SATURDAY. last one hundred aud eighty
eight democratic members of the House of
Representatives met in caucus for the
nomination of a candidate for the Speak
ership. Messrs. John q. Carlisle, OF Ken
lucky, S. X. Randall, Of Pennsylvania, aud
). s. Cox, of New York, were placed in
nomination, and the first ballot resulted
in LOG votes for Mr.. Carlisle, 81 for Mr..
Randall and 30 for Mr.. Cox, when the
nomination was made unanimous. Eari-
Gus influences, and at the eleventh hour,
led to much distraction of party opinion
as to the considerations involved in the
election of the Speaker, and a powerful
reactionary movement was made by some
public men and journals i'll favor of MIR.
Randall, in opposition to whom demo-
cratic feeling had consolidated to maj ority
strength throughout the country. But
the movement did not avail, as the result
shows We consider this result very
gratifying, for it indicates the stern adhe-
sion of the democratic party at large to
the cardinal principles which are in issue,
aud that it may make the fight squarely on
these principles in the approaching nation
al election. 1t would seem from the very re-
cent and quite unexpected agitation in ia
vor of Mr.. Randall-and its futility-that
there was obviously too much principle in
volved to be sacrificed to supposed expe-
diency, and for members to be swerved
from their opposition to a man who was
loudly preferred by the republican party
for the position which was in the gift of
the democracy. The consequences of tho
policy of compromise and expediency for
nearly twenty years past have not been
such AS to encourage the practice of the
method in national affairs, and now that
the democracy are seemingly strong
enough to win the battle on straight
issues it would appear the wiser policy to
stand squarely by them, even aggres-
sively-test their strength and the oppos-
ing strength, that sound and safe plat
form may be framed for the party to
stand on in the next election.

General LOrlng on the Egyptian
Question.

General Loring's long experience in
military command in Egypt gives great
interest to his views concerning impen-
ding events there. We print an inter
view with him concerning the causes and
probable consequences of the destruction
Of the Egyptian army in the Soudan. He
is Of opinion that Ell Mahdi is a tool of
the slave traders, and that his army was
recruited and organized with means sup
piled by them, they themselves being its
nucleus. He regards the speedy fall of
Khartoum as almost inevitable, and, in
his Judgment, the logic Of events will
compel England to throw thirty thousand
or forty thousand British soldiers into
Egypt from India or elsewhere to prevent
successful advance from Khartoum
toward Cairo lie deems that number
sufficient.

Death Of Ex-Governor James e.
8 R~~mAa.

Oos~a ~ EAe6OV0E4OE &0AAOS Gls
just as We 60 to press the sad intelli-
gence reaches us of the death Of ex-Gov-
ernor James Z. Broome, near DeLaud, in
Volusia county, Florida, Friday morning,
November %, 1888, at ehalfpast one
O'Clock, at the residence of his son, Mr..
John d. Broome, and his remains now
rest in peaceful repose in the little Union
Cemetery, near the homes Of his sons.
All of the family, consisting of Mrs.
Broome, wife of the deceased, and
Messrs. John D., Thomas H. and James
+. Broome, were present at the last sad
rites.
Governor Broome was born December
Is, 1908, in Williamsburg District, South
Carolina, removed to Florida in 1888, and
located at Tallahassee. He was appointed
Judge of Probate Of Leon county by two
Wing Governors, in succession, although
he was a pronounced Democrat. The
State Legislature then changed the law,
giving the election OF county officers to
the people. This act was approved by
the Governor, and, notwithstanding the
county being largely Wing county, he
was elected Judge of Probate, after a
spirited contest, by a handsome majority.
In 1852 he was elected Governor of the
State and servedHfrom 1858 to 1857. He
also served term as State Senator from
Nassau county, where he had moved in
1861. lie was absent from the State on
the occasion Of both his nominations and
never sought either. He stood without
reproach as a servant of the people, and
fifty-tive years of consistent Christian life
as member of the Baptist Church attest
his faithtulness as Soldier Of the Cross.
He moved from Florida to New York
i'll December, 1865, and was visiting his
children in Florida, having been in the
State one month. He died in state of
comatose and partial paralysis that went
to the brain and heart and took him away.
His sons, John ID. and Thomas II. Broome,
and their families were with him in his
illness and death.
In the death Of Governor Broome,
Florida loses one of her old and formerly
prominent citizens AS Governor of the
State he was eminently practical and pros
porous. During his life no man was more
honored for sterling virtue and integrity.
After the war the Governor moved to
Brooklyn, n. Y, where he has since re-
sided, but the close of his honored career
finds him back on his own Florida soil,
where he yielded up in Christian faith his
useful life.

Democratic Unity demanded.

We are pleased to observe the general
expression Of the State press of the ne
cessity of cordial and united action of
the Democratic party in the State de-
sire to have laid aside all sectional preiu-
dices, and the selection Of the best men
as candidates for Office. There will I'M
doubtedly be strong effort on the part
Of the Republican leaders to foment dis
ism. The Democrat who can be induced
to follow the course suggested by these
counsellors must indeed be dull of COM
prehension, or Indifferent to the great
principles which characterize the Demo
cratic party.
We cannot afford to entrust the desti-
MES of our State to such an administers
ton as would come in power by Republ-
can success at the next election.
There should be in Florida no sectional
divisions in party lines We hear West
Florida, and East Florida, and Middle
Florida and South Florida, spoken of,
but when one can go from Jacksonville
to Pensacola in less than twenty-four
hours, and will soon be able to 90 from
Fernandina to Tampa in twelve hours,
these ancient geographical designations
disappear, and we should be among our
selves what we are proud to appear before
the world, simply Florida. Our interests
are the same from the Perdido to the St.
Johns, and from the ST. Mary's to the Ca
loosahatchee. There is really no North
Florida and no South Florida Florida is
all South
We hope also to see our worthy con-
temporares drop the slang Of the day
about rings. We hear of this ring and
that ring-the Jacksonville ring and the
Tallahassee ring There are, 80 far as
we know or believe, no political rings in
the Democratic party in this State, no
machines and no bosses. We are quite
sure that the worthy gentlemen in our
centres of population like Jacksonville,
Pensacola, Gainesville, Ocala, ETC., earn
estly desire the success of the Democratic
party in the interest OF good government
and the welfare and prosperity of the
State. They give largely Of their time
to the tutherance of this object They
know that organization is necessary TO
meet the thorough and compact organi-
cation of the opponents of the Democratic
party, and they deserve credit for their
zeal and energy.
The gentlemen who form the Executive
Department at Tallahassee represent diff
ferent parts of the State, and certainly
no one would class DIR. Crawford and
General Barnes, and Judge White, and
Mr.. Foster, Mr.. Raney and Mr.. L'Engle
as ring. Tallahassee has a very few resi-
dent politicians, and certainly members
OF the Democratic party are to be &C
counted neither better nor worse because
they reside in Middle Florida, South
Florida, or elsewhere While we all have
all especial interest in our vicinity we can
unite i'll advancing the best interests of
the State by selecting, when the time
comes, men who, on account OF their
high character, intelligence, faithfulness
and honesty, will commend their candi-
dacy to the whole people Of the State.

Governor BlOXh0na.

1t seems that Governor Bloxhain, of
Florida, is not candidate for a renomi-
nation. Those who pretend to speak for
him say he intends to retire from active
politics for awhile This determination
will undoubtedly be regretted by his
friends. His administration has been
very successful, and history will place
him in the front rank Of Florida's Gov
ernor's. He is liberal and progressive in
his views, and since he has been Gov
ernor his chief aim has been to advance
the interests of his State. How success
full he has been the growth Of Florida in
material wealth and population abun-
dainty shows. He has advocated and ap-
proved all measures which tended to in
vite capital and Migrants, and by in
terviews and publications OF one kind
and another has done his full share to-
wards advertising abroad the States ad-
vantages. No doubt there are other
men in the State who are able TO fill the
place of Chief Executive AZ effectually,
but it is doubtful if one will be found who
will serve the people more faithfully and
intelligently. Governor Bloxham is yet
in the prime OF his mental and physical
vigOr, and the record he has made will
undoubtedly open the way to other politi-
cal hODOrR Whather his amhitlon 10 sat.

You mustn't think me proud, you know,
