The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1895-10-17


It is dollars TO doughnuts that william
B. Perkins does not win in his struggle
for the secretaryship Of the water works
There is no more deserving member of,the
party in Canton, IL loyalty counts, for
Mr.. Perkins is man who humbly licks
the hands Of the party which has struck
him blow after blow, in his striving after
office. Those on the inside of the political
wicket of the republican party say that
the name of the next water works clerk
will not be Perkins.
Mr.. Detmering was not invited to be
one of the vioe-presidents of the Foraker
Bushnell meeting, but he need not worry.
For warm admirer of Mckinley, the
honor of seat on that stage was ques-
tionable one, to say the least.
The republican machine ring in Canton
wishes 1t distinctly understood that 1t Is
still in power. 1t would like Charlie
notice.
The visit of Ex-Governor Foraker to the
city tHis week, and his manner Of en-
trance, is quite different from his visit to
nounced then as an attraction at an af-
ternoon meeting at Meyers lake. 1t was
at q time when Foraker's hostility to Gov
ernor Mckinley was becoming apparent,
but was not yet so conspicuous as not to
be doubted by all loyal republicans, 1t
was expected that the governor would
visit Canton and preparations were made
! in way to receive him, He did not
come He stopped at Massillon, drove to
the lake, delivered his speech and returned
the way he came.
There was Indignation of quiet sort,
but no open outburst. There are many
now who can fathom the action. They
cannot but admire the colossal audacity
of the man, in again visiting Mckinley S
stronghold, in the guise of an humble
suppliant
Chairman Thomas should tote fair in
the distribution of the Bushnell fund.
| He should remember that it has been the
machine ring that has always been adj
| verse to Foraker and should not now be
permitted to absorb the slnews of war.
The junior republican organ III Canton
substantiates the News Democrats story
bought out the Vincent contingent of the
populists. The editor in a dispatch 70
Pittsburg, says, among other things
"Old-time populists say they will vote
for Foraker representatives If they cannot
get Krider off the ticket
Thus are Stark county populists merely
making themselves appendages to the re-
publican machine.
Al True purposes to knock the water
works superlntendency persimmon, ol
know the reason why. He thinks his
Mechanic endorsement will be the clul
that will do it.
Charlie Krider has wonderful follow
ing among the populists and Is being
, warmly congratulated by the rank anC
file of that party in declining to listen t
the behest of those who sold out to the re
publican machine. During his offlcia
and private career Mr.. Krider's work
have been as an open book. His demOC
racy is of the kind that all the word i'm
! plies.
Stark county proposes to show how lit
tie partisanship enters into the circui
court judgeship by rolling up such n mag
niflcent majority for Judge Thayer as OLE
Molly Stark has never known. Judg
, Thayer is one of the ablest members o
the bar, and great favorite, and the vot
ers who know him through the count.
propose to exercise their right of suffrag
for him, irrespective of party.
1t was shallow, that action of the ma
chine, selecting Henry Detmering presi

, reception committe of the Bushnell For
2 aker meeting, after Chairman Thoma

manner,
