N District or Florida.
The day Of the election IL rapidly approach
ing. few more Days and the political parties
OF the First District will .cross swords Are you
thoroughly organized in each Election Precinct :;
every man registered, at his post and prepared
for the coDtests Have each OF you talked over
the situation with your ueghbor and to the full ex
tent of your ability encouraged the lukewarm and
aroused the apalheiic to q sense of his personal
duty and responsibility as citizen and freeman!
If not. throw off the leihargy that overshadows
you, and enter at once upon the good and patri-
otto work that now demands your earnest at
tention. Remember the many invaluable and
precious interests that hang upon the result OF
the approaching electionl Not simply she ag-
grandizement or elevation of individuals 10 Of

the good order and happiness of the people, and
the wealth and prosperity of our great and grow.
ing State, with ali its many important and in
creasing material as well as moral interests are
in the balance Will you, by your lethargy and
inertness permit these, any or all of them, to be
endangered? You have a willy and wide
awake foe to encounter. He is ever on the alert
ready to take advantage of your supineness and
want of zeal He encounters you under various
DISCUSSES. Routed as Republican, he returns
as an Independent Defeated as such, he again
rises to the surface as a reformed Democrat.
Heaven save the mark Come in what guisc
he may, beware of his kiss, "for at last il bteth
like serpent and stingeth like an adder" The
enemy has all to gain and nothing to lose. With

iondest hopes and future prospects. Let US all,
whatever our avocations or professions, away
with personal preferences and personal griev-
ances rally to the standard of Democracy and
bear it aloft to glorious and triumphant VIC
tory. Let there be no of-year, no falling off of
the vote. All elections are important from con-
stable up, because they are all essential to free
government and good order. Every Demo-
Graf is bound by the closest ties OF honor
and good citizenship to be at the polls on cleo
ton day, and give his vote and influence for the
maintenance OF good government. Not only
this. but he should call upon and urge his indf
ferent neighbor, who is enjoying the benefit of
good government 10 60 with him and aid in
maintaining the supremacy of the only organi-
zation that stands between the people and polit-
ical perdition. Defeat and destroy this glorious
old party, that has lived through 80 many years
of adversely, the recent triumph of which has so
greatly promoted the growth and importance of
our State and people, and at once we are swept
back, az with the bosom of destruction into the
gulf of blackness and darkness from which we
emerged in 1876.
Democrats, men of the First District, save us
from such dire calamity by the diligent and
active performance of duty. Be not over con.
fident, nor rely on the weakness OF your adver-
sary, but do your duty, your whole duty, and on
the evening of the I'd of November next, victory,
glorious and triumphant, will again fold her
wings on your grand old banner and you will
have the satisfaction of knowing that the integ-
rity of your State has been preserved and the
prosperity and happiness OF the people secured
