampbelPs gain in the state, 24,536
Now add McKinley's loss, 24,3l9, to
Campbell's gain, and you have the true
result in the entire state, ON an aggre-
vote Of 742,lS7. This amounts to a
change of 1886 votes in the state in
favor of James L. Campbell.
In other wordsif the Republican state
ticket on Lieutenant Governor and the
Democratic state ticket should be even,
then Campbell, on the ratio of
the three days voting in Dayton, would
defeat Mckinley by 1886 votes,
Now why did SO many Republican
voters in Dayton vote for James E.
Campbell, and against William Nc
Kinley?
Certainly not on personal grounds
Mckinley is not Objectionable to any
one on personal grounds.
twas simply.and solely on account
of the tariff taxes.
1t was on account of the Mckinley
bill and the billion dollar Congress.
They will both be with us in NOvem,
ber and they will surely carry McKin-
ley down to defeat, as that NoVember's
sun of November Sd, shall set.
Public robbery by law has had its
day.
Doodle statesmen have had their
day.

The robber tariff must go.
