his private secretary. The announce
ment came as quite a surprise to ITALIA

idea that a Tallahasseean would be Sc
lected, and while it was known that
there were a number of applicants for
that position of great honor, Mr.. Whit
field will measure up to the full stand
ard in all respects, and Governor Gil
christ could not have secured more
efficient and competent man for that
position in his State Mr.. Whitfield IS
one of the best posted men in Florida
on State affairs, and for that one reas-
on, If there were not others, will prove
a valuable aid to His Excellency, Gov
ernor Albert w. Gilchrist. The True

FRANCIS P. FLEMING.

When this issue of the Times Union
carries to many homes in Florida which
the telegraph has not reached the
knowledge that Ex-Governor Francis r
Fleming has passed away from earth, a
shock of surprise and sorrow will be felt
throughout the State. All knew that
he was seriously i'll, but the great ma
iority of us believed as well as hoped
that his recovery was to Oe confidently
expected. However, the sorrow will
outweigh the surprise. No man had
more devoted friends-in no citizen OF
the State did public confidence and we'll
justified respect so assuredly repose.
Devoted to those he loved, most ex-
emblary as a citizen, Governor Fleming
was immaculate as a politician, and
these are now so rare that the absence
of one IS a distinct loss that Will be
keenly felt. Throughout his life his
distinguishing trait was his conscien-
tlousness he thought was right
he did. and the confidence that he would
do this only was impressed on all VINO
knew him, not by what he said put oy
the unvarying course OF Ire loadeH
with responsibilities that needed no OF
fetal oaths to emphasize them IN MS
apprehension. Neither friend nor Zoe
supposed for one moment that MS per
sOnal feelings would decide hls course
as chief magistrate OF the State-De-
cause he knew how sincerely he loved
his friends he suspected himself OF bias
| In their favor and demanded OF them
more than he asked from his enemies
when they applied to him for ofhcia
recognition.
The type of man to which Governor
Fleming belonged is almost extinct
among us-wOuld we knew how TO re

Conscience is needed above all things II
