enough to give it a rest. He refused,
and again began plying the whip.
Finally they took the driver from the
seat, unhitched the colt, hitched Levine
in it's place, n forced him to help the
other horse to haul the load home.
Levine baked at first, but the whip in
duced him to pull. He was nearly dead

Called His Bluff.

Gov. w. S. Jennings, who made o
big ''bluff" at inviting Senator Talia-
ferro to joint discussion in the cam
paign, and who issued an "open let
ter" filled with statements which
misrepresented the senator's atti-
tude on public questions, has been
called. The senator has agreed to
meet his accusor in joint debate.
The sympathy of the, people is with
Senator Taliaferro. He has been at
tackled and wilfully misrepresented
by man whose only excuse is a de-
sire to succeed to the senatorship.
In manly, Observation-Disclosures
der manner, Senator Taliaferro, in
long letter in Mondays Times Union,
takes up in the order of their state
ment the charges preferred by the
governor and shows wherein the
latter has deliberately falsified the
record and misrepresented his off,
cial attitude and votes. And the
senator gives section and page of the
record. Senator Taliaferro con-
cludes his letter as follows:
II have gone at some length into
these matters in order that the peO-
pie of Florida may judge as to
whether or not have been true and
loyal to the principles of the great
Democratic party in which they
have vital interest. 1 have stated
repeatedly that | stand before them
upon my record. In their intelli-
gence, in their sound judgement, in
their correct sense of justice | have
an abiding faith. | leave to them to
| Judge as between you and me. l
have accorded fair treatment to you
and to all my opponents, and, while
inviting the closest possible scrutiny
into my record, ask at least, that
that record be not misquoted, that
my votes be not misstated, and that
the record, all in all, from the be-
ginning of my service in the senate
to the present day, be fairly read.
Ny duties here render 1t impOSsi-
BILE now for me to name dates and
places for the discussion of political
questions / hope, however, to be in
Florida in a few days, and you will
find me ready and willing and pre-
pared to defend my record whenever
wherever, however, and by whomso-
ever assailed."
