DeSOtO COunty's Saving.

The last valuation of property in that
county was 81 ,9s3,o4o. At the present rate
for State taxation the people of DeSoto
would pay on that valuation 81, 932.l6. If
the Radicals were in power, with their
State tax levy of l21 mills on the dollar,
the tax payers of DeSoto would pay
State taxes to the amount of 1924, 1913. O6.
But the State of Florida is blessed with
an honest and economical Democratic ad-
ministration, and the property owners of
DeSoto county thus save $l6,86O.s4
State taxes for one year. In three
years they would save in State
taxes $5O,58252 They do not want
any more Republican extravaganza, and
won't have it.

We are told that Mr.. Miles II. Jof

We are told that Mr.. Miles H. John
son thinks that the FLoRIDIAN is making
the entire fight in this campaign at him.
Mr. johnson is in error; the FLoR1D1AN
is not fighting the man, but the entire
Mongrel Ticket, as it stands. We are
fighting the principle upon which it is
based-if there be any principle in it.
We are laboring, as all lovers of good,
honest government should, to crush under
foot that corrupt rabble which constitutes
the Republican party of Florida, and the
direful results to follow the return to
power of those who robbed and oppressed
us in the dark days of reconstruction and
Radical misrule, and, in firing broadsides
at the enemy, it is not our fault if some of
the shot should hit alleged friends, who
recklessly stand in the front of the ene-
my's line of battle, even if it is, as they
say, for the purpose of helping us to car
ry the battle.

A correspondent writing from Iowa says
Yesterday heard joint discussion between
the rival candidates for Congress The Radical
spoke first, and the way he lied about the
South and the negro was enough to arouse
the anger of an angel, if such thing were
possible and the way he fought the war over
was enough to make the old soldiers feel that
they had not been in the army

was present at the capture of Jefferson Davis,

Democrats of Leon, what are you do
ing in the way of organizing the county
TO carry it in November? There is work
to be done, and good deal of it, and now
is the time to get at it in solid earnest.
This county is close and cannot be car
ried without work, but, if the enemy
should defeat us it will be our own fault
A long pull, strong pull and a pull all
together will give us victory-then pull,
pull hard, and make the victory sure
The election of Captain P. Houstoun, of
Captain B. F. Walker, of Dr. E. Christie,
and of the entire county ticket is highly
important. Let us get every man to the
polls, and elect them. From now until
the election every Democratic voter, and
every lover Of good government should
work with single purpose, that of carry
ing Leon county by big, old-fashioned
Democratic majority. 1t can be done
1t MUST be done!
This is no time for luke-warm, tame
canvass. The issues in this campaign are
such that every true man, every honest
man, every lover of good government, be
his politics what they may, should buckle
on his armor and go into the fight with
spirit and vim-make it an aggressive
battle-let the watchword be victory !
and rest not moment until the battle is
won.
Citizens of Leon county, have you for
gotten the days of corrupt Republican
misrule, oppression and fraud Can you
stand tamely by and see these vultures
brought back into power? We say, no !!
You will not You will rise up as a
mighty giant, and we will vote them and
the new addition to their forces entirely
and forever int political oblivion.

If the "solid South" should ever be
split, says the Savannah Neaos, the coun-
try would witness a state of affairs in this
section that would cause honest Ameri-
cans to hang their heads in shame. A di-
vided South means for generations, if not
forever, mongrel government made up
of the worst element of both races, bank
rupt State and beggard people. What
was experienced twenty years ago would
seem a pleasant remembrance compared
with what would be experienced if the

On the present valuation of property
the taxpayers of Citrus county would
be assessed for State taxes this year, un-
der Democratic rule, $4,000. Were
the Republicans in power, with their
rate of l23 mills, the people of Citrus
would this year be compelled to pay
the sum of $1O,934.4O State
taxes. The difference in favor of
honest Democratic government is ST. :
435.4O, and this amount the people
of Citrus county save, in a sim
gle year, by being rid of extravagant and
dishonest Radical administration Of af-
fairs. For the three years their saving in
State taxes would be $22,3O6.2O
The people of Citrus county will think of
this when they go to vote, and vote right.

What Manatee County has Gained
Under Democratic Rule.

For tie past three years Manatee county
has paid State taxes as follows: For
1885, $8,247.O4 for 1886, $lO,5544s; for
1887, $5,096.39 ;--making a total of $23,-
997.9l for three years under honest Dem
ocratic government.
For the last three years of Republican
rule the rate of taxation for State pur-
poses was l24 mills for each year. When
we apply this rate to the valuation Of
property in Manatee county for the past
three years, we find that under Radical
rule, for this period, at til ~ r.tse OF taxa
ton, the people of Manatee county would
have paid the sum of $78,66O.11
in State taxes, making the difference
in favor of honest government, eco
nomically administered by Democrats,
$54,762.2O
This is one reason why Manatee county
is Democratic, and will continue to be
Democratic. White and colored citizens
are equally interested in the question of
taxation, and, of course, prefer low taxes
under honest Democratic rule to exorbi.
