GENERAL STEVENSON has denied that
he belonged to the knights of the Golden
Circle, but so far as our observation ex-
tends, he h as not yet denied that he was a
member OF the almost equally notorious
and infamous "sons OF Liberty .n-Peoria
Transcript,
Nor has he ever denied that
he was member of tire
white Caps the "Molly Ma
guires," the "Ku-Klux Klan, :" the "Know-
Nothings,n the James brothers, gang -
the Elephants" the "Civil Rights
League the Lilly White Republicans,' -
the "Illinois Republican Editorial Asso-
ciation,n nor the National Organization
OF Unmitigated Idiots."-Chicago Herald.
There are a few things Gen. Steven
son does not have to deny. He has
never been charged with defending the
robber tariff, or of belonging to the Pi
rates of Penzance, or the Protective
Tariff League, or the Pinkertons.

THE Hon. E. l.. Lybarger, Republi-
can candidate for Board of Public
works, has been doing the rural dis
tricts of Ohio, and has Just made re-
port to Columbus headquarters of the
g. o. p. that the farmers are well salts
fed with the workings of the McKin-
ley bill, and that the rural districts of
Ohio will roll up the old time Republi-
can majority. We have the right to
assume that the farmers, as a class, are
about the same minded everywhere,
and as a pointer on the satisfaction of
the farmers, with the Mckinley bill
allow up to quote brief editorial from
the Pikins County News of Carrolton,
Alabama. The editor of this farm
journal evidently knows more about
public sentiment among the farmers
than our Lybarger:
VT the farmer don't know his condition
we would like to know who does. II ia
rather cheeky for few editors of plate
papers and pot-house politicians, who
couldn't tell a monkey wrench from a
curry comb to save their lives, TO try to
create the impression that the farmers
are enjoying great wave of prosperity,
The editor that hasn't got sense enough to
know the condition of the people, and
honesty and manhood enough to publish
1t, is disgrace to journalism, 'and ought
to go off and die.n

MCKINLEY is to take the stump in
Maine and Vermont where he will de-
liver his ancient and venerable speech
on Protection. replete with fallacies
that have become hoary-headed. He
will prate about American men and
American manhood" with all his mas.
terly affection of sincerity. He should
explain to the farmers of Maine and
Vermont why it is they cannot make a
comfortable liying-why it is there are
so many farms deserted, right under
the shadow of the very industries that
have so long enjoyed protection.-New-
ark Advocate.

Is or is not Labor Crusher Morgan
supporting the scheme to have prohibi-
tion submitted to the voters of the city
of Alliance? If not, why do we not
hear his stentorian voice raised as of
yore in defense of the cause of statutory
goodness? Can it be possible that the
exigencies of the political situation
forbid, or that the cause Of compulsory
temperance is lost sight of in the neces-
stiles of the candidate? Perhaps Nor
gan has received revelation concern
ing the value of votes at the present
juncture, irrespective of the source
from whence they are derived.-East

The CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.

We are under many obligations to
the genial editor of the Alliance Review
for his compliments over our nomina-
tion for Congress at OTrville by the
Democratic committee. The geLlal
editor aforesaid adds:
WJust why and how the committee
afterward ignored this action and pros
ceeded TO call q convention is not ex-
planned. Why should they not have per-
mitted their nomination to standP IL
would have saved the great expense, Ill
gore that Ia sure TO be the result Of holding
a political convention, and what is more
important, they would have had a better
candidate in Gen. Sherwood than they are
likely to get by the wire pulling contest
which win be held at Orrviile, on Septem'
Der To-"
We copy the above in order to OBJ
serve, that there is danger to the Dem
ocratic ticket in Stark county, in q
heated and acrimonious contest for the
nomination, between rival candidates
in this county. We trust the contest
for the nomination will be conducted
in good feeling and that the unwhole-
some and Improbable newspaper con-
troyersey, now In full blast by
the Canton correspondents of the
one cent dailies in Cleveland,
may be compressed into the
straight lines OF truth. A Canton cor
respondent of the Penny Press stated
in Thursdays issue, that Mr.. Conrad
Schweitzer had written communica-
ton in the NEWS DEMOCRAT in the in
terest of A. McGregor, and signed it
old Line Democrat" The truth is
Mr.. Schweitzer did not write any COM
munication and sign 1t "Old Line
Democrat" An old liue Democrat
wrote 1t and brought it to this office
aud Mr.. Schweitzer never saw it.
We would like to see Stark county
Democrat nominated for the Congress
sional vacancy. We believe that the
other counties will aid In the nomina-
ton of a Stark county man, If we can
agree among ourselves on candidate.
Why can't the candidates get together
and agree that whoever gets clear
majority of the Stark county delegates
shall be supported unanimously by the
entire delegationp The report,
circulated in Alliance, that the
editor of the NEws-DEMoCRA
would accept the nomination
If rendered Is wide of the truth. rhe
editor aforesaid would not accept the
nomination If rendered.
AT present the only candidates men,
toned are A. McGregor aud John E.
Monnot. Both are worthy, able and
sound Democrats, and well known to
every voter in Stark county. Hence
neither need any newspaper advertis-
ing, Let the campaign be conducted
outside of the newspaper offices, and
without malice, and then, when the
nominal Ia nannad yUa pan oil itrnY, In
and elect him. The prize is worthy Of
the ambition of the ablest and best
Democrat in the district.

THE GERMANS ARE FOR CLEVELAND.

Out in Wisconsin the Germans are
coming over to the support of Cleve.
land in squads and platoons. In Iii.
nois there is also a large accession to
the Democratic party composed of
Germans, heretofore Republicans. In
New York, Carl Schurz is out with a
manifesto, addressed to his German
fellow citizens urging them to support
Grover Cleveland, in the interest of
purer politics, economy in public ex-
penses and rugged honesty. The Re-
publican organs are alarmed over this
detection, and they are now vigorously
assalllng Carl SchurZ, as sore head,
a place seeker, and other cruel and
killing epithets. The Cleveland Lead
ers Washington correspondent in
6uiges In incorporate language as
follows:
"Carl Schurz, thin as ever, peeyish as
ever, important as ever, has again ad-
dressed himself to his German-American
fellow citizens. SchuIz still imagines that
ne carries the German vote in his waists
coat pocket. Moreover he continues to
think that he is reformer.
The Germsn.Americans have always
been proud OF Schurz because he Is a fine
orator, learned man, and a person of
some consequence. However, his political
power over the Germans has always been
much exaggerated. As q people the
Germsns are Jealous of their political
rights. They have always listened TO
Schurz, but his speeches haven,t made
them weathercocks."
And then the Leader correspondent
deyotes a column of abuse of Schurz,
writing him down as a political adven-
turer.
All the same, the intelligent Ger
mans of the United States are with Carl
Schurz, heart and soul in this campaign,
and they will vote for Grover Cleveland

JOHN BIDwELL of California, Pro-
nibition candidate for President, comes
down on the so-called Protective tariff
with both feet, in his letter of accep-
tance. Gen. Weaver, Peoples Party
candidate for President is dead against
1t, and all the labor organizations of the
country from Blaine to San Francisco,
are declaring against it. All the Dem
ocrats are against it, from the lowliest
hutter up to Grover Cleveland. In fact
the whole civilized world, outside the
g. o. p. is against it. Hence we say it
must go, The way 70 speed it to its pit
is to vote for Grover Cleveland; our
prophet and our savior.

the Democratic farmers, and many of
the Republican farmers, who have
wool and farm truck to sell, are sort
a hankerin'" after more free trade.
This is an agricultural district, and
free trade is having little boom there,
all to itself. A Columbus special to
the Cleveland Leader, indicates that
the Republicans are alarmed over
Harter's prospects. Among other
scarey sentences the correspondent
says:
"Harter has been working the soldier
organizations by circular letter pro-
claiming that he alone Is the friend of
the veterans, and that to him is due all
the credit for their recognition. His
canvass will bear watching, for Mr..
Harter has a greedy appetite for an.
other term in Congress and will turn
anything tU accomplish this end"

theme. Here is one of his paragraphs:

THIS has in it the twang and twitter

Editor Potts, evidently does not enjoy
this, judging by the following para

"The abuse OF and downright lying
about the editor of the Patriot by the

covery about Andrew Jackson's mes
sage on the tariff. The callow fledg.

junior year. Perhaps he might hear
of Heary Clay, as the father of the
American system. President Jackson
saw what everybody yet sees, that to
the extent an import is taxed, to that
extent there Is Incidental protection.
He also upheld the doctrine of adjust

PRAISE OF A. M'eRseoR.
From the Masslllon Independent.

The short Congressional term will
not make or break any rising young
statesman, but 1t does afford the party
an opportunity to compliment some one
of its faithful members. That no Dem
ocrat in Stark county is more worthy to
possess this honor than the veteran
Archibald McGregor goes without say
ing. Mr.. McGregor has been a hard
fighter in his day, and has received
none of the usual party rewards. It
would be a gracious recognition of zeal.
Gus effort, should the party now crown
his labors with the gift within its power
to bestow, in this, the autumn of his
life and the ripeness of his intellect.

a leading furniture company of Grand
Rapids, Mich, that means much money
for Gov. Mckinley, provided the Gov
ernor means what he says in his great
speech, where he claims the foreigner
pays the duty. AS this letter is from
prominent business house, in good
standing in the commercial world, the
Major cannot afford to ignore or refuse
their liberal proposition. Besides there
is $4,000, good money, in it, provided
the Major tells the truth in his much
repeated speech on the tariff. Here is
