POLITICAL NOTES.
To Inspect the Police With There
New Uniforms on-Not at all
Popular-Trouble Ahead for the
Editor OF the Evening Journal
Col. DUPONT Will Hand Out the
Federal Patronage for Delaware
Our New Fusion Ticket.

We sound note OF warning to the Re-
publicans of our city not to attempt to set
up any slates at the coming city election
IL they hope to win. We have heard that
such actions are contemplated. and certain
local politicians have been busy at work
fixing one up during tho last few days.
The experiment was disastrous at the last
city election, and will be at this election If
these men insist upon having the men
nominated whether the people are willing
or not We should think one apple was
enough out Of this bag to convince these
men that the people won't be dictated to
and then expect them to turn to on cleo
tion day and vote the ticket that the bosses
have made. Let the people do the noini.
mating and tho whole ticket will be elected
with majority to spare.
The main thing is to get the full strength
of the Republican party to support the
ticket that may be nominated, In no other
way will it be successful. A word OF warn
ing in time may save u disastrous defeat
at the polls in June. 1t has been said that
a meeting of the First district Committees
of the two wings of the Republican party
was held on Monday evening, but nothing
came from it, as they adjourned without
arriving at any satisfactory conclusion
about the candidate until some evening,
next week. Give every candidate fair
show and may one win is our motto and
that alone will insure their triumphant
election
LOOKS LIKE COL. HENRY A. DUPONT.
From tho way the cat is jumping Mt
Washington 1t begins to look as If Colonel
Henry A. DUPONT would be the gentle
man who will have considerable to do with
dispensing the federal patronage in Della
ware under the Mckinley administration
Every Thing points that way at the present
writiny Without the Colonel's backing
applicants will have little or no chance of
receiving what they may seek at the hands
of President Mckinley.
The Colonel is well qualified in every
way to make recommendations and the
appointments could not have been placed
in better hands or one more competent to
make recommendations We hope this
matter has been settled at last and tho
anxious ones taken from dangerous posi-
tions in which they have found themselves
We are perfectly satisfied that the Colonel
should be the rofere5 hat shall make The
recommendations Tor the federal positions.
THE FUSION TICKET
Another Flu ion ticket has been handed
us Tor publication to-day which will un-
doubtedly be read with interest by all our
readers, Its make up should be carefully
scanned and then tho article cut OUT and
kept for future reference;

''The Hi stOryOf a Crime"

The above heading is the title
Of neatly gotten up booklet
printed at Fernandina to demon
strate by it's author that the Fer
nandina hose company, which con-
tested in the late firemen's tour
nament held at Jacksonville for
the state championship, had won
the prize and by unjust rulings
was robbed of It's victory. Hence
the title, 'The History of a
Crime" Mayor Elect G.. H.
Campbell of Ocala answers this
little booklet in the Times Union
and Citizen of Dec. 14th, and does
it SO effectively that after the
Fernandina boys "cool off under
their collar they will wonder
why they, "with a drop Of ink
made our Campbell think" For
be 1t remarked, Mr.. Campbell,
is the papa" of our efficient
fire department, and for the two
years he was it's chief, Ocala's
teams came home the victors
with first prize, and by his busi-
ness connection with the home de-
partment and visiting the state
associations and participating in
it's deliberations, and as we'll as
being thoroughly familiar with
the rules governing the state con-
tests, no man we know of is more
competent to show wherein the
Fernandiha team erred, that
having entered the race under
the rules it was compelled to abide
by them and the decision of the
judges, and if such rules worked
to their detriment, then why did
they not assist in changing them,
and not go off like whipped chill
dren and pout, saying, 'I'll not
play with you any more"

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but
there is really no trick about it.
Anybody can try it who has lame

or nervous troubles. We mean
he can cure himself right away

medicine tones up the whole Sys-
TEN, acts as stimulant to the
liver and kidneys, is blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. 1t cures
constipation, headache, faintlng
spells, sleeplessness and melan-

mild laxative, and restores the
system to it's natural vigor. Try
Electric Bltters and be convinced
that they are a miracle worker.

Wants Accountability.

John Wyckoff, one Of Citra's
successful fruit growers and busi-

office Tuesday to enroll his name
among the constellation Of SUBJ
scribers. Mr.. w. is running the
Citra moss factory and finds
ready sale for all his product
among the mattress factories of
New England.
This gentleman believes in do
ing business in business way
and says the people of his section
are getting very much dissatis-
fed to find by bitter experience
that our county business has been
allowed to run so losely, to cause
loss to the tax payer. He believes
in making every official strictly
accountable for his official acts.

Kings New Discovery. 10 other
remedy can take it's place in our

to experiment with other RENE

COLLINS ACQUITTED
Jury Finds Him Not Guilty OF the
Charge Of EmbeZzlement.

Tallahassee, Dec. 16.-The day
was consumed in the argument of
counsel. Mr. Collins, in his own
defense, concluded, in talk of
about an hour, reviewing the tes-
timony, dra wing his own inferen-
ceS therefrom, and claiming that
the intent to commit fraud had
not been proven against him. His
appeal to the jury was at times
eloquent and pathetic.
SHOULD | live q thousand
years." said he, "no more solemn
moment would confront me. Since
l was driven out of the state
treasury | have been bounded as
no man ever was, and abused by
the newspapers. My.edesire is to
die as | have lived-an honest
man. | am not talking for my
self, but for my wife and baby"
He frequently drew the atten-
ton Of the jurors to his home,
where his good wife was praying
for him, and where he had been
striving to make a new start in
life and forget the past.
The case was given to the jury
at 6 o'clock tonight.
