The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-05-28
THE SILVER MEN SHOULD NOT
BE MISLED.

When the News. Democrat heard that
the Stark county Democratic central
committee had voted to submit the
much agitated silver question to vote
of the Democratic voters of the county,
it applauded the act, not because Vt was
carried in the committee by the silver
men, but because it appeared to us as
the fairest wayof disposing of this vezed
and disputed question. 1t took the
position that was much, as there was
much diversity of opinion upon this
question; the whole matter should be
submitted to the people, and that the
will of the majority should prevail
whether for silver or for gold. If the
sentiment in the county was for silver,
the silver men should have the delegates
to the state convention; If for gold, the
gold men should have them. But there
was niger in the wood pile. The So
called advocates of free silver are not
sincere in their advocacy of the white
metal. Their scheme is to send John G..
welty and Conrad Schweitzerto Chicago.
Both of them have bad records
on the silver question, and neither Of
them care a baubee about the silver
question except to hoodwink the honest
farmers into sending them to Chicago as
national delegates. Welty was chairman
Of the Stark county delegation in the
Ohio Democratic convention in 1891,
which was held at Cleveland and voted
the whole county delegation against the
majority resolution, which was for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Schweitzer's record is best told in his
own language from an interview last
April, which is as follows:
81 think the president is right and
time will prove it, 1t is unfortunate,
however, that he did not long ago de
clare himself with such emphasis, because
dallying with this silver fallacy has given
it strength. The free coinage of silver
means that this government shall fix Q
price for the product of the worlds sill
yer mines. With equal property any
other producer could demand that the
government fix price for his product
| can understand why silver mining in
terests favor free silver coinage, but why
any other interest in this country should
advocate such doctrine of commercial
destruction Is mystery to me. Gold il
the commercial worlds standard o.
value; everything else, silver included il
commodity"
Let the honest advocates Of the white
metal beware of the insincerity of Welty
and Schweitzer and not be caught il
their dragnet. They have no more low
for silver than the salvation army ha
for the devil, but they thought that tn,
silver sentiment was strong in Starl
county and they would advocate it t,
elect themselves as national delegates
and then betray their constituency a
Chicago as they betrayed their life-lon
friend Archibald McGregor.

The Democrat is the organ of
the Democratic party in Stark county.
1t is not the organ of any clique or fac
tion. In the waging battle now IN Stark
county the fight is between the great
mass Of the Democratic party on the
one side, and very inconsiderable num-
Der on the other. But the whole party
is aroused. The present illegal central
committee will be overthrown and pro.
vision made for the election of new
one. There is no disposition on the
part of this journal to read any Demo.
crat out of the party, but when set of
men who are temporarily in control of
the Democratic machinery, persist in
running thugs with high hand, chang
ing the old established rules of the party
and turning down venerable Democrats
like Archibald McGregor, it was the bust
ness of this paper to speak out in behalf
Of the great mass of Democrats in the
county against. machine tyranny. 1t
would not be public journal if it failed
to raise its voice against party abuses.

THE DEMocRArIc OPPORTUNITY.

The News-Democrat endorses the views
of the Philadelphia Record on the sub.
ject of Ex-Governor McKinley's can
didacy for the Republican nomination
for president, and believes that elf he
cannot be beaten for the presidency by
the Democrats nobody can" 1t is true
that the outlook from the Democratic
standpoint is not as encouraging as we
should like to see 1t. During the past
three years, partly through mistakes for
which the Democrats were answerable
and partly by reason Of vicissitudes from
which no provision of craftsmanship
could have delivered the country, there
has been generated a deep feeling of
distrust and dissatisfaction for which the
present Federal administration has been
held responsible. Bad crops and bad
business are always laid up as grievan.
ces against the party in power. Usually
after bad crops and bad business,
whether deserved or not, there is de.
feat in store for the party in power. We
have been compelled by force of circums-
tances to anticipate something of this
kind; but if the Republicans shall nomi.

THE WAR is ON.

For the past two years the Stark
county central committee has been un-
der the complete control of Conrad
Schweitzer Its officers were his
henchmen and carried out his orders,
but at fearful cost to the De.
mocratic party in the county. Look at
the Republican majorities in the city
and county for the past two years and
you will at once preceive that there is
something wrong.

Such management as this could only
bring down upon their heads the wrath
of offended Democrats, and it is high
time that these incompetents are routed
horse, foot and dragoon.
Mr.. Schweitzer well knew that If the
honest yeomanry of the county would
ever get swipe at his two-for. five COM
mittee they would knock it to kingdom
come, so at the committee meeting last
year they abolished the primary elec.
ton disfranchised 5000 Democrats, select
ed the delegates themselves to the
county convention and then tried to
perpetuate the Schweitzer oligarchy by
appointing their own successors.
The action of the committee at this
time was wormwood and gall to the rank
and file OF the Stark county Democracy.
There were muttering thunders heard on
every cross roads in the county about
the usurpring methods employed by
Schweitzer and his benchmen to per-
petuate their power in the county.
Still for the sake OF harmony they sub.
mitted. But the slaughter house act on
Tuesday last is the straw that broke the
camels back.
There can now be no compromise
with Conrad Schweitzer or any of his
gang, and the battle must be fought out
if it takes all summer. They claim tc
be Democrats, but their doctrines are as
far re owed from Democracy as the
depths OF hades are from the glimmer
ing hill tops of Zion, and you might as
well talk OF building railroad to the
moon as to compromise with these
apostates.
Let none misunderstood our course ir
the future. We propose to wage re
lentless war and keep up the fight il
behalf of the honest democrats Of thu
county until every mothers son of thi
horrible and heartess breed of mislead
ers, from high priest Schweitzer down
down to proletaire Baughman, shal
have been squelched aud "become
nightmare of the past"

THE BAsEsT INGRATITUDE.

John @. Welty was member of the
Stark county Democratic executive COM
mittee in 1895, and s still member OF
that body,
AS member of this committee he en-
dorsed Archibald McGregor and Phil. j.
Borrower for the board of elections, and
recommended their appointments to
the secretary OF state.
He afterwards accepted a place on a
rump executive committee which had no
more legal existance than the statutes
passed by the rebel congress in secession
days.
He positively assured Mr.. McGregol
that there was not the slightest inten'
ton to remove him from the board o.
elections, and meant to accept him as one
of the members; but when the battle
was on he ran away from the contest
and betrayed his old friend and
neighbor,

PITTsBURG. May 25.-By an over,
whelming vote the socalled Marion
peace resolution has been adopted by
the Window Glassworkers' association,
and the end of the faction fight is in
sight. The Marion resolution, which
was presented by the Marion Qnd.
workers, gives the president and execu-
tive council supreme power and takes
the control of the organization out of
the hands of the seven preceptories of
Pittsburg. 1t is regarded as a victory
for President Burns and the precep-
tories outside of this city.
