The counties will select their delegates cilhcr
in mass meetings or Conventions, as may be con-
sidcred best by the people acting through the
usual party organization And it is recon-
mcnded that the citizens in each county assemble
for this purpose at the Court House, or other
usual place of meeting, on Saturday, June II ;
but if they fail TO assemble on that day they
should meet ms early as practicable thereafter.
1t is recommended that where Conventions
are held the precinct meetings for appointing
delegates be held one week prior to HE above
date suggested for the Conventions.
Arrangements are being perfected to secure
largely reduced rates OF travel to and from the
Convention, and this Committee will give to the
County Committees due notice of the results
reached at an early day.
The undersigned, composing The State Excc,l-
tive Committee, call upon all Conservative citi-
zens, without regard to past political differences
and associations who favor the continued su-
premacy OF our party in this State, and who are
willing TO aid the National Democracy in its
struggle for victory in the campaign now open
ing, to unite through our party organization in
sending delegates to this Convention

The GubernatOriaI Campaign.

On Saturday last the Orange County Conven-
ton declared 10 favor Of the nomination of VIM.
d. Bloxham. There was not n dissenting voice
among the ffty-sx delegates comprising the
Convention. One or two were present whose
personal preferences were for Pasco or Drew,
but even these admitted that if Governor Blox-
ham would accept the nomination, his eminent
services to Florida made it the duty OF the Dem
ocratic party of the State to place him at the
head Of the ticket.
We believe that the action of Orange county
will have its effect upon the whole State: be-
cause here We have constituency notable Tor It's
intelligence and its independence We can Sc
cure more than one thousand majority for BOX
ham in this county; we doubt it any other can
didate can obtain five hundred; and ii such
other candidate was nominated on platform OF
hostility TO the policy pursued by Governor
Boxham since his inauguration. il is queslona-
BILE If he could carry the county at all.
That Bloxham is the most available candidate
admits of no doubt In some Of the counties
there il strong newspaper opposition to him,
more or less unworthy In its motives and certainly
not rejecting the sentiments ot large majority
of Democrats. OF course, there are numerous
Democrats IN the State who would make good
Governors and also would make excellent runs
but there is none likely to do rs well as Blox-
ham. We hazard nothing in predicting that
while with him rs a candidate the race will be a
mere walk over, with any Otherit will be fercely
contested struggle. 1t is well known that if
Bloxbam ia in the field large proportion Of the
Republican leaders will support him in prefer
ence to any independent Candidate and 1t is Ger
tain that they will unite against any one else In
sunport of an independent movement.
It follows, therefore, that the nomination OF
Rloxham IL the best that can be done. We are
aware he has declared himself not candidate
but IL will be his duty to accept if the conven
iion declares him Its choice. He cannot consis
tently decline, because his nomination VIII: II
naners have pursued him, amount to vote o
confidence innperaiively demanding his accep
lance and. besides, 1t will remove from the can
vas ali fear of the State going back into the con
tol of the Republicans.

ttOns Compared with Each Other.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, June TO-
| To the Editor Of tile Times Union:
In your issue of the 4th inst, a correspondent
| signing himself Middle Florida Democrat" un.
dertakes 10 show that the credit accorded Blox.
hams administration for n successful manage
ment OF State finances is unmeri,cd. To sustain
his position he makes comparison fiom Comp
trOers reports for three years of each of the last
three administrations. But for Slcarns' and
Drews administration he selects the last three,
and for BoXhamS the first three years The
manifest injustice to BloXham's administration of
such a comparison is at once apparent. when it is
remembered that the first year of an administra-
tion is more affected by the preceding admins
tra,ion, for better or worse Than any other of the
four, and that during the first three years of BloX
ham, administration there were the expenses Of
two sessions of the Legislature to be met while
during the last three years of Stearns and
Drew's administration there was but one session.
We will show, before the conclusCn of This ar-
tcle, that the first year OF Boxhams administra-
ion was affected for worse ny the preceding ad-
ministratiOn, not, we arc free to admit, through
the fault of Governor Drew himself, for he
warned the Legislature of the effect reduction
of taxes to seven mills would have upon the fl
nances of the State, but they disregarl his al.
vice and the consequence was that il required
the utmost sagacy on the part OF BioXham's : al
minlStratiOn to keep the State on n cash basis
We will make comparison between the two
administrations, not for the purpose at disparag
ging Governor Drew's, for every one admits that
it was emincntly wise and successful. but to show
that when this . Middle Florida Democrat" un.
dertakes to prove tina, BloXham's administration
of the finances of the Stale has not been equally
successful and that taxes have not been reduced

After the extraordinary platform adopted by

planks of every kind were introduced without
reference to fitness, the assembled delegates
should complete their work, and, discarding the
now useless and obsolete name-Republicans-<,

pick to pieces and show the rottenness and lnap-
