The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1901-11-01

troduced in neat speech by Chairman
Pomerene. Owing to the lateness of
the hour and the fact that the building
was becoming uncomfortably cool, ne
spoke but briefly. He said he was here
at the invitation of the Democratic exc
cutive committee, and spoke of the
efforts of the Democracy to do away
with speech making during the pres
ent campaign, but stated that Mark
Hanna dominated the Republican com.
mittee and this request was not COM
piled with, and for that reason he and
other Democratic speakers were on the
stump.
when the last curtain fell upon the
GREAT TRAGEDY
that touched every heart in this ma
tion." said the speaker, I'VE made this
request, and we wanted the people to
go to the polls without any one advis
ing them how to vote, but we were
turned down by the chairman of their
committee. Dick and Hanna could not
afford to stav at home. They wanted
chance to call Democrats anarchists
/ went to Delaware to hear Foraker
| He was there to try to make himself
solid with the colored people, and be-
fore he went on the rostrum he was
circulating among the colored breth
rem and was thanking God that we have
a president who was willing to recog-
nize their race. They ought to thank
God that in all these years one of their
race got square meal at the hands of
the Republican party.
Hanna in his speeches has bee 4
saying that vote for Nash is vote to
repudiate the cause of anarchy, rs
though vote for Democracy is vote
for anarchy. Even when I came 70
Canton and find local paper publish
ing that libel upon the Hon. Tom John
son, of Cleveland, which states that h.,
has
APPOINTED ANARCHISTS
to positions in Cleveland. This same
story is appearing in all the Republican
papers concurrent with the account OF
the electrocution of the assassin of
Mckinley. do not think that single
editor of those papers ever attempted
to verify that story. | do not know
whether some greasy anarchist has sue
ceeded in getting upon the payroll OF
Cleveland or not, but no one believes
that Tom Johnson ever appointed sucn
a man knowing him to be an anarchist
AS Democrat I resent this insult.
When the Republicans announced
their platform it was to be a national
cne, and not to discuss or treat of stat,
issues. Why was this necessary when
we do not elect president for three
years? But when they formulated At
they left out number of things. Why
didn't they say something about the
income tax, and the election of United
States senator's by the people? They
omitted to say anything about govern.
ment
BY INJUNCTION.
Why did they omit any reference t.
trusts and especially the political trust
which dictates what candidates are tr
be nominated and elected? 1t is thl
mother of all trusts. Kill it and al
, the others will die.
, Why didn't they say something abou
. the Monroe doctrine, which has been {
! dead letter ever since we acquired is
| land possessions in the eastern hemis
, phere?
, This is state and not a nationa
campaign and the state issues shoul'
I've met They cannot dodge the rea

tions. Economy in the conduct Of stat,
} affairs is one of the great questions
3 that should receive attention. 1t is tn
paramount question. as the expenses
of the state are piling up at an alarm
ing rate, especially as relating to ou
charitable and penal institutions.
We want man for governor who Il

l The speaker talked briefly of taxa
ton, and denounced Foraker as unti
] for senator since he quit eating fir
and was chewing gum at Hanna's die
tation. In closing he spoke feelingl'
of Mckinley and his tragic death an
quoted beautiful poem written upol
the death of the martyred president.
The audience was attentive through
