Browne is a Candidate.

Hon. Jefferson b. Browne, one OF
/ the most distinguished citizens of Key
West, is an sspirsnt for railroad COM
, missioner. The gentleman is well
/ known and universally admired all
over the state, and it will afford south
/ Florida, and especially Tampa, un-
alleged pleasure to give him loyal
aud cordial support.
Ii may not be out of plSce for the
Tribune TO mention that Key West
has been signally neglected in the dis
tribution of state offices, 1t has never
been honored with the nomination of
governor, United States senator,
congressman, justice of the supreme
court or cabinet officer, and 1t is
nothing more than right and justice
that Mr.. Browne should be honored
at this time.
Mr.. Browne has always resided at
Key West, where there is no railroad,
and if elected, he will go upon the
board without any personal grew
ances against the railroads to settle or
any favOrs to return.
He is pre-eminently qualified for
the position, and the Tribune hopes !
South Florida wilt rally to his sup
port.
