REPUBLICANS IN 1T.

A Washington special says that
United States Marshal Buck OF
Georgia is there, partly in his capac-
ity as marshal to settle some &C
counts and partly in his capacity as
republican boss of Georgia, to talk
with repu blican leaders and third
party leaders about the alliance be.
tween the republican and third party
men in Georgia, and especially about
a combination on the presidential
election.
It is we'll understood that the re-
publicans are advancing money to
help on the third party in the south
and more complete understanding
than EXISTS between the republican
leaders and the third party leaders is
considered probable.
Marsbaled by the whites of the
third party in every district the re-
publican negroes would be, the re
publ can leaders think, more formid
able than they have ever been.

AS far IS reported thirteen
counties have held their conventions
and selected delegates to the state
convention. These are Baker, Brad
ford, DeSoto, Duval, Escsmbia,
Hllsborough, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Orange, Osceols, Polk and
Taylor.
Of these, four counties, DeSoto,
Duyal, Hillsborough and Polk, with

One county, Monroe, with eleven

One county, Bradford, with ten
delegates, instructed for Hon. John

The other seven counties, Baker,
Escambia, j efersou, Madison, Orange,
Osceola, and Taylor, send their
delegates uninstructed.
To attempt at this writing any
forecast of how the uninstructed
delegates will vote, would be doing

other candidates to fire at. Enough
information is given in the foregoing
however, to enable the initiated tc

CURRENT COMMENT.
Albert J. Russell would make an excel
lent Governor-Apalachicola Times.

Nv
The Office of State Comptroller, for the
next term of four years. as is fitting, will
undoubtedly be filed by the present in
cumbent, Hon. W. D. Bloxham, whose
eminent fitness for the position, supple
mented by his popularity, demand con-
tinuance. 1t is an Office requiring pecu-
liar aptitude and capacity for hard work,
and these Gov. Bloxham possesses to a
high degree.-Palatka Herald.
wv
While not unmindful of the handsome
compliment paid him by LEX" in
Sundays Times Union, in announcing him
as man in every particular capable of oc-
cupying the high position of Attorney
General, Senator Calhoun desires the
Herald to state that he is in no sense a can
didate. This will be regretted by his
friends everywhere. Senator Calhoun is
one of the aolest lawyers in Florida and
would occupy the position with credit
Palatka Herald.
Nv
Bloxham for comptroller, is the general
desire of the people of Florida. He has
made good officer and the state can do no
better than to reflect him. 1t is a good
idea that when you get the right kind OF
man in Office to keep him there until pro-
per cause for removal is discovered.-Fort
White Boomer.
wv
A correspondent in the Times, Union
heartily endorses Hon. B. r. Milan for
Attorney. General.
Hon. w. D. Bloxham seems to have no
opposition, and will probably be renomi-
mated for state comptroller, in which posi-
ton he b as given entire satisfaction. Hon
est, fearless, acquainted with Florida's
financial methods and needs, Mr.. Blox ham
would be- acceptable to the people of all
sections of the state Personally and off
cially, he is deservedly one of the most
popular men in the siate.-Tampa Tribune
