PERRY'S PROGRESS.
OcaIa's Grand Ovation TO Florida's
Next Governor and His DIS
tinguished Aids.
Special Telegram to Florida Herald.


Special Telegram to Florida Herald
OcALA. Aug. 25.-Ocala has covered
herself with glory and given Perry the
grandert ovation of the campaign. The
town is ablaze with enthusiasm, and
three thousand people listened to the de
mocratic speakers.
The party were met at the depot by a
magnificent procession, a band wagon
floating the national bunting and drawn
by six white horses. Fully one thousand
men ON horseback, with red sashes, fol-
lowed the speakers to the grove, cheer
ing with unbounded enthusiasm at every
step. Such demonstration has never
been seen in Marion county, or hardly in
Florida, and it will have a great influence
on the election in this county.
Col John NJ Martin, Marion's distin-
guished citizen, introducen the speakers.
General Perry, Captain Mabry, Gen.
Barnes and Colonel John T. Graves made
rousing speeches, which were greeted
with enthusiasm. Marion county is de-
termined to redeem herself from radical
misrule and misrepresentation.
To-day has been a field-day for democ-
racy. Advices received here state that
prominent Pope men at Waldo have de
clared for Perry.

CLEvELAND's STRENGTH.
A Vigorous Canvass in New England
with Bright Prospect Ahead.

with Bright Prospect Ahead.
The corresponding secretary of the re-
publican and independent association of
Boston, Mr.. J. B. Gardner, who has
charge of campaign matters of New
England, says New Haven special to
the New York World, is now in the city
conferring with leading politicians, In
answer to inquiries as to the political sit
uation he said:
II am confident-eyen sanguine-of
the election of Mr. Cleveland. You here
in Connecticut have no conception of the
strength of the bolt in Massachusetts, and
Northern New England. In Boston we
have our Committee OF One Hundred
made up of the best men in the city-all
old republicans. Outside of these we
have what we cali our 'skirmish line of
1 800 who have been pledged to work in
the movement. A few of these-very
few-have backslidden, but the organi-
zation remains powerful and intact.
''We have an abundance of funds and
great enthusiasm. Unless we are mis-
taken, we shall carry for Cleveland the
strongest republican wards of Boston
We have sub-organizations working qlli-
etly in almost every town and city in the
state We are distributing documents
freely, not only in Massachusetts, but all
through Maine, Vermont and New
Hampshire"
"How do the Cleve..na SANDERS affect
your canvass p
"Favorably," replied Mr. Gardner,
promptly. why, only the other day a
clergyman came to us to have his name
added to our long anti-Blaine list. He
said that he had decided to vote for
Blaine, but since the managers of the
plumed knights canvass had begun to
vend the scandal he had changed his
mind. He wanted his name recorded
reverend and all Where we have lost
one by the scandal dodge we have gained
five, and one-half of those we have lost
come back. Even Of those who viii not
vote for Cleveland few win vote for
Blaine"
''How about Buffers canvass in Mas
sachusetts? :"
''Butler win hurt Blaine there more
than Cleveland" was the emphatic an
swer. ''ITe will draw away the anti
Cleveland democrats who would other
wise vote for Blaine. As to the probibi-
tionists, their chief leader in the state,
whose political predictions have seldom
failed, told me the other day that St.
John would poll 20, 600 votes in Massa-
chusetts, and that he expected Cleveland
to carry the State

The Peanut Crop.


Boston Post.
With profoundest satisfaction we are
enabled to inform our readers that the
American peanut crop this year promises
to be enormous, in fact the largest ever
raised, amounting, at a moderate esti-
mate, to 100000 bushels, while, if the
weather should continue favorable, it
may mount to the unprecedented figure
of 1000 900 bushels, a gain of 338 per
cent. upon the best yield of any previous
year in our indus,rial history. The
American peanut exerts an important
influence upon the American people, and
the larger the crop the more potent, nat
urally, would be the influence, The
large crop win make the price SO low
that peanuts will be within the reach of
all, and averaging the crop we shall find
that every man. woman and child in the
country is entitled to several quarts OF
the refreshing gouber Were the increase
in whisky instead of peanuts, those who
trace all evils to alcoholic sources would

be an increase of violence and crime

the possibility of cavil, no such record
