THE FLORIDA ELECTION.
STATE GONE DEMOCRATIC, BUT
NO FIGURES HAVE BEEN
RECEIVED.
The Gold Democrats Supported the
Regular Democratic Ticket-Mil-
lionaire Sewall Writes a Letter Of
Acceptance and Deplores the In
cas- of Wealth.

Pensacola, Fla, Oct.6.-The general
election for the state and county Off
Gals was held throughout Florida to-
day. There were three tickets in the
field for state officers, democratic, re-
publican and populist. and also for
county officers in nearly all the coun-
tiea. The gold democrats supported the
democratic ticket, and there is no doubt
OF its success. In the election today
the Australian ballot was used for the
first time in this city. The result Of
the new system was very satisfactory
and the election passed of quietly, the
most important being to abolish the
October elections. 1t is believed this
amendment has been adopted.
Notwithstanding returns from
all parts Of the state show democratic
majorities In every county, but afford
no basis for an estimate of Bloxham's
plurality for governor. No COMPARE
sons can be made with 1892, tnasmuch
as the republicans had no ticket in the
field In that year. Because Of the Aus
tralian ballot system the counting Of
votes In the larger district will take all
night.

TOM WATSON ACCEPTS.

Chicago. Oct. "a special to the Tri-
bune from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Tom Watson has dictated a letter
accepting the populist nomination for
vice president. 1t is addressed to
Chairman Butler and is a vigorous, in,
cisive document. Mr.. Watson will re,
wise the document and make it public,
probably tomorrow.
In his letter of acceptance the popu-
list leader calls attention 10 the almost
forgotten fact that during the st. Louis
convention a caucus of "middle-of-the-
road" delegates, representing twenty
n states, was held. At this caucus
the delegates agreed to nominate Nor
ton of Illinois for president and Biz.
ket OF Mississippi for vice president.
That ticket, Mr.. Watson asserts.
would have made Mr.. Bryan's defeat
absolutely certain. But when Watson
telegraphed a message saying he was
willing to accept second place on the
ticket with Bryan, the "mtddle-of-the.
road" men, believing the democratic
managers would support the arrange
ment in good faith. withdrew their op,
position to Bryan.
Mr.. Watson's letter rs principally an
argument that the populist candidate
for vice president deserves the sup,
port of all who favor Bryan's election.

A HORROR.

New York, Oct. "a special from
New Haven to the Evening World says
the police of that city believe that the
brakemen of the Consolidated railroads
have been ruthlessly numbering tramps
caught stealing rides. 1t is asserted
that 10 bodies, all mangled by being
run over by trains, have been found on
the tracks of the Consolidated railroad
within six months.
The dispatch states that a mar nam
ed Moloney from Brooklyn was shot to-
day and thrown from the train by
hands, but survived his injuries and has
given information to the authorities
which will lead to the arrest of a brake
man named Bean. The latter accord
ing to the story. confessed t o the super
intendent OF police that the New Haven
trainmen made a practice of killing the
tramps found on the cars.

PLAIN ARGUMENT.


To the Editor of The Republican.
Suppose one of our merchants should
announce to the school children that
on next Saturday he would sell a dollar
bag of candy for five cents, and in the
meantime would take a paper bag that
would hold a dollars worth of sugar,
place in it five cents worth of candy
and initiate the bag SO that when the
children came for the candy they would
receive this inflated bag for five cents.
You would say it was "a delusion and
a snare" For the bag would have the
appearance Of containing a dollars
worth of candy. and would act as a
snare to catch every kid in town. Now
you couldn't say that the merchant adj
vertised a %falsehood, for he didn't.
When he said "a dollar bag" he re-
ferred to the bag and not the contents.
Look out! Mr.. Scott In his address
referred to the coinage value Of silver.
It's a delusion and a snare. By saying
coinage value" he means the inflated
bag and not the value of the contents.
When the mines of this western coun-
try are opened for the production Of sill.
yer to be coined freely and unlimitedly
at the ratio Of 1G to l, the miners will
be paid in these silver dollars whose
coinage value is $1.29 per ounce, but
whose commercial value may be only
GS cents per ounce.
If the miners could receive three dol,
lars worth Of silver for a days work,
instead of three silver dollars, with
the commercial value of silver at GO
cents per ounce, he would receive 4 An
ounces of silver for his days work,
which he could have coined into dollars
and have $500 for his days work.
Laboring men, consider this ques
ton and see If you want to be paid your
wages with an inflated coin or a coin
whose contents are as valuable as its
surface indicates. $50

THEY A TO G

st. Louis, Oct. GA special to the
Republic from Washington says: Ru-
mors are rife that Senator Blackburn
will challenge Logan Carlisle to fight a
duel because Of the latter's recent pub
lished card In which he declared 1t
would be more honor to hold joint de-
bate on the financial question with a
negro than with Blackburn. So far as
it a be learned here, no challenge
has been received. The senator left
town Saturday and has not been heard
of since and the officials at headquar-
tiers r greatly annoyed at his failure
to keep appointments. His departure
is shrouded in mystery. The theory
here is that Colonel Blackburn is con-
sulting friends preparatory to chal-
longing Logan Carlisle.

CALLERS


Canton. Ohio, Oct. Grain and
slush did not keep big delegations from
Canton today. There have been no
more enthusiastic callers here than
those today from Tonawanda, Buffalo,
and Syracuse, N. Y, and Lenewe coun-
ty. Michigan. Needless Of the drench-
ing showers and mud, the callers
marched to McKinley's home and were
reviewed from a little stand on the
front lawn by Major and Mrs. McKin-
ley and a number of friends of the fam
lily. A special train of five coaches ar
rived about 3 O'Clock this afternoon
bearing the lumber dealers of Buffalo
and Tonawanda. This was a distin-
guished appearing and thoroughly en-
thustastic body. 1t was composed OF
the business men connected with the
lumber trade and according to the
statement of the spokesman 1t included
many former democrats. The recep-
ton was held in the tabernacle, rain
preventing a demonstration on the
lawn.
Willard Burns made the Introductory
address. Shortly after 5 o'clock a spe-
cial train of five coaches arrived bear
ing the republican clubs OF Syracuse,
N. Y. The most prominent in this was
the handsomely uniformed and we'll
dressed Syracuse Escort. There were
also representatives OF thirteen other
clubs. including a detachment of wheel
men, introduced by Daniel Critchton.
The delegation was composed of promi-
nent business men. A few minutes az
ter the Syracuse party arrived a special
train Of ten coaches reached Canton,
bringing a delegation named in honor
Of Lenewe county and organized in the
vicinity of Albion. Mich. They were
about 80 per e farmers. The dele
cation in the pouring rain marched to
the Mckinley home to view the lawn.
They then returned to the tabernacle,
where Henry G. Smith made an intro
ductory address.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
PEDESTRIANS PLEASURES.
Remark In Behalf OF the Old Original
Mode Of Travel.

R.m,,k. In Behalf OF tho Old Original
Mode Of Travel.
1t is to be hoped that the good old
custom Of p~edestrianism will not fall
into disuse. The bicycle rider has, per
hans, gained more than no has lost, but
he has lost something, and thnt BY no
means unimportant. 1t is n great eco
nomic gain to minimize time II DIS
lance to so considerable AL extent. Inc
enjoyment in this way OF the air and
exercise and The poetry and exhllaratlon
of easy and rapid motion is delightful,
but this sensuous satisfaction is likely
to be obtained at the expense Of mental
stimulus. The bicycle rider cannot tarry
to study the tint or texture OF b flow
ers or breathe their fragrance. He can
not listen to the songs Of birds or the
music of the brooks. His course 10 over
the worlds conventional tracks, and,
though nature speaks in countless
tongues, he hardly catches % much a.
the echo Of any Of them. The woodlands
and the byways, where lurk the choicest
manifestations Of beauty. he cannot
visit. On his nightly runs he sees only
the shining road before him rejecting
the light of the moon aud stars, but he
cannot lift his eyes to tho milky way or
view the still more glorious tenantry Of
the heavens.
1t does not seem . violent hypothesis
that this condition Of things must tend
to weaken those habits Of observation
upon which no much that II great in
art, science and literature depends. and
that this will be deplorably apparent in
the next generation unless some counter
interest can be developed. It lie q serious
question whether q White Of Selborne,
a Burroughs OF . Thoreau could have
been produced On an exclusive bicycle
basis. Their natural tendencies might
have overcome all obstacles Of environ
ment, but observation IL q plant that
starts early and grows by what it feeds
upon, and amid surroundings and infu-
ences like the present they might not so
easily have been inducted into those de-
liehtful and c%ongenial labors that have
80 sweetened the literature of our time.
The bicycle interest has come to stay
and to grow until some mor potent at
traction shall supplant Il. But to bal
ance it and prevent social one sidedness
and mental deterioration We need the
extension and multiplication Of such
organizations ~ the Appalachian club,
which will soon start upon an outing
not to annihilate space. but to become
acquainted with the wealth which occu-
pies it and in acquiring health and
strength; also to acquire information. It
is something to know the world Of men,
but it is infinitely more important to
know intimately the world Of nature,
for upon that knowledge rests all that
man ever has accomplished OF ever can
accomplish. The fastest scorcher may
get to the end Of LIES journey the SOON
est. but he will not arrive with an much
baggage az the moro moderate and OBJ
servant wayfaref. Boston TRANSCRIPT.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. G.-In the town
OF Abbeville this morning a white boy
killed a negro under peculiar
circumstances. The fact are as follows:
Matte Hillman, a colored woman of
middle age, owed Milledge Malone, a
13-year-old white boy, a quarter. Ma
Lone called at the woman's house with
a gun on his shoulder and demanded
payment. She said she had no money.
He replied if the quarter was o pro-
dlsced he would kill her. The woman,
without suspecting his earnestness, said
he you'd have to kill then. Malone in
stantly leveled his gun and Sent the
contents of both barrels through her
head.

brighten her. and hat the shooting was
accidental, but eye-witnesses say it was
a case of deliberate murder. The boy
