generally accepted in Florida that the / 5.
Senatorial race is between Senator Talia-
ferro and John Stockton. The former will
have the best wishes of many friends in
this city for his reelection. The Metropolis
says:
Senator Taliaferro goes before the Demo
cratic voters for reelection with good
record. He has proven a faithful official
and but for certain circumstances he would
not have any opposition in the coming cam
paign. He is allied with what is known as
the corporation crowd. Senator Taliaferro
has so far shown no inclination to be friend
ly to the trusts and has been in entire har-
mony with the Democratic platform. His
record has caused him to have strong fol
lowing all over Florida.
