De IS VII KNowN LIE

The Florida Sun OF the 18th inst
announces that Hon. Chas. H. Fildes
for many years a resident OF this city
will take the lecture platform, deliver
ing an address upon the Florida Poll
tician. There is perhaps no person in
Florida better qualified to handle this
subject, since Col. Fildes has "been
there himself" and can speak from
personal experience. He is a good
orator and pleasing speaker, and his
efforts will no doubt meet with
approval
Tie Sun IN part says
Colonel Fildes has prepared lecture
on The Florida Politician, and all who
know the Jacksonville lawyers ability
for ready and brilliant platform speech
will be anxious upon this announce
ment TO hear his delivery on the breed
OF politician peculiar to Florida.
When Colonel Fildes was seen in
regard to the rumor that he intended
taking the platform shortly he verified
the report, saying;
at isa fact that ] have prepared
such lecture and that propose de-
liverlng It AZ several places in Florida
at an early date"
Continuing Colonel Fildes said "0i
course, the lecture will be copyrighted
before delivery. Otherwise, IL would
become public property after my frat
appearance with IT, My purpose IN
writing II out In full was to get an
accurate idea Of rs compass. II en-
braces something over $1,000 words,
which will furnish fuel for a harangue
OF at least two hours length. These
reasons alone impelled mo to reduce il
TO writing. II Is the frat speech, with
two exceptions, that have ever writ
ten. / prefer TO speak as the spirit
moves me-"
what viii be the object OF your
lecturer" asked the scribe.
''The main object will be the raising |
OF money for the poor, and expect, OF
course, to be large beneficiary"
'Well, since you won't allow mo TO |
print extracts from your lecture,
would you object TO giving a general
optlineg"
II could not give "a outline OF the
lecture within the scope Of an inter-
view. but will let you see few 81
the topics that the lecture will em-
brace" and with this observation Mr.,
Fildes handed the reporter a slip con-
tanning some OF the sub.headlngs that
he will discuss. They are as follows

"Thc complete and perfect lecture,
in my opinion, +" continued Mr., Fildes,
fought TO contain sentiment, logic and
humor skiltully blended Humor Is

varied az the lines OF the rainbow and

But logic Is regarded as au almost tan.
