effect. Wall Street people sold "A little. Liver

VETS WILL Try FOR ELECTION.

There is a rumOr out 20 the effect
that a petition has been gotten up TO
present TO the county commissioners at
their next regular meeting asking for
another wet and dry election 20 be
called in this county We have been
reliably informed that the petition con-
tains names Of a number of persons
who now claim they did not know ex-
actly what was intended to be done
with 1t when they signed same, or au-
thorizcd their names 10 be signed, and
who now wish their names not TO APP
pear on said petition
Said parties can have their names
taken oil by appearing at the board
meeting and demanding such.
There are other names on the list,
from what we can gather, who are not
registered voters, and perhaps some
who are disqualified for other reasons
So let there be large attendance OF
all the forces who oppose having open
barIooms again in Tallahassee and
Leon county. and let's sec to IL, by
pointing out to the commissioners any
IRREGULARITIES or reasons why an cleo
ton should not be called, IN answer TO
the application by the vets.
Leon county cannot afford to go back
into and make itself party to dealing
in whiskcy. It's bad enough to have a
few illegal dealers, on "blind tigers, "
but not one One-huudredth the amount
of evils come to a community from them
that comes from and goes with having
the free and open places on our streets,
and if the people will organize and ere
ate "A healthy sentiment against the
law.breaking class and lend the officers
the right kind OF support, these, too,
can ur gotten rid of.
Now, let the church, temperance and
other forces who oppose this move get
their eyes and ears open and get busy
again 20 resist the move. The best
place TO win the battle, will be to at
tack and see that the petitio0 is icgni.
We will publish the petition as soon as
we can secure a copy of it.

worthy for its pleasantness and the
quiet way in which 1t was carried on
1t was peculiarly remarkable that such
an excellent corps Of good citizens were
candidates to I'LL these positions of
trust, and remarkably peculiar that
there was no opposition at all for any
position. The ticket as elected was as
follows, all receiving about the same
number, of votes

term of office Of our present efficient
mayor, but we are confident that with
Hon w NJ Mcintosh as our chief ex-
ecutive we shall continue to make such
strides of advancement, and Iallahas-
see will, with few more such mayors
and city officers be second to no city of
its size in the State.
Owing to i'll health Mr. W d. Wilson
decided 10 not again run for City Tax
Collector and Mr.. c. Y. Fem was
elected to FIJI that very responsible po-
sItion. Mr.. Wilson has made a record
I as one of the very best officials the city
ever had, and gives up the Office with
perfectly clean score, having every year
collected up close to the last cent, and
! leaving no back taxes due the city.
Many citizens regret that Hon -. M,
! Lowry, who has done most commenda-
| tory work for the city as chairman OF
! the street committee, was not on the
| ticket for reelection. and that Hon.
Joseph a. Edmondson was also conspic-
| uous for his absence on the ticket. He
| has been the efficient chairman of the
committee on ordinances for some time,
and has been a substantial log IN the
council raft.
While in reality this is only primary,
in effect it is an election, as there is no
opposition.
