recognizing the stern sense of justice and the
sterling integrity which influence Governor
Fleming in his public and private life, the
Times Union respectfully protests against the
marsh criticisms of his order removing Sheriff
turner, OF Volusia county. II the Sheriff had
Deen an answering Democrat he would, under
the same circumstances, have been promptly re.
moved
With this, however, we believe the Governor
erred IN the course he saw proper 10 take.
While six or eight citizens of DeLand certified
that they had seen Mr.. Benjamin at different
times and places (after the issuance of the order
1or his commitmenO perambuatlng the streets
unattended by guard, the Sheriff and his
guardsmen themselves, and about thirty citizens
OF both political parties, refuted the charge II
is true, as Gov. Fleming says, this was species of
negative testimony, but when the Sheriff asked
TO be shown copy of their affidavts, stating
the times when and places where they had seen
Benjamin unattended, he was entitled to the
record if it required two months. instead of two
days, to transcrbe it, that he might file specific
answers. How, otherwise, could he answer
general charge like that.
In close county, Sheriff Turner had been
elected by nearly six hundred majority of Dem
ocratic and Republican votes He has made
capable and acceptable Official. No other charge
than that of permitting Benjamin to 60 (at times)
unattended on the street has been urged against
him. Benjamin did not escape, nor did he
attempt TO do SO. Justice had suffered no
wrong, and, under all the circumstances, Sheriff
Turner was at least entitled to the benefit of
the reasonable doubt" Mr.. Cooks reference
to the fact that MIR Benjamin had shot an un-
unarmed man CLEARLY stated to influence his
purpose Of having the sheriff removed) does not
amount 10 baubee in view Of the fact that Cap.
tam Douglass had Benjamin's head under the
water and would have drowned him in a few
minutes if the latter had not fired in his own
self-deiense.
We hold that Republican President or Gov
ernor, having the power of removal, should
weigh the evidence against Democratic official
with even more scrupulous care than if the per-
son charged were member of his own party
and vice versa.
We regret the removal Of Sheriff Turner the
more because certain Republicans have charged
that partisan war was to be waged on Captain
Douglass's slayer. Of course Governor Fleming
took none of these false statements into account.
and we believe the fair minded press of the
State will readily acquit him Of the least per-
sonal or political bias. No man can question his
lofty integrity and high sense of honor. The
Times-Union, likewise trying the case on its
merits, is firm in the conviction that Sheriff
Turner was unjustly removed-Times- Union,
July 81.

A tariff for revenue for the necessary
conduct of government economically
administered, is TO be the battle cry in
1892. The Democrats all over the coun-

fight the battle of the ballots on that
great issue, and that they will win is as
certain as the existence of the fact that
millions of people are demanding relief
from robbing and bnrdensome tariff,
