The Key West Citizen puts it to Ma
nOleon and JOhnathan thusly: "The man
who cannot carry his own county and his
own precinct in a State election will
bear watching. His neighbors gener-
ally know him better than any one
else"
General Gilchrist is almost universally
admitted to be As eonhding as a woman
and as guileless as a child And now
the Tallahassee Sun is calling him a
''demagogue" the whole manner Of his
living and the trend Of his life gives
the charge fiat denial. -Ocala Banner

Hon. A. c. Blount, Jr.. is on the bal
lot again as a candidate for delegate
from the third congressional district TO
the Denver convention. A vote for him,
and for A. C. Clewes, will be to send
two more good business and represent
ative men on the Florida delegation.
This newspaper dishkes to differ with
the ministers of his own and other
churches, but he just cannot swallow
voting for or advocating the election Of
such rotten demsgogues as Johnnie N.
c. Stockton and Napoleon B. Broward,
which the Prohibition party, clear out
from true Democratic principles, are
attempting to push down our throats.

FlOrida's Governor, candidate for
United States Senator, outwardly de-
nOUncing all the railroads, the Times
Union and Taliaferro, and entering into
. combine with them in an effort 70 be
elected, is RICH and RACY, and if the
the people get on to him in time, Tues
days election will be a landslide for
Fletcher as it should be on general
principles; ;o.
For the principle and right there is
involved in it, is the sensible and sane
reasons why most church and temper
anee people will not support the vile
demegOgues and scheming political trick
Bters, Stockton and Broward; and why
they will vote for Gilchrist and Fletch-
eF next Tuesday, June 10th. All the
preachers in Florida could not induce
we Floridians, who know them Just as
they are, to vote for either Of them for
any high Office.

May the good Lord be with and en-
eOurge those who are working to over
throw such scheming, political tricks
Sters and demagogues as Napoleon B.
Broward and Tohn N. C. Stockton, in
Tuesdays primary. They are not tenn
perance people at heart, and in their
past political contests they, and their
workers, used whiskey as a means to
carry their ends more than have any
political gang this writer knows of in
years Of active newspaper work. They
have slandered Gilchrist and Fletcher,
too, either Of whom are their superiors
in every respect. Remember how they
used whiskey on Legislator Cr0mpton
during the session of 1897.

The Tampa Tribune in giving an ac-
count Of John StOckton's speaking in
Tampa last week, said he had "evaded
his guards, and "haranged a crowd"
there. Slanderedeverything and every
body there who opposed his demsgog-
ism and his style of straighout, three
friends kind Of politics Just give John
Stockton more rope, and let him show
himself up in has true character a little
more, and hb fooled preachers and de.
ceiyed temperance supporters will
Nghake him on the run. It will take
something more than Prohibition senti-
ment 20 make many Of the best temper
