that party under the direction of
the ignorant majority of their votes,
and that in the ranks of the Democ-
racy are ranged all the elements
which promise substantial good and
further progress to this section.
And in this condition of affairs, a
change is only proof of individual
consistency. The purest of the par
ty have despaired of seeing good
come from any power held by South
ern Republicans; the leaders of the
organization in Georgia have drawn
the color line, and the very machine
itself in national affairs have tried in
vain to limit the preponderant weight
of a mass which represents individ-
nal votes without brains, moderation
or business conservatism.
To these quondam Republicans
the Democratic party owes some of
its most valuable leaders, and to this
class the party is largely indebted
for its ascendency in this State.
Many Of them have become versed
in public affairs; are business men
Of large experience and wide obser-
yation, and our party has shown its
appreciation of their support by
prompt recognition, and strengthen
ed itself by the use of their abilities
in places of high trnst and honor.
They change their views because
the times change; because they find
they have been laboring under a
mistaken Judgment of us for years,
and we repeat, the change is only a
mark of individual consistency,
which, true to principle, over-rides
loyalty to party lines or traditions

The Pensacolian is one of the
leading papers of the State. It's po-
sition makes it capable of judging
as to the merits of a controversy car
ried on at its own doors, and affect
ing the fellow citizens of its editors.
Endorsement from this source is far
more valuable than praises from par
ties in a distant State. The Pensa-
colian quotes some remarks of the
TimeS-Union and then says:
The above is from the Jacksonville
Times Union, and it has evoked from the

1cathing rebuke. To judge from the ed
rtorials of both papers the NEWS is as far
ahead of the T.-U. as the devil is behind
saint. It's editorials are marvels of
rhetoric while the T.-U's productions are
always embalmed in the most inelegant
English. We congratulate the NEWS.

The Philadelphia Times.
1 SSE.

THE PHILADELPHIA TINES. 1884
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its history-more widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
! fiercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able SSOf of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
dates TO advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
/ the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And. while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE Times spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
il a large variety of entertaining and instruc-
/ tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and TO make 1t journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens OF every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population. have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper uIlSdliSI IIk- 1nOSe
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our fOrward-mOying people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
Is gone: and. with il, they are going. too. 1t
was not the fault of the papers; it was the i'm
provement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re-
quire more than news.
THE WEEKLY TINES gathers off the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have astonished us all twenty yeors ago.
DAILY-Twelve cents week, fifty cents a
month, Sc year, two cents copy.
SUNDAY-FOur cents a copy, So a year.
WEEKLY-One copy. 81 a year; five copies
SIS a year; ten copies, SIS year; twenty COP
les S25 year, with one copy free to the getter-
up of every club.

Lapham's Forced Smile.
Louis Republican DEM.

st. Louis Republican DEM.
Senator Lapham is reported as smiling
contentedly when a Republican witness
before the Sherman outrage committee
testified that he voted the Democratic
ticket at the last Virginia election for the
reason that there was no issue except
Niger against white man" and he was
for the white man every time" Mr.
Lapham probably was less contented
than he pretended 10 be, for it is an in
dlsputable fact that nine out of ten
Northern Republicans would do just as
the Virginia man did if so confronted.

CHANGING HIS POTJTTCs

Many express surprise that Nor
thern men who have been ardent
and consistent Republicans at home.
should become Democrats as soon as
they have resided in Florida for a
few years. They usually vote with
the old party for a time, but with
two-thirds of educated Immigrants
from the North the change isinevit-
able and only more or less rapid in
proportion to the depth of their for
mer prejudices.
At home they have been taught
that the negro is poor down-trod-
den creature; that he is deprived of
his rights by open violence, and that
we have neither sympathy for him
nor care for his material, spiritual
or political welfare, while the South
is dominated by a class of Bourbon
Democrats who cannot learn or
change. In a little while they see
that the negro is ignorant, that the
Republicans preserve power, if at
all, by pandering to his prejudices;
that when he has possession of polit-
zeal power, abuse of it follows as in
evitably as the night follows the
day; that power can only be held by

The Secret of Their LiberaIity.

Rochester Union and Advertiser (Dem.)
The wealthy Republicans are willing to
scatter the surplus Federal revenue, to
which they contribute relatively less than
a like number of mechanics and laborers.
just as Blaine is willing to divide the
whisky tax among the states, inasmuch
as his own state of Maine is under pro-
hibitory enactment and is not supposed
to manufacture, sell or contribute to the
revenue derived from whisky!

The Times Union thinks one con-
vention will be enough for the busy
people of Florida. One convention
must be called to meet in June, that
we may send delegates to our ma
tional convention; if this dominates
a State ticket, our business interests
will be distracted by long summer
campaign, and our farm hands will
be leaving work during the growth
of our crops to attend political pow
vows daily and nightly. But the
"powers that be" have decided that
the T.-U. was wrong in thinking an
extra session necessary, and we hope
it is wrong in this also.

1t will be seen in our columns that
a new wing of the Republican party
has been organized in Georgia and
that one NJ. z. Thornton is among
its originators. He at least will
bring reputation of some sort to the

Murder and ROguery.

New York Sun.
If it has been impossible to bring some
depraved brute of a murderer to the rope
in Cincinnati, it has been equally hard to
mete out their deserts to thieves like
Secor Robson and Star Route pirates.
There is this difference, however, public
infamy is inadequate to the expiration of
murder, but to rogues in high places it
means a living death.

At Least One Thing Known of Tilden.
Harrisburg Independent.

There is an indecency in the manner
in which politicians are toying with the
name of Samuel j. Tilden which ought
to be rebuked by somebody. He is daily
dragged before the public, pronounced
eithor to be in a dying condition or de-
clared to be full of vigor and vivacity
His home is invaded, his private life laid
bare for idle gossip with a vrlgarity that
is disgusting. People who have any
knowledge whatever of Mr.. Tilden know
that he is a courteous and dignifed gen.
tleman deserving of respectful treatment
