ganization was completed by the election
of Hon. James NJ. Mcclellan of jackson
to the chair. In the Committee on Gre
dentials, Hon. w. III. Cook, of Pomona,
represented Putnam. The twO-thirds
rule was adopted, and nominations were
declared in order. J. B. johnson of
AIachua nominated Gen. VIM. Miller of
Washington, and Mr.. F. p. Fleming of
Jacksonville presented the name of Gen.
E. A. Perry of Escambia in an eloquent
address, which was received with rous-
ing cheers. Mr.. Church Groom of Her
nando nominated Hon, Samuel Pasco of
Jefferson amid great applause. When
Walton was called Col. McCaskill nomi-
mated Gen. VIM. d. Barnes of jackson.
The first ballot showed Miller II, Perry
| 98, Pasco 50 80, Barnes 1925. In this
Putnam gave Perry 5, Pasco 1, Barnes 1.
The second ballot stood Perry 100
Pasco So 4-5, Barnes 80 1-5.

motion in a speech which pays eloquent
tribute to Perry's popularity. The NOM
ination was made unanimous amid the
widest enthusiasm. The rest of the
tale is told in our last despatch.

TT Bothered the Doctor.

DIR. McCosh is celebrated for egotism.
and the best of it he is never conscious of
it. He has a broad Scotch accent, and
the habit of gnawing at the joint of his
thumb when busily thinking. Some
years ago he was lecturing before the
senior class in Princeton college. He
had been discussing Leibnitzs view of
the reason of evil to the effect that man
kind was put upon the earth because
there was less evil here than elsewhere.
One of the seniors inquired: We'll.
Doctor, why was evil introduced into
the world:" "Ahr' said the doctor;
holdingup both hands. we have asked
the hardest question in all Philosophy.
Suckrates tried to answer it and failed:
Plato tried it, and he failed; Kahnt at
tempted and made bad work of it; Leib-
nitz tried it, and he begged the whole
question, as I've been tellin' We: and I
confess" gnawing at the thumb knuckle.
Il confess I don't know-what-to make
of it myself. Troy Press,

Dougherty's candidacy for congress
"Of fine personnel, forcible and fluent
in debate, unquestioned integrity as a
man and democrat, he would be the
peer of the representative of any other
district, in this or any other State.
Added to all this, there is not a gentle
man in the whole district more person
ally popular with the masses, and his
nomination would be equivalent to his
election. allude to and have attempt

Editor DAILY News.
At meeting of the Jeffersonian Dem
Ocratic club held June 10Th, 1884. the
following resolution submitted by R. w.
Bard was adopted.
RESOLVED, That it is not the mission of
the democratic party in the coming
campaign to review the administration.
or settle the personal difficulties of Trew
or Bloxham, but rather so to direct it's
energies that a nominee who will unite
the entire vote of the party shall lead the
ticket.
That while we believe them both to
have worked for the public good, we
cannot afford, nor will we enter into a
personal squabble by recommending the
nomination of either of these gentlemen.
RESOLVED, therefore, that we recon-
mend to our delegates to the state con-
vention to drop the names of Drew and
Bloxham, and urge upon the convention
a name that will ensure harmony in our
ranks and cause great victory at the
polls. William Fl. Peck.
