Speaks to the Voters of Stark County
Some Stirring Words

Some Stirring Words
"There is tide in the affairs cf men;"
and this is ever occurring, ebbing and
flow ing and so the unexpected comes
Our frequent elections give opportunity
for public expression, and so we learn
public opinion. Mankind vary in their
views from time to time and act accord
ingly.
no one need find fault for there may be
lessons by way of admonition. At all
events, graceful submission is the part Of
philosophy, not to say of daily duty.
Some people think our elections are too
frequent but II placed further apart,
officials given longer terms, power would
be further from the people, which would
increase our danger. Could our people
vote on measures instead of for men 1t
might be better.
The dislocation Of last fall resulted in
great republican triumph to which they
were not ertitled, for had the other olC-
ments been united the republicans would
have been defeated The divisions Of
those opposed to republican policy gave
that party the victory This thing of
DIVIDING AND BEING CONQUERED.
Is not the part Of wise men, and It is to
be hoped it will not happen again. The
elements referred TO by no means wish to
endorse OF return to the John Sherman
Mckinley policy.
The only hope as we look at 1t, is in
the democratic party. II Is the party of
the constitution, and for about one hun
dred years has remained intact surviving
all calamities and OUTLYING many oppos
ing organizations. 1t Is likely too, to
survive other parties now active and
hopeful.
Says Thomas Carlyle mot John g. Car
lisle): The just thing In the long run in
the strong thing" Hence the continuity
OF the democratic party. 1t Is not, like
our opponent, party Of schemes that be-
slows favors looking to gain for those
favored, and thereby getting props for the
party.
ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY.
What otherwise are their tariff proteo-
tion and financial systemsP As to the
latter, It seems to be gold for the mag
mates and deprecated currency and more
legal tender bank paper for the people,
and the business Of the country. The

1t is comforting and inspiring to note

The Improvement of matters under the
democratic reform tariff contrasts favor
ably with the hard times under the Nc
Kinley enactment. Even wool declined
under the Mckinley tariff, though the ad
yocates OF protection would prefer that
sheep farmers would forget all this. Th'
protection manipulators always took cart
to have imported wooden fabrics pay higher
duties than wool. Bnt they did not tel
the wool growers this. The
DEMOCRACY BAvE NEVER APPROVED
the financial policy and protection
schemes of the republican party claiming
these are not in accord with the constitu
ton. But this campaign being a stat
matter the election being for the purpose
of choosing governor, and Other stat
officials and general assembly, our loca
affairs should receive attention.
Hence is 1t that our gallant standar'
bearer James II. Campbell, In his mas
terly speeches, is giving attention to stat
affairs and reviewing the acts and deed
of the late republican Legislature ant
Governor McKinley's administration
All this is certainly highly proper. Al
citizens are interested in home rule.
MCKINLEY IN ERROR.
