THE RESOLUTIONS

The resolutions adopted by the
Putnam county convention were
presented with the endorsement of
the entire Palatka delegation. The
motion for their acceptance was
seconded by Judge Vary in forci-
bic and graceful speech which en-
sured their adoption and was most
favorably received by the conven-
ton. They furnish some instances
of the evils which make the consti-
tutional convention provided by the
Legislature necessity evident to all
thinking men.
The endorsement of our platforms
and candidates is hearty and sincere,
and shows that the enthusiasm so
spontaneous in Massachusetts, and
New York finds ready echo
in Florida. The evils of our present
mode of assessment have been fully
exposed with the assistance of
prominent republicans in our col
umns, and alone would authorize a
change in our present constitution.
The hindrance offered to the
growth of our towns by the present
system, viii be understood when we
offer the simple statement that
property in our town which sells
for more than a thousand dollars is
found valued on our city books
for less than one hundred, and our
municipal authorities can find no
remedy for the evil. The county
assessment at present is controlled
in some degree by the valuation af-
fixed by other counties where each

The Changes in the Election Districts
of Putnam County.

In accordance with the statute in such case
made and provided the changes in the boun-
diaries of the election districts of Putnam Couu-
ty Florida are hereby made matters Of public
notice, at the regular meeting the Board on
County Commissioners for said county on jan
uary s. 1888, in compliance with petition 10
such effect,
On motion ordered, That the north half Of
section 2 township II, south of range y east
be embraced within the boundary lines of
election district No. ), as heretofore laid out
with voting place or precinct at G. r. pOtteFs
store.
In compliance with petition from the citi-
zens in the vicinity of and living ut Buffalo
Bun, asking to be annexed TO election district
No. 8: ON motion it was ordered that election
district No. S, be bounded and described as fol-
lows: Beginning at the intersection of the
Ocklawaha and the st. Johns River thence
following the Ocklawaha River to the line be-
tween township ii, range p, and II range 2e
;. 4 K Thence running north to Rice Creek;
thence following Rice Creek to the St. Johns

following said Creek to point where it crosses
the township line, thence west in direct line
to the west bank of the ST. Johns River

WHY is 1T?

Says the Jacksonville Herald !:
g Bisbee has robbed the cornfeld
of another good pillow hand in the
person of d. Y. Hill, colored, of
Palatka, and appointed him mail
agent on the Florida Southern rail
way. 1t is good for the darkey, but
bad for a long suffering people, who
now only get their mail by mere
chance"
Now Hill was for long time
clerk in the post office at Palatka,
and so far as we know, proved eff
cient and faithful. Since leaving
the office he has been doing mer-
camille business: on Lemon street,
and to all appearance, stands well
with his fellow citizens and the
credit of his house is considered
good. If our esteemed contempt
rary finds that he neglects his bust
ness as mail agent we will be glad
to expose the unfaithful servant,
because his experience in the mail
service already acquired would make
him guilty of culpable negligence,
not incompetence. We write this
only to inform others in the interest

HOW CUBANS WILL VOTE.

They Distrust Blaine and Will Cast
Their strength for Cleveland.
A visit to the principal Cuban citizens
of New York, says the New York World,
established the fact that the natives of
that island who are in business in this
city are almost to a man in favor of the
Democratic nominees, and are either dis
trustful of or opposed to Mr.. Blaines
foreign policy. A gentlemen who has a
large business in Beekman street, near
Nassau, said You viii find the more
you inquire that the Cubans are in favor
of Mr.. Cleveland. [ have but recently
returned from Key West, and I found
there that there was extended opposition
to the-recent course of the government in
permitting. if not encouraging, raids on
private houses to discover dynamite or
other filibuster evidences. They have no
faith in Mr.. Blaine's aggressive policy
so-cGlled-and think themselves safer
under Democratic rule Personally
have always been republican, but I
shall this year vote the democratic
ticket"
A Cuban gentleman. who has large
cigar mandatory and whose place Of
business is in Chatham. near William
street, said . don't desire to be quoted
as saying anything political My bust
ness is the sale of cigars and tobacco. and
l would rather you should ask some other
Cuban. 1 will say this, however: we
Cubans are clannish we are exiles from
our native land, the queen island of the
world, forced to leave the land of our
birth ON account of governmental oppres-
sion, and we are ever looking forward to
the time when we may return to a free
land, whether as part of this nation o
an independent republic. We have
watched the course of parties in this
country very closely and we feel satisfied
that our best hopeis with the democratic
party. A good many of Us have been re-
publicans in the past, but we have been
disappointed in the foreign policy of that
party and are inclined to II ust the demo-
Gratis, or at least to try them. l think
you viii find that the Cubans in this city
as rule viii vote for Mr.. Cleveland; at
all event l shall do so"
