THE CAMPAIGN.

The battle is on for the state. The
democratic candidates are out and
prepared to discuss the issues before
the people. Appointments are made.
The executive committee have plan.
ned the work So far all is well. Blu,
the people-the voters-have much
to do if we shall win such a signal
victory as will put to rest all mere
factional struggle for power.
The local committee wherever
these appointments are made, and the
people should arouse interest in the
meetings, induce their friends and
neighbors to attend, and thus force
an influence upon the county and
create the proper enthusiasm.
1t is not only to barely win, but to
win largely and honestly, so that re-
suits will be beyond cavil, and the
principles of the old party fixed in
the minds and affections of the peo-
pie by the success and achievements
of the campaign.
Such a victory would indeed be
an old-time democratic victory, and
the enthusiasm and esprit de corps
necessary largely depends upon the
counties at their meetings.

TIE noisy clamOr of the republi-
cans against the democratic appor-
tionment, says the New York World,
only serves to recall the fact that in
violation of the constitution they
persisted in disfranchising 1900, 900
people for seven years aud prevented
the majority of the people in New
York from controlling their own
Legislature. If ever a party were
devoted to seat-stealing and gerry
Wandering it is that which pretends
to be shocked by the democratic ap-
portionment. This is the kind of
virtue which sometimes compels
healthy men to resolve never to re-
form.

TIE FOR THE SECOND
DISTRICT

Charles Merriam Cooper, the demo-
cratic candidate for congress from
the Second Florida District, was
born at Athens, Ga, January 26.
1856. He was brought to Florida
by his parents in August, 1864. The
Coopers lived IN Alachua county
first, where he was for a time under
tutorship Of Rev. DR.. Watson, a
Methodist minister and q classmate
of Gen. r. E. Lee at West Point.
He attended the Gainesville Acad-
envy for about two years, when his
family moved to Fernandina. There
he was put under the tutorship of
Rev. DR.. Frank johnson. a learned
minister, from whom he acquired a
thorough knowledge of Greek, Latin
and other ancient languages. This
completed his general education, and
then studied law with his father
The last year of his legal studies
was under Judge Emmons. after
ward encouragement of the state.
He taught himself French and Span
ish; the latter language he studied
for the purpose of more fully inves-
tigating the Spanish grants which are
so closely connected with the land
laws Of Florida. Upon these CUES.
tions he is an admitted auAhority.
He commenced the practice Of law
with Judge Eamons, and moved to
st. Augustine in q short time. He
was sent to the legislature from st.
Johns county in 1880, and served
one term. On his first appearance
in the legislature he was made chair.
man of the judicial committee and OF
several others Of equally great i'm
pOrtance. He was sent back as state
senator, where he remained for only
a few months, being appointed at
torney-general by Governor Perry
to succeed Judge Rainey. He was
soon afterward rendered a jadgeship
on the supreme bench, which he de-
clined. In 1883 he married Miss
Rosa Leonardy of st. Augustine, q
niece of General William and II. T.
Baya of this city. When his time
expired at encouragement he went
into the practice of law with Col. G.
p. and j. G. Cooper, his father and
brother. He gained a great repAta-
ton as . lawyer in the cases of those
charged with political offences, who
were tried in the United States conrt.
He gratuitously defended them and
did more than any other man to
break the backbone of that inquisi
ton. Later he was rendered seat
on the supreme bench by Governor
Fleming, which he again declined.
He accepted, however, a commission
together with Attorneys Blount Of
Pensacola and Massey Of Orlando
to revise the laws of Florida, which
compilation has just been completed.
He has been most prominent figure
in many OF the mot prominent legal
cases before the courts Of this state.

PARTY SPLITS

AAS1 ~ LILO
Unity, self-sacrifice and organic
alton, supplemented by hard and
persistent work, are the only ele-
ments leading to party success.
In view of this premise, the Flo
RIDIAN ventures thought or two in
reference to the muddle in Duval
county. Our fellow citizens Of that
county may think and say that we
of distant county have nothing to
do with their local affairs. This we
beg the privilege of denying. The
present political condition of that
county inside the democratic party
is positive injury to it, the state
over; an injury to the character of
the party, to its strength, and, if
such state Of things were to be-
come general in the state, it would
destroy the party.
For these reasons every fibre of
the democratic party becomes CO.
relatively interested and must be-
come co-su6erers, and, therefore, it
is time the press and the party
should put its foot upon this state
Of affairs, and demand that obedience
to the constituted authorities of the
party organization should be rem
dered, and its acts be submitted to,
or on refusal the parties refusing
should be authoritatively declared
as boilers of the party and there
fore independents, acting without
the party organization.
There can be but one proper and
legitimate county executive commit
tee Of the democratic party in Duval
county, and that committee is tue
one recognized by the state eonven-
ton Of the democratic party at
Tampa, which recognized the dele
gates selected BY the same county
convention who selected and author
lied the county committee. 1t is
not to be considered now, the irreg-
ularities which may have occurred,
or the fraud charged. These both
have been charged against both
claimants for recognition. The state
convention had the whole case be.
fore them, committee sat all night
and day, majority and minority
report was made, a full discussion
was had, and vote almost unani
NOUS, three hundred and odd tx
seventy.nine, or near these numbers
and there and then the question O
regularity and recognition was final
lily and forever settled by the gu
lpreme Curt. 50 to write, and til,

organized democrats and true part,
!. men will yield to the decision. AMI

bulletins. While much of the space is
given to statements relative to the
fruits and nuts of California and
Florida, Texas is not left out in the
report, but has total acreage of trees,
bearing and non-bearing, of 20S0 acres.
or this area POOP are in pecan, seventy
one in figs and two in orange OF the
number of bearing trees in this state
there are 26,575, thus divided: Figs,
2555; kali, 313; orange, Y. OF nom
bearing trees, a large per cent having
been planted within the last four or
five years, there are 81, 96s-fgs, 6533;
kaki, s02; orange, 184;- pecan, 60,449.
1t is probable that these figures are
only approximate, and that the past
and present year will show large in
crease, particularly in pecan planting,
as the culture of this nut is now at
tracing much attention. It is very
probable that before many years Texas
will rival Mississippi and Louisiana in
the cultivation of orange and pecans.
