SAWS ID HAS a GRAFTER.

The Hon. r. Hudson Burr has, for a
fact, gotten the Hon. w. A. Bryan, a
member of the last Legislature, into an
awkward hole. The Pensacola Journals
account of it is too lengthy for this is
sue, and, wishing to hear from Mr..
Bryan first, we simply copy the COM
ments of the Live Oak Democrat for.
this time:
Hon. K. Hudson Burr, candidate for
Railroad Commissioner, says that he
has unmasked a CRATER, and he exposes
him to the public without mercy. w.
A. Bryan of Chipley, member of the
last Legislature from Washington
county and candidate for reelection,
being of a thrifty turn of mind, put
himself in communication with Mr..
Burr and informed him that for the
trifling stipendiary emolument of 500
to him paid he would take charge of
Mr.. Burr's candidacy in Washington
county, and, in order to impress Mr..
Burr that it was a good thing and he
had better hurry up, on the idea Of first
come, first served, he said in his letter,
write me at once, as others are want
ing the help you are asking for" Mr..
Burr "took the hide off" in his reply to
this, denouncing Rev. Bryan as a
CRATER who deserved exposure, and
gave the whole correspondence to the
Pensacola Journal for publication. Bro.
Bryan now has the floor, and it is up to
him to show that the Scripture which
tells us the laborer is worthy of his
hire fits his case and saves his bacon.

will address the voters upon public
issues. Mr.. Lamar is the only Florida
