In the Legislature by the cOlOred men, and u the
EooAomisfs plans were carried out The entire
cs,ntrol Of county affairs in this and other coun-
ties similarly situated, would pass iut0 the hands
of this class, most of whom are non-property-
holders and nou-tax-payers. We know what
the result would be. The history Ot the Snuth-
ern States from 1885 to 1875 has revealed what
we may expect when the non-iAx-paying and
most ignorant class hOl sway.
There can be no question about the tax levy
in jefferson being high. but this cannot be taken
IS proof that the present administration or lis
predecessor was an extravrgant one. The high
tax is due in great part, as we have shown, from
burdens Of debt incurred previous and just sub
sequent to the war, and which are IN no way
chargeabIe to the present administration. As 10
the taxes in 1875. when S,earns was IvernOr,
which the EeOAo1ist comptres with the taxes nf
the present year. we suspect that an examination
of the tax books would show that there was no
railroad tax levied fH that year. but that all or
nearly all the levy was for aciusl running ex-
penses. AT any rate, we will undertake To say
that fair analysis of the levy Tor that year will
show that the people of jefferson were com
PEELED to pay f'r the current expenses OF the
State and County Governments 10 1875 much
more than they now do. He must be dull OF
perception who fails To discover that there has
been great improvement in our State and
County Governments in the last six years, aud q
considerable reduction in the rates of taxation.

The prospects and probabilities are that this
railroad will be built, and that before great
while. The best, most profitable and most di-
rect route will be from the depot at Quiiman,
through the Hickory Head neighborhOod across
the Aucilla, at or near the Bellamy place-Or
between it and The Jones place. on direct line
to Monticello. Florida. On This route il would
procure all the business from The upper portion
of Madison and the best portion of Jefferson
counties in Florida, and pass through the best
road alter crossing the Piscola creek would con-
tribute largely To the support of the road. The
business on this entire line would be immense in
local way, and could never be, from the natu-
raj Surroundings, diverted from it, OF course it
will not stop at Monticello, but extend To deep
water on the Gull, at or near Dog Island, South
west from Tallahassee and probably via Talla-
hassee.

The Democratic voters of the Second Congress
snnal District of Florida, in Convention assem-
bled, congratulate the people of this COngre>-
sOnal District, and of the entire State, upon the
enhanced material prosperity and Ogress which
has resulted from the triumph OF The CnnseIva-
tive Democratic party. Just and economical
administration of public affairs has brought the
State out of financial embarrassment, and has
commended the States credit TO capitalists, so
that now the States bonds are much above par
The ACKNOWLEDGMENT oil the Internal I'm
prOvement Fund, the liberal fostering of interna
improvements the encouragement and enlarged
effectiveness given TO the public school system
and the exeriiOns TO settle State with immi-
grafton, we nOie as marks of excellence in our
present State administration
As one of the cardinal principles OF Republi-
can Government, We again declare for free
ballot and a fair count, and arraign the Repubi-
can party for violating the purity of the ballot
and trampling upon the rights of the people in the
unjust and high handed usurpation of power in
fraudulently expelling from his seat in Congress-
to which he was lawfully and fairly elected our
Representative J. J. Finley, and seating in his
stead man who was not elected, and whose ciii-
Zenship in this State is matter OF grave doubt.
We reIterate and endorse, with the Democracy OF
the First District, the principles of the National
Democracy, enunciated at Cincinnati in 1880,
and adopted the following as rules of political
action:
mems
istration of Government
B. Lessening the burdens OF labor by reduc-
tion of taxes and offices.
f. Revision of the tariff and amendment of
navigation laws.
s. Opposition TO ccntraliZation as well as Fed
eral interference with local Government
g. Exposure and punishment of corruption in
officials
T. Equal rights, justice to all, without distnc-
tion of race or sectional residence and a cordial
welcome To immigrants from all sections
We insist upon equitable distribution of
the public fund, in The improvement of the coast
rivers and harbOrs OF the South, and mention,
rs especially entitled Ia consideration, the ST.
Johns river, the Suwannee river, Cumberland

live Citizens, without distinction of party, To

the present Congressional campaign. as many
have done in the past, in eleciing our NOMINEE
