C ngenltal liar knows that he has beeu
not only temperate but a total sbstainel
from alcohol in any shape. Yet within

as to say that within the past two years
he saw sam Wienges drunk. His name

Saturday Morning.

Ovation,

Pursuant TO previous announcements in

day morning, beginning some minutes
after TO O'Clock. The other candidates
for Senate and Governor were invited to
be present and present their claims but
none of them were present, so Stockton
and Broward had it all to themselves, and
spoke little more than an hour each.
Attorney w. S, Broome acted as master
Of ceremonies, and his introduction Of the
speakers was preceded by beautiful and
appropriate addresses which had the eff
feet Of intensifying the peoples desire to
hear the speakers,
The crowd was the largest that has APP
peared here to hear any other forenoon
speakers during the campaign, and the
beauty Of it was that nearly all present
we're registered voters and representative
citizens from various sections of the
county.
The few Taliaferro and Davis men who
we're present we're evidently disappointed
because the speakers did not abuse their
opponents Even when Mr.. Stockton
was showing up Joe Stripping whom the
Taliaferro forces are quoting against
Stockton aud Bars, he was cool and
pleasant He made one of the most bus
iness.like speeches vet delivered in thi'
city, and showed that he was himsel

A REMARKABLE MAN.
Hon. c. n. Browns Election Conceded
by a Well Known Politician

A we'll known politician says that never
in the history of Florida has there been
such a change in public sentiment as in
the gubernatorial race. When he FIRST
announced Hon. c. NJ. Brown was not
considered in the race, but his excellent
record, together with his spotless private
character have combined to turn public
sentiment in his favor and that although
he is under obligations to one OF the 9TH
err candidates aud must vote for him, he
considers his vote thrown away, for he
saws there is small doubt but that c. NJ,
Brown will be nominated on May TO- To
quote his own words, "The people all
over the State have risen up to support
this great and good Democrat, this grand
old soldier, who is today fighting for the
peoples rights as bravely as he did from
81 to '6s. c. NJ. Brown, in my opinion,
and in the opinion of many observing
men. will sweep the State on the 10 OF
MAY. and be nominated by the largest
popular vote ever given candidate for
governor IN the history OF the State.
Nothing can be said against Mr.. Brown,
and although his opponents have searched
his record from beginning to end they
can find nothing that does not reflect
credit on his craftsmanship"

The Judson rIeetlng.

We are Informed by persons who were
at the political speaking last week, that
II was one Of the best meetings the
county candidates have yet had.
There were present at the meeting
many candidates, aud more than five
hundred gentlemen and ladies. One
report says tina, there were FIVE hundred
voters present, while another puts the
voting strength of the crowd at about
three hundred souls.
We understand that Maj, John W.
Tenoh was the only legislative candidate
and that he made one OF the
best speeches Of his life, and was cheered
by the crowd, but Il Is
generally conceded that the other legis-
lative candidates were still hunting" to
good advantage In other parts.
