SOMETHING FROM FLORIDA.
For some weeks past there has been
a deadlock in the Florida legislature
over the election of a United States
Senator to succeed Senator Call. The
Florida legislature is composed of 81
members, 81 of whom are Alliance men.
The Senator is elected here by the two
thirds rule. Mr.. Call has been leading
in the ace so far, having held as many
as So votes on several ballots. The
partisan press succeeded for a time in
dividing the Alliance men, numbers Of
them having given Mr.. Call their votes.
But at this writing the deadlock seems
to be growing tiresome, and there is a
disposition on the part Of most of the
Alliance men to come together on ALI
ance principles. For a long time about
% of the Alliance members have voted
for an Alliance candidate, and have
had the support of some non-Alliance
friends. Now IS Alliance men are
standing solidly together, and these are
hoping that they will be speedily joined
by some more of their brethren, and
from present indications it looks as
though their hopes may be realized.
The outlook for an Alliance Senator
from Florida is hopeful.

sectionalism and sectional prejudice.
It has almost accomplished this object,
and nov for the first time in a third of

fact as well as in name. People from
the different sections are wanting to
exchange ideas and views and come
together in one great ~fraternal unity
for the preservation of liberty and
beneficent public institutions. Appli-
