Department" reads as follows:


We fancy that the election returns from
Massachusetts, says the Boston Herald,
will present themselves to the magnetic
leader Of the Republican party with
much the same portentous meaning that
was borne to the Babylonian King by
the mystic writing upon the walls of his
palace. The Republican party is under
going, in the state of it's birth, the not
always agreeable experience of being
weighed in the balance If it is found SO
nearly wanting in 1886, is there not reason
for thinking that the scale may bump
the beam in 1888?

The sweeping victory of the Democracy
of Florida is source of profound gratifi-
cation. 1t establishes the fact that Flor
ida, instead of being doubtful Stale, is
fixedly anchored in the Democratic ranks.
Not only this, but it is fortunate that
victory, giving us over two-thirds ma
jority in both branches of the Legislature,
should have come at this important Pc
Rod.
The Legislature, which. meets in April
next, will be the first under the new Con-
stitution. The prosperity of the future
rests largely upon its action. Fortunately
it is composed Of most excellent material.
The Senators who hold over, and those re-
Gently elected, both to the Senate and the
House, will constitute law making body
that has not been surpassed since the war;
Thus the new Constitution will be put
into operation by men of sterling worth,
who represent the stability, intelligence
and true manhood of the State. Under
such circumstances we can but look hope
fully to the future By careful consid-
Grafton of the various provisions of the
new Constitution, and the enactment of
laws that will be for the best interests of
all, Florida's progress will not be retarded,
but continued and invigorated.
Again, we congratulate the Democracy
upon their great victory. 1t would be
invidious in us to give laudations to par
ticular individuals, for, where all did so
Well, who shall be considered the leaders
but the people who did the voting?
