genial companion vithal. Where he will locate is

Temperance Again.

SANFORD, FLA, July 10Th, 1884.
Editor PALATKA NEWS:
The temperance advocates of this state
are very liberal. They ask only one
civil right-and that is, that majority
of citizens shall determine their local
policy, and leave to moral influence and
agreement the work of reforming and
saving.
Whether they are right or wise in their
methods, time and reason will decide.
But the question of interest to your read
ers and the public is, will you publish
their brief utterances, so that the public
may read and judge for themselves? Or
will you exclude them from a hearing
The convention of the friends of reform
i'll Palatka respectfully asked their fellow
citizens of the press to give them one
hearing, whether they approve or disap-
prove the views propounded. VIII you
give them a hearing?
Very truly,
J. WoFFORD TUCKER.

and the most active of his supporters in
both parties are, earnest advocates of a
new constitution. The independent plat
form not only charges the democracy
with violating the pledge on this issue
but ''of using executive patronage and
manipulated legislatures to defeat this
much needed and oft promised reform
and demands constitutional convention
upon fair basis of representation by
the shortest practicable methods, that
state and county officials may be made
elective and the constitution otherwise
revised in the interest of the people.
Can Mr.. Pope or his party be more ex-
plicit than this? You also charge Mr.
Pope with joining the republicans"
have you any proof that he has? if so /
respectfully ask you to publish it. Mr..
Pope is no more a republican than Pal.
he only strikes little harder, attacks the
bourbon leaders instead of the creatures,
is more persistent in his efforts of reform
and consistent in having shown their I'M
fitness to govern by insisting on their re-
moval, and in taking the only means
possible to secure it the help of his
fellow citizen at the polls. He has the
courage to work and suffer for pure
just, non-parGisan state government and
to love right more than any party. Mr..
Pope is not a republican, if he was we
would be proud Of of him for the manly
courage he has displayed by defying the
wrath of bourbon democracy, FOR his
great abilities and his character. As it
is we none the less admire him and will
cheerfully work to give him and bis
worthy colleague NJ. Greedy, the largest
majority in November next ever received
by candidate in our state.
Yours Respectfully,
THOS. HIND.

Why Grady Smoke.


When Grady was seeking reelection
in the fall of 1888, Governor Cleveland
wrote to John Kelly as follows:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, ALBANY, OctO-
Der 90, 1883.-Hon. John Kelly-My Dear
Sir: 1t is not without hesitation that I
write this. have determined to do so,
however, because | see no reason why l
should not be entirely frank with you. l
am anxious that Mr.. Grady should not
be returned to the next senate. | do not
wish to conceal the fact that my person
al comfort aud satisfaction are involved
in this matter. But | know that good
legislation, based upon pure desire to
promote the interests of the people and
the improvement of legislative methods,
are also deeply involved. I forbear to
write in detail of the other considera-
lions having relation to the welfare of
the party and the approval to be secured
by a change for the better in the charac-
ter of it's representatives. These things
will occur to you without suggestion
from me. Yours very truly,

In THE News Of July 10Th, you have
an article entitled zone of the issues in
which you say in reference to a new
constitution this is the most important
issue before the people of Florida" And
you assert of the republicans that at no
convention yet held have they asked for
a constitutional convention" | agree
with you as to the Importance of this is
sue and | have reason to believe there
will be no dissenting votes cast against
it by the members of the republican patty
in this state, at the coming election. |
think you must have blushed considerably
with shame for your party when you
wrote 1.-The democracy is thoroughly
pledged to the policy and necessity of
new constitution" Did not the demo-
cratic party with the help of several hun
dred independent republican votes go
into power on the same pledge eight
years ago, and basely betray the people
under Drew and more outrageously still
under Bloxham? How can you expect
in view of the past record of the demo-
cratic pau ~ on this and many other
questions any intelligent citizen would
be so foolish as TO trust them yet a third
time? What guarantee can the party
give that they viii not be as false to their
promises in the future as they have been
in the past? You certainly have not ex-
amined closely the record of Mr.. Pope or
read the platform on which he stands,
or ann sure you would not have charged
him as follows: Nowhere as yet has he

fit of new constitution Mr., Pope is

The papers of any prominence in Mas

Logan ticket can be almost counted on

posed to him are the democratic papers,
the independent papers and about half
of the regular republican papers. Have
these journals become suddenly dudes
and "doctrinaires?'' Isn't it rather an
evidence that there is something wrong
with the company in which they have
been accustomed to train, and whose
society they doubtless leave with real
regret? But Massachusetts, is not eXcep-
tional The same condition Of things
obtains in New York, in the west and
northwest, and to less extent i'll Penn
sylvania. In the south, of course, no
journal, except q very poor scrub, would
think of supporting Blaine any way, and
as for Logan-why, there is no part of
the country in which a "nigger-catcher''
suffers more from popular contempt than
there, If Blaine is elected it must be
without the help of newspapers.
