Florida Republicans Are United,

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 12.-The Lilly
White faction of Duval county republi-
cans met to-day in convention to nomi-
nate officers, but adjourned after having
appointed a committee OF five to consult
with a similar committee of the Egan
wing Of the party concerning harmony.
There seems now no doubt but that
the county republicans will unite upon
one ticket.
The democrats of the county are d.
vided into two factions, and unless they
combine, republican victory is assured,
for the reason that the republicans can
poll about the same strength as demo-
Gratis when there is no division.
Democratic harmony here, under the
present bitter condition, seems hopeless.
