not hurt us in the least, and speaks for

MONTIcELLO NERS' HARRANGE.

This newspaper could I'LL quite a large
space in reply to Editor VIM. CarrOlTs
last weeks harrange, in defense of the
kind Of Christian gentleman Mr.. D. II.
Mays is, but il is absolutely unneces-
sary since most people in Florida know
all about him and his past life, he hsv-
ing been a Standing Candidate for
something under the Sun so many times,
and having told them all about that,
only to meet defeat, just as he is liable
to get it in this race for Congress in
this Third Congressional District con-
test this time. The great News haber-
dash was all foreign to the subject. Of
our Criticizing d. H. Mays candidacy,
and he delivered himself Of a large dose
Of what he probably thought would be
particularly pleasing to those whom he
fawns TO and those whom the True
Democrat has dared to criticize. We
are entitled to our opinion of those men
and their acts, and the criticisms will
stand until something more substanti-
than windjabbing is offered as evidence
to refute same. We are not prOsecu-
ing officers, neither are we an investi-
eating committee, with authority to
act sgsint them.
Sorry we cannot see Dennettl Mays,
too, through your spectacles. That he
is a great, big lump of selfshness, with
his full quota of vanity and a desire for
Office, we do not doubt, and if he keeps
on butting-in and trying he may some
of these days accidently drop" into
one. The main trouble, as we see it,
is his always waiting to see what the
lineup will be before deciding what he
intends to go out after. But pshaw,
what's the use? Most of the people Of
Florida have it sized up correctly, and
there is no necessity in giving Dannitte
more nOtoriety, the main thing we
truly believe he is after. So, ta Ia,
William!

When Governor Jennings asked the

ator they refused, and justly so. 1t is
not morally fair, to say the least, for a
man to take advantage Of his position
as Governor to obtain the still higher
Office of United States Senator. The
people elected Governor Broward TO do
certain work, and he shows poor appre-
citation of their trust by abandoning his
place at Tallahassee and securing the
woods in an effort to make votes for
the Senate. Gainesville Sun.
That's so. but what cares he, blus-
tering windjamer that he is. He cares
nothing as to what the best people of
Florida thinks about the way he does
business, so long as he can please him
self and his machine allies. Dignity in
the high Office he holds was cast to the
winds in a few days after he was inau-
gurated, and so it will remain until
Albert ". Gilchrist is inaugurated and
brings it back again.

POINTED FACT.

Live Oak Democrat Much censure
is being showered upon the head Of
Governor Broward in different portions
Of the State for his apparent spirit Of
official greed. Nobody questions his
right as q citizen TO make the race for
the United State Senate but the peo-
pie feel that he owes them q duty as
their Governor for the present to keep
out Of such race, and remain at his post
Of duty in the careful discharge Of his
official functions, until his term Of Office
expires. The Key West Citizen speaks
Of the matter in the following Ian
guage:
'It looks as though Mr.. BrOward in
tends to make the race for the United
States Senate and hold his Office as
Governor. If he does II will contribute
more toward his defeat than any other
one thing we know of. It will be used
against him by his opponents, and it
will have weight with the voters who
think. If Broward is not big enough TO
make the race for Senator without
holding on to the GovernOrship he GER
tainly is not big enough to, be Sena-

made 10 the House OF Representatives
yesterday by Representatives Richard
son, of Alabama, and Jones, of Virgins,
for pension of $50 a month to Ellen
Bernard Lee, widow OF Gen. Fiizhugh
Lee. Both described Mrs. Lees present
financial condition, and briefly recount
ed the services which her husband had
rendered the government, not only as
coneul general to Cuba but as an officer
of the army. Mr.. Richardson told the
House that Mrs. Lees sole support was
out of the pay of her son, Capt. Fitz-
hugh Lee, of the army.
Mr.. Loudenslsger, OF New Jersey,
was losth to object to the proposal, but
said there were thousands of Other
widows of soldiers having the samt
claim on the government, who had nc
one to appeal for them. He was no.
opposed, he said, to granting an annu'
ity to Mrs. Lee, but he did object to III
being given in the way of pension ant
establishing precedent, which, be Cal
cplated, would involve an expenditure
of over 5000, 600, 900 year.

eliminate those fellows who vote repub-
lican presidential ticket and democratic
State and city ticket when a candidate
suits their ideas or when they want to
defeat another. 1t certainly is not good
