Monticello Consultation, July 81
Hon. n. n. N. Davidson.


racy of the First Congressional District Of Flor
ida, and that he viii carry ii proudly through
the campaign, as he has in previous years. and
be triumphantly elected our Representative in
the Forty eighth Congress, we have not doubt.
He has been tried and proved faithful Represent
ative-doing all in his power for his constituents
and the general prosperity of his District and
State; and the best evidence that the Demo
cratic voters are entirely satisfied with his past
efforts is evidenced by the fact that he received
an overwhelming majority of the votes Of the
Convention on the first ballot

The inevitable is always the inevitable-right
or wrong Be strong TO meet il. Mr.. McWhor-
ter was defeated for the nomination for Con
gress Mr.. Davidson was successful That
don't mean that Davidson was any better-that
don't mean that McWhorter was any worse
But il does mean that we all must stand by the
Democratic party.
Davidson was not the first choice of the I'D
Udnce Gazette but this journal will support him
and see, if it can, that he is iriumphantly
elected
Cedar Key Journal
Now that Colonel Davidson has received the
nomination to Congress, let every Democrat in
the District bend his energies toward securing
his election. No Independeniism must be en-
couraged for that means Republicanism IN IFS
worst phaze Those who espouse the IndePend-
ent cause soon land into he Republican party
and make our btterest foes.
Mariana Courier, July 81
Colonel r. H. NJ Davidson and Colonel G..
the former gentleman was selected upon the FIRST
ballot, amidst great and continued applause.
The nomination was made unanimous The
Convention, after taking a recess of two hours,
reassembed, when Colonel Davidson was pres
ent and made one of The best extempOre speeches
ever we listened to- No apprehension seemed
TO be entertained on the part OF any member of
the Convention that our siandard-bearer would
be defeated Colonel Davidson cannot he beaten
by any man in the District; We care not for Re
publicans or Independents, or their combinations
Our readers may consider Davidson : nomination
equivalent to an election. lie is beyond a donbt
the strongest and most popular man in the Dis
irict, and will make ms in the future the same
able Representative he has made US in the past
Republicans and Independents admit our wisdom
in nominating Davidson and they win wither
before him. Our people will give him larger
vote this fall than he has ever yet received Da-
wilson is the right man in the right place; our
people want and will have no other
Key West Democrat, July 29l
1T looks as if Democracy in Florida was
busted or torn by conflicting elements, when a
convention can meet and on the first ballot nom
mate a Congressman for his fourth term. Stand
aside / dependents look gloomy Republicans
This fall means a vigorous and aggressive cam
paign. 1t is fight for the young Democracy,
and victory will perch on our banners.
Tampa Progress, July 81
AS will he seen by the above, Davidson has
been renominated The representatives, of the
people, in convention assembled, have faithfully
given voice 10 the sentiments of the people who
elected them. That he was the first and last
choice of the voters OF at least the southern pOr-
ton of the district, was evident 10 all long before
the Convention assembled and the Convention,
so far as these counties were concerned, was but
form. We most heartily and enthusiastically
endorse the nomination, in behalf of HILLSIDE
rough county, and of the southern counties at
large Il is eminenily wise and proper one,
this junciure 1t stills all murmurs Of discomfort
and unites the party in the district more firmly
and solidly than any other could have done Ii
is superhuous TO eulogize our nominee; our peo-
pie know him and love him. and will again elect
him TO the high position he has so honoTably and
faithfully filled in the past.

Hon. n. III. VI. Davidson
We hoist TO our masthead this week the Dem
ocratic nominee for Congregation r. H. NJ
Davidson.
While this distinguished gentleman, for the
fourth time hOnored with the nomination in our
humble opinion, is not the strongest and most
available one the party could have put forth al
this particular juncture, yet his election will
place stamp of honor on the Democracy of this
district, and would be proper recognition of an
acceptable public
The voter should not fall into the common
error OF sitting down in a self satisfied manner,
with folded hands, after the adjournment of the
convention, and expect the nominee TO do all
the work OF heated campaign. This, rs we
have said, is NOT only common error, but the |
rankes folly, and bid for defeat, as activity and /
party interest is Distinguishing Characteristic /
of the enemy. Ii Democrats desire and expect /
the success of the party they must 60 10 work. i
take an individual interest in the matter, and /
labor as becomes good and true Democrats. and
as party allegiance demands. This is essentially
necessary To attain the desired end. Then let us
become thoroughly imbued with the importance
of concert of action; work with determination
TO gain a sweeping victory.
