Florida and South Carolina.

GEORGIA.
Dariep Gazette. Senators Walsh and
Gordon and Secretary Hoke Smith will
soon take the stump for straightout de-
uOcracy. We feel sorry for the poor
delnded populists.
LAWYERS has been lifted in third party
ranks. ana they now about mOuopolile all
the applications for Office. Col William
Whitaker of Barnesville, late indie
Dandent. greenbacker, anti-prohibitionis
ami general sOFehead, has been. made
fheir nominee for congress from this dis
trict. to fall a victim to the slaughter Of
gallant Charlie Bartlett.
Tattnan journal: Dr. J. w. Hinton an
eminent divine of great wisdom and
learning, gives this proposition nearly. or
quite sell evident; When two metals
are of different commercial value they
can not be kept on a parity, but by limit
ing the coinage of the inferior metal.
The limitation in such cases is the only
salvation of the less valuable coin.
cambridge Democrat: TIL e demand
for ballot reform in Georgia has begun.
Il will not grow any milder from this
time to the meeting of the legislature
The general call for some imprO vement
in the election methods of Georgia was
disregarded by the last general assent bly,,
but we win see what the incoming one
will say and do about it. It's got 10 come
the times demand it.
FLORIDA.
Ocala Capitol: The democratic conven-
ton at Palatka ignored the independents
from Duval and the other two counties
This settles the fate of independentism in
Florida.
Jacksonville Metropolis: The working
men Of Florida know who their friends
are 1t is not a city government which
provides them with little jobs Just before
an election to be paid for out Of the taxes
wruug from the people, but railroads and
steamship lines, house builders and town
makers. Over S2g,0O0 per month are paid
out to poor men by railroads alone which
enter this city. not for a few weeks, but
for years. Who are the best friends,
those who aid you to-day only or those
who aid you for years.
Sumterville Times: Tho denomination
of Senator Marks by reclamation will be
another sad blow to Ex-senator Abrams.
1t is the voice of the people of Osceola
and Orange rebuking the demagogue of
Lake Senator Marks felt confident his
constituents would indOrse his course,
and did not hesitate to accept the chal-
lenge of the doughty major" The re
suit of Abrams childish challenge is,
that he is out of Office, aud will, in all
human probability, stay out, while the
man he 50 vituperately and mendaciously
attacked is indOrsed by his people by &C
clamation-the highest recognition that
can be given to man before the people.
If Marks feels proud, he is excusable; if
Abrams does not feel Inundated, he is
beyond redemption.

Palmetto Post: The reformers of Beau
fort county have grown tired of the COM
bination heretofore existing between the
democrats of Beaufort county and the
fusion republicans. and are determined to
have a straightout democratic fight in
this county. 1t appears that what is
known as the regular democracy have
been denouncing the reformers and their
candidate for the United States Senate,
Gov TIlman, md the reformers will no
longer lend their aid to the furtherance
of what is known as fusion, in which the
republicans get the turkey and the demo

determined to make straight fight and
trust to the sentiment of all classes to
