COURAGE AND PLUCK.
ocsIs Cited as an Exsmpls sno -
Highly ExtolIed.

The bright and accomplished locai
editor of the Tallahassee Capitol III
the issue of that paper of July 10Th
cites Ocala as an example of push
pluck and enterprise, and pays our
city the following high compliment
Take Ocala for example, a town oil
about six thousand inhabitants.
No place in the state has had TO
combat with more blighting calaml-
ties than Ocala. Situated in the
midst of the Orrnge region, the freeze
that came. a disaster to the entire
state, was a crushing blow to Ocala
for it swept away the chief industries
of that section.
The Cuban cigar makers at Marti
City, a suburb, next became dissatls-
fed. and folded their tents like the
Arabs and as silently stole away,
leaving an absolutely deserted village
which had before had a population OF
about fifteen hundred, and meant
yearly hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to Ocala. After this the two
banks failed and Ocala was consider
ed "as dead as a herring"
But with courage and pluck, that is
almost without parallel, her citizens
set to work to rehabilitate her credit
and standing and today there is not
in Florida an inland city more pros
porous or progressive than Ocala.
But this condition has not come
about by chance, but from the united
and untiring efforts of her citizens,
and what one town has done others
can do, and it would be worth the
effort.
This is not to be considered criti-
cism of any one, but is::the expression
of an earnest desire to awaken Talla-
hassee to her opportunities. The en-
tire state is prosperous and progress
sive. Why should not Tallahassee
become, instead of quaint, beautiful
old fashioned town, a prosperous,
city?

office department is now a great
political machine presided over by a
man skilled in political maneuvers,
and the wishes of the people in the
various communities are entirely
ignored. Why should a federal adj
ministratiOn ignore the wishes of the
people whom the postmaster is ex-
pected to serve? If a system can be
devised whereby the federal govern
ment will still retain the power of
appointment and the power of re-
moval and yet be restricted in APP
pOintment to persons named by the
local community, step in advance
will have been taken. The right of
local self-gOvernment can thus be
indicated and the use of the post
Office department for the benefit of
congressman or for the benefit of the
administration prevented. Such a
change would also make it impossible
for a federal administration to force
cOlored postmasters upon white COM
munities for political purposes. Is
there any good reason why the presi-
dent in making appointments should
not consult the convenience and the
will of the people who patrOnize the
pOstoffice?

A DEMOCRATIC FORECAST.
Synopsis of Some Close Figuring by Paper
Whose Symputhies are With Purker

The washington correspondent OF
the New York Evening Post has been
figuring on election possibilities. He
recognizes the fact that what is
known as the Parker telegram" has
shifted the battle-ground toward the
east, and making New York doubt
full state has strengthened the hopes
of the democrats. He thinks that
West Virginia, torn by republican
dissentions, and hOnOred by the NOM
nation of Mr.. Davis for vice presi-
dent. is at least doubtful, and, from
his standpoint, democratic. The race
question is also expected to cut some
figure in West Virginia, while in Ma
ryland it will be a matter of so much
Importance as to make that state
probably democratic.
With the thirteen solid southern
states to start with, casting Isl cleo
toral votes, and Maryland and West
Virginia added to them, Parker will
have 166 of the 476 members of the
electoral college. Of the total cleo
toral vote, 239 will be necessary to
elect. If the democrats were to get
OBS, that would leave the same num-
Der TO the republicans and throw the
election into the house, where the
majority would settle it in
Mr.. Roosevelt's favor.
1t will be necessary, therefore, for
the democrats to get seventy-three
more votes than even so good a dem
ocratic advocate as the Post will VEN
ture to count as reasonably certain.
that thirty-nine of them
are to be found from New York, and
that thirty-fOur more must come from
some other source, the correspondent
of the Post makes up different posi-
BILE groups, as follows:
Group number one-New Jersey u,
Delaware 3, Nevada 8, Montana 8,
Indiana Is; making Sc, two more than

900 for the republican candidate for
governor, and it will require quite an
overturning of sentiment in that state
to give it to the democrats. The cor
respondent of the Post makes an eff
fort, therefore, to figure out the nee
essary number of votes without In
diana or Connecticut, as follows:
Group number five-New Jersey l.,
Delaware 3, California 10, Colorado
1, Nevada 3, Montana 3; total, SO
The Post correspondent comedies
that California is by no means prob
able because of the canal proposition
and che interest of the people of Cali
fOrnia in oriental trade, particularly
the Philippines. Colorado has been
regarded as safely republican until
some doubt arose because of the
reign of Iawlessness in the mining
districts. Just how that is going to
affect the result cannot yet be intel
ligently calculated. The republican
majority in 1902, on the state ticket,
was 1000. The three-vote states of
Montana, Nevada, Idaho and Utah,
all republican except Nevada, are
counted in this group. They may
but it is hardly probable that they will
forsake Ephraim and flock to the
Parker standard.
Some democrats are sanguine to
include Illinois among the possibili-
ties. Illinois is so generally republi-
can, and the democratic forces are
so badly torn up as result of the
Hearst campaign, that there is no
reason to expect any serious falling
off in the republican vote in that
state.
Any hopes based upon democratic .
success for the presidential ticket in
are probably doomed to
There is no doubt /

close observers of the situation in
hat state that a satisfactory set of
conditions will finally be arranged so
rs not to affect the republican vote
here.
The correspondent of the Post ends
lis communication as follows:
ga study of these groupings shows
hat the democrats must put their
pest foot forward if they are to stand
my chance of winning. 1t is only
~ lifting the campaign to a high
,lane, appealing to the independent
-ote of the country, that they can
lope to overcome the odds against
hem at the start"
The Post expects that the same
lass of people who supported Mr..
Cleveland in 1902 will now line up,
welve years later, for Parker. I'm
new alignments are to be
in the present situation,
tut, as the correspondent of the Post
avs with respect to the democratic
ause, ''its success to-day depends
Ipon thorough and earnest work,

tored democracy means a clean and
national administration"
