MIR. POPE AT pALATKA.

To one so we'll informed as the
former senator from Madison should
be, some of the positions assumed by
him on the Goth were surprising.
lie acknowledged that the state
lands must be sold; he acknowledge
ed that the interest accommodating on
the claims against them was rapidly
consuming the principal. But he
did not think they should have been
sold to any rich man in body, but
cut up into small lots and sold to ac-
tual settlers at fifty or twenty-five
cents per acre. Purchasers might
have been secured by proclamation
and advertisement and thus homes
provided for POOR men. Now Mr.,
Pope must have known that this
very plan had been tried at great
expense to the state; that ample adj
vertisement had been made both in
this country and in Europe for eight
years under republican administra-
tions as well as that of Drew, that
even Reverdy Johnson had been
sent to England to negotiate a sale,
and that under this trial of his plan,
theannual sales had failed to pay the
interest on the debt which had been
placed on these lands by our carpet
bag government. Knowing this,
and that the hammer of the sheriff
already hung over this public do
main, Mr. Pope argues before an
audience wherein stood about a dog
en- white men, that new trial should
be made of a plan already fully
tried.
The democratic party was arraign-
ed because it had never given the
state a better constitution than that
of 1868, and declared wanting in the
performance of its duty to the pee
pie in this respect when Mr.. Pope
must know that any "short cut" to a
new constitution is contrary to law,
and that the party has made

Mr.. Pope invoked the muse Of

Mr.. Pope invoked the muse of
history to support his assertion that
no political organization could re-
form itself. The young lady rises
to remind the gentleman through us
that it has often heen done Of late
years in the gentleman's own coun-
try. The republican organization
of Pennsylvania purified itself, the
democrats of New York got rid of
Tweed, Tilden reformed the civil
service of his state. Butler elected
by party purged it Of many abuses
in Massachusetts, Cleveland, elected
by a party, has gained himself en-
thusiastic support from large and
influential section Of his party enc
mics for his reform inside his own
party Does the gentleman want
more instances more can be fnr-
nished.
The muse does not support Mr..
Pope.

MIR. HIND AND THE OFFICES,

On the Goth inst. Mr. Hind was
introduced to an audience in Palat-
ka as the "orator of Putnam" and
spoke from the same stand and in
the presence Of Mr.. Pope. Both
gentlemen devoted considerable
time to discussion of THE PALAT-
KA News and the issues brought
forward by us since the Live Oak
conference, but both denied that
Mr.. Pope had ever promised an Of
flee in Putnam as charged by US.
The facts so far are these; Mr.. Hind
has been known as Mr.. Pope's prime
supporter in the county; he received
q letter from Mr. Pope asking him
to name five men as a committee
from Putnam; in exhibiting this let
ter as his authority, Mr.. Hind then
said it was understood that this
committee, so named, would control
the appointments for Putnam coun-
ty. To the facts as here stated,
Mr. Hind himself bore testimony in
the parlor of his hotel, in the pres
encc of several gentlemen immedi-
ately after his denial. Mr.. Pope
came in by request and in reference
to the matter said he should not feel
bound by the recommendations of
this committee, Now we were in
possession of these facts; we leave
the pIblic to decide whether or not
our charge was justified by the
facts. Further developments are
promised, and we may have further
truths for publication, TIE News
will always hold itself accountable
for all in It's columns.

every effort possible under the
law to ensure the calling of a
constitutional convention. In 1880
the people voted against the conven-
ton the democrats give them again
the opportunity Of making q change
of opinion effective in 1884. Mr.
Pope knows that no convention can
be called under the law without pre-
liminaries which necessarily consume
four years at least
Mr.. Pope charged that the demo-
cratic administrator had used It's
official influence to obstruct the ac-
complishment of the viii of the peo-
pie 1t was not the will of the peo-
pie in 1880; how could anyone say
it was the viii of the people now :?
To prove this he said the Hon. B. 3.
Blackwell was elected under pied
ges to do all in his power to give
the people new constitution, had
voted consistently against the meas
uro, and had been rewarded by of
fee. Mr.. Blackwell voted against
the unlawful "short cut" but was al
ways in favor of a legal method Of
amendment Or revision
But space forbids that we attempt
further the exposure of his sophis-
tries and artful statements.
The negroes who listened would
be caught by the peculiar line of
argument adopted, but it was notice
able that less than half a dozen re-
publicans attended to hear him
speak and no democrat has yet de
clared in Putnam for Pope.
The orator devoted considerable
time to THE News, and denied that
he had promised the offices in case
of his election. In face Of the facts
admitted by his lieutenant within
an hour after, he is entitled to all
the credit his words can gain from
the public. He then said that for
one passage IN his life he felt nc
pain, but deep regret
I
He claimed that his residence in
the mines Of Montana gave him pc
culiar claims to represent the work
ing men Of Florida. We left him
while discussing personal episodes
of his career in the state senate.

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE Sun printed aud sold last year

information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, ana sane Wit long enough TO reach
from Printing House square to the top OF
Mount COpernicus in the moon, then back TO
Printing House square, and then thrce-quar-
tiers of the way back to the moon again.
But THE sun is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip OF intelligence
would girllc the globe twenty -seycn or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of copy of THE sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and If his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper III 1888 has af
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
Il is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the.
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
THE Sun IS, and will continue to be, news
paper which tells the truth without f9ar OF
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs which presents
the news all over the world without waste Of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its hears for the cause Of
honest government, and which therefore be-
levcs that the Republican party must 20, and
must go in this coming year Of our Lord, 1884
II you know THE Sun. you Ike lt already
