STARK couNTY,s OPPORTUNITY.

There is one thing that the Democratic
State convention should seriously con-
slider when it meets in Columbus on June
30, and that is that the Northern half of
the State Is just as populous and in
tluential, and contains just as many
good men as the Southern half This
being the case it is entitled to the same
degree of consideration. But the records
of the Democratic State conventions in
Ohio for the last lightweight years
show that the Northern part of the
State has been almost wholly ignored in
the selection of Democratic gubernatorial
candidates. Since the organization Of
Stark county, which was in lSO9, the
Democrats of the State have assembled
in State conventions "A times to nomi
nate Governor, and only seven times
was the honor conferred upon Northern
counties. In 1885 the honor was con-
ferred upon Trumbull county by the
nomination of Eli Baldwin. In 1914 and
again in 1886 it was conferred on David
Todd, who lived in that part of Trum-
bull county which now belongs to
Mahoning county. In 1850 and again in
1851 it was conferred on Reuben Wood,
Cuyahoga county. In 1857 it was con-
ferred on Henry b. Payne, Cuyahoga
county, and in 1859 it was conferred on
Cuyahoga again by the nomination of
Rufus p. Ranney. At all the other
times the Southern part of the State got
the candidate for Governor. Ross carried
off the lsonor 7 times; Hamilton, times;
Butler, times; Warren, Pike, Belmont
and Fairfield each three times; Franklin
twice and Adams, Montgomery, Knox,
Jefferson, Clarke and Delaware once
each. At no time was this honor ever
conferred upon Stark county. These are
facts worth considering. Stark county
has but one candidate-Hon. John g.
Welty. 1t asks for his nomination on
the grounds of historic justice. He is
n line with his party on all the econo.
mic questions. On the free coinage
question he was ahead of his party. He
advocated silver coinage long before the
party had the courage to incorporate it
in the platform. His fealty to the silver
cause is unquestioned. He is today
practically the only candidate from
Northern Ohio, and if Northern Ohio
will bear these facts in mind he will be
nominated beyond question.

The Republican factions on Saturday
last in county mass convention were
pretty evenly divided. Thomas F.
Turner received $40 votes and Mr.
Hughes 265. Judge Baldwin nominated
Turner and Judge Fawcett presented
Hughes, The latter may be reckoned
the piety side probably, but not pious
enough to hurt, at least some of them.
The defeated took no further interest
in the show, for they generally left
showing the harmony that prevails.
They we're out, out, and would not
stay and shout. Mr.. Turner's speech
was an effort to smoothe the troubled
waters. He denied he was ring man, as
they all do; the only ring or gang to
which he belonged was the Republican
party. Mr.. Turner complimented county
Chairman John Thomas, which was
commendable, as Mr.. Thomas has been
blamed for the defeat of the G. o. P. in
Canton last spring. He implored all to
work for the success of the party in
county and State. The resolutions en-
dorse their national platform, gold and
tariff iniquities and all else, also Presi-
dent Mckinley, Governor Bushnell, Con-
gresham Tayler, and "sympathize" with
the people of Cuba. Not a word was
said about that prosperity" we heard
so much about last year; not word for
bimetallism; no sympathy for the suffer.
ing people in our own country; not a
word against robber trusts. They en-.
dorsed Senator Foraker and favor
Hanna's succeeding himself, Nothing
could be more subservient and truculent
throughout.

A few days ago in the Senate, Senator
Turpie, in discussing the tariff bill, said
the bill should have been referred to the
committee on pensions instead OF the
committee on finance. at is" said he,

factories and machinery, and those
pensions are not subject to the ordinary
restrictions on such legislation" The
farce in the above is not hard to see.
The trust is such a scheme of robbery as
thisso-called protective tariff is, requiring
combinations that bring Congressman
and Senators into the scheme. Hence
it is the Senators generally give a major

What else is this whole tariff conspir-
ing but a fraudulent arrangement to rob
the people under the guise of taxation?
The house schemers fixed the bill one
way; the Senate fellows are arranging
and rearrangug and fixing the bill to
suit them. During all this time speculat-
ing in sugar stock goes on in Wall street
and the tips are given from Washington.
The total profit in this gambling is said
to be sS,OOO,O 900 thus far. But such is

seems to be "played out" in national

CULLED BRIEFS.

Prosperity is coming, but the postur.
ing of President Mckinley as its "ad-
vance agent" is becoming sadly ridicul.
ous.-Boston Post.
In his dip into the future Secretary
Gage prophesied that the Mckinley ad.
ministration would "be faithful to the
task imposed upon ID of putting the
currency of the country on sound, !,
enduring and solid basis" That is the
kind of currency basis everybody wants.
But there is a wide difference now as to
what constitutes such a basis as there
was whtn Mr.. Mckinley, as a Repre-.
sentative in Congress, voted for the free
coinage of silver as means of "putting
the currency OF the country upon a
sound, enduring and solid basis. -
