THE TRIBUNE was in error last week
in stating that thirty regroes had quail
fled for the city election. and would
hold the balance of power in electing
marshal and councilmen. This infor-
nation was brought to Us by two Of
the most prominent citizens of Fort
Pierce, and both gave as their authority
the city clerk and registration officer.
We accepted the statement as true
without consulting the records, coming
from such source, but it seems that
both misunderstood the city clerk. We
regret the error very much, and when
our attention was called to same, We
consulted the city registration books
and find that 65 have recently qualified
for the coming election, of whom only
six are negroes. We have no protest
against the negro resident and tax pay
er voting, but we do object to the
floating negro being clothed with the
ballot by designing white men.

sonable man knows that those 1000
votes were negroes, especially when
such men as Albert Williamson states
on their honor, and challenge contra
diction, that more than 5000 negroes
were registered in Duval county.
Before the stupid monster who con-
ducts the Short Talks for the Times
Union closes his remarkable etfusion
against The TRIBUNE, he makes this
statement: "The fact that the amend
ment was lost by over 5000 votes is
very well known in the remotest sec
ton of the State" We deny the state
ment. Every man in Florida who reads
knows that the amendment has been
defeated by less than 5000 except some
idiots who place entire confidence in
everything that the great State paper
publishes, and their number is growing
less every day.
We would suggest to the Times Union
that before it sets itself up as the GEN.
sor or critic of the weekly press of the
State. that it show willingness to pub.
fish the truth. Our comment was made
before the result of the election was
known. but its attack comes when the
count from Tallahassee had been pub
lished by all the up-to-date daily news
papers of the State.

neither do you. The prohibition coun'
ties did not defeat the prohibition
amendment, and the statement that
they did is deliberate falsehood 1--WE
would make it stronger if editorial
ettiquet did not forbid, printed for the
express, purpose of deceiving the PEG,
ple of Florida, as is customary with
the Times Union. The dry counties of
Florida gave majority of l,O67 for
the amendment, and it is time that the
great State paper woke up and pub
lished the truth, for once.
There are 80 dry counties in Florida
Nineteen of them adopted the amend
ment by a combined majority of 5000
These counties are: Alachua. Brevard
Bradford, Clay, DeSoto, Gadsden, Her
nando, Lake, Lee, Levy, Madison, Man
aztec, Osceola, Pasco, Polk, St. Lucie,
Sumter, Volusia and Walton. In thH-
teen of the dry counties Baker, Citrus,
Columbia, Hamilton Holmes, Jackson,
Jefferson, Leon, Orange. Putnam, Santa
Rosa, Suwannee and Washington the
amendment was defeated by combined
majority of 1868. This leaves net
majority of 1867 for the prohibition
amendment given by the thirty-two dry
counties Of Fl rida. Will the Times
Union publish this and admit that it lied?
Shame the devil and tell the truth.
Admit to the world that the people of
the dry counties stood up like men and
voted for the protection of the homes

PAIRING OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Representative John w. Dwight of
New York is tho t'whipn of the Can
non forces in the House of Representa-
tlvcs, That is, he is the gentleman who
assumes tho duties of whipping the
Representatives into their seats when
their votes arc wanted II seems that
Representative Dwight also undertook
to assume the position of deciding with
respect 10 pairs among the members of
whom. and so on. This, however. was
clear usurpation, absolutely beyond
the control of party whip or any
other authority, than the direction Of
the House itself. The practice has
grown up, it seems, whereby the whip
of the House has been allowed to ar
range pairs; but when it comes down
to matter of asking by what right
he does this, ii is seen that he does it
by no right at all, and that members
can arrange their own pairs in their
own way. So that here is 'Whip'

the Cannon forces are weakened, and

THE BRIDWELL WHITEWAsH.

The resolution adopted by the Board
of Education in this city on Tuesday
night with respect TO ex-Supernten-
dent Bridwell, is clearly a whitewash.

that the investigation in Mr.. Brdwell S
case was not concluded, therefore he
was not found guilty, and is consequent.

But why was the investigation not
pursued 10 the cpd! There was plenty
dcvcloped to condemn Mr., Bridwcll as
an unfaithful official. There was plenty
developed 10 show that Mr., Newman,
member Of the Board from the Third
Ward, was IN collusion with Mr.. Bird
we'll in padding the payrolls and put
own sons, under false names, these rela'
tivcs Of his drawing pay from the Board
under false pretcnscs. The invcstlga-
tion Of the payrolls necessarily involved
Newman. When The investigation be-
gan TO swing to other points, other
members of the Board saw their peril,
and they formed a cabal TO stop the
investigation altogether. The reason
why the investigation was not pursued,
therefore, was because other members
of the Board were afraid they would
be involved, perhaps even deeper than
Newman was involved
And yet these same members now
have the gall TO plead that because
the investigation was not completed
Bridwell is entitled TO clearance. And
their own guilty fears stopped the in

condition Of affairs as could well be

same time this is the body which IS
asking Salt Lake taxpayers TO author
izc them TO issue 100000 Of bonds
on the Salt Lake City school district,
to do what these same members please
with the money, They do not even
have the sense of responsibility that
other bodies have had heretofore when
asking the taxpayers of Salt Lake TO
allow them to issue bonds. In every
previous case the body so asking has
explained fully and in detail what was
proposed. The present board, which is
probably the least deserving of CONT
dcnce Of any that has ever asked bonds
TO DC voted by Salt Lake taxpayers, is
is the only one that demands the com
plcte confidence of the public, without
any explanation whatever.

when it proceeds to tell of Eastern pa

inference that they got it from The
Tribune, it knows that it Is a sueakiug
faker. 1T knows that some of those
papers had no time to get copy Of The
Tribune when they printed this report
and commented on 1T. They got the
story evidently from the Washington

from other papers printing the same as

even knowing anything about this pa

The News seems to feel aggrieved
that we do not pronounce the story al

for doing this, but on the contrary we
believe it to be absolutely true. There
is no reason whatever why the Wash
