Senator POmerOy Nominated for
President.

Chicago dispatch June Goth says: THE
platform of the American Prohibition
Anti-Masonic Convention declares that
the God of the Christian Scriptures is the
author of civil government; favors the
use of the Bibles in the schools; asserts
that God requires and man needs the
Sabbath; demands strict prohibition
laws, the withdrawal of all charters to
secret lodges, and that their oaths be
prohibited by law; opposes prison and
imported contract labor; pledges the
party to vote for woman suffrage; as
serts that the civil equality granted by
the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fiji
teenth amendments should be extended
to Indians and Cinnamon; that land and
other mOnopOlies should be discouraged:
that the government should furnish a
sound currency; that the tariff should
be reduced, and that polygamy should
at once be suppressed. S. c. Pomeroy,
of Kansas, Gov. st. John, of the same
state, and the Rev J. Blanchard of Hi
nois, were named for President of the
United States. OF the ~ votes cast Mr..
Pomeroy received -, and his nomination
was made unanimous. For Vice Presi-
dent, J. A. Conant, of Connecticut, was
nominated by reclamation.

most progressive ideas of our citi-
zens. That the nomination will be
satisfactory to our party we cannot
doubt; neither can we be apprehen-
sive of the election of any man to be
chosen by those who assemble to-

himself and his party that no. effort

assurance of success doubly sure in

FOR CONGRESS-

The prominent candidates before
the Palatka convention will be
Dougherty, Sanchez and Martin
Each is Endorsed by his own county,
and the contest will be warm and
intensely interesting. But we have
no fear that any such bitterness will
be excited in the district as charact-
erized the preliminary state canvass.
The contestants are all democrats
tried and true, and each will earnest
ly and enthusiastically support the
nominee of the convention when the
decision Is once made. Partisans
are too apt to forget that they are
also citizens; in Florida of late we
have been forgetting to some extent
our duties as democrats. 1t is some
consolation to know that attacks on
opponents within the party usually
operate only as boomerangs, and the
anonymous attack on Darlington
Sanchez in the Times Union will
rather strengthen the chances of
Alachua's entry. Delegates to a
convention are like all Saxons in
their sympathy for the party attack
ed, and the emphatic letter of the
executive committee will give Mr..
Sanchez good start in the race.

count.
In Paris recently a workman fell over
the parapet of one of the bear pits at the
Jardin DIES Plantes, and very nearly be-
came prey to two huge bears awaiting
their afternoon repast. The man lay for
few minutes insensible, with a bad
wound on his head, from which there
was copious flow of blood. The spec
tators for short time kept the bears EN-
ployed, by throwing them broken
pieces of bread, but they made so much
noise i'll carrying out their well-meant
stratagem that the animals were fright
ened away from this frugal entertain
ment, and the male, wandering about in
search of refuge, approached the more
palatable food and licked up the blood
flowing from the PROSTATE sufferer
wound. Amid intense excitement, the
keepers arrived and the man recovered
his senses. Seeing his danger, however,
he lay still, as if dead, while the keepers
prepared a rope, and distracted the bear
from its prey by striking it with long
poles. At length the prisoner clutched
the rope and was speedily hauled aloft,
to the disappointment of the bear, who
displayed much irritation at the with
drawaI of SO dainty and ample Il meal.
The rescued individual, who was badly
hurt by his fall, was conveyed to the
hopital.

Southern pig iron is roofing out
that of the Pennsylvania people in the
east, being delivered there cheaper
than the northern furnace men can
make and deliver it. And now they
want more protection against the
south. The cotton mill men made a
similar complaint few months since.
This sunny land will soon be the
center of iron, cotton and wood man-
ufactures and the richest part of the
nation. But our people must awake
and go to work if they would profit
by the boom.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1884.


An Allan ia special to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat says that on the
night of the 18th inst. a mob of negroes,
about fifty strong, entered a colored
church in that city and attacked the
preacher, trying to kill him, because
he had joined with other colored
preachers in asking Senators Brown
and Colquit to address the colored
people. The negroes say they sold
them out to the democrats. The spec
ial further says: "a thorough invcs>
tigation developed the fact that there
is trouble in several of the colored
churches, and that it has grown out
of politics. In these churches, from
five to twenty-five members have been
arraigned for voting the Democratic
ticket or for attending the meeting at
the Court House, and are being tried
for it. In most cases the feeling be
tween the accused and their accusers
is very strong, and in all these
churches there are two distinct fac
tons. One faction supports the min.
listers and members who heard the adj
dresses, while the other faction de-
nounces them most bitterly andopenly
1t is hard to tell where the trouble
may end, but it involves only those
who are engaged in it..

DRIVING DEMOCRATS AWAY.

In the name of democracy and for
the sake of the democratic party in
Tennessee, we beg the papers and peo-
pie who are still pursuing those who
differed from them to halt. The par.
ty lash is larruped with cruel, sharp
twist and you crack it loud and seem
to enjoy it. But can the party poll
majority next time if you succeed
in "reading out" all those who do not
choose to lick the bosses bootsp' Look
out over Tennessee and see the coun-
ties votes falling off by the hundreds.
Williamson looses 600, Bedford 500,
Marshall 100, Maury 300, Rutherford
1900, Lincoln 1900, Coffee 200, Moore
200-and so on all over Tennessee.
What does it mean? That The people
are tired of such bosses and their in
sOlencel That they preferred not to
vote rather than have something
crammed into them which the bosses
called democracy! Right In the face
of this and as if determined to force
it futher and make Tennessee repub.
lican State, rabid newspaper de-
nounces Sc newspapers in Tennessee
as "putrid and petty journals" "sor-
did, Subsidized" "ccrrupt," trait
orous," Infamous" "bought up"
etc.
As sure as 1886 comes, unless this
bitterness is left off and unless better
and more sensible men shape the pol
itics of the party, Tennessee will stand
in the republican column. This is no
threat, for the writer has sworn in his
wrath never to vote for a republican;
but there are thousands of men who
did not live and see the things he saw
and felt in Brownlow's life, and these
younger men are learning to despise
democracy for the littleness of is
leaders.

renting endeavor persuaded Gile:

it from one party because thought
it was too low. If you have 800, 900
to invest you can secure the privilege

otherwise you can take walk" They
walked out and took drink.
