In the Key West Ne,Us of the 9th we
find notice of speech made by John
Wallace, in which he is reported as fol
lows:
Hon. John Wallace, the Leon county war
horse, was next introduced, and made the speech
of the evening. He is certainly very able and
forcible speaker, and he carried the meeting by
a storm. He read extracts from different Bour-
bon papers, showing that the Independent move
ment meant death TO the Democratic party, and
that Dyke, the father of Florida Bourbonism,
was the chief mover in bringing about SINNERS
pretended nomination.
Now, John Wallace lied when he con-
nected the name of "Dyke" with the Skin
ner nomination. We have the best reasons
for knowing that that individual never
saw Mr.. Skinner until within a few DAYS
past, never heard of him until after he
was nominated, and never took the least
interest in the Quincy convention or
what was done by it.
Appropos of this meeting, at which
John made "the speech of the even
ing" the Key West Democrat says
that "quite crowd of women, q few
Democrats, and handful of negro voters
made up the gathering. The Democrat
continues:
How hopeless they looked how defeated and
worried were their faces. 1t nearly made the
stalwart Democrats and Republicans sad TO look
upon their present misery and their clouded
hopes. One sickly transparency, with McKin-
mons name on one side and G.. W. Aliens on
the other, was the only banner, light or device.
How fraught with importance, how weghty
with victory did il seem Sad memento, il was,
of what is left of the Corporal Guard. We
mOurned in spirit for its weakness, sorrowed in
silence over their final burial and grieved
were we to the heart at their sad mien and un-
portentous funeral Even the clash of Blake's
Band couldn't awaken a spark of enthusiasm.
Byron's Drama of Darkness was the most fitting
picture of their meeting. Mcknight led OF, but
before he was through his hearers became so dis
gusted that they shouted for Wallace, and after
they had listened to him awhile, the majority
silently stole away and so ended McKinnon's
first and last effort in Key West. 1t showed
what bitter straits certain men in Key West
were forced to take. Well what next?

Mr.. II. r. Smith, of Chicago, ILL.,, was
in this city and county last week looking
for lands. He very soon concluded three
bargains with Mr.. Geo. Fl. Meginniss, ag-
gregating 1880 acres, lying west of Tai
lahassee These lands are all in one body,
are mostly first-class pine. well timbered,
with some good hammock lands. Mr..
Smith has dealt largely in Florida real
estate the past two years, expresses him.
self better pleased with this tract than
any he has seen in the State, and says
here is the garden spot of the Land of
Flowers.
These lands were bought for parties in
Chicago, and deeds were made to three
persons, as follows Edwin NJ Hale, 1880
acres; Lizzie c. Smith, ,2SO acres; P. C.
Hanford, 1920 acres.
We understand that it is the purpose
of these parties to advertise their lands
for sale at reasonable prices, in tracts of
fifty acres or more, and furnish each pur-
chaser with free transportation to Talla-
hassee. This strikes us as very wise plan,
and one that will doubtless aid them very
materially in making sales.
Mr.. Smiths transactions are all cash.
He made several visits to different parts
ofthe beautiful hill country around the Cap
ital City, and was greatly delighted with
all the surroundings. He is very conf
dent of the near prosperous future of this
section, is DESTROYS of purchasing more
real estate here, and we expect to soon
hear that he has invested in more of the
excellent lands of Leon county. {

Nassau is an extreme eastern county
and belongs to the black belt" In the
old days, taxpayers there, in common
with taxpayers the State over, felt that
government as administered by the Rad
icals was an expensive luxury hard to be
borne, but since the change in 1877 the
people have experienced large relief, and
this has resulted from displacing corrupt
financial imbeciles who looked upon gov
eminent as sort of corn-crib from which
the party in possession was to be fed and
substituting for them officials who realize
that government is instituted for the bene-
fit of the governed and not of the COVER
nOrs. A reduction in taxation of nearly
fifty per cent. in four years, with the
prospect of a still further reduction in the
near future, is the best possible evidence
of good and economical administration,
and SO far as this goes it is a reform in
the right direction, viz: in the interest of
the people.
The tax books of Nassau county for the
years mentioned below show the follow
ing comparative results in respect of as
sessments for State purposes in that

Convention of Vegetable Gr

Ii is very much TO he hoped that the citizens
of the several counties in Middle Florida, and
indeed, from all other accessible points in the
State, may take lively interest in, and lend n
full attendance on, the meeting of vegetable
growers to take place in Tallahassee on Wednes-
day. the 18Th of October inst
1t is among the purposes of the proposed con-
ference, in addition to free interchange of ideas
and experiences, to effect the establishment of a
permanent organization in the interest of truck
men, TO carefully consider and adopt standard
packages of the several crops grown, 10 determine
upon certain grades or classfcations of different
commodities put upon the market, to consider
and provide for the supply of suitable crates,
barrels or other cases intended for shipping veee
tables, and enlighten and instruct committee
whose purpose shall be to confer with transpor-
tatiOn companies and effect local and through
rates of freight to points North and East. An
other purpose will be to take steps to efectually
prevent in the future the re-occurrence of the
shameful impositiOns in some instances pTacticed
upon shippers during the past season by ire
sponsble parties advertising themselves In the
Northern markets.
While all of these features are of the utmost
importance to those engaged in the new and at
tractive business of growing early vegetables for
shipment, 1t is quite impracticable in most cases
for any individual truck Imam to consider and
regulate them, and cooperation will be neces-
sary. The very i'm ,ortant question Of the most
approved method Of fertizing and the cost Of
the same, Is also to occupy the attention of this
convention.

very rich, will no donbt contribute few
thousand dollars to that end, or turn over
to him the Hubbell contribution which
would be the same as q contributions from
his own pocket.
Lett be understood from one end of
the District to the other that McKinnon's
candidacy Is no longer on his own account,
but that he is simply in the field as a de-
coy duck for the Radicals. He is not so
stupid as not to know that he is more apt
to be struck by lightning than he is to
come within forty miles of being elected
and that the only effect his continued can
didacy can possibly have is to increase
the chances of SINNERS success. How
many Democrats are there in the District
who are willing to be made tools of for
such purpose?

State taxes
RoIyR RADICAL YEARS.
FOuR DEMoCRATIC YEARS.

Gain in the aggregate $50, s2O.s3, being
an average saving of $s,455.2l year.
But who will compute the gain to the
people of that county and of all other
counties similarly circumstanced from the
better administration of the laws and the
greater security to life and property since
enjoyed by them? 1t is in this particu-
lar, as much perhaps as in lessening the
burdens of taxation, that the benefit of
Democratic control of the government is
perceived and appreciated, for it may be
truthfully said that no section of the

est in this control continuing than that

what Santa Rosa has Gained by
Democratic Rule.

There is no county in the State that
has not derived large benefit from the in
angurationT Democratic administration
in Florida, first, in the establishment of
better government, giving greater security
to life and property on the one hand, and
on the other.at less cost to the taxpayer.
This is illustrated by the comparative
absence of crime the State over and by
the testimony of the textbooks of the sew
eral counties. Santa Rosa is here cited
to show the good effect of Democratic
rule in the extreme West in reducing
State taxation, making the comparison
between the four last years under the
Radicals and the four last years under
the Democrats
