Its Hard to

The state democratic xecutive
committee met a few days ago to fix
the time for holding the coming state

about the matter was heard in the
entire meeting of the committee. The

luded to.
This was, Of course, too much for
our dignitied and scholarly south Flor
ida contemporary, and in an editorial
entitled Its Hard to Reverse the
! Wheels" it almost loses It's temper
as follows:
Editor Russell, of the Brooksville
Argus, has taken a manly and proper
stand throughout in favor of holding
a state convention for the declaration

to use its utmost charity in dealing
with propositions of this kind.
