A FLORIDA PROPERTY HOLDER.
Is not this a masterpiece of twaddle
1t reminds us of the dulcet appeal Of the
spider to the fly:
"Will you walk into my parlof?
SAID the spider to the n.y."
The poor fly, seduced by the beautiful
description of the "parlor," was foolish
enough to "enter," and that was the last
of him. To turn this State over to Radi-
calism again is to restore the rule of the
corrupt men who made merchandise Of
the peoples inter ests for years. Does
not every intelligent person know that
the prosperity of Florida does not depend
so much upon the election of either Gar.
field or Hancock, as upon the character OF
those scho are to Be at the head Of oar local
government VIII en- Mr.. Cheney, so long
a trusted leader, and now an earnest sup
porter of the Republican electoral ticket,
tells his party that the election of the Re-
publican State ticket "would be curse y
to Florida, he knew whereof he spoke
He knows the corrupt character of the
men who compose that ticket, and knows
the train of evils their election would
fasten on the people. The warnings OF
such man are tenfold more impressive
than the gush of a so-called "Florida
Property Holder" who. if he is what he
calls himself, which we doubt, is either a
land-shark or an officer expectant under
Garfield, with hopes of success depending
upon the way Florida votes for President.
His appeal is too spiderish. Florida can.

self to crafty Office beggers or land spec
ulators. The difference between Republi-
can and Democratic rule, as it has been
illustrated in this State, is so great, that
the people will retain the one and have
none of the other, and this will be de-
monstrated on Tuesday next. Under the
one there was extravaganza ruinous
taxation; wholesale stealing; corruption
in high and low places; lawlessness in a
large portion of the State to such an ex.
tent as to make life and property notori-
ously insecure, while elections were little
less than farces. Under Democratic gov.
eminent no one denies that all this has been
changed; and still the people are begged
and besought to elect the Republican tick.
ct and thus again put their interests in the
hands of a party whose rule will only
be remembered from their abuse of power,
the frauds they perpetrated, and the bur-
dens they imposed land the only reason
given for such an extraordinary course is
that by so doing Florida will be the "a
vorlte among all the Southern States with
the "Garfeld" administration! Il not

or says that Gar6eld's election is already
assured-that Hancock's defeat is fixed
fact. We have heard this same talk ever
since the campaign opened. Brag and
bluster are resorted to for effect, but the
great anxiety manifested to steal the vote
of Florida gives the lie to all their boast.
ing. Hancock's election is better assured
to-day than Garfeld's. If no disaster
had befallen the Democrats in Indiana,
Republican Boosting would have been just
as loud. They are always going to win,
if we believe what they say before the
votes are counted out. It was in 1875
after the October elections as it Is now,
but Tilden was elected notwithstanding.
The parrot cry has been repeated too often
to have any effect New York and New
Jersey are as certain for Hancock as Ohio
is for Garfield. Connecticut is reasonably
sure. So are California, Nevada and Ore
gon, and Indiana i more likely to go
Democratic on Tuesday than Republican,
while Maine in al probability will divide
her vote between Hancock and Weaver.
We repeat that the Republican anxiety
to carry Southern States proves the des-
