It's like the Metropolis predicted.
Pensacola went democratic in the mt
nicipal election last Tuesday by large
majority, all OF the regular ticket be-
ing elected, and leaving the indepen-
dents far in the rear. What more
could they expect when lining up
against the viii of the majority OF the
people?

When it comes to holding a sensa-
tional city election Pensacola puts in
the shade any city. town or hamlet in
the state. Three brass bands paraded
the streets of the city the night before
the election and the populace was out
in full force. But what difference
when the votes were counted.

Pensacola's mayoralty campaign
will end to-day with the election OF
either Bliss or Shine. 1t has been
waged with relentless vigor and with
the usual accompaniment Of more or
less mudslinging. The opponents OF
Mr.. Bliss, who was nominated In the
white primary, have gone back twenty
or thirty years to show that while ne
was in Utah he was Mormon. etc,
etc.; the same being met with an en-
phatic denial Because of Mr.. Shines
support by four or five hundred ne
groes. his political enemies alege that
his election would mean the defeat OF
white supremacy, ETC., ad infinitum.
The local papers have been more or
less bitter in their campaign meth
DDS, wherein they have made the mis-
take of many another newspaper that
has realized that politics IS a very
poor and Improbable game to play too
strenuously. For the average politi
clan is usually a self-seeking specimen
of the genus homo who uses his favor.
tie newspaper, for his own selfish pur'
poses. after which he generally makes
play for the other side, il he has been
successful. and If he goes down In
defeat he speedily ,forgets the hundreds
of dollars of campaign advertising de
voted to him by the jealous editor.
Whether Bliss or Shine Is elected
to-day, Pensacola viii move along in
the same even tenor of her way, and
the News and The Journal in mo
fment of mediation, will doubtless come
to the conclusion that had they devot
ed one-tenth as much time to legiti
mate business as they have to boosting
some fellow into a soft job. their bank
accounts would be in finer shape. and
they would have fewer fellows carry
/ ing hammers to use on them at the
first opportunity.
