ent Of Schools.
For the first time in the history of
Stark county the democrats held a
strictly party convention Republi-
cans we're not consulted as to what should
or should not be done, and it looks as
though the democrats had made a good
beginning. They did 10 nominate a full
ticket and they did not endorse any of the
nominees of the republican ticket. They
have perfected a strong organization and
have so framed their ticket that the
leaders of the party confdentially cx-
pect to elect at least two of the county
offices, and republicans will admit that
they have some show Of making
good these claims.
