FLORIDA'S POLITICAL STATUS.
Opposition to Several of the State
House Officers.

Tallahassee Fla, March 1.-THE cry
which swept over Florida last fall and a
part of the winter for a ''ciean sween"
in the administrative offices of the state
government at Tallahassee at the coming
Democratic State Nominating Convention
seems to have spent its force, and has an
parently been checked by counter de-
mand, now strongly rising, that state af-
fairs must not be unsettled by the retir-
ing of faithful and competent officials
just to please the purposes of politicians
or to advance the aspirations of ambitious
oflice-seekers.
The constitution requires that new in
cumbent for the Office of Governor shall
be chosen every four years. No man can
serve two successive terms. but there is
no legal limitations to the number of
terms any of the six cabinet officers NAV
serve, if elected. The Secretary of state
DR.. John L. Crawford, has held his office
continuously since January, 1881 Hon
William b. Lamar has been Attorney Cen
eral and Hon. Lucious B. Wombweu has
been Commissioner of Agriculture since
January, 1889; and Hon William N
Sheats is just completing his eighth year
as state superintendent of public instruc-
ton.
1t Is against the cabinet officers naned
that the demand has been made for a.
new deal Controller William III. Rev
nolds and State Treasurer James b. Whit
field are serving their first terms and
seem to have no opposition for re-elec-
ton. Indeed, no definite opponent has
been brought out against the venerable
Secretary of State, DR.. Crawford, who en-
tered public life in Florida ffty-three
years ago when he was elected to the
Legislature of 1S47. Public sentiment
seems strongly in favor of retaining DR.
Crawford in his present Office for the resi-
of his years, for he makes an excellent
official and he is very useful to the marty
in that he possesses the ability to keen
in the line of regularity the very scat
tered but sometimes troublesome faction
which formerly rallied around ex-JJnited
States Senator Wilkinson Call Dr. Craw-
ford was always a strong Call man. and
has great influence with the remnants
of that faction.
1t was generally believed in the state
for a considerable time that the advo-
Gates of new men and new methods
would really bring about changes in sew
eral important state Offices, and IL is GER
tain that their agitation caused closer
investigation into the records and acts of
the present officials than had before been

of popular sentiment seems to be running
so strongly in favor of the present incum-
bents, and in favor of exercising the
greatest caution in making changes, that
experienced politicians in abundance may
be found who predict the denomination
and reelection of all six of the present
cabinet officers
1t is pointed out by competent students
of the situation that the people are find
ing no fault with the records of either
Attorney General Lamar, Supt. Sheats or
Commissioner Wombwell, the three cabi-
net officers who have avowed opposition;
that these gentlemen are known widely
and favorably over the state and each
possesses such real political strength that
it will take an unusually strong and pop
ular man to beat either of them. No such
men, it is then urged, have been announc-
ed, and it is now too late to bring them
out-the contests have taken too definite
shape and the forces are too we'll lined
up. for serious talk Of new candidates a
this late day.
Those who Have OppOsition
Attorney General Lamar is opposed by
Hon. James T. Wills of Bradford county;
Supt. Sheats by Prof Tom F. McBeath
of Jacksonville, and Commissioner Womb
well by State Senator B. E. McLin of
Lake county. There is nothing to be said
against either Mr. Wills, Mr. McBeath
or Mr.. McLin, but probably much to be
said in their favor; yet it seems that
they are not generally known and ex-
cept in their own several sections of the
state the mention of their names and their
aspirations fails to arouse the sympathy
and enthusiasm so potent in politics, that
is manifested when one speaks Of Lamar,
Sheats or Wombwell. 1t should be said,
however that the fight for these three Of
fees is very spirited, and in neither case
is il anything like settled yet
The contest for the goVernorship has
drifted along for the last month without
material change in the situation. Messrs
Myers. Beggs, Mays and Jennings, the
four prominent aVowed candidates, are
now going about over the state, each do
ing quiet but earnest missionary work
and it daily becomes clearer that they are
going to have a mighty interesting fight
before the State Convention. Myers and
Beggs are we'll in the lead, but as the
two-thrd rule will prevail in making nom
nations, a wide field for speculation is
here offered for predictions as to how
the struggle will end.
The amusing feature to this guberna-
torial contest has been furnished by for
mer United States Senator Calls an

sire. But no citizen is allowed to use
that corridor or elevator who comes
there alone. No exception to this rule
is ever made.
Two of these elevators have steam
power, and four of them are run by cleo
tricity. The two elevators in the house
wing are of old style and they move
very slowly. The supreme court eleva-
tor and the three in the senate wing
have electric power, and they move very
swiftly. Many people individually use
the elevators a number of times each
day. Consequently the aggregate num-
Der carried amounts 10 several thou
sand daily. They are almost always
crowded when the senate and house
of representatives are in session.
It may Seem singular now to state
that the congress debated the subject
of elevators for ten years before MAX
ing appropriations for them, although
elevators were used in all large build
ings in the principal cities. In 1876,
when your correspondent first visited
this city, there was no elevator in the
marble building, but the subject of
making appropriations for that pur-
pose was under consideration. Year
after year efforts were made to secure

but new one is now in operation, and
it is probably the handsomest and the
best one in the great building
Very near the basement entrance of
the senate wing is the public elevator.
Every body is entitled to the privilege
of riding in this elevator. but the other
two in the senate wing are held exclu-
sively from the general public. One
of them bears a sign: Exclusively
for congress and supreme court" The
supreme court is mentioned on This
sign because members of the court
often use the senate entrance instead
of driving to the central part of the
capitol, where their exclusive elevator
is running. Senators use this elevator
because it is near the senate restau-
rant, and those dignified statesmen do
not want to be crowded and jostled
by the plain people.
The other exclusive elevator is on
the west side of the senate wing, and
il used exclusively by senator's and
newspaper men. 1t leads to the senate
press gallery, as well as to the main
floor of the senate and the senate gal
leries. Not only is this elevator ex-
elusive, but the corridor approaching it
is kept from public use. A Waterman

Gov. Aaron V. Brown, of Tennessee,
was Chesterfield for politeness and q
Talleyrand for wit. When he, a
much-admired widower, was paving
his addresses-at yet unavowed-to
an attractive young widow, he called
at her house one day and was ushered
into a room darkened to the degree
which the prevailing fashion of those
days declared to be elegant, and be-
fore the governor had familiarized
himself with the surrounding OBJ
Jects in the gloom the young widow
entered the room. With enthusiastic
devotion he advanced to meet her
hastily, not noticing a low stool di-
rectly in his pathway; unhappily, he
stumbled over it and pumped upon
his knees directly at the feet of the
object of his affections. Before she
could utter word of apology or SYM
pathy the adroit governor. Selling
her hand, exclaimed: Madam. a

inclination has long led me- The
formal declaration which followed
was of course successful, for such
ready gallantry could not be resisted.

yard where interments have recently
taken place now resembles French
cemetery. Glass shades OH graves
are un-English; the custom is Dor
rowed from the continent The vicar
is therefore obliged, in the best in
terests of the parish and the church
yard, to state that he cannot allow the
churchyard to be further disfigured
by the introduction of any more glass
shades, and hopes that the many who
have placed them over their relitives'
graves without full knowledge of
what they we're doing will kindly re-
move all glass shades which were
placed in the churchyard without his
consent, and would prefer the people
to remove them of their own free

CAPITOL ELEVATORS.
Their Introduction Brought About
After a Long Struggle.
Fat Men Even Could Not Agree ~
to Their Value-Ten Years Sem
ate and House Wrangled
Over the Matter.
Especial Washington letter.


THE pictures of the capitol build.
ing which show the east front
are published broadcast SO that
everybody in the land has a good idea
0fthe appearance of the palatial struc-
ture. There are three entrances to the
capitol, by broad staircases, but they
are seldom used.
The senate and house entrances have
beautiful white marble steps, but the
rotunda entrance is approached by old
red sandstone steps. Beneath these
stairways are wide driveways, and
they are used by senators and repre-
sentatives because there are basement
entrances which lead to elevators.
Therefore the beautiful stairways are
seldom used. Without them, however,
tie symmetry of the building would
be destroyed.
Strangers in Washington usually
mount the stairs from the outside, for
they would never think of going
through the dark driveways beneath.
Readers of this paper, when they come
to the national capital, will know that
it is better and easier to go in beneath
the stairs where they will find broad
doors entering wide halls. At each
door capitol policeman will be found,
and also authorized guides, who will
snow the way to the elevators, SO that
they may go to the main floor without
the toll and fatigue of stair climbing;
for it is tiresome, particularly to la
dies, to go upstairs, even at home. If
11f -
stairs they would never have been in
vented.
There are six elevators in the capt.
toll; two in the house wing, one in the
rotunda and three in the senate wing.
Three of the elevators are set aside for
the exclusive use of dignitaries, and
three are for all people to use. The
two elevators in the house wing are
open to all corners. This is because
the house is composed of direct rep
resentatives of the people, and it would
not be wise for them to be exclusive.
Some of their people might come on
here and be annoyed or angry if they
should find anything aristocratic at
that end of the capitol.
One of. the house elevators leads to
the house floor entrance by the speak
cr's room, and the other one goes to
the entrance of the press gallery. Both
OF them go up to the public galleries.
The former is used by a majority of
the representatives, but nobody is ever
excluded who wants to ride in either
one Of them.
The elevator in the rotunda is re-
for -
court and for attorneys practicing be-
fore that court. 1t is also used by en-
ployes of the court. This elevator was
burned out last summer, when a fire
broke out in the rotunda basement,

appropriations for this purpose, but
they were thwarted by the alleged
economists" the principal objector
being William S. Holman, of Indiana,
who was called 1.-The watchdog of the
treasury" At that time Mr.. Holman
was chairman of the house committee
on appropriations, and he possessed
power sufficient to block all appropria.
tions which did not meet with his ap-
proval. He declared that representa-
tives who were too lazy to walk up
stairs ought not to be in congress-" and
he would mot consent to have the peo-
pies money wasted in that manner"
However, just about 20 years ago,
when another man had the chairman
ship of the committee on appropria-
tions. an agreement was reached where
by appropriations were made for two
elevators; one for the senate and one
for the house of representatives. That
was the beginning. Four others have
since been added, and it is expected that
two more will be added during the pres
ent year, one for the senate and one for
the house of representatives. Nobody
now objects, because everybody con-
cedes that elevators are public neces-
sity, and that two more will be required
for the accommodation of the general
public.
In the Fortysixth congress when the
first appropriation were made and in
several preceding congresses, there
were two fat men in congress who took
opposite sides of the question of APP
preparations for elevators. Gustave
Schleicher, of Texas, was tall man and
very large. He advocated elevators be.
cause it was SO hard for him to climb
the long stairways. Philetus Sawyer
was senator from Wisconsin. He was
not very tall, but he was so fat that he
fairly waddled when he walked. He
said that he would rather climb the
stairs for exercise than to vote an ap-
preparation for his own convenience.
Both of these gentlemen were very pop
ular, and both of them had adherents,
and the debate about elevators went on
as though the fate of the nation depend
ed upon the settlement of the question.
Afer elevators were placed in the cap
itol, however, Senator Sawyer admitted
that they were fine modern conven-
fences, and he gave up the exercise of
climbing the stairs.
Gustave Schleicher, of Texas, was
born in Germany and spoke with pro-
nounced foreign accent. One of his
strongest supporters was Robert Klotz,
a Pennsylvania Dutchman, who spoke
excellent English. Schleicher did most
of his work by moving about among
the members talking privately to them
in favor of elevators, but Klotz made
number of telling speeches in favor of
the project.
1t is important to particularly re-
member that when you enter the
house wing of the capitol you are at
liberty to take either one of the ele-
,ators there. But when you enter the
senate wing you should ask the police
man or guide to direct you to the pub
lie elevator. and thus avoid the en-
barrassment of going to one of the ex-
elusive elevators and being told that
you cannot use it. Some American cit
liens don't like that sort of thing: but
the writer merely sets forth the exist.
ing facts, without comment.
