From Key West Democrat Oct. & ises1
In discussing the candidacy Of Mr.. Pendleton
for Congress in opposition to the regular nomina-
took prominent part, We propose 70 use his own
words when he was editor and proprietor Of The
Key West Democrat, viz:
Bob Davidson Is undoubtedly the stronges.
man in the District. Give him q rally boya-
Pendlet0n, June "a, 1889.
Do you want negroes filing all OF the State
Offices; your county turned over to the incompe-
tent vicious and ignorant ?-June "a, 1889.
II any man has been q candidate of the party,
if he was our friend or not, we have worked for
him; and this same thing we intend to keep on
doing.-Sept. 10, 1889.
Mark us WELL Some of that handful who are
thinking of following an independent element
and voting for an independent candidate will
find themselves the worst sold men south of Ma
son and Dixons line. Pause before you make
such misstep.-Oct z. 1882.
What we write now we would repeat to NOR
row were the occasion to arise-Oct z, 1889.
We want to warn our people against taking
any stock in the independent movement in this
state, which originated in order to capture this
district for the Republican party.-Oct. 2, 1889.
We can respect Republican when we know
he is one from principle, but an independent we
detest-Oct z, 1882
Democrats to the front. Boilers will please
take back seat.-Oct 2, 1882.
How can they, being Democratic. support 9
man nominated by the dirtiest aud most con-
temptible set of Republicans that have ever dis
graced State or shed dlshonor on town.-Oct.
81, 1882.
From the straight-out Radicals we know what
to expect, we are used to their weapons but
against the insduous traitors and arch schemers
we have foe whose actions are dark, whose
plans are deep laid and cunning. Now, will life
long Democrats, true old BOurbons, Ohs name
is one to be proud of, think of this man? Will
they vote for him and support him against
Davidson ? We say not We know it.-Oct. IA,
1882
When boat from Nassau comes into this
port dark cloud gathers and covers the
wharves and principal streets. Timbucioo would
hide its head in shame after seeing the degrees of
Ethiopian blackness. 6, 1881.
The Democratic party, if they wish TO retain
their supremacy, do not want the negro vote.
They don't even want to invite IT, Away with
it.-SepL 10, 1881.
Every county in Davidson's District has felt
the effects of increased routes, etc. and the peo-
pie are not slow to appreciate ii. Is it wonder,
then, that the people of the First District love
the man that has so materially advanced the
prosperity OF that section. Davidson will never
be forgotten by our people.-Sept 80, 1880.
Dishonesty, venality and fraud have marked
the Radical party on this isand.-Oct. 13, 1880.
Their only strength always laid in the igno-
rance and blind devotion of their negro follow
ers.-Oct. 10, 1880.
man who votes with the Republicans
is lost to reason and self respect.-Oct. 49,
$780,
Any man who in order 10 serve low, petty
spite, not only refuses TO vote, but interests him
self to defeat the regular nominees OF the party,
is not a Democrat. 1t is not men you are voting
for, but principles-Oct q, 1880.
summary of the crimes committed by par
ties under the guise of the Republican party
would be the blacklist page in the history of this
country.-Oct. 81, $780,
We say Davidson should be Nominated for
Congress- He is the man most likely 10 aid Us
most; his acquaintance and the time he has
served in Congress, serves him well ; besides,
Davidson has done much for South Florida.
You cannot find one man in his district
who can truly say but what he has labored truly
and earnestly to advance the interests of Florida
1t mattered not how trivial the request, Mr.. Da-
wilson has always paid full attention.
But how few men have done their duty 80
well.-May -, 1882.
