The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-05-06

The political revival that set in last
year, getting its start at Chicago and a
helping boom at st. Louis afterwards,
continues with no waning indications.
The elements that got together and
acted 80 unitedly and vigorously see that
only in union is there strength and hope
to bring about reform and rescue the
country from the grasp of greed and
monopoly. Only in this way can the
constitution be restored and justice
established. 1t is comforting to see
that there is no disposition anywhere to
divide and disintegrate and so give our
opponents an opportunity to continue
their rule and ruin policy, 1t was
lack of this union in the past that
enabled the Republican party to hold
on to power and play havoc with pros
perity. Tho, again in power, Bourbon
like, they propose no change of policy
looking to Improvement. With union,
however, among those who oppose gold
standard and contraction and robber
tariff, change will soon come.

President Mckinley has done wise
thing in appointing ex.Judge William R.
Day, of Canton, as assistant Secretary
of State. No doubt the appointment
is entirely acceptable to Secretary Sher-
man. Judge Days father was the late
Judge Luther Day, of Rayenna, and his
grandfather, on the maternal side, was
the late Judge Rufus P. Spaulding, of
Cleveland. Judge Spaulding was a
member of Congress for several terms
and served on the supreme bench OF
Ohio. The writer hereof knew both the
father and grandfather of the assistant
secretary,

THE HUNGRY HOUNDS.

When President Cleveland's first term
expired less than one.third of the rail-
way mail agents we're Democrats, and
yet one of President Harrison's first acts
was to suspend the civil service rule for
month and nearly every Democrat in
the railway mail service was fired. Of
the II mail clerks on the G. & p. r. r.
only one Democrat was left. 1t was the
same on all other railroads, and all
through Cleveland's second term he
permitted that outrage to pass un'
noticed.
Now the hungry hounds are pesterine
the life out of Mckinley to get him tc
commit similar act of unfairness and in
Justice. We shall see if he is weak enough
to surrender his oft expressed convic
tions.-Carroll Chronicle.

himself before the public, and theieis
not a word uttered by him to deprecate
the idea of another candidacy. All his
life an office seeker and an office holder,
he differs from the rif.raf of his class
only in his high pretensions and pro-
found duplicity. He hopes in the hurly-
burly of affairs to force himself first upon
the party and then upon the country as
the representative of clean politics and
the public order. He represents neither.
He represents only his own lust for
office"

A Story of Depew and Evarts.

"By the way" said Eli Perkins in
reminiscent mood, Il rode up to Wind
sor with Mr.. Evarts one day. He was
accompanied by boy who was reading
the morning papers. AS soon as he rec
ognized my voice he said: Come over
here, Eli. You know what want. Give
me the digest of all the news and all
the funny stories. Oh, do miss the
stories sol What has Depew said lately?
"a moment afterward we were talk
ing about riding ON the Wagner, and
1 said, Now, Mr.. Evarts, you have
ridden good deal on the sleeper, and
how had man better lie to sleep we'll
head to the engine, or feet toward the
engine?'
"'Oh, you shouldn't come to law
yer with such question as that, Eli
That isn't law question:; that is an
engineering question. You should go to
some railroad president with such a
question. Go and ask Depew.'
but Depew is lawyer, isn't he?'
l said.
"'Well, y-e-s-Depew is a lawyer.
Then, he continued slowly and thought.
fully, But all the law Depew knows
wouldn't bias him in answering any
question.
"When told this story at the Lotos
club, week afterward, Depew happen
ed to he there. He laughed with the
rest, but just before he left he leaned
forward, with his hand over his mouth,
and whispered to me:
1.-the story is all right, Eli, but if
you won't tell it any more in New York
I'll give you an annual on the road.
"Mr. Evarts for years sent half bar
rel of pork every year to Bancroft, the
historian, with a characteristic note.
No one ever read these notes but Ban
croft. When the historian died, they
found these notes from Evarts, tied uI
with red tape by the hand of the dead
author:

largely attributable to my pen. EvARTs

The general sentiment over the coun' y
among our friends as to nominating
the ticket is to nominate by primary
election. The county convention of last
year SO declared by unanimous vote.
This spring the Democrats of Canton
nominated by popular vote, and it
was satisfactory. Amy other arbitrary
way for the county will not be satisfac-
tory. The members Of the committee

Must sully her splendor GSl

That can but endure. 4

Given power from above,
Till the darkening miseries
Shall scatter and flee,

ECONOMY IN EXPENDITURES.

ture. Proper economy and good man.
agement have been lacking, and hence
deficit in the revenues of some forty
millions year.
Edward Atkinson, Of Boston, the dis.
tinguished economical writer, shows in
statistical paper, recently printed in
the New York journal of Commerce"
that had the expenditures sincel 1890,
for which the billion Congress set the
pace, been kept down to the average of
Cleveland's first term, from 1885 to 1889,
there would have been saving in the
five fiscal years from 1891 to 1895 Of a
little less than $3OO,OOO,OOO. Hence we
would have avoided the deficiencies of
the last three years, which are impelling
Congress to increased taxation. This
era of proAigate expenditure commenced
with 1890, and it seems it is to be con-
tinued.

Republicans now express much dis
pleasure at Cleveland's extension of the
civil service rules, but do not comment on
Arthur and Harrison, who applied them
to $4,000 offices. The office holders
then were Republicans and of course it
was all right. Mr.. Cleveland's exten-
sion of the rules covered all classes
politically, and aside from Presidential
appointments there were more Re-
publicans, Populists and no.party men
in subordinate offices than Democrats.

The Republican subcommittee of the
Senate has been at work on the Dingley
tariff bill for a month or more and it is
said has made about 1000 changes The
Republican organs three years ago made
great ado over the Wilson bill in the
Senate, getting some 500 changes.
These organs made much fun then, but
now 1t is not so funny, being the work
of Republicans alone. Some think the
bill will not go to the President before
August or September. 1t will be seen
that Republicans, all wise men differ
materially on tariff rates. 1t is all grail
game on the principle of the devil take
the hindmost.
These men, tho all so wondrous wise,
Yet see this grab thro' different eyes.
They wigRle round their tariff ball,
And hardly can agree at all.
Tis just grabbing game Of greed,
Where each maneuvers to succeed
And help to rob the toiling mass
To benefit his favored class.
