Times Unionl
Senator HendriCks' Position.

Hon. S. NJ Hendricks, Senator from
Clay and Baker counties, passed through
the city en- route to New York yesterday.
To Times Union reporter he said that
he was not an Independent in the sense
that he was supporter of Pope and
Greeley in this campaign. True he was
elected as an Independent, but it was as
a Democrat, and he was in full accord
with his party and would, on his return
from New York, do his best to contribute
to the election of the entire Democratic
ticket, State and National. This is a case
where Pope thought he had scored one,
and it is probable that many Of those he
claims as followers are like Senator Hen
bricks.

The New York Sun seems to think
that it has made remarkable discovery.
when in fact it has only come back to
first principles. 1t would seem that it
has been "of'" so long that truth seems
novelty. Under the caption " Interest
ing to Fishermen it has an able edito
rial in its issue of the 2lst, showing that
more trout can be caught with angle
worms than flies. The stern independence
OF this position would indicate that great
moral possibilities exist in Brother Dana.
who thus dares to antagonize the aristo-
cratic fly OF President Arthur and other
distinguished anglers with the plebeian
earth worm. But it may be looked at in
another way, and perhaps traced to the
true inwardness of Brother Dana's ma
ture, and indicate that he is a mere Dot
fisher after all-which seems the more
plausible Interpretation, in view of his
present political attitude. lie tells how
"a tat worm" will tempt the fish, and
who knows how fat purse will tempt
the editor of the Sun, which "shines for
all who have money?
Judge Speer was before the Orlando
Democratic Club at its regular meeting
last week and delivered short but
effective address, He gave some facts of
history which have a peculiar bearing
upon the political situation, showed what
claims the Republicans have to entitle
them to be considered reformers, and gave
us an insight into the reforms wrought
by them when in control of affairs in
Florida. Unless they have improved won
derfully since they went out of power
the reforms that might be expected of
them would wreck the State during the
first two years of their rule Judge Speer
is an earnest talker, deals in the hard
logic Of facts, and backs his claims with
items of history which cannot be denied.
lie promises us another address during
the canvass, when he will go more deeply
into the comparative history of the two
parties, and give Republicans few hard
nuts to crack Orlando Reporter.
The Republicans are circulating large
numbers of the Irish World, illustrated.
The World has always been cranky, and
never Democratic. In 1879 it supported
Peter Cooper for President, and was one
of the maligners of Samuel J. Tilden.
Four years later it supported General
Weaver. 1t is rampant advocate of so
cialism, greenbackism and the liberal use
of dynamite. Such an organ will have
no influence upon the votes OF self-respect-
ing Irish Democrats. The World has
sold itself out to Blaine, whom its editor,
Patrick Ford, has roundly abused in the
past

These last figures are the most signifi-
nant as showing the true spirit of the
present administration as to the common
school system. If there was not strong
conviction in the minds of officers whose
duty it Is to make these assessments that
the public schools must be supported, it
would be shown here But there is this
conviction, and it is not confined to few,
but it pervades the whole State. Immi-
grafton, individual interests and the ma
terial development Of the commonwealth
all demand that we must educate, and
the taxpayer only asks that the school
moneys be honestly and judiciously ex
pended. 1t is just in this respect that the
Democratic management of the school
system deserves most commentator, the
economical and honest management of
the school finances. We hear nothing
nowadays of school boards being bur-
thened with debts and thereby crippled
in their operations To the contrary we
hear on all hands the present managers
have paid off the Indebtedness left as
legacy by the Republicans and have BAL
ances in their treasures.
In the face of these facts will the people
OF Florida agree to turn the government
over to the corrupt horde who, under pre-
tense of supporting the public schools,
enriched themselves We answer for
them-thev will not.
