Quincy Herald, June 1sl
We have never witnessed such universal salts
faction with our people at the nominations here
tofore made by any convention in the State, a.
is expressed in relation 10 those made at the re-
cent conventions held at Gainesville and Cedar
Key. Everybody seems to have been given the
very candidate they mostly desired, and that all
things went of at the conventions Just as they
wished. This is good, and almost unfailing
sign Of success in the fall
Pensacola Gazette, June 49,
The Tallahassee FLoRIDIAN brings MS a full
report OF the stirring proceedings in the State
capital which celebrated the event of the nomi-
nation of W. D. Bloxham for Governor The
"pet of the people" on his own stamping
ground, as he ls wherever he makes track else
where, there was a Fourth-of July like demon
stratiOn when the telegram from Gainesville an
nounced his nomination. We infer from the ex-
tended report Of the FLoRrDIAE that a common
impulse moved the people TO do honor 10 the
new Governor of Florida-Conover to the con-
trary Notwithstanding The cannon on the
Capitol grounds were awakened to fire the
Governors salute" the Governors Guards, in
full uniform headed by the Tallahassee Brass
Rend, marched on the Capitol building TO bonn
bard with q serenade, and taking q position in
front Of the east portico did it. The building
was Illuminated, decorated with flowers, and
thronged with the lovely women of Tallahas-
see.
There was q tornado of enthusiasm when
Governor Boxham put in appearance on the
pertico. The cannon Yoared, the band made
music, the people cheered, and finally Mr.. Box-
ham had opportunity to be heard after introduc-
ton by Mr.. Brevard Eloquent, as usual, we re-
gret that the copy OF remarks is to hand too late
for publication in to-day's paper
Altogether the occasion was an animated
event-and put the political blood in lively cir
Democratic tickets Federal and State, will rush
through to victory with a whoop and hurrah of
campaign energy.
Gainesville Bee. June III
All we have heard express an opinion on the
subject agree that the State ticket placed in
nomination by the Democracy of Florida is the
strongest that could possibly have been selected
The unanimity with which it was chosen is con-
elusive evidence that the gentlemen comprising
the same are unmistakaby the choice of the
people for the several positions.
Hon. W.D. Bloxham, the nominee for Gov
ernor, is . scholar and true patriot The people
are not only familiar with his political record,
which is without tarnish, and cannot therefore,
be successfully assailed by the opposition, but a
large majority OF them in every quarter of the
the State enjoy q personal acquaintance with
that distinguished gentleman. He is eminently
a man OF the people, appreciating their every
want and necessity, and being possessed of
generous and sympathetic nature, added to which
is great personal magnetism, he win make q
host OF new friends in the present canvass That
he Is strong man with the people we have am
pie evidence in the enthusiastic manner in which
his name was received by the convention He
met with only slight opposition even on the first
and second ballots, and bat for msunderstand-
ing among his friends as to whether he would
accept nomination in the event il were ten
dered to him, we believe he would have been
unanimously nominated on the first ballot
Jasper Spirit Of the Times. June ls,l
The work of the Democratic Convention at
Gainesville is before the people, and we feel q
pride IN the assured success of their labOrs.
The State ticket will prove invincible under the
leadership Of Bloxham and Bethel, while our

purity and honor, has yielded to the earnest ap-
peals of his people and consented to become our
Representative say become our Representa-
tive. because Truth is mighty and must pre-
vail" in ]. ]. Finley, we have the embodiment
OF truth and right, hence we must pTecda Owing

an easy walk over, and but three ballots were
had before the friends Of Governor Drew and
Hon. B. Pasco saw the drih and win of the
delegates. Both of the latter named candidates
were Withdrawn, and the gallant, true and tried
Bloxham received the nomination by acclama-
ton. We can but congratulate the voters Of
the State in the selection Of their standard bearer
and predict now, as we have for years past, that
victory win perch upon cur banner, and Florida
will continue onward in her march 10 wealth
and importance. In the Hon. w. d. Bloxham,
we have progressive economical and able can
didate, one in whom the masses have the utmost
confidence, regardless Of party or race, and who
has ever dared to perform his duty fearlessly and
acquainted with the wants and requirements of
the people, and win be ready 70 execute the laws
with irmness, discretion and impartiality
A carpenter, . colored man, and Q Republican,
remarked the other day that he was for Blox-
ham for Governor; for, said he, +" II Conover ID
elected, there will be no building among you
white people, and we carpenters win have to
suffer"
Score one more for our gallant Bloxham.
