Democratic Policy.

DRAYToN ISLAND, FLA, May 20, 1884.
Editor PALATKA NEWS:
[ notice in your paper that Ex-Gov
Drew is willing to become the candidate
of the Democratic party for Governor
and | would like to know several things
which are probably pertinent, and,
therefore, take the liberty to ask a few
questions of THE News and before doing
so, allow me to premise a remark that to
many Northern men Drew's administra-
ton was able and conservative, and did
much to harmonic the different classes
of society and to bring about q good and
kindly feeling between Northern and
Southern men; therefore, would like to
know why Governor Drew was cast aside
by your convention and did not receive
the nomination for the second term ?
What has been the gain by such a pro-
ceeding? Has Governor BlOxam's adj
ministration added anything to the repu-
tation of the Democratic party in this
State for good government over and
above that of Ex-Governor Drew? If so,
in what way? The sale of public lands
and the alienation of the public domain
from the poor man into the hands of the
rich certainly has been in large meas
ure accomplished; and I would like the
friends of Governor Bloxam to state if
this is the browning achievement of the
Democratic rule, since Governor Drew
was so unceremoniously superseded, and
to answer, if they claim the State is any
better off by having millions of her lands
held by foreign spectators and her own
citizens unable to enter or preempt foot
of the lands that belonged to the State
four years ago?
VIII THE News kindly explain these
things to an anxious enquirer, and at the
same time tell us why ex-Gov. Drew
should not be nominated this year?
An OBSERVER.

EDWARD RUSSELL HALL

Edward r. Hall was born at Bridge
water, Mass, in the year 1858, and was,
therefore, 26 years old. He was the son
of Ii. A. Hall, the pioneer in New Eng
land of the large manufacturers and
wholesale dealers i'll rubber goods, and
who was also an inventor of note Mr.
E. r. Hall, at the death Of his father, in
1880, was made Treasurer and Manager
of the finances of the Hall Rubber Com
pany, and, with his two brothers, Ii. B.
and Frank Hall, constituted the firm,
which was and is to-day the largest
wholesale rubber firm in New England.
Mr.. Hall was known among business
men as an exceptionally capable and in
telligent man, whose honor was above
reproach. In 1881, having overworl1ed
himself, he came to Florida. with his
mother, to recuperate his health, and at
the time became financially interested in
the State, purchasing an orange grove at
Seville In 1882, fOrseeing the certain
future development of the Halifax river
country, Mr.. Hall acquired a large in
terest in the Seville and Halifax River
Railroad Company, and was elected
Treasurer. At the time of his death he
was a Director and heavy stakeholder in
the company, aud had come to Florida
to join his associates, who had lately
concluded arrangements for the imme-
diate building of this road. Personally,
and in private life, Mr. Hall was liked
almost acknowledgement the common lot
of men. Combined with his good business
qualities he had the most even temper
and gentleness of manner, and was one
of the most generous men that lived.
Mr.. Hall leaves a large property North
and South. His death was caused by a
collision between steamers Anita and
Princess, when he was returning on the
latter with party of friends from Sc
vile, on the night of the 9th of May,
1884 Thus he died in the prime of life,
in the midst of success, and when his fu-
ture was particularly bright. ***

We held a political caucus then and
there, and you must get Dr.. McMeekin to
write you what he said for the benefit of
the whole county, We wished each
other good luck and shook a black bot
tie brought by Mr.. Munroe, and the time
passed so pleasantly that we were sorry
to see the train.
We learned that Mr.. Barker might be

the chamber was opened, and the maxi

Therefore, after cooling for five hours,
the coccids were subjected for twelve

appeared shrunken; some eggs had col
