REM1RRABLE.

The sentiment of the Republicans al
ready gathered to attend tomorrow's
state convention seems most overwhelm-
ing in favor of a pronounced plank for
the free coinage of American silver.
They want shonest" money. They are
not repudiators. They believe there can
not be honest money until silver is re-
stored to its place-remonetized-
Neither do the masses of the Republic
cans favor doing nothing till England
acts We have allowed England to die
tate entirely too much. England has re-
joiced at every step this country has
taken to cheaper silver-from the crime
of 1878 down to the repeal of the Sher-
man act last summer.
Listen to the constant cry for bonds,
bonds, repeated in today's Wall street
dispatches Does that look like healthy
business; piling up debts in time of
peace simply to bolster up ruinous
financial system based ON gold alone.
The right kind of a platform may
cover mist axe in nominations.

1t Appears to Have Too Many Candida

TO Present
There is trouble in the Republican
family of Shawnee county about the
multitude of candidates who want to be
presented by the home delegation.
Shawnee county has a candidate for
congressman at-large; one for secretary
OF state and one for lieutenant governor.
A member of the home delegation said
this afternoon. that if all these candi-
dates insist upon being presented they
Will make Shawnee county the laughing
stock of the convention.
General j. G. Caldwell who was urged
for the nomination by the Shawnee
county delegation two years ago, wants
them to perform the same service for
him now.
Col j. W. T. Hughes wants to be sec
rotary of state, and he insists that he is
positively sure of the nomination if the
home crowd will stand by him in the
proper shape.
James A. Troutman says he has not
been a candidate for lieutenant governor.
but since the delegates have been COM
ing in twelve different outside counties
have come to him and pledged
the solid support of their entire
delegations and several outside friends
have offered to present his name to the
convention. He says, however, that if
his name is to be presented he would
prefer to have it presented by the dele
CATION from his home county and then
let the outside delegations second his
nomination.
The caucus of the Shawnee delegation
will have to take some action on this
matter.

It is curious fact that the Republi
can masses favor a new deal. believe in
Ed Hoch, his platform and his views ON
the questions of the day. and yet the
majority of the delegates seem to oppose
him and likewise stalwart George Mar
tin, and favor Mr.. Morrill-whom the
Populists will delight to see nominated.
With Mr.. MorrilTs nomination the Re-
publicans may prepare for the biggest
defensive campaign of its history.

The Sixth district intends to carry
away the nomination for state auditor if
the number of candidates will produce
that result, and five have already made
their appearance. In the lot is G. w.
Jones, colored man from Graham coun-
ty. He shares the general impression
among the colored people that they
should be given one candidate, and so he
is by precedent a candidate for state
auditor. The other candidates from the
Sixth district are: Glenn Hoar of Trego
county; s. w. Gaunt of Rawlins county;

Very Lively at Times.

An Underground River That Makes Things
Very Lively at Times.
Two miles south of Gainesville is q
prairie. At certain seasons strangers
wonder why it is called ''prairie, I"
for they look out upon broad stretch
of water SO deep that storms churn its
surface into rolling white capped bill.
lows. At times the commerce Of the
lake is done by steamer, while at other
times there is not water enough to float
a canoe. In fact, have crossed the
prairie in the steamer and again have
gone over identically the same route in
a stage from whose wheels clouds of
dust would roll.
On the edge of the prairie, half walled
in by rock, dense with immense trees
draped in long festoons of moss, is a
pool of water called ''The Sink The
depth Of it has never been sounded.
From this sink an underground river
flows and makes its way no one knows
where. Sometimes an acre or SO of
land, trees and all, will fall into the
underground river, and then the drain
age of the prairie is obstructed, and the
prail iO fsooa dry" Tn a year Or two
the river will have seeped around the
obstruction, and then the prairie ''goes
wet" In the neighborhood Of Gaines
vile there are hundreds of the sinks,
all Of them as round as dollar and
averaging from quarter to half acre
in extent -
North of Gainesville is pretty and
mysterious spot called the Devils
Millhopper. A lasge stream of water
comes down hill with considerable force
and disappears in a pool that has no
visible outlet. Near Brooksville is an
other pool very similar to the Devils
Millhopper. A stream of water pours
into it and disappears in a whirlpool in
the center. Throw log in it, and it
will circle the pool many times, gradu-
ally drawing nearer to the center. Sud-
denly the log disappears.
Some grewsome stories are connect
ed with the Brooksville pool. It is said
that the place is haunted, for the reason
that many man, and woman, too, has
mysteriously disappeared in it, never
to be heard of afterward. In the pioneer
days Of that part of the country, so the
stories go, there was a secret society
which washed all its dirty linen in that
pool. In other words, if man or wom-
an gave grave offense to any members
of the society, he or she was gagged
bound and in the darkness of night
thrown into the pool.-Florida Times
