FLORIDA.

Fernandina News; Mr.. Call is using
his influence against the regular demo
cratic ticket in this county; of course,
they are anti-Call. Mr. Call is opposed
to the organized democracy OF Florida,
and he is now laying the foundation in
order to lead a campaign against the
party two years hence. Mark the pre-
diction.
Florida Citizen: Only a short time ago
we were told with confidence that the
independents had large majority of the
people behind them. They were COM
PEELED to acknowledge overwhelming de-
feat in the primaries But they told US
to wait until the October election. We
now see that this was only another of
their campaign methods People who are
confident OF victory do not begin TO cry
fraud or to make excuses in advance.
The wonder is that the independents do
| not realize this, Perhaps they would if
they were not so badly demoralized.
These cries of fraud are intended to
change public sentiment in favor of the
Independents, but the public sees in them
only an admission of weakness and an
apology in advance for defeat.
Jacksonville Metropolis: H NJ. Flagler,
| another "alien enemy of the state" who
does not own dollars worth of property
in Georgia, has shown his enmity to
Florida by giving her the finest hotel in
the world, and is now engaged in erect
ing another in a section where five wears
ago only Indians and cattle men resided
lie has also built and equipped one of the
finest railroads from Jacksonville for a
distance of 30l miles, and much of it
through section almost barren of~in-
habitants and towns, and is still eXpend-
ing millions of dollars in Florida, which
the enemies of capital and progress de-
clare is ruination to the state Without
such ''aien capitalists Florida to-day
would be just where she was twenty-five
years ago-poor and helpless.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia Register; The dispensay
Jaw has gained many friends of late,
especially in the up-country. Prohibi-
tiOnists have been converted TO il by the
practical exhibition Of the iuediciency of
prohibition.
Edgefield Advertiser: Gen. Butler has
no more idea of bringing the negro into
politics in this state than he has of
flying. You may set this down in the
book of your remembrance as the truth.
Sumter Freeman alliance: Men who
think they can kick farmers around rs
Jney please, put IlJJle lawyers TO rule
over them for personal gain etc, don't
know the fellows they are dealing with.
Many farmer will vote against John
Gary and his master in November,
though TO date they have shown them
selves long-suffering and patient.
Columbia State: The SAVANNAH News
suggests the editor of the Charleston
News and Courier as the democratic nom
inee for governor. If such a nomination
can serve TO bring the News and Courier
back to its declaration of Sept. 3 that 'if
democratic principles are true principles
they are worth fighting for, even if the
fight should be lost" we shall raise no
objection whatever. AS the News and
Courier on that glorious but feetinR dav
remarked, Damn the Offices We do not
care who shall fill them, what their occu-
patton, where they live and what their
names, if they shall only be democrats in
principle, true 10 the party and firm in
the partys faith"
