The movement of Gen. Perry's cam
paigning party in South Florida Is a
"triumphal progress" as it were, even in
advance of the coming victory. Flags,
flowers, torchlights and booming cannon
-flag-decorated halls, flowers thrown by
Democracy's fair women, torchlight pro-
cessions, saluting guns-welcome and en-
courage the Democratic speakers at va
rious places. Wherever he speaks Gen.
Perry makes a fine impression" says
private letter, and "the people of South
Florida are solid for Cleveland and
Perry-indeed, they are so one-sided that
there may be danger of their not seeing
the necessity of turning out and casting
full vote" An independent is not
to be found in many of the communities
down there, and the people can scarcely
believe that they are in any number any
where, though they know that there are
good many republicans in the State
who they propose to beat in November
as they were never beaten before IN Flor
ida. Perry will come out Of South Flor
ida with a glorious majority, and :he
other sections of the State will swell it to
grand figures.

A New COnstitutiOn-General
Barnes Proves Too Much.

General Barnes in his Tampa speech said that
the Independents, notwithstanding their plat
form are opposed Ia new Constitution, and as
evidence of their opposition cited their nOmIna-
lion of Mr.. Greeley for Lieutenant Governor, who
in the Legislature voted against il. Now in the
same way it might be proven that the Democrats
are oppo.ed to a new Constitution nolwithstand-
ing their platform for they nominated Mr. Ma
session III which Greeley voted against it voted
the same way Tallahassee Economist, August2 90
The editor of the Economist must know
that there is such misstatement in the
above as amounts to grave perversion, for
not only do the Legislative records show,
but t has recently been published
throughout the State, that the positions
Of Mr.. Mabry and of Mr. Greeley on the
constitutional revision question were
widely different He cannot but know
that while Mr.. Mabry opposed the "short
cut - and voted for the resolution looking
To revision of the Constitution according
to the method provided by the Constitu-
ton, Mr.. Greeley voted against both.
Knowing this, what motive could he have

The Tampa Tribuue of the 23d reports
at length "the magnificent success" OF
the Democratic demonstration at Plant
City, where there was grand barbecue,
and the people gathered from all the
country round, and speeches were made
by Gen. Perry, Gen. Barnes, EIector Long,
Messrs Z. X. Foster and ID. e. Wilson.
Says the Tribune:

speech Our space will not permit it, Let il
suffice to say that ii was one OF the ablest clear
est and most exhaustive cxposilions of Demo-
cratic doctrine that we have ever listened TO-,
and We have heard a great many.
Col. Long followed in his own inintable

tor almost an hour and halt. His address was
in the same general style rs that delivered by
him in Tampa, but, he had had time to warm
up to his work, he had greatly improved since

d" Pope. the Reformer."

Dressed in the ragged pretense Of sincerity,
Frank Pope is attitudeniZing before the people
of Florida as seeking reform of the reformers.
We have showed by figures taken from the re-
cord that in eight years the Democrats have
saved the people of the State nearly million and
a half while reducing taxation from twelve 10
four mills and spending three hundred thousand
dollars for educational and charitable interests
more than the Republicans did for the same pun
poses IN the same time. We show to-day, alsc,
from the record, that Putnam county is also in
such contrast TO its condition eight years ago
that a parallel most favorable TO can be drawn
When we assumed the reins of power couniy
scrip was worth from forty to sixty cents. 1t is
now worth one hundred land there is eight thou
sand dollars in the treasury. There are, Of
course, abuses in both county and Stale, but
these are slight in comparison with shameful
scandals under Reed and S,earns, and all are
traceable more or less directly to the abOmna-
BILE Constitution OF 1868.
SO much for Popes party as advocating re-
FORM AS for Pope himself he voted both Tor
and against the I" short cut" attempt to amend
the Constitution, thus showing concusively that
he had no settled policy on the subject. AS all
his claims to the name of reformer is based on
his temporary advocacy of the short cut" it
must be remembered that this movement was
clearly 10 contravention of the Constitution, and
therefore would have proved expensive to the
State without 4 corresponding benefit. The first
session OF tue supreme O0uTt WOuIu nave an
nulled the action OF the short cut Convention
and the whole movement would have only re-
suited in useless expen 1ture of some fifty thou
sand dollars. II Pope can draw any real title to
the consideration of the retormers of Florida
from his advocacy of such measure, he is well
come to it.
Another string upon which he harps when
making music for his dusky satellites is that he
is in favor of civil service reform and digusted
with the machine policy Of both parties. How
is it with himself? We know positively that to
secure supporters he has already promised every
office in Putnam county, and no doubt this has
been done in other counties throughout the
State.
Now these are without The least consideration
for the eternal fitness OF things; in some instan-
at least the hopeful recipients destitute of
every qualification except that of doing cam
paign work Tor Pope. 1t is some consolation 10
the people that these promises will be utterly
barren of results, but they given because
they show the arrant hypocrisy Of our political
demagogue. His only chance OF decent follow
ing in opposition to Perry is based on the igno-
rance of his supporters. Here we acknowledge
he has grounds from which we must drive him
with hard facts and good work. He at least
should vote for Blaine; moments shifting of
the disguise will show tattoong on the flesh OF
each

We print to-day Mr.. Cleveland's letter
of acceptance and that of MIR. Hendricks.
In matter and manner they are in marked
contrast to those of opposing candidates,
whose letters are made up Of diffnse ex-
plantations which amount to apologies
for their party and its record and OF
srecious arguments to show that them
selves should receive the support OF voters.
The people would have been disappointed
in the man if Mr.. Cleveland had initiated
his opponents and issued a prolix cleo
pioneering address, rather than briet
and terse announcement of his views on
vital questions in national politics. I'm
like them he does not obtrude his indi-
viduality, but refers to the duties of the
Office to which the people propose to ele-
vate him just as he might were he not a
candidate, but merely the patriotic states
man that he is. His concise reference to
labor" embodies the philosophy of its
troublesome problems, and the laborer
may we'll be convinced that he is a better
and wiser friend than those who appeal
for support in demagogical protestations
which are the reverse of their rule of &C
ton. The security of the rights of indi
viduals is the paramount object Of gov
ernment-the rights of the poor as well
as the rich-and no one can read Mr.
Cleveland's letter without perceiving that
his mind is fixed on that cardinal princi
pie, and feeling that his official conduct
will be controlled by it's spirit
The letter may seem an off-hand, care
less production to those who read it care
lessly; but if they read it carefully they
will appreciate it as one of those mastery

The violent Bourbon opposition to Pope is
partly based on the fact that he killed white
man instead of a Niger" Had he killed a
negro school teacher, he would have gained
Bourbon immeriality.-Key West Meas.
Menard, the editor of the News, is an
ill-condtioned and ungrateful negro who
bites at the hand that cares for his race.
He knows how we'll negro schools and ne
gro school teachers are provided for I'M
der Democratic administration, but per-
haps he is opposed to it for that reason.
Perhaps he does not want negroes educa-
ted, lest being enlightened they will un-
derstand their own interests and refuse
to be led by selfish politicians like him
self Perhaps he prefers that his race
should remain in ignorance that they may
depend upon such as he is for instruction
and guidance, without knowledge of their
own to inform them that he is deceiver.
lie knows that an ignorant mass can be
more easily led astray than intelligent
persons, and his business being politics
it is to his interest that negroes should
continue ignorant that his following may
continue and his Office seeking claims be
enhanced. The negroes being educated
and Menarl knows the excellent admin
istration of common school affairs under
the Democrats-the occupation of radical
dcmagogues like himself and others, col
,,,.l II militia mill hn in, Llnr;1o
The negroes will be educated to know
that the interests of the white are their
interests az well-that the interests of all
are conserved by good government, and
that this can only be secured when admin
stered by the class who own the property
and carry on the business of the State
agriculture, manufactures, mechanical in
dustries, etc.-which give employment to
the laboring classes and build up commu-
mites. The ribald negro of Key West
echoes Pope's howl, "Bourbons - "Bour-
bons !" while he must know that but for
the Democrats, whom he 80 designates,
the State would be bankrupt, taxation
enormous, business stagnant, property
little improved, industries neglected and
negroes unemployed, and wandering
about ragged, destitute. and hungry,
seeking to get to other States where
Democratic government prevails and men
OF means are encouraged to make their
homes, invest their money and give en-
ployment to labor.
by the way, let the negroes remember
that Menard was Pope's principal tool in
getting their race into the Independent
scrape, which has "busted up" the old
Republican party in Florida. This proves
his untitness as a guide, his unworthi-
ness AZ a leader.

PODeisnl Dying.

1t will come sooner than was expected,
but it is just what was expected. 1t was
expect ed that Pope's little BOOM would
die before election day, but it was not e1-
pected that it would die so quickly as it
will. Already it seems almost dead. He
has attempted to get up meetings at sew
eral places recently and made failures
at each. But few persons would attend
to hear that "oft told tale of speech,
and those mostly of The idle and lower
sort who would follow a hand organ and
monkey, or any other free show. He is
now being generally understood, and by
the negroes, for what he is-a political
mountebank, who is skipping round the
country trying TO humbug them. The
true idea is abroad among them, and it
spreads more rapidly than he can travel,
is ahead of him wherever he goes,
that they have been entrapped into Civ
ing up their party utilization to endorse 4
Fraud bad schemer, who they were in
duced to believe would bring the Demo
Gratis with him. They see that he is de-
nounced by the Democrats, is not sup
ported by the best white men of their
own party, and that even their Republican
State Committee men resign and wash
their hands of him, thus repudiating all
responsibility in his canvass. They real
ize that instead Of bringing them aid from
the Democratic party he comes to them
beggar for their aid to help himself up to
position, and that they are running their
party in the endeavor to do so-that he
brings them weakness rather than
strength. These obvious conclusions are
fast undermining the obligation of the bit
terly contested endorsement of Pope at
Tallahassee, and the spell is broken
which elected sympathetic, prayer
meeting groAns when he invoked the
name Of Deity, and announced, as it were,
that a special Providence had raised him
up to lead them out from political bond
age, etc, etc They see that he is a
''false prophet an FL Mahdi, rather
than a Moses-a "democrat without
| following, a "me too" republican for
otfice-just bad little Pope, no more no
less, and with no chance of election.
| They are in a quandary, and their ques-
| ton is "What shall we dove are given
away to a democrat, who can't be
elected 2" The answer will be with
many, as with the colored editor Of the
Peoples journal, at Jacksonville" If |
must vote for Democrat | will vote for
a good one-tor Perry, not Pope" And
he took down the name of Pope from the
head of his columns, and he put up the
name of Perry, and his trouble was over
and he hurrahs for Perry with a strong
heart, "for when he holers he hslers for
a good man and don't waste his wind"
The journal man calls Pope "the re-
fuse material of the Democrats" and the
opinion is getting about among the col
ored folks that "it he is too bad tor the
Democrats be is not good enough for the
Republicans"

Total.

1t will be seen in the first place that the
number of schools has steadily increased
under the present management. From
1876, the close of Republican rule, to
schools in the State, and from 1880 to
March 20, 1883, the date at which the fig
ures for 1888 were obtained, there was an
increase of 34s, making the total number
organized for the seven years under Dem
ocratic control SOB, or in other words,
over one hundred per cent. increase.
AS to whether these schools have been
sustained in a manner to commend them
to public confidence, we call attention to
the columns showing the attendance of
the children. During the first four years
there was an attendance of nearly ten
thousand pupils, and for the succeeding
three years an additional accession of
1858, making the aggregate increase
% sol for the two periods mentioned.
But these figures are not all. To show
that the Democratic support of the public
schools is not ostensible, but real, let us
see whether or not they have been willing
to tax themselves for their support. BY
reference to the column showing the
amount of taxes, State and county, levied
for school purposes for the years 1876
and 1888 respectively, it will be seen
that there were over one hundred thou
sand dollars more for the present year
than for the last year of Gov. Stearns'
