II was some sad and expensive days
work when the Democrats in Florida
compromised matters In convention
with POpulists, and put some Of them
into high Office. Things have been
gradually growing worse since, until
now, our burdens are about on par
with carpet-bag days again. II will
take some more Of the best to get them
regulated.
The Pensacola News Ia accredited
with being the originator Of the follow
ing "If some Of the public officers Of
this State could be bought at their real
worth and sold at their own valuation
several big fortunes could be made In a
short time" And then the Gainesville
Elevator puts this up TO that editor
" We dare you 10 come out and name
them" IL has been some days, and
nary one" has he yet named.

II you have not paid your occupation
or license taxes, you stand In danger Of
having the authorities take you In hand
end Of having additional costs added 10
the already heavy and very burdenaome
taxes. Whom you get all your receipts
IN hand compare them carefully with
those Of the past and see IL you are not
burdened now about an heavily as you
v ere in carpet-baR days. Floridians
are paying for extravigant and reckless
management Of public affairs, and II is
fnll time 10 call hault and demand q
change for something better. Put the
best men IN Office again, men Of the
brow. Fleming, Bloxham, Mitchell or
or Perry type.
