The Right Talk.

The Tavares Herald, edited by St.
Clair Abrams, in hosting the name of
General Finley, says: 1--WE place at the
head of our columns the name of General
Jesse ]. Finley as our candidate for Con-
gress for this District. His nomination
by the Democratic Convention on the I'd
inst. was a fiattering testimonial of his
standing and popularity in this District.
We do not believe that any vindication of
Gen. Finley is at all necessary, but We
say it is necessity to vindicate the peO-
pie of this District against the aspersions
of Horatio Bisbee, Jr. Upon Gen. Finley
has devolved the duty of removing from
the people of this District the stigma cast
upon them by Congress in unseating him
on the ground Of fraud in the election of
1880. We most heartily and unreserv-
edly endorse the nomination. There is no
man in the State for whom we have a
higher regard, for whose personal virtues
we feel a warmer admiration, or for whose
capacity we entertain more profound re-
spect, than we do for those of Gen. Fin
ley. In nominating him the Convention
honored itself as well as the General, and
it will not be necessary to say that the
honors thus conferred upon him will be
worn worthily and we'll
owe call for and demand fair election,
we want the votes counted precisely as
they are cast. If there were any frauds
perpetrated in Madison and Alachua
counties two years ago, we trust that our
friends in those counties will see to it
that there is no repetition of the frauds
this year. The rights of majorities to
govern is a fundamental principle of the
Democracy, and whether that majority be
Democratic or Republican, we desire it to
win. Again and again, and again, Mr..
Bsbee has cast stigma on the people of
this District by charging the Democracy
with frauds prepetrated upon the ballot.
We know these charges to be false We
know that Finley was fairly, squarely
and "honestly elected" two years ago.
As the nominee of the party which cleo
ted him then we are in honor bound to
elect him now, and thus demonstrate how
baseless were the charges of fraud; how
Infamous the act of Congress in unseating
him"

Where Taxes are Low Florida
VS.. MassaChuSetts.

The tax rate Of Orange county is 1880 per
81 900. while in the City of Boston, Mass, il is
$3.50 per 81 ,00O.-TdUdres Herald, August II.
This could not have been said of Or
ange county while the Republicans were
in control of the Government. In those
days taxes were higher than in any other
State, and indeed very few, if anv, of the
debt-burdened cities paid such exactions.
In 1874, "with Stearns as Governor and
McLin organist," the State and county
tax of Orange was t,oenty:four mills, or
$24 per $1,000 of taxable property; in
1875 it was twenty-five mills, or s25 on
the OIL 900, and in 1915 it was tsoenty-tLree
and half mills, or $3.50. Now, in the
year of grace 1882, the Herald tells US
that the same tax is thirteen and a halt
mills, or $3.50 per 81, OOO-and mark
you, this with b loxham as Governor and
Dyke organist %
No doubt the taxpayers of Orange
would like more of the same sort.

far from the lighthouse the propeller's rapid

A Market For American Irish PO-

The following dispatch, which appeared in

vegetable growers, and induce them to increase
their acreage for fall crop of Irish potatoes
" The Department of State is in receipt of recent
advices from Consul Tanner, of Liege. Belgium,
showing that the crops in England and Belgium
have suffered severely through the protracted hot
weather. Farmers in Belgium only hope, al the
best, 10 secure half yield of the wheat crop.
Market gardens have sustained heavy damage,
and Irish potatoes are taken out Of a soil so wet
that they commence TO rot a week after they are
gathered Large importations must necessarily
follow, and American farmers are strongly urged
to devise plans for placing their Irish potatoes
the markets of Brussels and Antwerp, where
they will meet with ready sales this coming
winter"
