The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-10-09

Judge of the county, Is expected to do
some contributing in monetary
way, and ought to get a run on the
stump for his money. Chairman Dick
is not favorable to having him talk,
but is willing to allow him to contrib
ute. This Is taxation without repre-
sentation after the manner Of Porto
Rico.
Then there is the Honrable w. F.
Butler, the jolliest old citizen In the
bunch. What is the reason he has not
been called upon to crack joke or two?
He ought, at least, to be selected to go
around and ask the boys what they
will have. There are more ways than
one to make an effective speech. Why
was the Honorable Butler omitted?
Who was running that list for Carroll
county? Who put himself anc two
Hannaites on the list and excluded all
the Forakerites? 1t Is up to you,
Harvey!
The Canton-News Democrat has 1t in
for the census enumerators because
ton. 1t is a bitter pill to swallow, to
think town has got its growth and is
in it's dotage. No wonder crime and su-
icides are frequent We would feel the
same way If we lived there.-Sebring

/ This is fair sample Of what Is being
said about Canton in the newspapers
Of the state. Some old fogies seem to
be satisfied with the situation, but the
people generally are not. They want
another census taken. They want the
matter laid before the director of the
census at Washington and another GEN.
sus ordered. 1t can be done If 1t is gone
about in the right way. Canton can
not afford to rest under this grievous
wrong. 1t is blow to the business in
erests and ought to be rectified.
The Massillon Independent, in an ad-
vance notice of the Republican meet
ing in that city Saturday night, gave
the Honorable Thomas Turner the in
PRODUCTION to it's readers, that "he Is the
speaker who followed Senator Sher-
man on his last appearance in Massil-
lon" The independent then recalls that
historic occasion and adds:
"At the conclusion of the senator's
address large part Of the audience
rose to go, as Is frequently the case
when the principal speaker has finished.
Mr.. Turner was then comparatively un-
known In the city and he began his
speech under the embarrassing cir
cumstances mentioned. Undisturbed,
however, he launched into his subject
with such eloquence and earnestness
that those who had risen sat down and
many who had started to leave the hall
returned"
Thus did the Honorable T. f. Turner
achieve greatness. An orator who can
stop Massillon man on his way out
to get drink, is indeed a magnetic
citizen, and his future is safe.
But what Of Mr.. Johnson. who was al
so advertised to be at the meeting and
make a speech? How is he to be handed
down to posterity? Is he to be known
to fame as "the speaker who followed
the Honorable T. +. Turner, on noted
OCCASION" or is he simply to be handed
down as the man who followed the
band?

wuz out in the medder
Pickin' danderline roots,
When heard the chumpin'
OF Jim's big boots;
My heart mos stopped beatin'
But tossed my bunnet brim;
We wuz thar by ourselves
Jes' me an him.
Says I, "Howdy, jim?
How's yer par an MARI"
He didn't do nothin'. 'cep' grin.
An run his fingers through his ha'r;
Then he comes up clost,
An I says "Jim!"
An blushed-though thar wuz
Jes' me an him!
Terrectly he put his arm
Roun' my waist,
Sassy like,
Turned me roun', till we faced,
Then he kissed me, did Jim,
But nobody wuz thar
Jes' mean him ~.
