r1vers at Crescent City.

The Crescent City News, a strong
advocate for removing the State
Capital to Jacksonville, had the fol-
lowing to say of Hon. Fred. T. Ny
ers' speech in that city:
''It is a matter of regret that the
weather was so inclement on Friday
night as to prevent a large number
of our people from hearing Senator
Myers ingenious and powerful de-
Tense of Tallahassee's claim to con
tinue as the seat of State govern
ment. Mr.. Myers is most pleasing
speaker, one who excels In clearnesS
of argument rather than in studied
flights of rhetoric. His style is that
of the analytically legal which ap-
pealS to mems reason rather than
mere persuasive eloquence that ap
peals to passions and prejudice, yet
that he could excel in the latter as
we'll as the former style, was evi-
denced by the manner in which he
repeated Frank Clark's DeLand perO
alton about the great dome of the
Capitol catching the first rays of the
morning sun.
e'Mr. Myers recited the history o.
removal efforts from 1877 to th'
present time and sought to prove by
the failure of legislative action ON th'
subject that there was no partleula
demand for the removal on the par
of the people. He maintained tina
the present efforts upon the part o
certain Jacksonville politicians wa
chiefly to secure power for a lOca
Democratic faction of that city, VIII,
paraded their efforts to secure tn
Capital in order to curry favor wit
the people. Mr.. Myers read fror
Jacksonville papers, and from tn
utterances of its spellbinders to prov
that their efforts were more in tn
interests of political tricksters tha
from any desire to benefit the State
In fact he sought to convict them Ou
of the words of their own mouth
The news regrets that it has not tn
space to give a full report of MI
Myers two hours speech, whic
held the closest attention of his at

"There is no doubt that his speec
will result in an increase of votes fO

Resolutions of Respect.

Whereas, 1t has pleased the All

loved fellow-member, Mr.. Arie DOnk

Society, do hereby express our high
and earnest appreciation of this no.
BILE young life, now dissolved from

that his walk among us was an in
spiration for the pure, upright and
sincere; that he was an honest and
faithful member of this society, rep
resented it in public debate and
filled every Office within the right of
It's members; that our associations
with him both in the society and
among our fellow students upon
every occasion was most happy and
cOngenial; that his death came as a
blow to each of US for he was our
fellow-student and our friend; that
his vacant chair in the society re-
minds us of the helplessness of hu.
man hands in that the grim monster
laid claims to and seized this young
life, once blooming with health, In
spired with ambition and so hopeful
of promise.
