The Conservative Democratic party Of Florida
win hold State Convention at GainesyiIle, -
Alachua county, on THURSDAY, JUnR 10, HI,
at 12 O'Clock, NJ, for the following puEpoeee:
To choose delegates and their alternaaea %
represent the State in the National Democxaaic
Convention, to be held at Cincinnati, Tuesday,
June 22
To nominate candidates for the Offices Of Gov.
ernor and Lieutenant-G Governor, to be voted for
at the next regular State Election;
To consider the question ramitted TO the States
by the last National Democratic Convention-
whether it be desirable to continue the two-thrds
rule longer in force in the National Convention :;
To transact such other business as may come
before the Convention.
The different counties in the State are requested
to send delegates upon the following basis:
One delegate for the first one hundred votes
or part of one hundred, cast in each county for
the Conservative Democratic Candidates upon
the State ticket at the General Election
in 1915; one additional delegate for every
additional hundred votes, or the last fraction
over the hundred when it amounts to fifty or
more SO cast for such candidates, the number to
be determined by the vote for the conservative
candidate on the general ticket standing highest
on the county vote of each county. But if any
county increased its vote at the election of 1878,
it shall have the benefit Of such increase.
The counties under the above rule will be en-
titled to representation as fellows.
The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1880-06-08

The counties are requested to select their dele
gates at the same time and place and in the same
manner they select delegates to the State Con-
vention
In order that the Convention may act wisely and
conform to the will of the people, it is necessary
that their wishes be well ascertained. This can
only be done through their Representatives 1t
therefore becomes all important that all the
counties be fully represented. In order 10 secure
this desirable end the County Executive Com
mittees of the several counties are respectfully
urged TO spare no reasonable labor and pains to
secure q fair and able representation of their re-
spective counties. Let us enter upon this impOr-
tant and vital work with zeal and energy pro-
portionate to the result desired, ever displaying
that spirit Of harmony and patriotism that should
at all times characterize those laboring together
for the public veal, and for the prosperity, honor
and glory OF the commonwealth

Morocco.

This country, shut in by the Medi.
terranean, Algeria, the desert of Sa-
hara and the ocean; crossed by the
great chain of the Atlas; bathed by
wide rivers, opening into immense
plains; with every variety of climate;
endowed with inestimable riches in ali
the three kingdoms of nature; destined
by its position to be the great CONNER
cial high road between Europe and
Central Asie-is now occupied by about
5000, 900 of Observation-Disclosures, Moors,
Arabs, Jews, Negroes and Europeans
Sprinkled over q more vast extent of
country than that of France. The Ber-
bers, who form the basis of the indi-
genous population savage, turbulent
and indomitable ract-live in the mac
cessible mountains of the Atlas in al
most complete independence of the impe-
rial authority. The Arabs, the conquer
ing race, occupy the plains a nomadic
and pastoral people, not entirely de-
generated from their ancient naughty
character. The Moors, corrupted and
crossed by Arab b ood, are in great part
descended from the Moors Of Spain,
and inhabiting the cities, hold in their
hands the wealth. trade and commerce
of the country. The blacks, about 500,-
600, originally from the Soudan, are
generally servants, laborers and soldiers.
The Jews, almost equal in number to
the blacks, descend. for the most part,
from those who were eXiled from Europe
in the middle ages, and are oppressed,
hated, degraded and prosecuted here
more than in any other country in the
world. They exercise various arts amp
trades, and in thousand ways display
the ingenuity, p.iability and tenacity of
their race, finding in the possession of
money torn from their oppressors re-
compense for all their woes. The Eu-
ropeans, whom Mussulman intolerance
has, little by little, driven from the
interior of the empire toward the coast,
number less than 2,O0o IN all Morocco,
the greatest part inhabting Tangiers, and

Indian Pastimes.

The Piutes of this section not having
any cares of business to worry them.
generally manage to kill time by loafing
around the street corners. The dry
slum pond of the Standard mill pro-
vides accommodations for divertise-
ments for squaws other than that of
taking care of papooses. Every day
Indians OF both sexes congregate at the
slum pond and witness a game of the
squaws-a game similar to that of
shiny" Eight squaws participate
in the game-four on a side. The male
champions arrange themselves on the
ground near the home bases, and after
the squaws divest themselves of shoes
and stockings the game commences.
Each squaw is provided with a bough
of a tree about five feet long. and one of
the squaws throwing a piece of raw
hide in the air the players endeavor
with their sticks to send it to their own
base. An inning, as it may be called,
sometimes lasts fifteen minutes. When
either side wins, the males. champion
ing the victors, jump and shout till the
earth quakes. The sport gives the
participants an opportunity to show
their 1eetness of foot; the piece of raw
hide is thrown twenty yards, and be-
fore it touches the ground sixteen pair
of feet are around it. The side that
wins three innings first is considered
the winning side, and what money the
game is played for is divided equally be-
tween the players.-Bodie (Cat.) NeWs.
