To the Editor Of the Times Union
We are all at loss TO find reason Why no
candidates are proposed for the several Cabinet
of1ces that are 10 be filed by the next elecii n
No doubt the present incnmbents, if they de-
sire reeleei IN, will be retained but il 10 certain
that some OF them will not consent TO become
Candidates, and Il is more than probable, In
other cases, the present holders will be before
the people for other places
The only way 10 prevent confusion in the
convention. and the nomination Of candidates
who will not give satisfaction to the party, 10
70 bring TO the attention OF the people the
names Of gentlemen who will be likely TO re-
ceive the nomination for these Offices

whose past services TO his party, his great popu-
larity and known ability will insure his selection
He il now one Of the most Influential and useful
members OF the State Executive Committee.
His name Is Charles c. Pearce The most impor-
tant Office Of this county (Tax Collector) was
mirable ability. In the discharge Of its duties
he displayed that knowledge Of accounting and
general capacity for business which would ft him
for any o63ce where quickness, good Judgment
and education were essentials. For two success
sive terms Mr.. Pearce WAS Mayor Of Tallahassee.
Io this honorable position be developed an exec
uiive ability which. 10 connection with his other
requirements, enabled him to administer the Law
with ability and success, and leave the city upon
bis retirement In an improved and healthy nnsn-
cial condition.
Leon county will bring Mr. Pearce forward %
her candidate for Cabinet poaition. She d en-.
titled 70 place 10 the Cabinet. and her candi-
date 10 Q worthy enc. .
IL Is understood that DR.. Mitchell will not be

better man TO hll his vacancy will NOT be brought

The Pear Industry.

1n Few years the production OF LeCOnte
