THE VICTORY IN MARION!

We point with pride to the victory
achieved in Marion county! 1t was
a victory that means all the name
implies. 1t was a victory free from
fraud; it was victory free from vio-
lence OF intimidation; it was victory
free from corrupting influences of
every sort; it was a victory free from
the vestige or semblance of wrong
doing; it was a victory free from the
strangulation of single ballot! At
every voting place the opposing party
was allowed an inspector. The vote of
every elector who had complied with
the statutory requirements was receiv-
ed and fairly counted.
Faithful Marion, thy vote was not as
large as it might have been, but we
feel proud of thy record and exam
pie! You came out of the con.
test with hands clean and garments
unsoiled. Your political record stands
out before the world as pure as the
covering of the ermine. We are the
more rejoiced because the victory won
on the lines of right doing is owing in
part at least to the teachings conscien-
tious ly promulgated by this paper
through all the years of its life accord
ing to this school of politicsa victory
won on any other lines is not victory
but blot, like the blood on Mac
beth's hands, that will never rub off
and always remain as a tormenting
aecuser!
Marion! we bow in reverence at thy
stainless feet; we kiss thy clean hands
in alteration; we proudly salute thee
as a pure and spotless Queen among
the counties of Florida, and let the
hemp be in readiness for the unholy
hands that dare attempt thy ravish-
mentl

A man went into store in neigh
boring town, says the Griffin (Ga.)
News, and asked if he could rest four
or five hours. The proprietor, who
had just found a nest of newborn
mice in the coffee grinder, told him
he could, and then asked him why he
didn't go to the hotel The man re-
piled: I am suffering from nervous
prostration and the doctor said to get
a quiet place to rest, and / see you
don't advertise. knew that could
not find quieter place. And with
that he settled back in his chair and
watched the swallows build q nest in
the cheese case.

When Mr.. j. NJ. Barrs, attorney for
the city of Jacksonville, rendered an
opinion at the request of the mayor
that it was his duty under the statutory
laws of the state to give police protec-
ton to the voters of that city and to
prevent the enactment of crimes upon
the ballot and to see that fair and
free election was held, Governor
Mitchell at once said his opinion was
revolutionary and Immediately
hastened his adjutant-general to jack
sonville on majestic engine of the F.
G. & p. railroad, which was ready to
to hand, to see that the revolutions
ryn Mr.. Barrs was ''quelled;n but
when the managers of the election in
that city refused TO receive the ballots
of two thousand voters who had COM
piled with every requirement of law,
and who under the constitution and
laws of the state were guaranteed the
right of suffrage, the governor was
silent and permitted this great wrong
to be consummated. Had such a
crime been done in the days of carpet
bagism the people would have been
appalled,, the public conscience would
have been aroused and a revolution
would have been precipitated, or the
the perpetrators of the wrong gone to
prison. HortaiO Jenkins was sent
there for far less offense, and which
served for fierce invective to demo-
cratic stump oratory for more than
twenty years. VIII the democratic
party condone this crowning act of
infamy at Jacksonville or will it make
it the subject for invective and clothe
it's perpetrators with prison stripes?

Storm Experience.

Allen Rogers, Henry Livingston,
Marshall Harding, Ray Bullock and
Whitmyer, were at Gum Swamp
fishing and hunting, when the storm
broke over them. A big tree was
blown over the fly of the tent, limb
of which crushed the cot in which
Harding lay. The occupants took
to the woods.
Whitmyer went out to see about
his horses, got lost and had to hug a
tree until dawn so dense was the
darkness.

Effects of the Storm,

Advices from various portions of
the county show that damage done by
the storm is estimated on the fruit
crop from three to twenty per cent.
Citra had many orange trees crushed
by falling forest trees. Henry Dunn
had fifteen trees crushed. Many groves
suffered in a similar manner.
The lemon groves al Lake Weir suf-
fered severely.
AT Stanton the Buffum grove lost
several hundred boxes of fruit. On
South Lake Weir the Aekron and
Lake Weir groves suffered most, while
other groves escaped with little loss.
AT Gambler Tom Richards grove suf-
fered most, several hundred boxes of
fruit were blown to the ground.
While the late storm was fierce and
destructive in certain locations it did
much less damage than the storm of
last season.

The Vote Outside of Marion.

The purity of democracy has been
despoiled in its own household; free
ballot-the magma charta of American
manhood-the ark of our covenant
with freedom-has been invaded and
its sacred vestures stolen!
In Nassau, and VoIusia, and Lake, a
victory has been obtained by methods
so unholy that they will leave stains
on the escutcheons OF democracy that
time will hardly efface.
In Duval two thousand voters, COM
plying with every requirement of law,
were denied the constitutional right
of voting. 1t was not an election. It
was an emasculation of guaranteed
rights. 1t was a political assassina-
tion. Two thousand democratic votes,
in defiance of law, were strangulated.
Will these methods be tolerated and
condoned? Will it give material, vi
tality and life to the reform move
ment? Will its friends now falter in
the work they have so nobly and un-
selfishly begun?

tional amendments:

Mrs Frances s. Starka Dead.

Word reached Ocala Tueseay morn
ing that Mrs. Francis F. Starke had
died at Ocklawaha station, resulting
from injuries inflicted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Harter, of that place.
1t seems that Mrs. Starke had sold
Mr.. Hartor piece of property. She
went there last Thursday and trouble
grew out of the call, in which Mrs. s..
was roughly handled. Saturday she
made another visit and received worse
treatment than on the first visit. She
brought suit against the Harters be-
fore Squire Clarence Smith, but the
evidence showed it was a neighbor-
hood feud and he dismissed the case.
Mrs. Starke was taken ill, however,
Saturday afternoon, and DR.. Myers
was called in and on examination the
woman showed sighs of being badly
beaten and her internal injuries were
such that she died from them Monday.
The Harters were again arraigned and
put under a bond of $3.50. Deceased
was widow. Her first husband was
Jake Sligh.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l3.-Jud re McCOmas
says: The secretary of the treasury has
concluded the sugar bounty repeal para
graphs of the tariff act of 1894. 1t is the
repeal OF the act of October /, 1890 reQuir-
ing supervision and inspection of the
production Of sugar, but this clause was
not expressly repealed. 1t is, however
incidental and intermediate, the issuing
Of licenses to producers and payment oil
bountes to them. These are expressly
repealed and the issuing of licenses and
payment Of bountieS is declared unlawful
The repeal OF the clause for inspection
and supervision is useless fragment oil
the state, therefore fairly implied"
Tie court resuseS to interfere with the
decision of the treasurer and suggests the
only relief for sugar producers, holding
uneXpired licenses is by appeal to Con-
gress, presumably for financial recon-
pense The petition for mandamuS is
therefore refused.
