MEET TONIGHT
TO ORGANIZE
BLOUNT CLUB
EScAMeIA COUNTY - TO BOOST
WEST FLORIDA's CANDIDATE
FOR THE UNITED STATES SEN.
ATE.

Citizens Of Pensacola and Escsm-
bia county will meet tonight in arm
DRY hall and organize a Blount club,
the purpose being to further the can
didacy Of Hon w. A. Blount, West
F1orida's candidate for the United
States senate.
The meeting is called for 1880
o'clock, and there will be no lengthy
talks or addresses, and what inform
al speeches are made will be short.
The attendance of every one is desir-
ed.
The friends Of Mr.. Blount believe
that now the campaign has advanced
sufficiently to make the commence
ment of active work for the Pensacola
candidate advisable and for this rea-
son 1t has been arranged to organize
the club at this time. Mr. Blount Is
actively engaged in his canvass in the
eastern and southern parts of the
state and in these sections the inter-
est shown in the senatorial race is
considerable. Less has been said
about the approaching election in
Pensacola and this district than any
where else in the state. Mr.. Blount's
friends, while they realize that he
does not need much electioneering,
In the common use of the word, in
hts home town, believe that there is
always strength in organization and
they desire to establish a record
breaking club, in points Of numbers
and enthusiasm.
