Under the above caption the Gaines
vile -4drocdte reports the proceedings of
a radical ratification meeting in that city
as follows:
On last Saturday the W 4ls faction Of the Alachua
Republic met in Rop"rs Hall for the purpose Of
ratifying the nomination of ex-Congressman J. T.
Walls, which was made al Fernandina July the
10th With the exception of a street fight in which
the p-ovoker got lip split, the meeting convened
in quite an orderly manner. AS the object of the
meeting was TO show the benefits to he derived fir IN
Bsbee's defeat and Walls election, speaking as to
the merits Of the two men, the order of the day
It noticed that several members of the oppos-
ing faction were present. one Of whom stood in the
aisle with tue butt end Of big revolver protrudng
from his coat pocket. AS the meeting advanced
certain individuals began to become obstreperous
In the midst of deafening calls and cheers, tne
" Little Giant appeared on tbe stage and tor
hour he proceeded 10 narrate to his hearers the
proprety OF Bsbee's overthrow, the uniarness and
partlaty of his actions during four terms of his
Congressional life. When Dennis beg An his speech
he was not generally sanctioned by MS auditors
but before he had half finished, boot heels were
cracking on the floor like trip hammers and such
remarks Il done voted TO- Bisbee befo', but
won't no mo-" were heard in all parts of the hall
During most of the speech, loud mouthed negro
named Caesar Joiner. which negro, by the way was
city policeman, kept up constant racket by in
terrupting the speaker and arguing with Il simple
negro whose name sounded like Fall Down. The
colored Roman, j. T. Walls, followed Dennis in
neat, comprehensive address. LASTLY came +. E.
herent disposition admirable In the Irish spoke
quite huently and freely to the dsrespectful man
ner in which Bishee formerly treated his constitu.
cots of Alachua
When Mr.. Hughes had finished, calls were made
for both Cessna and Lewey Both gentlemen
walked forward, but the calling for both increased
to such extent that any attempt to speak was out
OF the question la view of this, Mr. Lewey stood
up and blushed while Mr. Cessna sat down and
blushed. About this time Caesar Joiner rushed for
ward to the stage and made assault on Lewey
MT Hughes then SOdV planted his m w her
in Joiner's abdominal regions. Joiner having in
his hand double acting revolver, began to ire the
first ball piercing the ceiling and the next shatter-
ing the left wrist of Mr. Hughes and buryng itself
between the bones oil his arm. For instant re
volvers glittered like morning dew on a mulberry
tree, but Sheriff s. &. Tucker rushed tor ward and
in the name of the State dem ,nded quiet arrested
Joiner and promenaded him off to jail. The entire
crowd repaired to the street. and general thrsting
for gore appeared to prevail for few minutes but
the City Marshal and his assistants soon restored
peace. Mr.. Hughes went Immediately to Dr. Nc
Kinstry's Office where his wound was dressed
The ratification meeting was over and nobody
killed

A Campaixn q Falssheea.

An eternal conflict exists between right
and wrong, and ever has since man was
createa-the only creature to be blessed
or cursed in the endowment Of moral re-
sponsibility. Right and wrong. truth and
falsehood, are ever At war, and the best
powers of the human intellect are ever at
work in church and court and printing
office to bulwark the right against the
attacks Of wrong. Man is so prone to evil
that the champions of good hardly keep
even in the fight by doing their level best
against an enemy led by that father of
lies" as well as Of all other Weaknesses
even from the time he deceived Eve, from
the time he induced Cain to slay Abel,
until he entered into aud possessed some
Florida politicians in 1884. When mat
tiers antagonize, the one must be right and
the other wrong-both cannot be right,
for then there would be no antagonism.
The matter at issue being question of
facts the right side sustains itself by
truth, and necessarily the wrong side
meets it with Observation-Disclosures there
could be no conflict and, therefore, the
independent-radical campaign against the
Democracy of Florida is fought with
talsehoods. These remarks are suggested
by a repetition of the lie that Democratic
administration has not reduced the bur-
den of taxation. Every writer who has
asserted this knows it to be false, for his
writings show that he possesses ordinary
intelligence, however perverted. We
weary of repeating that the tax has been
reduced from twelve and a half to four
mills, of giving the official figures show
ing the large decrease of expenditures I'M
der Drew and Bloxham as compared with
those under Reed and Stearns. If we
should keep the facts and figures standing
in the columns of the FLoRIDIAN it would
not prevent their misstatements, for " it
is the liars business to lie" and he
wouldn't be liar if he didn't The au-
thors of misstatements know very well
that they will be read by some who will
not see the refutations of them, and so con-
tinue to make them, being Indifferent as
to the exposure of their own shame.
We put this in very plain language,
for we want the people to learn the char
acter of the men who are against their
interests from the manner in which these
men fight the Democratic party, that
alone can secure those interests. They
are conducting a campaign of falsehood-
in their platform, their speeches, their

and are running amuck against truth and
right in a mad frenzy of malice, conceit
and turbulent ambition.
