Hon. David Levy Yulee died suddenly
at the Clarendon Hotel in New York
last Sunday. The remains of the ex.
Senator were carried to Washington,
where the funeral took place Tuesday.
The pall-bearers were: Honorary-Gen.
eral Joseph E. Johnston, Judge Strong,
Admiral Rogers, Prof. Yelling, Hon.
William Preston, Of New York, and Rep
resentative Brown. Active-W oodbury
Blair, G. Wicklife Preston, G. E. Ham
ilton and Preston Sands.
Mr.. Yulee was a native of the West
Indies, but for some sixty years he was a
citizen Of this State, and no man has
been more prominently identified with
the history of Florids-politically as we'll
as in the advancement Of railroad enter
prise and various important measures of
progress and development He was .
man of large ability and large usefulness.
With this brief mention, we await the com.
plete biographical sketch Of his long and
busy life which will doubtless soon be
given TO the press.

Mr.. DavIdsOn's Canvass.

We recall no instance that parallels the
case of Mr.. Davidson, In which such
multitude of accusations against public
man were made and were so easily refu-
ted--utterly disproved and overturned
by documentary evidence. Conscience
less writer's asserted that he had accom-
plshed nothing for his district, and the
lies travelled with proverbial rapidity,
but the truth following with proverbial
slowness, yet certainty, has already over
taken and destroyed them. There can
now be few who will not acknowledge
that he has been a most efficient Con-
gresham, save those who are interested
in asserting the contrary, or who went SO
far in their opposition that for the sake
of maintaining a bad consistency they ad-
here to the wrong position they had taken
when they blindly accepted the misrep-
RESERVATIONS.
The indisputable evidence of MIR. Da-
Wilson's work is found in the official re-
cords of Congress, and how wrongheaded
must be the man who prefers to such
proof the bare assertions Of ignorant or
malicious scribblers ? The records show
that the aggregate of appropriations OBJ
tanned for his district amounted to over a
million and a half dollars; they show
that he was constantly watchful and at
work in the interests of his constitu-
ents; that he chad been instrumental
in securing more appropriations for
this District than had been Sc
cured for any other District OF
like commerce and population in the Uni
ted States, while for rivers and harbors he
had got double the number of appropria-
tions secured by any other member of
Congress-"
The progress of Mr.. Davidson's canvass
is most gratifying, and while his election
by large majority will be repetition of
the signal rebuke administered to "inde-
pendentism two years ago, it will also
show that the democracy of Florida are
prompt to vindicate the repute Of tried
and worthy representative Of the party.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct 8.-Thcre was an
important conference in this city Wednesday be-
tween a committee representing the Florida
Fruit and Vegetable Growers Protective Asso-
citation, which was recently organized at Ocala,
and tho traffic managers Of the railway lines,
largely handling the fruit and vegetable produc
tons of the State.
The committee from the Fruit and Vegetable
Growers Protective Association consisted of
Judge W. K. Cessna, Alachua county. who is
President of the association, Messrs. G. p Perry
also of Alachua, j. L. Carney, of Marion, W.
A. Burns of Duval. and E j. Bentley, of NJ aron
General Traffic Manager Frank b. Papy, of the
Florida Railway and Navigation Company, Mr.
Teller, of the Florida Southern, and q number
of other railroad men were present on behalf of
the roads.
Both sides of this important question we're
ably presented, and the points of difference
thoroughly discussed. The case of the fruit and
vegetable growers, and the points insisted upon,
may be epitomzed as these, presented by Mr.
Carney, of Marion
both fruit and vegetables, to all Northern and
Western cities than those now offered by the
roads that the average rate OF freight charged
by the Florida roads are about forty per &c nl of
the gross receipts, while only furnishing per
cent Of service.
That these very burdensome rates charged by
Florida roads tended to depress and ruin the
two great industries, fruit aud vegetable grow
ing, upon which the chief material interests of
the State depended.
g. That q quicker and safer transit of all
perishable goods to Northern markets should be
had.
8. That a more prompt adjustment of losses
and refunding of charges to shippers by the
roads, resulting TO the shippers by the
mistakes or negligence of the transportation
companies.
Judge Cessna and Mr.. Perry also submitted
arguments upon the question under discussion.
to all Of which the traffic agents carefully
listened.
In reply General Traffic Agent Papy, of the
Florida Railway and Navigation Company, sub
mitted carefully prepared and exhaustive pre-
sentation Of the railroad side of the case. Both
sides had their remarks reduced TO writing and
agreed TO submit the full proceedings TO their
respective corporations for frthur consideration.
It Is believed that mutual good will come out of
this coming together Of the growers and trans
portation men of the State thus early. in order
that all questions OF freight and transportation
may be discussed and finally settled, if possible,
before the orange and vegetable movement sets

no real issue today between the Republican and
Democratic parties" That shows how much
Pendleton thinks of his chances in his alleged
race for Congress. -Ianspo Tribune.
The Pensacola papers say Mr. Pendle-
ton is not much of a speaker, but then he is
honest" This reminds US much OF the chap who
could not play a fiddle, but then you know,
I'm one of the best whistlers that ever puck
cred ip."-ApalaehtcoIG Times.

that he is meeting with abundant encourage

-Pendleton, in his miserable attempt at a
speech the other night said that lin his own
mind he at first doubted the prOprety of accept
ing the nomination, but had done so and in his
own mind he would be elected in this Congrega-
tsonG district" Don't worry, Penny, it is all in
your mind.-Key West Democrat.
There were more Davidson voters to hear
Pendeton than there were PendletOn voters to
hear Davidson. Mr. Pendeton was accorded
fair hearing and decent treatment, but we regret
that some parties either forgot their mannert
or never had any and attempted to interrup
several of the speakers last Saturday night
Pensacola AdoGnce- Gazette.
Mr.. j. C. Greeley, Republican candidate for
Congress in this district has brought suit
against the proprietors of the Times Union for
libel, placing the damages at $25,0OO The
cause of the suit is the publication by the T.U
of burlesque on Greeleys written speech. We
have an idea that if Mr.. G. would read the bur-
lesque instead of his written production it would
give satisfaction and really procure him more
votes. It's the best speech of the two This
libel suit shows weakness on the part of friend
Greeley, and is q sort Of general notice 10 the
public that his canvass has played out !-Palatta

cipaled the colored people from these scheming
carpet-baggers, and we hope every intelligent
colored man in the State will refuse to wear the
yoke again.-Southern Leader, (CoIored)
Mr.. Jas. A. ChaffIn, of Milton, was in

Mr.. Pendleton having disappointed his
friends, has almost dropped out of the race No

given him away, and Mr. Davidson will carry

1t might be inferred from the noise which our
Republican neighbors have been making over
the Hyer defalcation IN this county, and the ef-
forts put forth by them TO turn it to political adj
vantage because Mr.. Hyer is a Democrat, and
ID mOcratic appOintee, that the Republicans pos
sess all the political virtue and that they have new
er been guilty of any kind of croOkedness in their
management of public affairs. The false claims
which these goody-goody people 80 sanctimoni-
ously set up TO purity in their political lives
would be too ridiculous TO notice were it not
that some of our new citizens of good intentions,
who are not acquainted with the history of Re
publican rule in Florida, may be led to believe
that defalcatOn in office is scandal confined 10
the Democrats and that the government would
be administered more honestly by the Republi-
cans
We have had an examination made of the
public records at Tallahassee, and they show that
from 1868 to 1875, the eight years during which
the Republican party held control in this State,
the extravaganza in every department, the reck-
less squandering Of the public funds, and the
peculatiOn in Office, make up q chapter of off
cial malfeasance which the taxpayers of Flori-
da can never forget, and which will rise in judg
ment against the Republican party of Florida
whenever they come before the people for anoth-
er lease of power.
For the present we will only call attention to
what the records show were lost by the defalca-
tons of revenue collectors alone during the Pc
Rod OF Republican rule. Ii appears that during
the administrations of Reed, Hart and Stearns,
the Republican governors in Office from 1858 to
1876, the defalcations of collectors amounted to
the enormous sum of $154 ,221 "a. and this is to-
tai loss, without any hope of recovering dollar.
On the other hand the defalcations by the same
class of officers since the Democrats came into
power in 1877, period of nearly ten years, do
not amount to $4,000, which includes the short
ages of Hyer and Hardeman in this county, all
of which is in process of collection and 1t is be-
lieved that the total loss by Collectors will not
exceed 5000 during these ten years.
1t is certainly in order now for our self-right-
eous Republican friends, whose political piety
has been so much shocked by Mr.. Flyers short
age in his accounts, to raise a lamentation over
the wickedness of State officials, who in eight
years, collected from the hard earnings of the
people one hundred and ifty-four thousand dol
lars and put into their pockets. This large sum
represents the States part only. 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that quite as much of the counties money
went in the same unsearchable way We pro-
pose TO speak of other things equally as scandal
lous connected with Republican government of
Florida, at another time We can substantiate
every thing we say by the record.

In 1876, under Republican mis-rule,
the people of Manatee county, with a
property valuation of o6,el9, paid State
taxes to the amount of $6,245.73. In
1885, under Democratic rule, with a prop
erty valuation of $2,l95, 1886, nearly foe
times what it was in 1876, they paid
$s,247.O4. While the valuation has in
creased nearly five hundred per cent. the
State tax is less than 81 per cent. greater
in the aggregate. But, had the Republi-
can rate for taxation prevailed in 1885,
the people of Manatee would have had to
pay the enormous sum of 6.35o.O2, in
stead of what they did pay, namely,
$s,247.O4, making the actual saving to
the people of Manatee, Notwithstanding
their great increase in wealth, for single
year of Democratic rule, as compared
with Republican mis-rule and extrava-
pance. $lS.lO298.

- The County Convention elected Dem
ocratic Executive Committee but ad-
journed without nominating candidates for
the Legislature. A number of gentle
men whose names were put in nomi-
nation declined to run. The sometime
'agitated question of compromise
ticket" that should not compromise
democratic principles, had led to honest
differences of opinion which aligned
the delegations in opposing ranks, and
as agreement approximating unanim-
ity could not be reached the Convention
adjourned sine die, and it is to be hoped
that with it ended all discordant feeling
that had been engendered-for in union
there is strength" and by united action
only can the Democrats Of Leon hope to
accomplish anything. Though a minority,
they are powerful in controlling affairs
for the best interests of all our people
when acting with that harmony which
has made them noted throughout the
State as a corps of the cold guard"
ever disciplined and reliable for its
full strength, because free of faction and
steady of purpose. If dissension come
among us our force may be lost and our
good name forfeited, and "Old Leon" may
then be classed among those counties
whose factional democracy has made them
the objects of our pity or censure. Let
not this fate befan us-that we be pitied
or censured. We have yet no ticket in
the field, but there are good men who
may be voted for, and let us put the vote
of the party solid for them. No demo
Gratis vote should ever be lost. This pa
per cannot do what the convention of the
party it has served so long and faithfully
did not do-name men to be sup
ported. Party opinion may settle
upon men for the party support and they
should receive it, even if no authoritative
action of the democracy shall yet put them
up as Irregular ticket under an usual
form of nomination. We have an execu-
tive committee and to that the democracy
look for counsel, and for direction to the
extent of its powers.
