OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.

The True Democrat has about decided
to support Hon. Albert w. Gilchrist for
Governor, and we take him ''hole-hog. "
his cage of monkeys included! This de-
cision was brought about from the fact
that we are now convinced he has decid-
edly the best chances to defeat the
schemes of machine politicians. No
voter in Florida has a higher regard
than we do for Hon. Jefferson B. Browne,
but we do not believe he is strong
enough owing TO the present combina-
ton to DEFEAT the MACHINE. We have
the highest regard in the world for
Hon. John N. c. Stockton, personally,
but we cannot get our own free consent
to support him, because he is connected
with and backed by machine politics. "
It is certain he is the candidate of those
politicians who have run the govern
ment to suit themselves, disregarding
the best interests of all the people.
Hence we size it up as a duty, in our
humble way, to do all we can to elect
Hon. Albert w. Gichrist. SO, Three
Cheers and a Tigerw for the next Gov
ernor of Florida-The Hon. Albert w.
Gilchrist.

SPLENDID nAGAzINE EDITION

We acknowledge receipt of copy of
the Greater Tampa Magazine" edition
Of the Tampa Times, Of a recent date.
1t is as a complete encyclopaedia Of
that hustling, bustling, growing South
Florida city and reflects credit alike on
a community of an active, live and
wide-awake business people, united by
pulling together for their fine city, and
section, and the enterprising editors,
owners and publishers of the Tampa
Times. The magazine contains $50
pages, including the covers, all neatly
printed in colors and arranged attrac-
lively, we'll illustrated with half-tone
cuts and we'll filled with the very choic-
est descriptive, historical and biograph-
zeal matter. There is no calculating
the amount of good such advertising
brings to any community, and the
Tampa Times management deserves
great credit for the excellent publica-
ton, and Tampa business people for
the support which made it possible.
Tampa is one Of the very best gulf
cities in the South and as the years
come and go, 80 does she and her
people grow stronger and greater with
her, every Floridian has a pride in her,
and all rejoice with her in her prosper
ity. The mere fact that she sustains
and sends out to the world three large
and splendid up-tO-date daily ,news-
paper speaks volumes. We hope to
visit the fair soon, and may the best
Of everything, always, go to our
Queen City Of the Gulf. "

GIVE US IMPORTATION

The Starke Telegraph very appro-
priately calls attention to an important
matter, and has the following to say
concerning it:
Are not both the Tallahassee papers
falling short of their mission? Some
weeks ago it was vaguely intimated in
correspondence sent out by a clerk in
one of the cabinet offices that the In
ternal Improvement Board had com
promised law suit with the Louisville
q Nashville Railroad, and that the
compromise involved large sum Of
money or a large tract Of land, or both.
The correspondent assured US that tn
compromise was good for Us, but
tails have been entirely lacking. Ihe'
people Of the state would like TO know,
just how good the goodness is and it,
seems to Us that one or the other %.
both Of the Tallahassee papers ought
to publish the details Of the deal, IL
such a deal has been made. Il has
been often intimated that such a com
promise would be effected before the
close of Governor BroWard term, but
that is another story, and the Tele-.
graph is not much given TO limitations
anyway. What we do ask for is the
facts regarding the compromise with
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
If it is good for the citizens Of the state
they have a right TO know lust how
good it is so they can rejoice and be ez-
ceeding glad, and the duty of giving
them the information seems 20 devolve
upon the Tallahassee newspapers. They
are on the ground and can get the in
formation first hand"
This newspaper did comment on the
compromise quite lengthy and fully
Fact is this newspaper comments on
that official correspondents article,
after our comments had been published
is what has given the publicity it has,
received. If those ''goody-gOOd, " extra
good, officials desire the people TO know
the full details Of this compromise
transaction, they should, for very de-
cency's sake, and to prevent suspicion
and criticism, publish an itemized and
correct statement of it. We do not
mix up and mess with them, for we
have no favors, or expect any from
them. Now and then some under
handed thrust in the shape Of an invi-
tatiOn is extended us TO go there seek
ing to receive a eOntemptuOus snub
from some Of them, but il does not
take, nor do we bite. The 'pee-Wees"
are welcome to all the glory they get
from wOrshipping and tOadyizing, this
this "coO-cOO and interest owned" one
is above it. Let those officials give the
full and true facts, through the ma
chine organs, they can find some way
TO pay them for II, TO appear just a.
they wish it 20 be.

az CURSE ID EL0RInA

Editor Jordan Of the Punta Gorda
Herald, hits ticks square from the
shoulder. He hardly ever ''misses the

one Of his latest editorial paragraphs e

MYSTERIOUS SECRECY HIS FAULT.

When Editor Jordan Of the Punta
Gorda Herald runs out Of anything else
TO say, he has always the Cooper case
and the Pardoning Board to fall back
on, and those papers that do not like
BrOward for any reason no matter what
always take up the hue and cry with
enthusiasm. IL they know what they
are talking about, they are doing them
selves more injury than they are the
Governor, for some time the truth will
come out. III they do not know, then
they should investigate. We were pres
ent not long since when Gov. BroWard
gave q party Of gentlemen the history
of the matter, and we do not believe
that any Of them were unc0nvinced OF
the correctness of his position 10 the
matter Suffice It to say that his
reasons for neither fixing the date for
COOper's execution or joining IN vote
for his pardon or Communication are
sound. DE Funiak Breeze.
That's one Of Governor Broward' 9
greatest failings. If he has good rea-
sons for his very queer action in the
Cooper case that he could give 70 a
party Of gentlemen Of the correctness
of his position, why does he not give il
out, to all the people Of Florida. One
strong ground Of criticism Of him, is

If he would take Floridians more into
his confidence, quit lambasting all who
do not look through his spectacles, and
give Ji,H publicity to all of his official
acts, he would not be so often open to
criticism. None of us take any pleas
ure in it, but it is our privilege and our
right and duty to criticise him so long
as he usurps the power and privilege to
do so many things on the quiet, except

right to full information, in connection
with all things-and right here we will
remark, that il he were to cause to be

tractors, supplies furnished, with item
lied statements of cost to the minutest

what he is doing and be better satisfied,
