A brief dispatch from Brooksville in
forms US that on the eleventh ballot the
Convention nominated Hon. r. II. NJ
Davidson for reelection to Congress
from the First District of Florida, and
then adjourned. The confidence implied
by this nomination for a sixth term should
be fully sustained by the democratic
people. He is an able and upright man
and let US send him back by rousing
majority. Let us not be supine in the
confidence that "of course he will be
elected" but relax no effort in bringing
out the full democratic vote of the Dis
trict. In dischargiDg this duty we keep
the party in line and discipline, and pre-
pared for future victories

Some people estimate the ability of periodi-
cal or talent of lie editor by the quantity of its
original matter. 1t is comparatively an easy task
for frothy writer TO string out a column of
words upon any and all subjects His ideas may
flow in one weak, washy, everlasting food, and
the command of his language may enable him
TO string them together like lunches of onions,
and yet bis paper may be but meagre and poor
concern Indeed the mere writing part of edit
ing paper is but small portion of the work.
The care, the time employed in selecting is more
important and the fact of q good editor is better
shown by his selections than anything else, and
that, we know, is half the battle. But we have
said an editor ought to be estimated, his labor
understood and appreciated, by the general con.
duct OF his paper-its tone, Its uniform, consistent
course, aims, manlinsss, dignity and its propri-
ety.-L0uispiNe Courier-JournaI

WASHINGTON, July 17.-News was received
In Washington a few days ago OF the death OF
Senior Del Campo who recently figured so con-
spicuously here as the Secretary Of the CHILEAN
Legation and was for q long time sole represent
alive Of his country. after the departure of the
Minister, Senior Godoy Senior Del Campos
death was caused by fever at Panama, where he
had stopped on his way home. There was a
peculiarly sad romance in the life Of this young
man, the knowledge of which. now given for the
first time will serve to temper the adverse criti'
cism 50 generally bestowed upon him during tho
latter part of his stay here.
Previous to his appointment in the diplomatic
corps Senior Del Campo was desperately In love
with beautiful Gillian girl, whose parents
however, refused their consent to the marriage on
account of the poverty of the sutton This being
the sole objection the young man determined to
come TO the United States, win name for him
self. and then return to claim his bride The ap-
pointment as Secretary to the Gillian Legation
was at once secured through influential friends,
and receiving from his lady love in parting the
earnest assurance OF her faithfulness and apprO-
val of his plans, Del Campo came to Washing
ton, where he at once became q favorite for his
gentlemanly, quiet manners With the senior
members of the corps Del Campo was held in
high esteem as an upright painstaking, and in
dustrious young diplomat. And well did the
young man deserve the honor, for he led at this
time an exemplary life, practicing the utmost
frugality in order to save in every way toward
amassing the sum which, in the eye OF his pros
pective her-n-law was necessary before the
subject of marriage with his daughter could be
discussed.
Things went on thus for WHILE when sud
denly one day came the intelligence that all his
labor had been for naught that, in obedience to
the will of her parents the fair young Gillian
had been false to her VOWS Of cOnstancy and
was married to a man of great wealth. For q
time Senior Del Campo was fairly stunned by
the news, and refused to credit its truth. Then
all ambition, all hope for the future, and every
thing which could render life desirable appears
to have departed from him, and he plunged into
the widest excuses One discreditable episode
followed another in quick succession, until the
young diplomat, who had formerly borne such a
stainless reputation, was abandoned by all his
associates, and, his conduct coming to the knowl-
edge of the Chian Government he was recalled
from Washington in disgrace. So great was his
repugnance to returning to his country that on
the way he stopped for time at Panama, where
he contracted the fever, which proved fatal.
In the light of this sad romance, which absO-
utey broke his heart and rendered him a reck-
less man, Senior Del Campos friends will lose
sight of those escapades which threw such a
cloud upon the latter part of his stay in Wash
ington. They will remember him only as the
light hearted young fellow, happy in his thought
| that by honest endeavor he would overcome fate
| and win the woman he loved

Our standard bearer for the State

be known to the many new settlers who
have come into the county since the last

of having, for number of years, served

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The following is the
portion of Mr.. Tildens letter to Senator Hawley,
dated June 8, 1885, read by the latter as part Of
his speech to-day:
"The apathy Of Congress on this subject would
be incredible If it did notcontentit. 1tcontrasts
with the rivalry which lie 90 conspicuous to insist
on our taking high tone toward foreign nations
on every occasion Of difference between them
and US, and also with the favor which Is shown
TO schemes of prodigality, and schemes to waste
the public resources on things known to be alb
solutely useless. Among the people the desire
for liberal appropriation toward the means OF
public defence IL we'll nigh unanimous I am
we'll informed as to the popular feeling from the
circumstances that more than 100 newspapers
from all parts of the country, and representing
all political parties, containing expressions upon
the subject, have been sent to me-
Very truly yours, g. J. TnDEN"

True Ring.

The Orlando Sentinel was very Outspoken in
its opposition to Mr.. Dougherty's denomination,
but since Orange county has declared for him, it
wheels into line and frankly avows its purpose,
like a true democrat, to give him its unqualified
support, if he is renomnated at Ocala The
Sentinel concludes its leading editorial ON the
subject as follows:
The Sentinel in all its opposition, has at no
time said anything untrue or derogatory to the
public record of Mr.. Dougherty, and in case he
should be nominated at Ocala, we will have no
words TO retract or steps to retrace. If the DEM
ocratc party al Ocala in their wisdom see fit to
nominate Charlie Dougherty, the Sentinel will
checrfully give him warm earnest, whole
hearted, democratic support.
