raise posse to 90 to the tavern ano
capture the outlaws. The sheriff
wanted to make sure of his men before
he raised his posse and sent spy to
the tavern to discover how the OUT
laws were fixed for defending them

The SPY, whose name was Denton,
went to the tavern. He was small
man, utterly fearless, and had a shy,
hesitating manner that was calculated

mounted and armed, Denton reached
the tavern late in the afternoon, and
hitching his horse in clump OF trees
that surrounds the place he entered
the barroom. He refused all INVITA-
tions to drink, and told the landlord
that he was a dealer in mules and had
started south to collect debt, but
would remain at the tavern until
friend he was expecting arrived.
Suddenly from door behind the bar
emerged man. He was of medium
size, with dark, feshless face, keen,
black eyes and hair cut short. He
beckoned to a well dressed man in the
room and the two went out together.

gang was at the tavern and that If he
was suspected his life would pay the
forfeit. He determined to slip away

posse.
About O'Clock at night Denton
announced his intention of retiring. A

his pistols he put out the light and

await developments.
About midnight he heard slight
noise and the board was pushed to one

Denton found his posse and led then
to the tavern. When they arrived the
place was deserted, the robbers having
been warned by the dummy Denton

Analysing the GuhernatoriaI Vote,

The fact that Mr.. Broward re-
celved a few more votes in the State
at large than were cast for Mr.. Da-
Wit pitiful plurality of 227 in a
vote OF A, l4l, or about onehalf of
one per cent--has been seized upon
by Mr.. Broward's supporters as the
leading--and apparently the only
argument in favor Of his nomination
in the second primary. A brief ex.
animation in the official returns will
discover the real value Of such an
argument.
Broward's vote in the entire State
was Il very small fraction over so
per cent, Of the entire vote, while
Davis's vote was within quite as
small a fraction Of 294 per cent. of
the whole--a difference in Broward's
favor Of about one-half OF one per
cent! Broward "leads, to DO sure,
but scarcely enough to justify very
much of the Dragging his friends are
doing in his behalf,
Broward got small majorities in
FIVE small counties, Wig; Calhoun,
Lafayette, Liberty, Monroe and Tay.
lor, Davis got large majorities in
five big counties, viz: Dade, Duval ,
Putnam, 81. Johns and Volusia.
The sum Of Rroward's maiorities
was PAT; the sum of Davis MAORI
ties was 855!
There's ''lead" for you'll
Broward secured pluralities over
DAVIS in "a counties, Davis got plu-
ralities over Broward in 20 counties,
and in one the vote was a tie be-
tween them. These four little plu-
rslities in excess Of the number CIV
en- to Davis constitute about all that
b owsri's friends can really afford
to boast Of.
But after all, the real test Of st.
ness as between the two candidates,
must b. found in the votes cast in
their respective counties and pre-
ciucts, and the official returns show
Conclusively how each is regarded by
his friends, neighbOrs and fel ow
citizens where be is best known, in
his own home.

AT Davis HOME.


Compare the foregoing with the
record of the ballots in Mr.. Davis
home county.
The total vote of Putnam was 957,
Of which Davis received 795, more
than 80 per cent of the total county
vote and SIG more than majority (;
while in the entire county Blows d
got only IS votes. Davis carried
every one Of the % precincts by
large majorities, receiving eUeFY
rate cast for Governor in six Of the
precincts, including his owr, while
Broward got votes in only 10 pre-
cincts.
The inevitable deduction from the
foregoing is, that Mr.. Broward has
received his largest vote in these To-
cali lea In the State where be is least
