Though the Democrats have reduced
the rate of taxation to less than One-third
what it was when they captured the State
of Florida from tho Radicals, the latter.
led by Pope, complain of high taxation
under Democratic administration. We
force it upon their attention that at the
present rate of taxation in Florida it
would require Oyer three hundred gears
for the State to raise the sum of one hun
dred million dollars-the amount Of
surplus money which the Radical govern
ment at Washington annually collected
directly and indirectly from the people
and locked up from them in the national
treasury. Under Democratic adminIstra-
ton State taxes amounted to less than
third Of million dollars year at the
rate the Radical administration taxed us

The PIONEER EXPRESS assured its
readers In announcing the nominees of
the Park River Convention that the
new ticket would make a big run. But
it was generally felt that the nominees
of the Grafton convention had AN i'm.
mense advantage, by having a longer
time to CANVASS and q better organi.
zation, besides. personally, having
more at stake in the election. Every
one knew that LaMoure would com.
pass sea and land to win this time,
sparing no amount Of money in the
attempt. Knowing the potent means
at his command, there were a good
many doubters in the camp Of ithe
opposition. and all things considered, it
was no wonder. But when the ap.
proximats result from the whole dis.
trict became known, great many
were surprised, none more so than the
ardent supporters Of LaAioure, Will.
son and Bechtel had made a magnifi.
cent run. sure enough. Had the sun.
porters Of Wilson and Bechtel all
been as confident as the other party,
the effort put forth would have assured
a heavy majority for the latter. As
1t is they have reason to feel proud of

A CHANGE or AD16rN1srRA.

1t looks now az II the Democrats
after many weary years Of anxiety

ment. This we regard 20 misfor.
tune, unless it may 10 that . tempo.
rary reverse may do the Republican
party good by stimulating 1t to take
higher ground and lead OF again on
issues more vital to the country. 1t
may he. therefore, that the real per.
manent usefulness Of the party may
be promoted more by this defeat THAI,
it would have been by victory. for
we cannot ses any tl.ing in the history
or achievements Of the Democratic
party that gives hope of its continuing
long to deserve or retain the conf
dence Of majority Of the people.
1t is not to be supposed, however,
that a change Of government from the
Republican to the Democratic party
will involve any radical change in the
conduct Of our national affairs. The
civil tenure act will prevent any sweep.
ing change in the civil service of the
country. Every Republican Office.
holder is secure in his position until
the end of his term, whether one, two
or three years, provided no charge can
be brought against him. The senate
being Republican would resist any
change Of officers for merely arbitrary
reasons and a new administration viii

vice. 1t is to be supposed, too, that
Mr.. Cleveland will surround himself
with some Of the foremost and be-;
men of his party as advisers, whose
reputation and whose interests person.
ally and politically would depend upon
the ability and wisdom with which,
the affairs OF the nation are guided
under their administration. There.
fore, while we believe that a change
from Republican to a Democratic
administration is a change for the
worse we have no fears of any serious
danger arising therefrom that would
threaten the peace or prosperity of
the nation. We will still have a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people, and there
will be no danger of it perislling from
the earth. even under a Democratic
administration.
