The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1885-05-13

Evidences of thrift and improve
ment are not confined to the city of
Palatka, but are seen everywhere in
Putnam. In every neighborhood
neat fences, comfortable houses and
thrifty groves are replacing the care
less homes of the old farmers and
the primeval forests of the past.
If substantial development was con-
fined to the towns it would be an
unhealthy growth; but throughout
the county the tide of immigration
is filling the waste places with the
bone and sinew of a dozen different
states. Under the orange trees of
our genial cline the federal and con
federate soldier exchange confden-
ces, and the German and French
man, Englishman and Russian dis
cuss the probable effects of Euro
pean movements. And the work of
each aids to build up prosperous
communities in every direction.

OIR MAYOR.

Towards Mayor Donnelly we have
already said we bear no malice for
his successful opposition to better
man. Since his accession to power
we have found cause Of commenda-
ton and have earnestly spoken our
sentiments. No official was ever af-
forded a better opportunity for ma
king an honorable record. AS little
was expected, much would have been
given for firm support of the dig
nifty of his Office and a consistent adj
herence to the right
But as we have commended open
ly the virtues of an opponent, it be-
comes equally our unpleasant duty
to denounce his first desertion of the
plain line of his duty. When an ex-
ecutive officer appeals to his subor-
dinates that he might defeat the
ends of Justice; when the mayor of
Palatka asks the marshal to with
draw charges before the trial of a
/ prisoner-when the mayor of Palat-
ka appoints a notorious law-breaker
to keep the peace among men who
have never stood prisoners before
the bar Of iustice-then the mayor
of Palatka is so clearly recreant %
his duty that the loud complaints on
the streets of our city should be
voiced by the public press and full
condemnation invited.
That the official should be tender
with the element which elected him
we feared, but his acts have been 50
worthy of praise heretofore, and his
words SO fair, that we cherished
hopes which his late action has bias.
ted. To bestow the policeman's

Mr.. Bisbee, our candidates are not
men who neglect sworn duties to
propitiate the criminal element.
There is however still margin, and
upon this the charge of foul dealing
must stand or fall.
When the mongrel ticket was put
in the field, John E. Marshall, late
county commissioner, stated that
the thing Howed it's existence to
himself, one other, and three demo-
Gratis of Palatka more influential
than either" Now just here is the
kernel Of the nut narrowed to its
smallest circumference. For the
tools in the matter we have no care;
but the democrats of Palatka owe it
to themselves that the matter be
thoroughly sifted Mr. Marshall is
welcome to the use of our columns
to substantiate his charge, and a
failure to do so will entitle him to
the full benefit Of the large contempt
his neighbors already feel for his
double dealing,
We have watched the campaign
caref ally and closely and we find no
ground for justification of the char
ges now being made by our metro
politan dailies to the injury of om
fair fame in the state, except as John
Marshall can defend his words. Fol
ourselves we have no excuse to of
fer-no apology to make. If the
democrats of whom Mr.. Marshall
speaks have rhyme or reason fol
their conduct, they are urged to use
the columns of THE News that the
public may appreciate their motives
If these are based upon such ground,
as some which have reached us
the defeated candidate is prouder oil
their opposition than he could have
been made by his election. If they
have good cause for their conduc
the public should know them, tina
the odious charges of "bushwhack
ing" now current in the state may
be removed from the democrats O
Palatka who are proud of their pas
record and mean to do still bette
in the future
The editor of the Florida Herald
can see no good cause for the action
of the "three influential democrat
of Palatka" vaguely called to tn
bar of public opinion by Mr.. Mar
shall.s speech. If these wish to pub
Iish their reasons, our columns ar
as open to them as to the reveren,
Woodwork and the reverend Hin
who may wish to substantiate wha
they have already stated Repre-
sentative republicans have nothin.
to do with either of these parties.

EAIR PLAY.

at is a matter of regret all over
the state that political trading has
defeated the election Of Judge Ben
jamin Harrison of Putnam, as a del
egate to this body. In the broad
state there has been no more active,
able and indefatigable champion and
explainer of the convention than he,
and it is a matter of no little regret
that his profound study and earnest
patriotism should have been lost to
the important council
So says the Florida Daily Herald,
which always appeals directly to the
confidence and sympathy of demo
Gratis throughout the state. When
John T. Graves, late presidential ell
ector and always editor of our met
ropolitan exponent, sees fit to dis
trust the fair dealing of Putnam's
democracy, it cuts deep For his
kindly expression and friendly feel
ing for the defeated candidate we
thank him because he speaks always
from his heart and by authority of
tried fidelity and good service faith.
fully rendered. But we protest
against insinuations upon a mass
which can only be deserved by 9
few. As we have already explain
ed, the "trading' can be confined tc
two precincts in this county, Como
and Palatka. At Como a democrat
who was till lately an ofice-holder
who was sent by his constituency t.
the county convention 'as Harri
son man." who urged his nomination
and pledged every best effort to Sc
cure his election, assisted in thu
composition of a mongrel ticket, de
ceived his constituents, falsifed hi
professions and deserted his owl
nominee to elect a republican faith
er-in-law His name is John E. Mar
shall, late county commissioner
At Palatka the record shows tina
some twenty-eight democrats voteC
for Mr. Fowler Some of this de
lection can be traced directly to par
ties who felt the just weight of tn,
law when administered by the de
feated candidate as county judge
These may be left out of the calcu
lation also, because men who oppose
a candidate for doing his duty sim
ply stultify themselves, and in no
wise injure the man or party they
oppose. 1t is our boast that, unlik,
