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

was led into the error by State Auditor
Poe giving him the wrong figures. The
governor had charged MIR. Campbell with
giving false statements, but Campbell
maintained that he was right and do
manded Of Governor Mckinney TO correct
himself, which ne very properly and
promptly did. This puts Mr.. Poe in the
hole.
In the election about TO come off, the
democratic or republican party will be the
victor. In this case no one should throw
his vote away, especially If by so doing he
WILL HELP THE PARTY
whose principles he opposes. AS rule
there can be but two political parties, rs
n question has but two Sides This was
seen in the last congress. When the pop
ulist members voted on the reform tariff,
they either voted with the democrats or
reform and an income tax, or with the
republicans against reform and TO keep in
force the Mckinley monstrosity. There
was no half way house.
In the journey Of life we are often re
duced to choice between two, a choice
of evils possibly. Some may regard this
the case now as to United States sena-
tor, the gentlemen spoken of In this con-
nection being j. b. Foraker and @. s,
Brice. Surely, Senator Brice will lose
nothing IN comparison with Ex-Governor
Foraker
HOW THE MACHINE woRKEDIT
Contrary to the usual rule, Mr.. Fora.
ker was made the republican candidate
for the U. s. senate by the state oonven-
tion held at GAINESVILLE, and which nomi-
mated General Bushnell, Mr.. Foraker's
man, for c'-..:-.SS.-I The convention being a
full l-fledgcd ruraker affair manipulated
and managed by the notrious George b.
Cox. of Cincinnati, Of course named the
ex governor for the senate
At the democratic state convention ON
the other hand, no one was placed In
nomination for the senate, leaving II to
the democratic members Of the legislature
as usual. The democratic members of
the general assembly will thus be left free
to act as they shall think best. Senator
Brice deserves credit for his services in
securing the passage of the reform tariff
measure and thus repeating the Mckinley
act that worked such havoc and hardship
with business and labor.
1t is curious, IL not melancholy, to note
OCCASIONALLY
THE MEN CALLED STATESMEN
Humbug and hypocrisy combined, with
| some possible accomplishments and quail
| tiles enjoyed by reynard the fox, in some
instances constitute the statesman. The
party of schemes must have schemers
and these neither consult the people MOI
regard the ends of justice in promoting
their diabolical work What care suof
| for constitutions or commandments
GIVING SENATOR BRGCE CREDIT
We cannot conclude this article with
out complimenting Senator Brice and hi
active, energetic work in behalf of the sol
diers applying for pensions. Officials II
that department say the senator in thi
service is ahead of all members of con
gross they have known. Give credit b!
all means where credit is due.
There is one reason to look for improve
ment and reform in the republican lead
ers In craftsmanship they are like tn
Bourbons of Europe, forgetting nothing
and learning nothing They are nov
traversing the state addressing meeting
and dawdling about protection" ant
other nonsense that only brought mis-
chief, all of which is manifest by improv
ing conditions under democratic reform
tariff. A. McGregor.
