ing the common pleas judgeship. Every
Republican in the county, seemingly, has
gone daffy over the matter and is be-
wailing the fact that the future for
Carroll holds little in the way of
| political preferment. The Offices in the
| county amount to little in the way of
| revenue, legitimately, and there is no
| hope for anything on the outside-least-
| wise there is now nothing in sight un-
less somebody can be made to stand and
| deliver. Feeling among Carroll county
Republicans Is so bitter that when they
say their. prayers at night they ask the
Almighty to bless everybody else and
condemn all Stark county Republicans.
The Republican Standard, in It's last
issue lost it's head completely. An
editorial that was triple loaded and
slugged and bold-faced till it strung out
eleven and one-half feet by actual
measurement. jumps into everything
stark and lauds everything Ca arrol!, tilI
sight is lost of the main issue the fact
Stark the Office holders. This editorial,
that Carroll furnishes the majority and
stark the office holders. This editorial,
which will. in about two minutes, be
| appended, spits out more venom against
| Republicans, than all of the Democratic
papers in the district combined have
done In long period of years.
But before you read it, attention
should be called to the fact that Carroll
county is getting just what Carroll
| county bargained for. Carroll is en-
'gaged in remodeling it's hennery for the
fowls that have come back to roost.
one Harvey Eckley came up to Can
| ton, not long since and declared that
Carroll county did not need Judge. He
| brought statistics to show it and on that
theory certain gentlemen girded their
| ioins and proceeded to fatten on the
plum that was thus shaken for their
consumption. A Canton lawyer, an ex-
| celent gentleman, too-was selected to
| fill the bench heretofore occupied and
honored by Judge 1. II. Taylor. Follow
| ing so soon after this political play, a
wall comes from Carroll that the good
| people down there are being deprived of
their rights-the same rights that they
were up here not long since with statis-
| tics to show did not belong to them at
| all.
But the Carroll county gentlemen are
| only wasting energy. Stark county has
| the votes. and the Honorable Henry w.
| Harter will land the persimmon with
ease so consummate that the gentlemen
| of Carroll will not even have left the
| starting post and all that will remain
| for them is the gracious privilege of
again turning to the polls and furnish
ing the majority.
The situation has now resolved it's
| self into nothing but real humor, of
which the Republican Standard is fur
nishing the greatest number of side
splitting laughs. Other than on the
ground of its real humor the News
Democrat could not find space for the
| wailing utterance. But the two min
| utes have expired, and here is the
editorial shorn of it's leads and slugs
and its bold-face reduced to straight
minion:
| Last Saturday morning coterie of
| r. Cd tn
met in Canton to consider the interests
of the judicial district composed of the
| counties of Carroll, Columbiana and
| Stark. The petition which occasioned
the meeting was signed by thirty three
attorneys and the meeting was attend
ed by thirty-five. After the meeting
had been organized and its object stated
committee was appointed which re-
tired and having deliberated reported
series of resolutions announcing the
pleasing fact that Hon. Henry w. Har-
ter had consented at the earnest solicta-
ton of his numerous friends in the dis
trict to become a candidate for the
judgeship. extolling his eminent fitness
for the position and declaring him to be
the logical successor of Judge Il. T. Nc
Carly.
The gathering was non-partisan. The
| secretary, who is Democrat of the
| straightest sect was instructed to fur
nish a copy of the resolutions to all the
papers of the district for publication.
There was nothing said about the pay
the papers were to receive for printing
the ''resolutes' of the literary lawyer,
but, of course. Hon. Henry w. Harter,
who is estimated to be millionaire. will
! whack the regular one dollar per square
for the glowing tribute paid to his legal
attainments by his admiring friends.
The resolutions of this self -const stituted
convention. composed of men whose
claims to political dictatorship lie In a
legal skill which
Divides a hair twixt south and
