Blaine in his Florence letter said
positively that he would not be candi-
date. His friends say he will be- They

his word is worth Tampa Tribune.
Frances Cleveland Edwards, the first
girl baby born at Thermalito, Cal, is now
ten days old. The town authorities have
presented her with a corner lot-a most
appropriate gift-as she is at present
corner herself.-N y. World.
The Democratic press and people of
Florida are unanimous for Cleveland and

We desire to call especial attention
to the proclamation Of the Governor re-
ducing the State tax to three mills. If
this is not good showing for the Demo
cratic party and testimony to its econ
omy and wisdom, we don't know what

The white people of the South pay
cheerfully about ninetenths of the school
tax-to the end that illiteracy may be
dispelled from the mind of the negro

The Democratic State Executive
Committee has chosen Captain w. d.
Chipley, of Pensacola, temporary chair
man, and he is charged with the organ
ization of the committee for the prosecu
ton Of the coming campaign. No more
thorough organizer or jealous worker
can be found in the State, and this i'm
portant task will be properly discharged
by him.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
"The Democratic party is for that pro-
lection which gives the people cheap
clothes, cheap shoes, cheap hats, cheap
blankets and the necessaries of life cheap.
That kind of protection is guaranteed by
the Mills bill. The Republican party
stands for the old war tariff, for contin-
ual grinding down of the masses for the
benefit of the rich monopolists of the
country
=" Wouldn't it be good idea for Mr..
Halstead and Mr.. Reid-the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette and the New York
7rt6une-to be appointed a committee to
fix upon the number of votes that each
State in the South may give in the Presi-
Dental election? The number has been
too small heretofore. In Louisiana the
other day it was too large. Come, gentle
men, tell us how many votes Virginia
must cast.-Richmond Dispatch
lis there any country on earth that can
boast of climate to match ours in the
month of May ?-Gu!f Vie,o If Middle
Florida is included in the above we un-
hesitatingly say nay. just warm enough
to be free from colds, with grateful
breezes waiting the young leaves to and
fro in graceful swing the live long day
while sweet feathered songsters regale
the ear at all hours with their carols of
JOY, and old mother earth blushing as a
sixteen year old maiden, is ever carpeted
with the brightest and gayest of flowers.
Such is Florida" our" country.-Madi-
son Recorder.
