DoUGHERrY AT WORK.

From al parts Of the district come
cheering accounts of the reception
accorded our candidate for congress.
E'Volusia's born victor" is asserting
new claims to the confidence with
which his nomination was received
by his friends With serious fore
bodings we watched the ebb and
flow of public sentiment in Orange
county, but there even Maj Abrams
now gives Perry certain majority
of one thousand and admits that
Dougherty will run behind only two
hundred. That he should make the
race at even pace with Perry we
never hoped, because we satisfied
ourselves that Perry was the strong
est man in the state before we adyO-
Gated his nomination so emphaticalIy
at such an early date; but we had
every confidence that Dougherty
could beat Bisbee long before he
was nominated. The active advo-
cacy of Mr.. Bishop will be valuable
to him throughout East Florida, and
before the campaign is over it will
be fully demonstrated that in choos-
ing man to break forever the pow
er of Bisbee we have realized all our
expectations in Dougherty.
The support given him by his
worthy opponents in the convention
has been most cordial and sincere,
the masses have claimed him as their
special favorite, and all soldiers in
the democratic ranks except Abrams
and his immediate followers, have
greeted his banner gladly and brayely
1t is matter of peculiar gratifi-
cation to us, that our candidates in
the nation and state have borne so
well the fierce light which beats al
ways about the character of nomi-
nees in a campaign. The eyes most
interested in the discovery of faults
have searched the records of our
leaders with microscopic care, but
we have every reason to felicitate
ourselves on the result. In our pres
ent temper the reporter is veritable
Asmodeus, and while his eyes search
the inmost recesses of household life,
his pencil probes the secrets of a
candidates breast for a vulnerable
spot. Hitherto such search has been
without perceptible effect on our
leaders and the useless scrutiny has
been only fresh evidence of our
strength. We will acknowledge
ourselves much cheered by Mai.
Abrams confident calculation, be-
cause we know he is an adept in po-
litical management

REFORM.

The most conyincig argument
ever made in favor of the "short
cut" convention was given by Judge
Hilton of the Economist September
End, 1882. He cites many instances
of like action by other states, but
the whole is answered by the simple
statement that our constitution ex-
pressly provides how changes must be
introduced into the organic law;
that in 1880 the people decided by
large majority against a constitu-
tional convention, and that our
representatives felt commendable
reluctance to impose q change Of
fifty thousand dollars or more on
those who had recorded their I'M
willingness to avail themselves at
that time of such an opportunity.
That the failure cannot be changed
to the democracy alone, is proved
by the fact that many republican
counties gave very few votes in fa-
vor of the proposition.
That democrats have always been
in favor of a revision under the law,
is proved by the fact that immmcdi-
ately after the unfayorablc decision
of the people, they again prepared
to submit the matter to the decision
of the ballot box,
The democracy has always sup
ported the constitutions; therefore
they were bound to observe the
provisions even of one adopted by
their opponents and most obnoxious
to the spirit of our institutions.
That the organic law may be
changed by the sovereign people is
a self evident proposition, but when
this organic law as adopted by the
state, prescribed the mode in which
changes should be made, we think
the people themselves are bound to
its observance. It is poor law in
deed that does not bind its makers.
It is not always in those who cry
loudest for reform that the people
should most implicitly trust. Judged
by this standard, we might all vote
for Blaine, but his record is so clear
" against him that little faith is
put by sensible men in his profess
sions. The record of the damo-
cratic party in Florida adds strength
to its professions, and upon the two
together we rest our confidence in

DIR CRITICS.

We give to-day another article on
the present system of road laws.
The discussion aroused by the reso-
buttons passed in our county conven-
ton should be continued, and
thorough understanding obtained on
these subjects before the time comes
for decisive action. We will give
our views fully and plainly, but it is
necessary that the same subjects be
argued from different points of view
if the masses, usually so careless, are
to appreciate the matters involved.
Therefore we are especially grateful
to those friends who join us in our
attempt to bring such topics before
the public without the excitement
and prejudice unavoidably attending
discussion on the stump by candi
dates, who cannot divorce from
themselves the suspicion of interest
ed motives.
In the matter of our tax assess
ment, much good has been done by
such a course of treatment, and we
will gladly adopt the same line in
regard to other topics which will en-
gage the attention of our next legis-
lature Each of us can bring an in
fuence proportional to the weight
of the subject discussed and the va
lidity of his argument, and in our
columns all shall stand on footing
of perfect equality. We ask only
that we shall be satisfied of our cor
respondents truth and sincerity; it
matters not whether his ideas agree
with ours.
"Who never doubted never half
believed" and no political doctrine
was ever promulgated which salts
fled exactly the wishes even of
majority of its apparent believers.
Politics is simply the art of govern
ment, and those only who attempt
to combine private emolument with
a course of state policy have render
ed odious the name of politician.
Our statesmen die poor; the mere
politician can quickly amass a for
tune. But the art of government is
still far from being an exact science.
The wisest law would be bad and
oppressive if unsuited to the circum-
stances of the people to which it is
applied. Therefore it is not enough
to prove a law is correct in moral
or logical sense, it must also be good
when connected with all the condi-
tons necessarily attending it's prae-
teal operation. Even then, expert
ence may demonstrate the absurdity
of the result reached by the pro-
foundest exercise of trained reasoning
and careful calculation. Therefore
it is most important that the premi-
SEES upon which laws are based should
be carefully viewed and considered
from every standpoint, and to this
end we welcome assistance from any
honest quarter.
