they never succeed in finding each other

the difficulty would be to form so

q way IN which they could be brought
together.
Miss Bessie Lamb. Of Virginia. ana
Miss Julia Williams, daughter OF John

NOT UNEXPECIR1

Nearly everybody q da has ex-
pected Governor Browatd to get into
the senatorial race Some thought he
would wait and seek successorship to
Taliaferro, and perhaps that was his
first plan, but TIE untimely and lament
ed death Of Senator Bryan opened a new
prospect, and, on the principle Of 'now
or never. he did a characteristic pOlit-
ical stunt by appointing Lamar's chief
West Florida supporter, and making a
bombastic and spectacular announce
ment Of himself,
Neither the appointment of Milton
nor the characteristic announcement is
likely to help along Broward's chances
for securing votes. The best people
and there are plenty of "best people"
in Florida-will resent both. They will
despise the petty, peanut politics in
volved in the appointment, and will sim
ply laugh at the silly and bumptious
language Of the announcement.
The worn-out political gag about the
immense number Of "telegrams, letters,
and personal requests" alleged to have
been received urging the Governor to
make the race, would not be out of
place, perhaps, in the announcement of
a candidate for constable or justice of
the peace, but in this instance it was
exceedingly raw and ridiculous, and will
merely serve to amuse the voters, who
should be given due credit for an intelli-
gence which will see through the trans
parent device and take it for just what
it is worth. So it isv too, with his alb
surd assumption that it is his duty to
the people of the state" to enter the
race. 1.-The people" who have expressed
their desire in that direction could
doubtless all be counted on the fingers
Of one hand, and most certainly COM
prise only the few devoted personal and
factional admirers and machine" en-
gineers whom he met while engaged in
attending the funeral of the deceased
Senator at Jacksonville.
In short, BrOward's candidacy, so
blunderingly "circussed." " is destined to
be regarded as the principal joke Of the
Senatorial campaign.

WILLIAM IAMES BRYAN.

Will Bryan is dead This sad mes
sage flashed from lip to ear throughout
Jacksonville yesterday, and the wires
carried it to friends and relatives in va
rious parts Of the State. The news
came as a shock, because reports from
his bedside during the last few days
were encouraging, and the latest bulle-
tin that came over the mes-Union's
leased wire from Washington at two
O'Clock Sunday morning reported a
much improved condition and hope for
his recovery.
Will Bryan was a lovable character,
handsome, magnetic and eloquent, and
his friends looked forward TO a brilliant
career for him. They were proud of
him, and they were happy in his sue
cess. But the Grim Reaper came and
earthly ambitions for him are at end.
Side by side in the Senate Chamber
sat Senator Whyte, of Maryland, and
Senator Bryan, of Florida, the oldest
and the youngest Senator. Only few
days separate them in their journey to
the Great Beyond. Both are dead.
And it seems only yesterday that they
were in the full vigor of life, planning
together measures for the benefit Of
their constituents.
Seven United States Senators have
been claimed by death within the past
ten months. These were John T. Nor
gan and Edmund w. Pettus, both of
Alabama Stephen R. Mallory, Of Flor
ida Asbury C. Latimer, of South Car
olina Redfeld F. Proctor, of Vermont;
William Pinckney Whyite, of Maryland,
and William James Bryan, of Florida.
In this unusual harvest of death,
Florida has twice suffered, the Reaper
coming the second time while the
wound left by the death of Senator
Mallory still ached IN the hearts Of his
friends.
They are having little earthquake
shocks in Washington. Tallahassee is
somewhat tremulous also. Times I'm
ion.
Nary.a shock has the great Napo-
leon caused in these diggins. Fact is,
he does not stay in Tallahassee enough
to cause even a little rumbling here,
and as for shocks, why he covers the

GOOD COUNTY ROADS.

There have been recently reported at
this office several bad places in the
county roads that demand immediate
attention. AS well as we can remem-
Der, they are as follows: The hill be-
yond the Eppes homestead, on the
Bradfordyille road; on the Meridian
road, at bottom of Ronald's hill near
Lake Jackson; approach, at both ends,
to bridges over Iamonia's Slough; near
the Anderson place, on Fort San Luis
road; on Miccosukie road, sudden de-
scent into a deep wash-out in Carmich-
ael branch, and the Glenwood branch.
An attempt has been made to repair
this lsst-named place, but much still
needs to be done.
The contrast shown by the st. Angus
tine road. because of the recent repair
ing done, especially at the Walden
place, is very marked, and encourages
the hope that all the above mentioned
places will soon be in equally good con-
dition, and now that our county COM
missioners have good teams and road
implements, prospects brighten for bet
ter roads all over the county. So may

There certainly is a difference, and
such acts in the Governor, are open to
just criticism. He is a high-salaried

Whiskey advertisements are not ac-
cepted and inserted in this newspaper
at any price or under any conditions or
circumstances. Not a single one has
ever appeared in it. The above appears
in every issue of the Tallahassee True
Democrat, at the head Of its editorial
columns, in which it supports General
Gilchrist, who has the united support
of the whiskey people for governor.
Better publish whiskey advertisements
than help the whiskey people TO elect a
governor. White Springs Herald.
The White Springs Herald, from
which we take the above, comes to US
with a number of articles against both
Stockton and Gilchrist, blue-penclled,
showing clearly in whose interest it is
laboring. The True Democrat cares
nothing for the slur at it, and repro
duces it simply to show to what end
Hon. Albert w. Gilchrist's opponents
will go in an endeavor to weaken him,
if they can, with the best people. We
DO KNOW that Gilchrist's past record
for good morals and temperance is as
good, if not better, than that of either
Stockton or Browne, particularly so as
to whiskey, and we stand ready to
back it up by some actual history at
Tallahassee, with afFidavits. The True
Democrat is CONSISTENT at all times,
and because Hon. Albert w. Gilchrst
is no demagogue, and the best of the
bunch on account Of the good record he
has made in public life, we are support
ing him. He has resorted TO no under
handed means Of securing his election
either, such as riding temperance and
church into dirty politics. If elected
governor, as we feel he will be, he will
stand for all that is best for the peop-
les general interests. No mistake will
be made in making Gilchrist governor
of Florida.
The True Democrat is not opposing
any candidate, personally. We only
hope to see good men defeat machine
politics and politicians, and those can
didates we are supporting are surely
pulling against the power Of the Three
Friends Broward-J jennings combination
in this State, and it's the very worst
ever.
