A recent issue of the Miami Metropo
lis thus sums up the Senatorial race:
"a careful perusal of the newspapers
with what report there comes from
other sources congealS in conclusion
that the race for the United States Scna
tOrShip will be between Stockton and
Blount. Mr.. Stockton'S race has re.
ceived encouragement from the begin,
ming and has gathered force as it went
until ii begins TO look as if he may be
high man in the first primary, though in
reason ii is to be expected that Mr..
Blount will be- Mr.. Bryans candidacy
began with a flourish and has fallen
very flat. There has been little or no
response in the newspapers 10 his appeal
for the BroWard strength, and Mr..
Bryan has not done anything in the way
of furthcring his own cause by his at.
lacks on Mr.. Stockton and Mr.. Blount.
Mr.. StoCkton'S long record in contend
ing for popular rights; his consistent
stand for the right whenever the issue
was drawn; his record as a successful
business man; his record as a friend,
tried and true; his record as a public
OffiCial-in every walk and in all OF
them he has measured up to the mark OF
faithful spokesman for the people, a
staunch representative of their rights
and fearless foe of public evils. Ii is
the firm belief of many, and this many
includes the older men and politicians
in Florida, that John N. C. Stockton is
by reason of his long study of public
affairs, his long acquaintance with CON
ditions in Florida, his punctilious ideas
of conduct in official position, better
qualified than any man in the race for
the position of Senator, and regardless
of faction and former affiliations they
have determined to cast their votes for
him"

Inquiry from the aged man, who car
ried a fiddle under his arm, drew out the
information that the stranger had Just
arrived from Florida, where be has spent
several weeks, and was on his way TO
his home in Pompanoosuc, vt. He would
not give his name, but said he was the
fiddler for all the country dances in his
neighborhood and guessed the folks
would be glad to see him again"
He said he had worn the light suit
and .traw hat in preference to purchas-
ing winter garments in Florida a a high
price. with the added discomfort Of hav-
ing to carry his summer suit in a bun
die
He said he intended to keep on the
inside Of the cars and waiting stations
all the way to Pompanoosuc, which is
in Windsor county, and believed he
would suffer no great discomfort in his
summer garb and without the overcoat.
