The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1892-05-12


seem to meet with the approval OF the
Republicans of the district. He is known
as the foe of organized labor and II is
hardly probable the workingmen of the
district will vote for him. Mahoning
county Republicans feel very sore over
the way they we're used.
HOW THE REPUBLICANS FEEL.
The youngstown Telegram, Republican,
says: "The Mahoning delegation left the
convention hall with minds very much
disturbed. Certainly they had cause. No
word of complaint was heard from them
after Morgan had been nominated. They
knew they had lost fairly. But when they
failed to secure the nomination of dele.
gate to the national convention their
Indignation knew no bounds. No one for
a moment thought that Stark county
would have the audacity to present a can
didate. But she did, and he was elected.
Senator Oil of MahoninR county assisted
materially in the election of the Stark
county man, and he was severely criticized
by Mahoning county men. Senator Obi
was not a delegate, but worked himself on
to the floor.n
Editorially the Telegram says: "After
taking the congressman IL certainly was
an outrage for Stark also to take a ma
tional delegate. Mahsning had promi-
nent and we'll known candidates for this
position. Not a word could be said against
them, yet Canton man was selected.
Mahoning acquiesces but she does so
with the feeling that in Stark county
politics generosity is a thing unknown,
fairness doctrine unpracticed and bristle-
ness greed a ruling characteristic.n
Again the Telegram has the following.
"Stark county, however, named John A.
Logan, Jr., and moved that his election he
made unanimous. Mr.. Logan had left
the hall, but his friends in the Mahoning
delegation thought that this action was

understood. Mr.. Logan will not accept.n
FEELING IN EAST LIVERPOOL.
The East Liverpool Crisis has the fol-
lowing: Thomas r. Morgan is the head
and front, the body and soul of the ultra
prohibition movement OF Alliance.
1t is almost universally conceded to
have been the very worst nomination
| that could have been made.
Your correspondent has heard many
persons, some OF whom were delegates,
too, say they would not vote for Morgan
In the new candidates extensive works
| at Alliance every employe must sign an
agreement never to become a member of
a trades union, and he must vote the Re-
publican ticket.
In the conduct of his business and in
his relations with his employees, Mr. Nor.
gan is a tyrannous dictator, who looks
upon his workman as so many chattels,
whom he has purchased by the simple
act OF giving them employment. Every
man in his employe must sign an ironclad
agreement never to become member of
any trades-union organization, and ii is q
well known fact that the employe who
votes the Democratic ticket does SO at the
risk of losing his position. Previous to
the passage of the present ballot law,
either he, his son or some other sub
manager stationed himself at the polls
nd iT1a ho hall ~
before he deposited it in the box. This
is Candidate Morgan's view of practical
politics.
Mr.. Morgan is equally aggressive and
dictatorial in all public affairs. Although
a man OF fine natural abilities in his line,
he is possessed OF little or no education.
Notwithstanding this, by pure force of
| will and the persuasive influence of
| money he has controlled the governme ent
of Alliance as that of few cities is con-
trolled, and always, of course,
to his own pecuniary benefit.
For years he has peen promi.
nently Identified with the Prohibition
movement in Alliance, and is responsible
for much in that connection that has
made the move ment odious in the view of
liberal minded people. His money il was
that employed foreign detectives to pro-
cure information concerning the local
liquor trafllc by means that every reputa-
W.
There are many Republicans who will
unite with the auti.prohibition members
OF the party and oppose his election at
the polls.
Mr.. Morgan is possessed Of strong indi-
viduality, his most noticeable characteris-
tic being an over er-weening 'self-conceit.
This popularity leads him into assumed
prominence on every occasion, when no
persuasion will deter him from making a
sorry exhibition OF his lack of education
and knowledge of public affairs. Should
he be elected to Congress-, no conception
OF proprlety would deter him from pushing
himself forward, and the consequences
would be that the district which has been
honored by such men as Major Mckinley
| and Judge Wallace would become the
laughing stock of the nation"
DEMOCRATIC OPINION FROM YOUNGSTOWN,
The Youngstown 'Vindicator says:
When the chairman ordered the roll call
on the list ballot it was plainly evident
that the fight for the selection of winner
was nearing close and that the battle
would be decided against Judge King and
in favor of his wealthy opponent, whose
potent influence was Doodle.
Morgan having been successful in pur.
| chasing one more vote than was actually
necessary, for choice was declared the
nominee of the convention. The an
nouncement of the decision by the chair
was received with storm of Kisses from
the Mahoning delegation and the friends
of Judge King on the floor and the CELERY,
The adherents of Morgan wisely refrained
from presenting motion to make the
nomination unanimous, realizing that
such action would not be kindly received
by the delegates who had refused TO be
corrupted and had been defeated by
methods OF the most contemplate char
acter.
The result of the ballot indicated clearly
as expressed by a delegate, that Mahoning
county was not in it,and insult was added
to injury by delegate from Stark county
nominating John A. Logan, DR., for alter
nate, which precipitateda row Of mann
moth proportions.
The air was resonant with "Giye them
both to Stark county !" "Buy them as YOU
did the votes for Morgan !" STARK county
wants to hog eyerything;" "Old Morgan
Stark back with Holmes county" until
Chairman Day badly marred a table in
rapping with one Of Morgan's hamm ers to
secure order.
The Mahoning county delegation with
drew the name Of Mr.. Logan but no atten.
tion was paid to IL, and on an election by
exclamation the ayes of the Stark Colum.
diana boodlers were drowned by the navs
and Kisses of the Mahoning dele and
the gallery, who believed in fair piay,
But the chair decided he was elected.
John M. Taylor, of East LIVERPOOL. was
elected as the other alternate.
After nearly the entire MahonipR dele
cation had leftth Opera House, disQusted
at the contemptuous and diseourteous
treatment they had received, the conven-
ton nominated M. A. Norris, of Youn0s-
town, as Presidential elector. II Is per
maps unnecessary to say that Mr.. Norris
will not serve.
