II the free traders expect an ally in
President Cleveland they will be dis
appointed He 10 sensible man and
win not lend himself to any impracti-
cal scheme or radical measure. In the
course OF an interview with a repre-
sentative of a Boston paper Saturday,
the President elect speaking of the
business land manufacturing inter.
ests OF the country and the effect Of a
change OF the administration on these
interests, said: 49, s4l.,. -
at goes without saying that the
Democratic party is made up OF
merchants, business and workingnnen,
and everybody certainly desires good
times and realizes that all the people
must be prosperous TO secure that re-
suit We have 55OO0000 people
almost boundless resources, hundreds
ofthe strongest financial institutions in
the world, thousands of enterprising
merchants, the most skilful manufac-
turers and the most intelligent farmers
and workmen on the face of the earth.
Now, surely, country with these
characteristics has every qualification
for solid and permanent prosperity.
1t will be my aim, and the aim OF all
associated with me in conducting
affairs at Washington, 10 give to the
people of the United States q safe,
economical and conservative govern
menL The fact that so many business
men and manufacturers and working
men voted with the Democratic party
in this election shows that they were
not afraid CT change in the admins
tration. The Democratic party in its
Chicago platform meant what il said
and said what it meant, and will carry
the provisions of that platform which
relate to the business interests of the
country into effect. The most import
ant thing ia to restore confidence, Ia
forget partisan heat and excitement
and devote our time to things which
tend to the substantial welfare of the
country and all of its people. In this
work every man should feel that he
has part to perform ?"

THE claim of Republican politicians
that the North is practically solid for
their party is the veriest bosh, and
would be 30 if they had carried every
State outside of the South. Take Illi-
nois for instance; Blaine's vote was
337, AIS, and Cleveland's 312,349. Where
is any Republican solidity about that ?
Even in Kansas, the most rantanker-
ously radical State in the whole Union,
the Democrats polled $1,000 votes. In
Pennsylvania, where the Republicans
got their largest majority, there were
392,7S5 votes for Cleveland. The fact
is, there are more Democrats in the
three States of New York, Pennsylva-
via and Ohio than there are in the sol
id South, and this talk about Southern
supremacy because the Democrats
have come into power is the silliest
of trash that ought not to fool calf. >

THE New York Tribune, in speak
ing of Mr.. Blaine's Augusta speech,
says, at paid no more attention to
them (the Independent Republicans)
than locomotive pays to snakes that
crawl across its track" It seems that
the Independents paid some attention
to Mr.. Blaine during the canvass, and
it there is anybody who has been run
over and completely "broke up" he is
the fellow.

DREW AND BLOXHAM.

For two months we have devoted
our best efforts to discountenance
the candidacy of either Drew or
Bloxham. Knowing the personalities
which would DE brought into the
contest, we urged upon the infuen-
tial friends Of Mr.. Drew in this
county the absolute necessity of
nominating a third man in the in
terests of party harmony. Gov.
BlOxham had friends as warm and
possessed of at least equal political
weight among us, but these believed
his repeated assurances that he was
not candidate, and in no case urg-
ed his denomination. That Mr..
Drew had declared his unwillingness
to support Bloxham under any cir
cumstances, we knew on the best
authority, and we urged that such
position eliminated the considera-
ton of his name in this convention.
During the sitting of our conven-
ton those who claimed to represent
him denied that he had made use of
such expressions, and exhibited sev-
eral kilograms in support of their
views. AT last came a message over
the signature of Geo. f. Drew. de-
claring 81 expect to support the
nominee of the convention" Now
If the word ''expect" refers to the
idea entertained by Drew that Blox-
ham could not get the nomination.
why should not Mr.. Drew speak
plainly? For before the adjourn
ment of the convention, the Times
Union was received containing his
acknowledgment of the very words
imputed to him !! What a position
for his friends!
Gov. Bloxham has never been 4
candidate, and could not be under
the action of the Gainesville con-
vention which, with the full concur
renee of the party, disapproved of
an immediate denomination. Drew
and his friends have done more to
iniure the party in three months
than the republicans could do in so
many years. Drew's kilograms ex-

VOX POPULI.

The citizens of Orange have done
well in holding the meeting of which
a full report is found elsewhere. In
all things connected with the gov
eminent of our country, it is well
that the people should assert the
authority inherent in them, and en-
force respect for the majesty sur
rounding the ballot. AS we grow
in knowledge of our rights the pro-
fessed politician will wane in the
public estimation and his power be-
come beautifully less. The right of
assemblages to express our senti-
ments is inalienable, and it is our
own fault that we exercise it less
often than we ought. The wire
pullers nominated Blaine; they must
not give governor to Florida. A
free press and free people should
have opinions on public affairs and
no hesitation should be allowed in
their expression except that implied
in the injunction, "frst be sure you
are right" We commend the ex-
ample to extensive imitation.

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.

Window in a Paris Hotel.
PARIS, June 8.-There was quite con-
sternation yesterday at the Grand Hotel.
A young English lady, in robe de mutt
and dishevelled hair, suddenly jumped
from an upper window into the court
yard behind the directors office. The
window was forty feet above the pave
ment of the courtyard and ten feet be-
meath the window is a wide ground glass
protection. The young lady crashed
through the glass, cutting herself pain
fully, but not dangerously, and instead
of being dashed to pieces on the pave
ment, as seemed to the spectators to be
inevitable, she by an extraordinary
chance landed on the neck of one of the
ex-Khedive's horses that happened to be
standingiin the courtyard, and thus al
most miraculously was saved from death
The young lady is Miss Prettyman. who,
with her parents, Col. and Mrs. Pretty
man, came to Paris to see the Grand
Prix. Miss Prettyman few days ago
was attacked with symptoms of typhoid
fever, and during the excess of deIirium
caused by the fever made the fatal leap.
Beyond the shock of the fall she sustain
ed no serious injury.
