DEMOCRATIC plsrRusr GovKESos srEARSs
The democrats do not hope for anything inside OF the
State OF Florida, provided Governor stearns is per
mited usurp functions The Board They do not
nope even to get justice or iuil hearing II he Ia
made the judge Before the Board they are
confident OF proving their absolutely and rrcsst
bly,. Their most obstinate light will be made against
the attempt OF Governor stcarns to himself take jurs-
diction over the electoral returns.
OPINIONS NORTHERN REPUBLICANS
am justified in saying that at least one OF the re-
publicans here from the North docs not believe that
the Governor has tho right these returns
None OF the republicans will say word for pubhca-
ton. They have agreed believe that whatever they
say shall be said concurrcntly over their own
signatures. General Barlow talks quite freely and
fairly, but will say nothing.
The democratic managers ascribe perfectly honest
intentions TO Mr. Barlow and express themselves as
much pleased at his arrival

decisive majority He has every figure at his
fingers ehds, and has arrived at this result

failed 10 get verdict here, they would be able 10
make statement that would carry conviction to tho
country, he replied, with great emphasis, ave
shall get a verdict here sir; we shall &C
verdict here Our majority is positive and lhe tes
timony by which We shall sustain It Is SIMPLY rrcsist

possible they have literally determined 10 rampc
over everything, then presen: such statement
will make tho republican Senate undo the foul
work they have done"

upon certain points at issue, which forward:-

DEMOCRATS ASKED ADVISE
The chairman OF the Democratic State Committee
was on Sunday served with request, signed by Gov
ernor Stenrns which before me, for any written
suggestions on tho question whether the Governor
should not ascertain the result OF the vote for Pres
Dental electors As no statue adjudication the
war has peon shown 10 confer any such power
this request merely the thin cover devised TO mask
infamous scheme that is here IN flower now consrIv
ing do.rxud tho people OF their choice for Governor
and people OF tho United States OF their choice for
President Further corroborate this evidence OF the
scheme loot. 1t should be known Throughout,
the country, as Is well known here that the Gov
ernor has declined confer with his Attorney Gen.
eraI who has maintained not morsly tnat the power

enter upon their duty at once, the time
too that Governor Stearns 10 consulting daily with
rhoso who have given him hints and arc fetching him
nmsy legal opinions and preparing his defence for the
deceiving OF the people Of the United States. When
this rascaiity is consummatcd II should DO
known that W. +. Chandler, who has published
the aschood that all tho counties not yet reported are
under democratic control, when, In fact, not one
county Florida is under anything but absolute and
exclusive republican control has here preferred pub
licly his faith in tho Governors single power,
q power just now dug up out Of
thrtyyear old statute, superseded and repealed in
every line by iater legislation power just now per-
ceiveJ to bc so convenient for tho consummaton
Of this appalling fraud, not upon Florida alone.
