Davidson viii Make the Fight.

so il is ex-Congressrlan Robert II. ii.
Davidson of Gadsden county who is to test
the question whether Senator Cali was legal
ly reelected United States senator by the
Florida legislature last spring. There were
many who thought that Gov. Fleming would
appoint Mr. Chipley, who is not only a
democrat Of prominence and ability. but
also a very earnest and active opponent of
| Senator Call.
The ground on which Gov. Fleming with
held a certificate OF election from Senator
Call and appointed Mr.. Davidson senator is
that Senator Calls election was not legal,
because there was not quorum OF the Sem
ate present in the joint session Of the legis-
lature at which Senator Call was reelected.
A majority of the senators left Tallahassee
the day of the joint session, aud, hence, the
Senate could not vote to 60 into JOINT session.
Enough of the senators were in the joint
session, however, to make a majority Of all
the members of the legislature. and Senator
Call received the votes of a majority of the
whole number of senators and representa-
tives. Gov. Fleming holds that under the
constitution of Florida q joint session must
bo COupOe6l Vi u lhaJOAAbJ Va Su0 AhoAhOC' D
OF each house OF the general assembly.
Senator Call holds, of course, that major
ity of all the members elected to the legis~
lature can elect United States senator.
The issue is now made up, and it will be
presented 70 the United States Senate for
decision. Senator Call is confident that he
is right, and that he will be given the posi-
ton to which he was elected. Mr. Davidson
is & man of marked ability, and it is GER
tain that he would not have accepted the
appointment if he did not believe the view
the governor takes Of the matter is the
right one.
The case is certain to attract great deal
OF attention. While the expressions OF
opinion thus far have been in favor of Sen
ator Calls side of it nevertheless there is a
great deal TO be said on the other side.
Mr.. Davidson is very highly respected in
Florida. He was member Of the Forty
fifth, Forty sixth Forty-seventh, Forty
eighth, Forty,ninth aud Fiftleth congresses
and has held other important public
positions He IS well qualified, not only by
his ability, but also by his long experience
in public life, 70 succeed in the contest
which his appointment has inaugurated
and be viii succeed If success is possible.

The MORNING News will begin next Sun
day the publication Of IAN octave Of sto-
ries" by brilliant novelists. There are eight
of the stories, each containing two install
ments. the title of the first story is my
Two Wives" Of which Mr.. G. R. Sims-a
fcvorite and successful WRITER'S the
author. 1t possesses a very original plot.
1t describes the return OF an Englishman
from the colonies, after an absence of some
years, during which time he has lived
tneognito, amassed fortune and married
wife.
He visits the family burial plot. and finds
there set forth the date of his own death
and interment. This extraordinary dis
covery leads to an inquiry.
He had been married before, but supposed
bis former wife was dead. She, however,
turned up after he left the country placed
the inscription on the tomb, and married a
wealthy sutton.
There are other circumstances In the case
which further complicate matters, and the
reader will be grathed at the satisfactory
manner in which the plot is worked out to
pleasant conclusion.
) The remaining stories Of the series are va
rious IN character, and are dramatic, roman
tic or sensational, as the case may be.
The stories will also be published in the
WEEKLY News.

Flower ia the Candidate.

The New York democrats have made
their ticket, and very good one it is. Con-
gresham Flower is the nominee for COVER
nor. and his nomination can hardly fail to
give very general satisfaction. He is man
Of the highest character ana unquestioRed
ability. Without being an offensive par
tisan he Is a democrat of the strictest sort.
Few, if any, democrats OF New York have
rendered their party more acceptable SER
vice. He ia always ready to work for the
dissemination Of democratic principles and
the advancement of the Democratic party.
He has some enemies in the party, but
they are not enemies who will seek his de-
feat. They opposed his nomination, but
will not oppose his election. The nomina-
ton of no other man would have contri-
buted SO much to party harmony.
The republicans will say, of course that
Mr.. Flower is a Wall street man and was
nominated because of his money. The peo-
pie know Mr.. Flower too we'll. however, to
be influenced by any such statement They
know his record, and that is sufficient to
assure them that be stands for pure and
economical government, and that he is in
close sympathy with the masses.
The republican candidate. Mr.. Fsssett,
has the advantage of youth, but be stands
for every thing that is bad in politics. He is
but the monthpiece of the republican boss
Mr.. Thomas Plett. and during the whole of
his public career he has not dared to take
any step in politics that was not indicated by
him. He was made collector of the port Of
New York only few weeks ago by Mr..
Platt's influence, and Mr.. Plat had him
nominated for governor. And if he should
be elected MIR. Platt would be the power in
the governors Office.
The people know all of these things and
they will not forget them at the polls In
Mr.. Flower they see a man who will make
them good executive, and in Mr. Fassett
they see man who will use the governors
office to carry out the schemes of Mr.. Platt.
| And the democrats cannot afford to be de-
feated. II they are victorious the national
democracy will win the presidency next
wear.

A Message from Georeia.

In his address at the meeting OF tne
Young Mems Democratic League IN the
hall Of the House Of Representatives, u0'
day night, Gov. Northen said that the ue'n-
ocrats of the country were waiting iOi q
message from Georgia. and that ne "oulu
sand II IL was this: "The Georgia ueLno-
Gratis will be solid in 1892 " This message
will have an inspiring effect upon democrats
in every other state. An impression mas
gone abroad that the third party has foot
hold in Georgia. and that the ranks or
Gaorgis democrats will be broken In
the presidential campaign next year. This
q Iorgalv due TO the speeches and inter
views Of Col Polk, president OF the Ma
tionaI Farmers Alliance, Congressman
Jerry Simpson and Senator PETER, OF
Kansas. and Gen. Weaver, Of Iowa Col.
| Polk is reported to have said few days ago
| in Kansas that the third party would sweep
the country in 1892, and that the south was
strongly in favor of the third party move
ment After their visit to this state Con-
gresham Simpson. Gen. Weaver and Mrs
Lease gave it out that Georgia farmers
heartily sympathised with the third party,
and would give it a strong support. In his
Batesburg Is. c. speech, Congressman
Watson refused to say whether or not he
would support the Democratic party If the
national democratic convention should re-
fuse to indorse the Ocala platform.
1t is evident, therefore, that there is
danger that an effort will be made next
year to break the ranks Of the Democratic
party of Georgia if the third party, which
already has an organization in a number of
states. dominates a presidential ticket. 1t
is the duty Of Georgia democrats to provide
against this danger. and they can do that in
no more effective way than by organizing
just such leagues as the one that has been
organized in Atlanta. 1t is necessary that
democrats in all parts of the state shall be
told just what the danger is that threatens
their party and urged to stand shoulder to
shoulder in defense of their party and its
time-honored principles. A democratic
league should be organized in every county
in the state whose duty it should be to
point out the necessity for party harmony
aud unity and to secure the services Of
effective democratic speakers.
The meeting a. Atlanta will do vast
amount Of good. The speeches that were
made will have the effect of srousinG the
old-time democratic enthusiasm. Gov.
Northen and Congressman Crisp pointed
out in clear and strong language the lines
upon which the Democratic party nus:
conduct the campaign Of 1892 in order %
be victorious, and they showed how inpor-
e H. Ill
classes that the Democratic party shall De
victorious. Such speeches viii make the
democrats of Georgia so solid that no
amount of third party enthusiasm will
break their ranks in 1892 Let Us have the
leagues and let them arouse the enthusiasm
of the democracy throughout the state.

Washington advices state that in answer
to question from Congressman Enochs of
Ohio, as to why some pension claims re-
ceved prompter notice than others, Com
missioner Raum has written a long letter
giving interesting facts. During the last
year an average OF 500 letters per day were
received at the pension bureau from menu
bers of congress, and an average of $500
per day from lawyers and claimants, max
ing 1890 letters TO be opened daily. On
July there were 929 ,426 pending pension
claims. About 900 claims are adjudicated
every month. Rsum says 800, 900 must be
fixed this year, which is 100000 more than
in 1890. Furthermore he says that there
will not be deficit in the appropriation,
of SlSS, 173 .0s5 which was made by the last
congress for the pension bureau. How he
has arranged the fiscal shortage on this CAM
paign basis is a mystery. But that is the
most interesting statement in the whole ex-
plauation-if it's true.

we had shipped being short-handed, at a port
