Senators and Congressman have
their occasional jokes in the White
House if they are out of humor
with the President. A Senator en-
tered the Presidents room lately
and inquired for a map of the Uni
ted States, which he for some
time thoughtfully scrutinized. At
last the President asked. him what
he was looking for. II was seeing
if my State was in the Union. !

PALATKA FLA, MARCH 81, 1885.
It was claimed that those who adj

Tt was claimed that those who adj
yocated the nomination of Il. A.
Perry in Putnam misrespresented
the wishes of our people, therefore
the distinctively Perry men were
left off the delegation to Pensacola.
But when the voting was begun,
public opinion had become so potent
that majority of Putuam's votes
were cast for Perry. 1t was the
same with the Dougherty men at the
Palatka convention.
If Putnam wishes she can easily
make the same blunder, but there is
as little room for mistakes in regard
to the constitutional convention as
there was about the action of the
nominating conventions last fall. In
all the state, only two papers, the
Monticello Constitution and the
Pensacolian, wish to inject partisan
politics into the formation of our or
ganic law. In Duval county thu
Times Union proposes Judge Ran
dali for the nomination and repub
lican paper asks that John I. Grave
represent the best elements of dem
ocracy on non-partisan ticket. L
Sumter county even the democrati
executive committee made a non
partisan call, asking all conservative
to unite for the good of the Who'll
people.
We believe our people know wha
they want and that they will kno'
how to get it.

There is plain little red church in
Albany in which the Quakers have wor-
shipped for more than half a century.
Formerly the edifice was filed every
Sabbath by prim, quiet congregation,
who gathered from the surrounding
country. Oflate years the membership
has gradually decayed, until now there
is no pastor, but at IL o'clock on Sun
days the door is unlocked and seven or
eight persons enter and take seats. No
word is spoken usually, and after an
hours quiet meditation the Oldest one
present will arise and stretch out his
hand to one sitting nearest him. Hands
are shaken all around and the congrega-
tion departs to repeat the same thing
the next Sunday. If the spirit moves
anyone to pray or speak he does so.
Four times a year general meeting is
held, and then twenty or twenty-five
persons gather, and once or twice year
preacher attends.

THE PRESS AND THE CONVEN-
TION


Industrial Record: It should be
the purpose of the people, whom the
constitutional convention is to rep
resent, to come together in mass
meeting in each county and then
and there, having no reference to
party or party lines, select from
among their number a full quota of
candidates to be voted for as dele
gates. Let ability, experience and
conscientious conservatism alone be
the proper qualifications-not party
allegiance or Wanting, selfish, per-
sonal ambition. 1t has been assert
ed, and truthfully, that to select
candidates within party lines, to be
voted fol upon party platforms, is
equivalent to defeating the conven-
tion and the will of the people by
whose mandate it will assemble. 1t
was the desire of the best clements
of both political parties in the state
that convention should be called,
and to make it a party policy would
be to peryert the facts.
Live Oak Bulletin: We are of
the opinion, however, that it will be
impossible to keep partisan politics
entirely out of the convention.
While it is, and should be, the de-
sire of all patriotic citizens to have
a nonpartisan constitution, one by
the people and for the people, re-
CARELESS of partisan politics it will
be impossible to get out candidates
for delegates whose intellectual
standing is of an order to qualify
them for such a responsible position
who are not tainted to some extent
with party views and party teach
ings. And while we desire, and
think it would be wise, to select del
egates whose views are conservative
and liberal, yet we could not, MOI
would not, depreciate the available
ty of good, hearty, strong demo
crat. When we say democrat W,
mean democrat; one who believes il
the fundamental principles of tn,
democratic party-a government o
the people, for the people and by tn,
people. No partisan, however stub
born, with these views can, nor will
injure the State of Florida by bein.
made delegate to the constitution
al convention. In fact, these are tn
kind of men the people want there
if we understand things rightly.

ance attached to its constructio,

ious experiences and it is due these
interests that all, from the most
humble to the most exalted should
unite and with an eye single to the
good of our rapidly developing
country do nothing that would
cause a political strife for the PAGES
to be filled. This sentiment is also
entertained by majority OF the
best and most conservative of our

best men, irrespective of party, are

consequences will follow from the
/ fact that the instrument will again
undergo fight on the day set apart
