The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1892-09-08

1t will be seen that Mr.. Schmick of
Leetonia, DR.. Lewis of Alliance, John
Mcbride of Massillon, and j. c. Welty of
Canton were voted for, but none Of these
gentlemen were candidates.
Pending the ninth ballot, Hon. johnson
Sherrick, chairman of ths Stark county
delegation, withdrew Schmicks name at
Mr., Schmick's request, and then nomin-
ated John H. Clark of Mahoning in little
speech that set the convention wild. 1t
was a wonderful demonstration, lasting
several minutes, but Mr.. Clark, in
speech Of much feeling and showing him
self deeply touched by the enthusiasm,
declined the nomination. Mr.. Clark is
in the enjoyment of a large law practice,
and the allurements Of political career
were not strong enough to lure him from
his profession. MIR. Clark presided over
the convention with fairness, flrmness
and rare good judgment and his speech on
accepting the position of permanent
President is q literary gem of purest ray.
He said more in ten minutes and said it
with more force than most of our stump
orators will say in an hour. The feeling
among the delegates all over the district
was that Morgan is defeated man.
Should the election be held now there ia
no doubt Morgan would be defeated by a
1000. Gceat interest wss manifested by
the citizens of Alliance in the convention,
and it required the presence of police to
keep back the surging crowd of humanity,
anxious to visit the convention. Among
the Newspaper men present were L. V.
Ashbaugh of the Youngstown Telegram,
Robt. Skinner, Massillon Independent; (;
j. C. Deidrich, E4s. Liverpool Crisis C.
H. Wayne, Youngstown Vindicator; Thos.
j. Walton, Chicago Times; T. W. Morris,
East Liverpool News Review; E. Beech
am, Cleveland Press; Bert L. Porter, Tri
State League; W. II. Oldham, Salem
News; Waldron Fawcett, Salem Herald ;
l.. c. Macpherson, Daily Massillonian and
the NEws-DEMoCRAT man.

classes and therefore is earnestly devoted
to the interests of labor; and whereas, we
believe that the wages of labor are deter

assault 10 now being made upon the labor
unions throughout the land by the chief

support in securing as firm legal sanction
to organized labor, as is extended to con-
solidated capital,
