woes continue to multiply. The result
in the Stark county primaries was so
one-sided that her little scheme to run
in candidate for that Office while the
two Stark men were fighting over the
plum. failed utterly. Wilhelm will get
there without even the formality OF a
convention. On the judgeship, every
body has come down except the editor
of the Republican Standard. He is still
demanding gore to satisfy his idea of
political chivalry. His "honah, sab, has
Deen insulted and he has been poun1-
ing his typewriter viciously for some
time past, iterating and reiterating that
Stark county Republicans belong to the
genus sus.
Judge Trip, of the Free Press, on the
other hand, has taken up the pen in the
interests of harmony. He is saying
nice things of Henry w. Harter. and Is
metaphorically kissing the political
hand of Stark that smCte him hip and
thigh. 1t is not that the Judge Is in
terested in harmony, not that he loves
Stark or her candidate, but this is an
opportunity to howl disloyality at Kem-
erer, who runs the opposition paper
here. The judges record for being
loyal when things did not go to suit
him is about as spotless as leopard.
He has kicked over the traces on num-
erous occasions, and at convention
some years ago at Alliance he and q
corporals guard adjourned to the old
Arlington house and ran little con-
vention of their own. 1t has been his
habit for years to refuse to publish the
names of even county candidates who
did not suit him. There has been one
point, however, on which he was always
true-that was his loyalty to Mckinley.
He talked for Mac ad nauseum. His
enemies say it was purely from post
Office reasons.
Carroll county is associated with Har-
rison in representative district. Her
population does not even entitle her TO
separate representation. Two years
ago Harrison county helped defeat Car
rolls representative, ID. o. Rutan, for
second term. A farmer named Ham,
mill got the place. This year Prof.
Beal, of Scio college, has come out to
down Hammill for his second term
Carroll is expected to go for Beal He
is strong Foraker man and is said to
be quite popular. An effort was made |
to spring him in the convention two
years ago. Those who are prognosti-
eating say they can see HammiI's fin
ish.
Canton politicians may be pleased or
sorry to learn that Uncle Cornelius Will
liam F.. Buffers two famous horses
have died. Their age was somewhere
about thirty. For number of years
past they had done nothing but eat
oats and hay in the winter and succu-
lent grass ip the summer. During the
period of their idleness, it Is said that
Butler was m the habit of going out o
his stable every Sunday morning and
he and his horses would laugh about
how they used to take the Stark county
politicians over the hills of Carroll a
little like Horace Greedy went over a
certain western road in "roughing it,"
1t is said that Judge Baldwin, Henry w.
Harter, Congressman Tayler and num-
erous other Canton orators have night
