racy Safe in Orange County.
Sanford, Fla, Sept. 1S.-Great prepara-
lions are being made for the grand demo-
cratic barbecue and public speaking here
to-day and tonight. Although Gunby,
STRIPPING, Chubb and other leading repub-
lican candidates have spoken here and
| rallied their forces, the outlook for
| Orange county is good. Some of Senator
| Calls kinsmen and supporters have put
| a "silver democratic ticket in the field
/ simply to elect three members of the leg
| islature favorable to his reelection, but
there is no hope of success. The anti
| Call element is too strong in this county,
| and the same is true of very many other
! counties where he has had independent
| tickets put in the field.
| AS to the national ticket, I fail to dis
! cover anywhere in Florida sufficiently
| strong element to warrant success to the
ticket And yet I see reports in the New
| York papers that Florida is one of the
| southern states likely to go for Palmer
| and Buckner, or Mckinley and Hobart.
If any such result is in process of
incubation, it must be in the nest of
silent" voters who are saving wood in
| the back yard and saying nothing to
nobody" not in the secret. 1t is safe to
| put Florida in the Bryan and Sewall list
| as a permanent quantity.
! Bishop Gray of the Southern Florida
| diocese tells me that he does not think
Lieut.. S. b. Satterlee, U. S. A., intends to
resign at present from the army. He has
| simply applied for "deacon's ORDERS" and
| in that capacity he can do mission work
| and preach without interference with his
military duties, just as he has been serv-
ing for several years past as a 'lay read
err in the church. 1t is quite likely, how
ever, that Lieut.. Satterlee will in due
| time resign his commission in the army
and be advanced to the priesthood of the
Protestant Episcopal church and devote
the balance of his life to the cause of
Christ, in which he is already so deeply
interested.
1 nave just seen Mr.. George H. Fernald
one of Sanford most prominent business
men, who has been to Clearwater in the
interest of contract with President
Plant, for providing. a water tank, etc.
for his new Bellevue hotel near there
Sanford is not only proud, but grateful
that the Plant system gives so much OF
its work to Florida contractors and me-
chanics. Mr.. Fernald comes back greatly
! enUhused over the beautiful gulf coast re-
sort that Mr. Plant is erecting. The To-
cation is one of the most commanding and
healthful in the state, and the manner in
which the hotel, cottages, etc, are being
arranged promises to make it the most
| beautiful, healthful and picturesque win
ter resorts in all Florida.
The joyousness of our political Jubilee
to-day is tinged with sadness over the
news, just received by telegraph, of the
death of eX-State Senator Joseph f.
| Baya of Columbia county. Only a short
while ago he was here in apparent good
health and presided over the congress
sional convention, he being the popular
and efficient chairman of the congress
sional committee. In his death the party,
as we'll as the state, sustain a great lose
We are also saddened by the absence OF
ex-Gov. w. S. Bloxham, one of the an,
nounced speakers, who is confined to his
bed at home by sickness, and has been
compelled to cancel several dates in his
| itinerary.
Several newspapers, in their accounts of
Lii Hung Changes visit and Gen. Ruger's
official care of him, refer TO the fact that
| Gen. Ruger was at one time governor of
| Georgia, but his name does not appear
in any list of Georgias governors. This
is an error During the 1888 sesqui-cen-
| tennial in Savannah edited an "Ogle-
thorpe Souvenir" in which 1 not only
gave list OF every governor of the state
but also a complete list of United States
| senators. The reconstruction period had
James Johnson, provisional governor. 1866
| Charles ]. Jenkins, democratic governor
| 1865; Gen. r. H. Kruger, military governor
1865; r. B. Bullock, republican governor
1868; Benjamin Conley, acting governor
1871; James M. Smith, democratic govern
| or 1872.
1t is a singular fact that of all the gov
ernors up to Gov. James S. Boynton, who
filled part OF Gov. Stephens term, Bullock
and Ruger are the only ones now living
