An Appeal for the AFFLICTED.

We print in another column an appeal
that must reach more hearts than such as
are ordinarily addressed to the sympathy
and charity of the people. 1t is made by
Rev. DR.. Carter, Rector of st. Johns
Church. Tallahassee, in behalf of the in
mates of the State Insane Asylum, to
whom he has devoted such time as he
could take from the duties which he dis,
charges with such untiring zeal. The
patients are from all parts of the State,
and many of them without immediate
family connections to care for them. 1t
therefore devolves upon the general pub
lie to contribute the little that will cheer
the darkened lives of the unfortunates
during the holidays Like children they
are made happier in most cases by the
simple Injuries that please the appetite
and the trihes that engage their fancy and
amuse them.
State papers are requested to copy DIR.
Carriers appeal, which undoubtedly will
not be in vain.

New York World: Mr.. Elkins now
admits that the mistake of the campaign
on his part was trying to break the solid
ity of the South. He squandered great
deal of money there, and Mr.. Blaine kept
hack his bloody-shirt assault until the
failure to carry West Virginia demon
strated the folly of attempting to capture
Southern States. 1t was then too late.
In some respects Mr.. Elkins is correct,
but his great mistake was in forcing Mr..
Blaine upon the Republican party at
Chicago. He can wear sackcloth for the
remainder of his days for that combined
error and sin.

The feeling expressed at the South over
the election of Gov. Cleveland, says the
Boston Herald, is one Of the most graft
flying and encouraging features of the
triumph. Nowhere is there any hint or
"reminiscences of the "lost cause" or any
claim that the South as section has any
interest in the result which is not COM
mon to the whole country. Indeed, the
sentiment of nationality, so dramatically
and eloquently expressed by Gen. Gordon
at the New York meeting on Saturday
night, is the most noticeable thing in the
southern comments upon the result. The
citizens of those States feel that they are
again to have share in the Government
to which they bear willing allegiance,
and will be no longer prescribed class,
except as to local elective offices. And,
while they welcome this tardy justice,
they take pains to assure the colored
people of the friendlness of which they
have given many proofs during the past
few years. A sagacious southern leader
comedies with the view which we have
expressed, that the partisan solidity Of
that section will disappear, now that the
white race need no longer fear negro dom
nation in the interest Of Republican
scallawags, and the colored people will
have a chance to see that Democratic ru!>
does not mean reinstatement or oppres-
sion. The old sectionalism will die with
the old issues out of which it grew.

rGr CONVICTION CALLED.

Elsewhere we publish comparative
statement of the vote of Florida for 1880
and 1884, in which the vote for the pres
emit year is official, except for the counties
of Brevard, Dade, Manatee and Monroe,
from which no returns have yet been re-
ceived by the Secretary of State. The
official vote thus far returned aggregates
56,57l for Presidential Electors. 56,7s7
for Governor, 5e,327 for Congressman,
and 29,7O6 in favor of calling Consti-
tutional Convention, giving the measure
at this writing majority of 1914, which
cannot be overcome in the four counties
yet to be heard from.
Assuming that these four counties will
cast 5000 votes-in 1880 their aggregate
vote for Governor was {, 25O-and that ev-
cry person who voted for Perry also voted
for Convention, the measure would
have a majority of the highest number
of votes cast for any two candidates for
the same Office of 1880.

THE OFFICIAL FIGURES.

New YORK, November 15.-The official hg-
ures for the Seventh, Ninth and Thirteenth AS
scmbly Districts were not announced until to-
night They are as follows: Seventh-Blane
1882, Cleveland 4,620, Butler 100, st. John 49,

1875, St. John 1874. Thirteenth-Blaine 1876
Cleveland 4,459, Butler 1871, 81. John 100
These show that Blaines vote in New York City
was S9,977, Cleveland's 1903, Buffers 3,a76
and ST Johns 1,160. Blaine's gains were 500
and his Loses 257, Clevelands gains were $40
was, Blaine 56l 1888, Cleveland 562, 1851, Butler
16945 and st. John 25,O75 This makes Cleve-
lands plurality in the State 1913.
The official count of New York has at
last been completed, and the result an
nounced. Cleveland's plurality is l,O7s,
and his majority in the Electoral College
81. The country is now relieved of the
suspense in which it has been kept since
Nov. 4th, by the unwarranted claims of
the National Republican Committee,
supported by the New York Tribune.
What the ground Of those claims was no
one but those making them can know, as
the returns, after undergoing the most
rigid scrutiny, were found to be regular,
with the exception Of few clerical err
rors, and to give the true vote. The
Times, Herald, World, and other leading
New York journals, were all able to give
figures, within few days after the cleo
ton, which Appropriated very closely
the result as finally. announced. The
Tribune, with equal facilities, must have
known the result at as early day. Why,
then, it's persistency in claiming the State
for Blaine until the very last
We can only Judge of the purposes of
the National Committee from the past
history of the Republican party when
placed in similar situation; and the in
dependent press of the country seems to
have speedily arrived at the conclusion
that repetition of the bold and un-
scrupulous tactics of 1875 was contem-
plated. Why should we hesitate to be-
lieve them capable of such measures,
when the very men who were
aiders and abetters in the great
fraud which suppressed the voice
of South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida, are now enjoying the highest
honors within the gift of that party as q
reward for their villaipyp, The fraud Of
1879 was such an unprecedented proceed.

ing that It took the people by surprise,
and Mr.. Hayes was inaugurated before
the country recovered from it's astonish-
ment. But his term had scarcely we'll be-
gun when the reaction set in, and he re-
tired from office with the contempt of
both parties.
In this election the people and the press
were on the alert, and when the Associa-
ted Press began tampering with the fg-
ures, the voice of both people and press
was raised with no unmeaninG sound.
Conspiracy was shifted upon the tainted
air, and woe befall the conspirators.
The weaker hearted, catching the sgnifi-
canoe of the distant rnutterings, soon de-
serted their fellows, and asecond great Ma
tional crime was prevented. The country
may we'll congratulate itself upon the re-
suit.
While the Democracy have gained a
great victory, they should use it judi
ciously and with moderation. 1t must be
remembered that treason in our own
camp would have lost us the battle if it
had not been for our allies. We believe
that the hour has come and the man.
The country will be advanced twenty
years by the result of the election
of November 4, 1884. The barrier, which
the republican party has kept up between
the North and South, will be leveled to
the ground; and we will be once more
a united country, with one destiny and a
common glory.
We rejoice in the success of the democ-
racy principally because it will put the
South in her true light before the coun-
try: and will show the colored people the
true relation of the white people towards
them. and that their leaders have been de-
ceiving them, when they persuaded them
that democratic success meant an abridge-
ment of their rights. The Democrats of
the South have been so grossly misrepre-
sented. both at home and abroad, that
they have long looked forward to this
great day of deliverance, when they
might have an opportunity of proving
the falsity of their maligners and the
baseness of their detractors.
The issues of the past are with us dead
issues. There is "New South" which
is prepared to work out her own destiny,
and to solve the problems, frought with
the deepest consequences, which were
thrust upon her as result of the great
civil upheaval which came so near burst
ing the bonds of this powerful Union.
All she asks in this delicate and RESPONSE
BILE duty is fair play; and the just and un-
biased criticism of her sister States she
will never fear.
