Of Ih Nautical fctions The DAYS Of Jefferson apnear to
he coming back once more and instead Of asking what
political advantage viii it be to elect Mr. or Mr.
Congress- the question mooed is Is he honest is he ap-
bic Is he faithful
Shalt we test the Hon Thomas b. Florence by this
sound republican rule All sensible thinking men of all
nolticaI nares will answer in the affirmative Is Mr.
FLORENCE honest He has now nearly completed two SEES
sops as representative of the first congressional district
and hence every citizen has had abundant opportunities of
testing the honesty of his course What promise has he

that even bears the nge of personal ad vanage? lie has
never lent his aid projects by which bad designing
make seat in the national House of Representatives the
stepning-stone to fortune Can his honesty as pub
lie servant be Swallowed by the suspicion of

and zeaouy labored the welfare Of the whole district
He has never known political preference in attending
the business of his constituency Wings democrats
ye-all political parties were equally and honestly rep
resented by Colonel Florence when their individual rights
and interests were concerned.
