Democratic Calummy,

No man that witnessed the infamy and bold plum
dering of the Republicans in Florida for ten years
OF power, is willing ever to see the State in the
hands of that hungry crew again. And the State
never will be in such hands again.-HerGld
For audacity of assertion and paucity of proof,
commend us to the average Democratic journal Of
Florida. Until the Herald is prepared to show the
"plundering and infamy" Of the Republican party
while in control in Florida, respectfully ask its
editor either to point to the specific acts and the
individual perpetrators or hold his peace. We again
challenge the record, and pledge Ourself to show
that for every dollar lost through Republican
officials, will show ten wasted, plundered ap-
propriated through Democratic rule. Come to
the record, aud cease your false and groundIess
sertions and calumnies jacksonville Journal
We take the liberty of anticipating
the Herald, and pointing to a specific act
and an individual perpetrator," making a
selection which has peculiar fitness as a
response to the Journal 1t was the "spe-
ciic act " of Republican Governor of
Florida who received in currency a Ger
tain sum of money belonging to the State
to use part of that money to pur-
chase deprecated scrip at heavy dis
count, and pay that scrip at it's nominal
face value into the Treasury instead OF
the currency, and put in his own pocket
the balance Of the money, as profits
of the netarious transaction. The {" per
petrator" was Governor Harrison
Reed, now editor of the jacksonville
Journal. Will he dare challenge the
record" for proof of what we state OF
course he won't. He does not care to see

seemed rather cheertuland light-spirited.
No reference was made during the break.

and not until the hour set, for the exc

Of grief. Bat when the clock struck 10
she grew deathly pale and as she sat W tb
her hands folded across her breast, as #
in silent prayer, tears rolled down her
marble-hued cheeks and she presented
picture Of heroic grief that can never

She expressed desire shat her sens
should engage in the, work of emanci-II

will certainly do we'll to carefully con-
suit the time tables Of the Baltimore and

it's sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible eareis taken
to insure comfort and eouvenience.
Trains run through without change Of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut a single change of cars to- Iowa,

tages as the Baltimore and Uhio.-Its
costs bat very little time and trouble
