Walter W. Hunt, formerly of this city, but who
for nine years has been orange grower at Alta
mont, in Orange county, Fla, is here for few
weeks, visiting relatives and friends. He says Il
have, different from most Northerners in Flor
iSa, taken considerable interest in politics. 1
~ moderately well informed on the situation of
affairs in the State and believe that it will give
its electoral vote for Blaine and Logan. There
are three candidates for Governor in the field
the straight-out Democratic nominee, the Re
publican and the independent Democratic.
Some Republicans and large number Of
Democrats will vote for the in
dependent candidate, and many Repub-
candidate. The native F1oridians don't care
much for national politics, while they are deeply
interested in the choice Of Governor and the
Northerners in the State for the most part care
little for the State government, as they are new
to the country and not attached to the SOIL and
care great deal for the presidential candidate.
The Governor in Florida, you understand APP
points about all the officials in the State, county
officers not being elected as here and his patron
age is large. Since 1880 there have been thou
sands of Northerners come into Florida, and
the great majority of these Republicans.
These and others viii cheerfully make trades
even for the regular Democratic nominee in
order to carry the Republican national ticket,
and the Democrats are equally eager to make
the swop to carry their ticket and defeat the in
dependents. Besides the protective tariff is an
issue down there, and the Republican national
platform pleases nearly everybody. There is
tariff Of 70 per cent on oranges to keen ont for
eign fruit, and that catches the orauge-gFower:
and when you have him you have almost the
only interest in Florida that is worth consider
