dress of the Executive Committee to the
voters of the First Congressional District.
The Sanford Journal is now issued
daily at $500 per annum. 1t is a hand
some twenty-four column paper, and we
need not say that it is ably conducted for

If our people had never seen or heard
Mr.. Pendleton it is possible he would have
gotten some votes in this county. AS it
is "curly headed Bobby" will pulverize
him. Santa Rosa Neaos.
Gen. John B. Gordon was elected
Governor of Georgia on the 9Th instant.
There was no opposing candidate in the
field. When will Florida be as thorough
ly democratic as her big neighbor?
Eight closely printed columns, emu
merating new southern industrial enter
prises, not before reported, to be found
in the Baltimore Manufacturers Record
of last week, do not tally with Honorable
John Sherman's arguments against the
prosperity of Democratic rule.
The British Association proposes to
abandon the idea of beating the American
furthest north " record, and recon-
mends an expedition toward the South
Pole. No ship has ever wintered within
the Antarctic circle, and it is expected
that knowledge of the phenomena of the
Southern ocean can be greatly widened
by such an expedition.
Hon. S. S. Cox, Minister to Turkey,
arrived in New York on the 10th. Official
business of his mission justiies his visit to
his country, but he states that he is a
candidate for Congress, and we hope that
he may get there and some less valuable
Democrat be exported to his place with
the unspeakable Turk.
The Columbus Enquirer Su, for last
Sunday is a veritable trade edition. Its
twenty-eight very handsomely printed
pages are filed with well prepared ar
tlcles on the commerce and industries of
that thriving city and section. AS
specimen of journalistic work it has not
been surpassed by any issue of the South
ern press.
H. c. Crawford, Esq, of Crawford
vile, was nominated last Saturday by a
Democratic Mass Meeting to represent
Wakulla county in the Assembly. This
is an excellent nomination, as Mr.. Craw-
ford is admirably qualified for the posi-
ton he will fill. He is a son of Hon.
John L. Crawford, Secretary of State.
There was good attendance at the
Democratic meeting on Friday last. Mr..
Dougherty made very sensible speech,
which was received with general favor.
lie was followed by Col. J. M. Martin,
1t. Gov. Mabry and Judge Ashby. The
remarks were all of high character and
showed deep and comprehensive grasp
of public questions by the numerous
speakers--MicdnOpy Gazette.
The New Constitution is essential to
the progress of the State. The present
one blocks the wheels ofprogress in many
ways, and will be an obstacle as long as
it exists. The new one may not be all
that we could desire, but it is a step in the
right direction. Once it is adopted it
will be easy to amend it to meet the re-
quirements of progressive Florida. Should
il be defeated check to our development
would he certain Orlando Reporter.
-Pendleton is running as an anti-rail-
road candidate, and the Democratic news
papers in the West are INVITING him with
travelling over the p. & A. road on P ass
No. 23s. Pendleton explains that he
holds the pass by reason of his position
as editor; but as he has abandoned his
post ae editor and is a candidate for Con-
gress on an anti-railroad platform, the ex-
cuse would seem to be somewhat lame.-

The Democrats had it all their own
way in Georgia Wednesday. There was
no opposition whatever to General Cor
don for Governor, and there was but one
Republican elected to the Senate and
four to the House. Probably some pa
triots up North will manufacture bloody
shirt out of the figures, but it will have
to be of disphanous material, as cleo
ton day was as quiet all over the State
as Quaker meeting.-Boston Herald.
-Pendleton once said the Cubans
were "dirty beggars and assassins," yet
he now boasts of their support and en-
dorsement-" BY the way, we recently
saw q private letter, from a gentleman of
high standing in Key West, stating
that the Knights of Labor there were COM
posed largely of Cuban cigar makers who
were not citizens of the United States,
and consequently non-voters. Pensacola
