CHAT ABOUT POLITICS.

There is plenty of time between
now and next summer to pick out
the democrats we want to fill the
various state offices. There is plenty
of good timber in Florida, and it
ought to be an easy matter to select
the best men to watch over the in
terests Of the state.
There will doubtless be a number
Of candidates for gubernatorial hon.
ors, and it is all right if their friends
want thus early to begin to discuss
their merits and capacity for filling
that honorable position, but the
FLoR1D1AN agrees with the Times.
Union that early booms are apt to
become over-infated and rise out OF
sight before the assembling Of the
state convention.
The candidate who works quietly.
without the blowing of trumpets, or
the buster Of lengthy newspaper
articles in his favor, is generally the
one who wins the race.
But there is a much more impor.
tant matter to occupy the minds OF
democrats just now than who the
candidates will be. 1t seems to be
generally accepted that there is going
to be fight between the adherents
of the two-thirds rule and of the ma
jority rule. For the sake of demo.
Cratic harmony it is important that
this fight should be fought and the
matter finally settled before the as.
sembling Of the state convention.
How this can be done has hereto.
fore been stated in these columns
and in those of other Florida news
papers. The way to decide the
matter without heated debate on the
floor Of the convention, which would
most likely result in anything but
a harmonious settlement, is for the
people themselves to settle the next
problem by instructing their dele
gates, either at primaries or in con.
vention in the various counties, how
to vote on the question. That would
settle the matter for all time and
and prevent bitter factional disturb.
ances. The people would then know
before the assembling of the conven.
ton whether the two-thirds rule was
to be adhered to or the majority rule
adopted, and they would accept the
result as the will of the people and
blot out their personal preferences.
The newspapers in every county
of the state should take up this ques
ton and bring it to the attention Of
their voters. The sooner it is set
tied the better.
fractional difference is disease
which saps away the life of party
a house divided against itself must
sooner or later fall. Let US then get
together and agree upon these little
differences and prepare to battle with
the common enemy-the hydra-head-
ed piutocracy which mas placed the
high tariff yoke upon the necks Of the
people.
We must help this year to elect a
democratic president.
