PENSACOLA, FLA, January 6, 1894
Editors Fiortdian The whrligig OF time keeps
moving and so does the writer, and we are very
comfortably ensconccd ut tine " Continental,
and that prince of good fellows, ID. X. Hickey
has provided most bouMifully for the temporal
man. | can recommend the 'Continental' TO
all--try it,
The cold wave swept over this city last night
and drove the mercury down to twelve degrees,
and such II hugging of the fires you never saw :;
and the churches were i'll the main stayed away
trOm-all hands sick and cold. Praying was
done at home, suppose, on very large scale
This city is still growing. Another industry
has been started, namely, compress of Ca
pacy of 30 bales per hour, or '2O bales every
"a hours and | learn from Colonel w ID. Chip
ley that the enterprise is proving great success
No doubt this is another OF Colonel ChiplcJ S
enterprises which goes to help build up this thriv-
ing city No one will deny the fact.that Colo
mel Chiplcy has done as MUCH If not more, for
Pensacola than any one man here, and from all
| can learn he is appreciated BY the good people
Of this city.
We were pleased to meet and were kindly
grcetct by w. "a DlOult, IAHVWl It's l'lOiH'IS, -.
F. Sullivan, Brent Brothers, General Perry, and
the Adounct-GdzeHe folks.
At Mariana found a general depression in
trade and the merchants greatly depressed. The
loss by fire and a short crop have stagnaled
every industry but one-that OF shipping chick
ems and eggs This town of Marianne has
shipped since February IL, 1888, 121 900 head of
chickens and 10000 dozen eggs. Ii that don't
take the "bandana rag" what does? Let
some other county come in and claim the check
cred cloth Colonel Mcclellan, Captain Frank
Phillips, with many Others responded to the
call of the FLoRIDIAN, and Mr.. Vaughan, of the
Couritr, gave us his easy chair sorry we could
not bring it along The CDtrier is live paper.
At Milton we were entertained by that ripe
scholar and punctilions gentleman, Major Geo.
g. McWhortcr. The Major is in trim TOR the
campaign of 1884, and You may rest assured he
will deal ont some sedge hammer blows 10 the
radicals-lone live Major McWhorter May his
shadow never grow less.
Now, Mcssrs Editors, Pensacola puts in her
claim for the holding of the next Gubernatoria
and Congressional Convention in this city and
She is backed by all OF West Florida. AT Mari
anna and Milton Pcn>acnlas claim is strongly
urged and think it no more than just. This
part OF Florida was for Il long time cut of from
South and East Florida, and now that the com
pcton OF the p & A. II. r. has supplied the
missing link Pensacola is anxious to welcome in
an appropriate manner the people from all parts
of the State. Pensacola has the largest Opera
House in the State am informed Mr. Su-
van will gladly tender it 10 the Democratic Con-
venton free of charge The hotel accommodate
ton is ample, and they propose To give half or
quarter rates Colonel Chpley, with his usual
public spirit, comes TO the front and proposes to
make the round trip from jacksonville and re-
turn at so, and Cedar Key and Return at $3.50
Now who can beat it? The steamboat meii pro-
pose to keep one two fine large tugs ready to
take the delegates out upon the bay, which is
of the finest in The world
Pensacola is easy of access from all parts of
Florida, and delegates could reach here at less
cos, than any place in Florida, nor will the no
tells " eXlortipnate upon them
| think this ii very modest and reasonable re-
quest, and hope the Democratic State and Con
gressional Executive Committees cannot fail to
grant this request. A more noble and generous
people than these Pcnsacolians are To be found
in America or any other country, and as the re-
quest comes from the whole of West Florida
hope it will be heard West Florida never fails
to do her duty in every campaign. Whenever
the call is made you find her ready.
leave here for Georgia and South Carolina.
Will return in few days to Bronson
