The sympathies of all good people go
out 10 the temperance people Ct Marion
county on account Of their failure to
carry the county dry" They made

"Is II fact that the WALES interests
are putting up the dough for The True
Democrat? Don't answer too quick,
and don't say anything rash. Lake
City Index
We hesitated about answering the
above at all, but concluded to say just
this: The lying inuendo Is entirely false,
and the editor Of the Index knew that
1t was when he concocted IL.
"7hey do say" that the new edition
of the Governors Message now in press
IL TO be neat and clean, that II is TO be
100 copies and that the price is to be
$500 Now, who Is TO pay that 5000?
That's the thing the Taxpayers Of
Florida have right TO know, and shall
know! There are yet copies Of that
first edition on hand; they belong to the
people who have paid for them, and the
people have a right TO them If they wish
them, And they are "bound in boards"

President McCurdy, Of the New York
Mutual Life Insurance Company, after
vainly endeavoring to neutraize the in
dignation with which he il regarded by
proposing 20 have his salary reduced TO
S75, 1000, has had the good sense to re-
sign his office In time TO avoid being
kicked out Of II. His son, the general
manager, and son.in-law, the general
agent, have also resigned These three,
and their associates in crime, have
doubtless concluded that their days of
graft are over-fOr the present.

To those one or two Florida editors
who have recently reminded us Of the
fact that, 1.-THE mill will never grind
again with the water that has passed. "
we reply THAT the mills Of the Gods
grind slowly, but theyRrind exceedingly
fine" That some day in the not distant
future those who have and are still doing
wrong in public places will get the grist
the mills Of justice turn out for their
kind Just be patient, and wait yet
little while, the truth will all come out
at the thrashing.
Floridians, Il number Of times this
year, have noted the influence Of "a
man out Of Office" When Governor
Odoll and Mr. Hartman, on the stand
contradicted Mr. Hydes statement that
the Equitable parasitic corporations had
been practically blnckmailcd 10y them
into paying $75, 600 on Odcll's losses in
his shipbuilding bond deal, under threats
that that the Legislature would repeal
their charter, Mr.. Hyde neatly rctortcd:
