The Herald, published at Tavares,

The Herald, published at Tavares,
Orange county, has made its appearance,
and promises to be lively Democratic
journal. 1t is seven-column folio, neatly
printed, well gotten up, and will at once
take position among the ablest journals
of Florida. In an article defining its DO
sition, the Herald says:
Here in Florida the party is in the hands of
the most liberal, progressive and active of its
men. 1t is not possible to review the State adj
ministration Of the last two years without feel
ing admiration and pride in the results attained
Necessarily there have been errors made, no
doubt; but they have been the merest trifies
when compared with the stupendous benefits
conferred upon the State. One stands almost
bewildered by the rush of prosperity which
everywhere presses upon us. To the superb
management of Governor Drew's administra-
ton, much must be credited and we are sure
that no one will or does more heartily credit it
with its share In the work than Governor Blox-
ham but it would be folly to deny to Governor
B.oxham the credit of having put into operation
the varied elements which are now filing the
State with capital, and filing our perlume-laden
air with the echoes of the hammer, the pick and
the saw. And this Is the Democracy that we
stand by, strengthen and sustain.

DR.. c. A. Quirell, prominent physi-
clan of Cincinnati, and the Rev. S. K.
Leavitt, pastor of the first Baptist Church
of Cincinnati, visited our Capital City on
Friday last. These gentlemen came
across the country from Townsville, Ca,
and were on their way to the Indian
river county, where they are prospecting
in their own and the interest of friends,
with view of selecting homes in Florida.
An opportunity was given them OF
viewing the beautiful surroundings of
this city from the cupola of the State
House, and in the afternoon, in company
with Mr.. r. G. Long, of the Immigration
Office, they drove through several of the
truck and fruit farms north and east of
the city, visited the southern shores of
Lake Jackson, and enjoyed several fine
views of the hill tops overlooking that
beautiful valley. Both gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves delighted with the
great beauty and fertility of the Talla-
hassee country. DR.. Quirell, who has for
several winters visited different sections
of the South, especially Texas, Louis
lana, Alabama, Georgia and South Flor
ida, declared that he had never seen 80
attractive a locality as that of Tallahas-
see, and gave expression to an earnest
purpose of returning hither and prospect
ing more carefully, when it is hoped that
both he and Mr.. Leavitt may find loca-
tions suited to their taste and that of
their Cincinnati friends. We of Middle
Florida gladly welcome such genial, hearty
people among us, and recognize the fact
that their presence lends the one thing
needed to make this the most attractive
region of the South.

Ransom" the Washington CORE
spondent of the jacksonville Times, tele-
graphs to that paper on Saturday as fol-
lows:
Florida interests are becoming lively here
have positive information that the Court party
have played their last card in the contest against
Wicker the Collector at Key West, and have
failed to carry the point which they have pushed
for so eagerly. Colonel Wicker will undoubt-
eddy be renOminated in few days. will give
full particulars in my uext letter.
General Ledwith and wife are here and have
taken up comfortable quarters. The General
says he has come to stay until he is appointed
postmaster of Jacksonville. He is very san
guine that this will soon be done.
Colonel Shipman is here opposing the appoint
ment of Howell for Collector at Fernandina, in
his own interest. He is making q strong fight,
but it is doubtful if he succeeds.
Mr.. N. K. Sawyer is here vigorously pushing
his claims for the consulship at Nassau, New
Providence
Mr.. Charles A Boardman, manager of the
South Florida Railroad was here until yesterday,
when he left for Jacksonville. He has been
North in the interest OF an enterprise which will
prove Of the utmost importance to your city and
State; nothing less than line of large light
draft steamers to run direct from Boston and
New York connecting with his road.
The Collectorship at Jacksonville Is in abey-
ance pending the investigation OF certain allega-
tons said To have been made against Mr. Hig-
gins. When General Hopkins was here he made
a personally favorable impression at the Depart
meni, as happen to know.

The Republican majority in the
House are repeating their former methods
Of ousting Democratic members and Civ
ing their seats to Republican contestants.
They commenced with Chalmers of Mis-
sissippi who was voted out and his seat
awarded to Lynch, q negro; Dibble of
South Carolina was next unseated and
Mackey given his place; Finley of Flor
ida followed in the ousting game and
Bisbee succeeds him. The last Democrat
unseated at the present writing is Wheeler
of Alabama in favor of Lowe, but more
will be turned out in the course of few
days. The unseating of General Finley
is an outrage on justice that even fair
minded Republicans in the Second Dis
trict, it seems to us, must condemn and
resent. That he was clearly elected by
the honest vote of the District, after Civ
ing Bisbee every thing he was legally en-
titled to, there cannot be a shadow of
doubt. The unseating of the peoples
choice in this as in the other cases was
predetermined act, regardless of right,
and simply teaches the lesson that Radi-
calism is as vindictive and venomous to-
day as it was during the period of recon

The Jacksonville Times declines

The Jacksonville Times declines to
become an organ for Mr. McKinnon.-
Without any disrespect to him, it
says:
The Key ofthe Cult, published at Key West,
HOSTS the name of Mr.. ID. L. McKinnon al the
head of its columns as Candidate for Congress in
the First Congressional Districts and calls upon
the Times and sundry other OF the State news
papers TO do likewise Speaking for ourselves,
we answer promptly that the Times is not en-
gagged in the hosting" business seeing no
more reason, in fact, why it should place Mr. Nc
Kinnon's name at the head of its columns than
why Mr.. McKinnOn should paste the headline of
the Times the front and back of his coat and 90
into the Congressional battle flying those colors.
The Key included the FLoRIDIAN in it's
call, but this paper expects to "hoist ="
quite different name from that of Mr..
McKinnon's. This gentleman denounces
both parties as corrupt" but instead of
remaining in the one with which he has
been accustomed to act, from which he
has received office, and as Prosecuting
Attorney for the Western Circuit, seeking
to punish the corrupt members thereof, if
such there be, he inconsistency walks out
of the ranks and looks to the other al
legged corrupt party to elect him to Con-
gress ! Mr.. McKinnon may be honest in
his course, but it is plain that his honesty
would have been more apparent had he
first attempted to purify the party before
deserving it. That he did not do so will
subject his motives to grave suspicion.

on the other hand that no fair-minded

Editor FOrdiGn.: / ask small space 10 your
valuable paper to inform the Republicans of Leon
county that the bare expression of the opinion
of the SO called Republican Executive Commit
tee does not express the will of the party.
am very sorry to inform you that they, the com
miitce, have connected themselves with the In
dependents, who promise to give a free ballot
and fair count. Being out in the cold themselves,
| would like 10 know how they will perform
the promises they make to the people. If they
were in possession of the election machinery
there would be some probability of it, Repub-
licans, you must take into consideration thai
those who passed the resolutions on Saturday used
to be leaders. AS the party is not willing to be
led any longer by the would-be bosses, the thing
is premature. If the Republican party was dy-
ing would say, go ahead you are right; but
neither of the old parties are dead or disbanded,
they are alive and kicking yet The mountain
did not go to Mahomet, nor viii either Of the
old parties go to the Independents. If they
were the inns" you would never hear from
them; they happen 10 be the "outs" and that
is the cause Of all this muss
The Constitutional Convention might take
along the Independents, as they are both in their
infancy; by uniting them together they might
possibly exist until the first Tuesday in Novem-
Der next; but the strictest attention must be
paid to them. Some of them have the qualifica-
tons that 1T them for any position, but they
lack in numbers; perhaps they depend upon
stragglers from the grand armies, for they will
be up with the army by the first Monday in No
vember next Be not discouraged, Republicans
of Leon; the rank and file Of the party Is all
right yet, and not in need Of Independents
