The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1901-01-22


The idea Of that grizzly tackling
Teddy, after his history had been in all
of the papers He was evidently an
unlettered cub that deserved to be shot.
Any bear that doesn't know Teddy Is
no gentleman.
The bicycle rider will soon take hand
In the political coup that one Nighman
has planned.
In the booth he will give the street
sprinkler q crack
AS he, wrathful recalls that wet streak
UP his back.
Prosecutor Day has set forth facts
enough about that infirmary cottage
to condemn the manner in which busi-
mess is done by those who ought to
have the interests of the county at
heart.
While engaged in building and con-
tracing to build steel mills the Can
ton board of trade is not Sinking other
manufacturing plants. The city has
been somewhat lame in the matter of a
diversifcation of iron industries, and
that is being rapidly and substantially
corrected. The future of Canton is safe.
The story that Henderson is about to
peach is not as good q guess as the
fact that one Dutch Frank has already
had his sentence commuted to a consid-
erable extent. Gentlemen who have
visited the penitentary for a brief pc
riod and some who have remained
longer relate that q fellow who gets
a few years taken off his sentence is
likely to think up pretty good story.
There are several -four flush" fight
ers, with no visible means of support,
who are lingering in the city, who have
hardly an excuse to linger longer, and
not tear would be shed should they
be found among the misslng.-Youngs-
town Telegram.
There have been a number In, Canton
who belong to the same category, but
they are getting pretty well weeded out,
since the boys have declined to hold
them up.
Dutch Frank, who may do some turn
lng-up in the brutal murder case at
Greentown, a few years since, is the
gentlemanly night season visitor, who,
when captured one cold winter morn
ing, was asked what he had in little
bottle he carried. He said it was cough
syrup. And despite the fact that he
told the truth they sent him over the
road for it. 1t is the kind of syrup that
is made by mixing giant powder and
nitro -glycerine and Is purposed to make
bank vaults, and other places inclined
to be tight and croupy, cough up.
Councilman j. A. Bernpwer no sooner
gets into the public eye than he insists
upon getting out again. He declines
to be a candidate for reelection in the
First ward, and it will be necessary
for the Democrats to pick another win
ner. Several gentlemen have been sug-
gested, among them Henry r. War
ner and Charles w. Keplinger. Mr.
Warner was formerly president of the
council and made an excellent official,
and Mr.. Keplinger is one of the promi-
nent and popular young men of the city,
who would take into the office a ripe
experience in business and finance.
Others may permit the use of their
names, but 1t is evident that the ward
will not be without the best Of timber,
Now it is hoped that the judgeship
fight in Stark and Carroll will result in
nothing of the kind that occurred at
Hamilton, Ohio, recently. One judge
down there accuses another of attempt
no promises have been made here and
nobody has been approached even in
the interest of harmony to pull off and
permit one lawyer to have things his
own way. The Garfield law would prob
ably reach neat little slate that in
cludes the nominations for auditor,
clerk of courts and one or two other
Offices next fall. on the Republican
ticket, but it cannot be possible that
there is even such a thing as an "un-
about so lofty and strictly
a non-partlsan position as that of COM
mon pleas judge.
