attain a profcssorship in school of naval
architecture, for he violates the bottom
principle, which is that the vessel must
have a straight bottom to rest on, to
"trim" on, to move on. He could neither

of the teachings of Jefferson, the great founder
of the Democratic party.-Nem Era
And he man who can preach such doctrine as the
above is either natural born sore-head or disap
pointed offce-seeker, who cares no more for the

Of anybody else. He knows too much to be taught,
yet what he doesn't know would fill a large book
his idea is Indepcndentsm. In other words, the
better element of both parties having refused to
have anything to do with him, he purposes to run

There are two or thee papers in
Florida that are weak enough or false
enough to raise the bald old demagogue
Try that the poor man is being oppressed

which preys upon the poor, robs them
Of their rights" and all that sort Of bal
acrdash. One of these papers is the Madi-
Eon He,c Era. If it knows no better it
ia inconceivably ignorant if it does know
better it is designedly false. 1t may take
either horn of the dilemma it prefers, or
both Few of its readers are 80 ignorant
as not to know that it is utterly unrelia-
hlei; few so wrong headed as to approve

that taxation has been reduced to less
than; onethird what it was when the
Democrats gained possession of the gov

Constitutional Convention.

The impression lie very general here that Gov
Bloxham is opposed TO change in the Constitution
II SO how will the Herald run him on his platform
Our opposition to the renomination of Gov. Blox-
ham has been based solely his opposition to the
calling ola Constitutional Convention, and II there
has been any change in his position In that respect
the Herald seems to be the only party that knows
n.--adrfdRRd Times. April
1t would seem that our able contempt
rary has forgotten certain public express
sions of Governor Bloxham on the Con
stitutional Convention question, which
were printed in many papers and widely
read. Long before the agitation as to
guhernatorial candidates began, Governor
Bloxham, in an interview published in
,ober 20, 1888, used the following Ian
guage:
We have had a division in the Democratic ranks
on the question of calling Constitutional Conyen-
tion, one portion desiring the call to be made in
cordance with the prescribed terms of the present
Constitution regulating the same; the other por-
ti"n. believing in the sovereignty Of the people,
think that call made by the Legislature outside of
the terms of the present Constitution, if ratified by
POP ular vote, would be valid. rhe call has been
made in accordance with the constitutional require
ments, and there will be no longer a division on
tnit point a plank laVorlng CONSTITUTIONAL COH-
vention will be inserted in next platform, and
the Convention will be called Our present Con-
sttution is very defective in many respects, and
hould be substituted by more in accordance
with true republican government.
The FLoRIDIAN has not discussed at
length the matter of calling a Constitu-
tional Convention. We presumed that it
was generally understood that the calling
of said Convention was accepted by the
Democratic party, and thought it quite
unnecessary to enter into new discussion
Of this vexed question.

New YORK, Feb. 11.-As was quite natural
after the advance of last week, slight reac-
ton occurred this morning. Leaders bought
stocks on the decline and in short time
nearly the whole list became firm and ad-
Yanced. Northwestern was marked up from
122 to 1888, Canada Southern followed, ris-
ing from 56M to SIX, and Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy touched 12715. An hour later
Rock Island was the feature, touching 1851
having sold at 1872 when business opened.
Among dividend payers Minneapolis &
ST. Louis common and preferred attracted
the most attention later, selling from "a to
361l. Consolidation of opposition telegraph
lines and their attitude towards
the Western Union kept this
stock paratively quiet and it had up hill
work in getting above opening figures. The
weak spots to-day have been Oregon Trans
continental and Northern Pacific. They de-
elm d in the face of all their surroundings
and appeared to be without support or
friends. AS the shorts covered in the Rock
back to 1888.
Changers continue to show excellent earn
ings. Northwestern, the first week in Feb
ruary, increased $4,000 and St. Paul S91,-
600. Union Pacific December earnings, it
is said, will show decrease Of $3.50, 900.
Il is not likely that good stocks will be de-
pressed much below present figures.
In the closing thirty minutes Union Pacific,
Oregon and st. Paul were all hammered by
the bull party, and the list showed q decline
all round. Early in the day young Wander
bilt's brokers bought heavily of Canada
Southern, and some 5000 shares at noon.
