A "Tiss ne Ballot"

An amusing incident-not so consd-
cred by the Republican members, how
ever-occurred in the Convention this
morning. Chandler, in opposing all
amendment to the Article on Suffrage
and Eligibility which did not accord
with his ideas, was INDUCING in some of
the indiscrminate, unfounded and insult
ing charges of fraud against the Demo
cracy which his party have lately put
forward on every possible occasion, and
alleged the use Of tissue ballots by the
Democrats. Mr. Mcclellan asked To be
shown a tissue ballot, saying he had never
seen one. President Pasco sent him a
sample of the only lot he had ever come
across, and the reading of it was de-
manded. Had bomb fallen into the
camp Of the Republicans it could not
have caused more utter conste rDation
than the reading of the full Republican
ticket of Leon county at the general cleo
ton of 1876, including the Hayes Prcsi
Dental Electors!
The minority dropped the tissue ballot
question like hot potato, and the cry OIL
fraud from that quarter was etfectnally
silenced.
The bit of paper in possession of the
President is quite a historic morsel. 1t
was one Of 73 taken out of the ballot box
at Richardson's School House in Leon
county, and which helped to foist the
Fraud of 1876 upon this country as
the President. Capt. Pasco was one of a
committee sent to investigate the matter
and he saved and carefully preserved the
ballot which was proved to-day so effect
i've stopper. 1t is a curious looking
object, the paper on which the ticket is
is printed being only 1ixl4 inches, and
rather stiff; not tissue, in the general un-
Outstanding of the word. 1t is believed
that the Convention has heard the last OF
the "tissue ballot" matter-from the Re.
publicans, at any rate.

Tallahassee has vast railroad system
to build her up and sustain her prosperi-
ty. The roads are thoroughly construct
ed and equipped, and did not cost her or
her people dollar. They extend north
ward. northeastward and northwestward
through a country inhabited by millions
of people, who are consumers, producers
and travelers-who produce what we use,
use what we produce, and like to visit
the southernmost State and enjoy. its
genial climate. Certainly our Southern
capital, for which nature and man have
done so much, should grow to be noble
city by reason Of her extraordinary rail
road facilities are 80 near and
yet so far" They are hers, yet she has
them not; they are at hand, but she does
not reach to grasp them. The length of
arm needed is only about thirty-fve miles,
and with that bit of road she could lay
her hand on the Georgia system and
command its benefit and those of many
lUOuHduuS vi IIlllcS vi OtucI why
thirty.fve miles 1t is not possible that
our county and city shall long remain
practically insulated for the want of a
little piece Of road which will open con-
nectiOn with the outside world-whlch
will assure a tide of travel, demand for
lands, demand for produce, cheap freights,
fast mails, and all the advantages which
we now lack and other sections possess,
and by such possession outstrip us in
progress, though naturally inferior. Only
little piece Of road is needed, but that
is the link to attach the chain, without it.
no connection. The Pensacola and At
lantic railroad, nearly five times as long
as the piece of road we need, was built in
about a year In about year, at furthest
trains from the Georgia roads should run
into Tallahassee.
