The regulars of Jacksonville have
been grossly insulted. They sent one OF
their candidates for the Legislature to
represent them at the Radical pow-wow

it was Lucas-W. H Lucas. He was the
speaker of the occasion. For vindictive-
ness Lucas threw Bisbee in the shade, and
any one who can accomplish feat like
that is obliged to be cred hot" And
then his honest frankness in owning that
the Republicans intend TO "niggerise the
State" placed him neck and shoulders
above all others and gave him full access
to the hearts of the "trooly loyal" Nc
doubt he was the true exponent of the
animus of the Florida Radicals. But
look you-and here is where the insult
comes in. Conover's organ here, the
Rutriot, ignores the very existence Of
Lucas-does not even name the man but
for whose presence the meeting would
have been fat as pancake. In its az.

LEON CnuNrY Al

LEON COUNTY, AUGUST 10, 1880.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t was my good fortune to hear
the speeches of the Hons George P. Raney and
T. W. Brevard at the meeting of the Hancock
and Bloxham Club in Tallahassee, on Wednes-
day night last, and while expected much from
the names of the distinguished speakers, must
say that their addresses exceeded my most san
guine expectations, in being so far superior to,
and so entirely different from the usual political
harangues OF the day.
Both Of the speeches indicated not only high
order of intellect but profoundness of thought
and research not cOmmen to political speakers
in general and while not intending to disparage
the eloquent oration of the last gentleman who
spoke; would suggest through you, Mr.. Editor,
that Mr.. Raney be requested to allow his ad-
dress to be published in pamphlet or circular
form for the benefit Of the thousands who could
not be there to hear it delivered, for think it
would be not only an admirable and effective
campaign document for the whole country, but
it ought 10 be read and studied by all the young
men and boys of the whole land. CITIZEN.
