General George Ii. Sharpe, of New
York, is mentioned as the probable sue
cesSor of the late Secretary Folg-r.
What Know About Buying Votes
in Maine would make good sequel to
Blaine's ''Twtnty years 10 Congress-"
1t is given out that no one has a
greater contempt or dislike for James G.
Blaine than has Chester \. Arthur, OK
cep, Roscoe Conkling.
-Blaine's bribery victory in Maine
will cause the distinguished Mr. Dorsey
to hang his head. His exploits in Indi-
ana ID 1850 are dimmed by the returns
from Augusta.-N j. World
An Independent German Club, at
Cleveland, Ohio, which has 1920 mem-
ber>, has recently declared for Cleveland.
Really it does seem that the people are
determined TO turn the rascals out this
time.
The New York UorM Of the 18th
publishes the atfidavits Of men in Blainc's
own town who we're paid money to vote
for him. Ten dollars was the ruling price
Tor votes, aud TWO hundred were purchased
outright in Augusta alone
Nobody expects General Perry to
abandon his campaign TO canvas the
State with Pope. Even Pope did not
expect him to do it, Ia fact. it was
understood here that Pope had satisfied
himself on thai point before making his
letter public.
We have received the secord number

ocr4tic Journal published at Gainesville.
II j. neat. newev, and ably edited by
Mc>Srs John w. Cuisine and Henry \.
Narnum, who are also the proprietors.
We wish the new journal abundant sue

Meal Dow is now defending lis part
ner. Blaine, says the New York UorlI
10y denying that he bad a promise from
tie Pume'i Knight To personally vote
for the Prohibition amendment This
does not . con>i>; with DDw'> letter to
his New Jersey co-laborer, written july

DR.. John l.. Gaskins. Bradford coun-
tvs .-ble representative in the Assembly
for 1883, has been unanimously nominated
as Democratic candiiate for the Seuate
The nominees for the Assembly are Messrs
W. w. Tumblin and John Croft. Brother
Moore endorses the ticket, and 50 will
the Democrats Of Bradford on The Attn Of
November Other nominations appear
in communications and articles elsewhere
printed.
In 1873 the Radicals assessed State
taxes in Leon county to the enormous
amount of 4l,GsS.95. In this year Of
=. Il, |
same as it was in 1881 under honest
and economical Democratic rule, the peo-
pie OF Leon county re called upon to
pay only $3.50 6 Difference in favor
of Democratic rule, $33. 299.79.
With these facts and figures To confront
him. he who asserts that the Democrats
havn't reduced taxes, lies because he
wants To or because he cant hei it, Re
form was the Democratic watchwurd and
they have wrought reform that the
people can understand and appreciate.
We are moi surprised that Mr. Pope
has challenged Gen. Perry for a joint
canvass. Pope is tired of working Tor
General Perry alone 1t is perfectly natn-
raj that be SHOULD desire. and very con.
siderate in him to offer to divide the
work with the General. But General
Perry, the Stat Committee and the party
are very we'll satisfied with the progress
of the campaign and the prospects OF
grand victory III November Besides.
General Perry cannot afford to abandon
his long list OF appointments and all his
plans for the remainder ot the campaign,
simply To draw audiences for Pope-to
give hun, his mongrel coalition aud their
odious cause, "A seinblance OF respecta-
bility.
The Graphic says of the SUMS pa.
rade of Sheriff Cleveland's execution Of |
the decree Of the peoples court, that it |
appears that the sheriff did his duties
but well. And he is still mod
est with respect to them. He doesn't re-
mark TO people who assemble to hear him |
speak, as General Butler occasionally |
does, Il have hanged better men than
you"
