In his address at the annual dinner of the Board

New-York is the imperial city OF the Western

ment Ii is fifty minutes by rail from Wall Street
at the south end of Manhattan Island, and thirty
minutes from Its shopping districts and places OF

through which its population daily comes and goes
to and from the metropolis.
You reach Yonkers, and other place In
the vicinity of New-YoTk. and avoid ferries, wit h
their aggravating detentions by fog and storm and

No Good to Tax-payers.

We have read the report of the
speech delivered in Tampa recently
by the Hon. Frank Clark, on the
subject of moving the Capital Of
Florida to Jacksonville. We have
calmly considered every argument
he makes as to why this removal
should be accomplished, yet we fail
to discover one single reason for the
tax-paying citizens going in dept to
the tune of, from one to four million
dollars, to crafty this whim. Mr..
Clark forgets that a Capitolis not for
show, but as place where laws are
made. Is there anything wrong with
the laws of Florida Would they be
any better if made in a marble pal
ace? He says: "Place the Capital in
Jacksonville, where the visitor, as he
enters the State may get an inviting
idea of the riches and attractions that
lie beyond" Will the visitors ideas
one way or the other, benefit the
masses who pay the taxes2 We
think not.-Quincy Herald. -.

BRYAN SURE To WIN
So Says Hon. .jnO. 81 Beard
Who has been Speaking
In The WESTERN STATES,
Judge J. r. ChaIIen of Jacksonville
Also Certain of Bryan'S Election.

Hon. JnO. S. Beard, a! native of
Tallahassee, who some YEARS since
moved to Pensacola, and who is a
nominee on the Democratic ticket
for Florida Presidential ElectOr, has
recently returned. to his home in
Pensacola, from a tour in Ohio and
Illinois where he has been making
speeches with national catnpaigners.
Mr.. Beard returns enthusiastic in the
belief that Bryan will be elected.
We note also that Judge J.. X.
Challen, of Jacksonville, lis also Ger
tain that Bryan will be elected.
Judge Challen was at bne time a
Florida State Senator from DuYal
county. lie has been a;Republican
all his life and has recent " returned
from a trip through sew ral OF the
Middle Western States. From what
he saw on that trip he is convinced
that Bryan willi win in
the coming election. He says:
81 was in Illinois, Indiana, MichI-
gan and Wisconsin, besides my own
State. Everyw here, | found strong
Bryan sentiment among j. number Of
hitherto Republicans AMI my obser-
walton was that the DEM cratic party
is absolutely unit. In Ohio, some of
the strongest friends Gf President
Mckinley are even fearful that he
will lose his own StatG and many
Republicans who supported him in
1896 are opposed to his Philippine
policy, and, IN the great crisis that his
policy has precipltated, they are apt
to stand by their convictions. They
regard it as a serious. proposition,
where party utilization, should be at
least temporarily laid aside, for the
purpose OfpreserVing the integrity of
our free institutions. =.
81 found this same sentiment in
the other States in what is generally
regarded the storm center In all
of these Central Western States, of
course there Is a big.sefierrlanvote
Heretofore the vote has been largely
divided, with a strong Republican
element. l find that this vote is al
most Solidly opposed TO McKinley's
administration. These people are
! desperately in earnest: and to those
not acquainted with tier strong OPP
! position to militaryism, the result of
the German vote, in November, will
be surprise.

stitution for amending it, is a safe
and ample one, guarding against nm
called-for action and precipitate
changes, (nOtably shown in the re-
moVal proceedings of the last legis-
leture) yet veSting the legislature
with sufficient power to make needed
amendments, to be approved by a
majority vote of the people. This
method renders a Constitutional
Convention an unnecessary resort,
as every change the people want can
be had, if the Legislators duly perform
their duty. The very fact, that, not
content with this, two schemes are
put forth to do what. either can do
without the other, and that the
greatly enlarged expense involved
necessitating further heavy taxation,
seems utterly dIsregarded by the
promoters, condemns both, as origi-
mating in a spirit thoughtIess of the
interests of the taxpayers of the
State. l hope enough voters will be
forthcoming at the primaries, to show
their disapproval, and prevent unnec,
essary taxation for unnecessary pur-
poses.
In dealing with the Constitution
two rules should govern at all times

Constitutional Convention.

The last Democratic State Con-
ventiOn ordered that the primary
election, to be held on November q,
should decide among other things
whether or not we should have a
Constitutional Convention. This
question is one that deserves very Sc
rious consideration. The Conven-
ton made it a party issue, but We
learn of very little that is being said
about it. What will be the voice of
Santa Rosa's Democracy.-MiltOn
Index.
Why treat it with the same con-
sideration you. do with the Capital
removal. Kill them SO dead that
they will not be resurrected until the
people Of the State = are better able
and the necessity greater than now
exists. Those two propositions, that
of Capital removal and COnstitu-
tional Convention, are TWINS, pre-
maturely conceived and brought
forth before their time and out of
season. They are entitled, however,
to a decent burial on the sixth of
November. We will vote on them
out of respect to the honorable body
of gentlemen, composing our State
convention: We appreciate the great
sacrifice they made in the interest of
the State, and the noble work they
performed, in nominating and bring
ing before the people such noble men
TO fill the various State offices, while
we feel, that they made mistake in
bringing and forcing two measures
before the people at an unpropitious
time; a time when the people were
unprepared to decide as to then
expediency. The people of Florida
want to do what is right, ready tc
bear any legitimate and necessary
burdens. Ole thing they do know
that is that they are paying as much
taxes as they can bear. Now to ado
the enormous burden of removal o.
Capital and +he holding of COnsti
tutiOnal Convention is an unjust de-
mand and should, and in the writers
candid opinion will, be voted down
In the name of common sense, What
do we want with a constitutional
Convention? Is it at all likely that
nObler or ADLER set of patriotic gen
tlemen could be chosen as delegates
to a Constitutional Convention il
this our day than composed the Con
vention in 1885? We doubt. it very
much. is it at all likely, that a bet
ter organic law would be formed
than the one we are now living un
der? We doubt it very much.
Our legislatures amend our Con
stitution, through the people at tn
polls, whenever the time and expe
diency demand it, and at compare
lively no cost, hence what is tn
need of convention at a cost O
$4,000 or 100000? Let us vote
down. Think for a moment O

laid upon the devoted necks @
the taxpayers of the candldat

Vote Against Il.

Every Democrat in Florida should
be careful to not only vote against
Capital removal, but to also register
ballot against the calling Of a Con-
stitutional Convention. The present
State Constitution, like the present
Capital, is good enough for the peo-
pie of Florida. A Constitutional
Convention would cost the taxpayers
thousands of dollars, when there Is no
demand and no occasion for it. If
there is anything wrong with the
present Constitution, the defect can
be remedied by an amendment with
out one cent expense to the tax-pay-
ers. The following. from the Mon
ticello Constitution on this subject is
timely and worthy of careful perusal:
"The question of calling for Con-
stitutional Convention is to be sub
mitted to the people of Florida in the
coming State primary. The princi-
pal object of those who had such q
provision inserted in the platform
was and is to get another opportunity
to move the State Capital, in case ting
people vote against Capital removal
in the primary. We believe the peoI
pie of the State will vote againsI
calling a Constitutional Convention!
for there is absolutely no need to
another Convention. 1t would be |
useless piece of extravaganza. |
"But the fact that those favOrlnEE
