THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION

Yielding to the solicitation of
friends in different parts of the state,
hereby announce my candidacy for
delegate from the state at large to
the national democratic convention,
which meets in the city of Baltimore
on June 25th next.
If elected 1 shall leave my toma-
hawk and scalping knife at home, and
will carry to the convention an olive
branch of peace, and will do all in
my power to bring about a spirit of
harmony and good fellowship among
democrats of all sections, schools and
classes, so that a general unification
will prevail
Our. only hope of victory is in ''get-
ting together" and with that spirit
uppermost, / make an appeal to all
classes of democrats, whose desire
for victory is paramount to all other
considerations, for support.
Very truly,
FRANK HARRIS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Drew 7. Johnson, of
Wildwood were visitors to Ocala We'd
nesday. Mr.. Johnson is the superint-
endent of the Monarch orange grove
near Wildwood, said to be the largest
in the world. The crop was short
this year, only little more than
thirty thousand boxes were shipped,
but the prices were very fine, and the
profits were even greater when more
than sixty thousand boxes were mark
eted. Mr.. Johnson did not forget to
leave a few samples of the pine-ap-
pie orange, the king of Siam and some
specimen grapefruit at this office
which in avor, size and color are en-
titled to be decorated with the order
of the blue ribbon.

DEMocRAcYs OPPORTUNITY

John Temple Graves says:

administration, when the famous Nc
Kinley bill became the live and lurid
issue of American politics, have the
people of this country been so pro-
foundry stirred over the high cost of
living.
"On tidal wave of protest against
the inequalities of the tariff, Mr..
Cleveland was returned to the White
House.

appears to have risen.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Please allow me space in the Ban
ner this week, as / know of no better
medium for reaching all the people
than through your valuable paper.
First, I want to thank my friends
throughout the county and state most
sincerely for their kind expressions,
personally and by letter, urging my
candidacy for certain offices.
After giving the subject very ma
ture c. sideration, have made up
my mind not to be a candidate for
any office in the coming primary, and
l hope my friends W II pardon me for
the step | have take. My main rea-
son for not becoming a candidate is
that | have been away from home
practically for five years. AS most of
you know l was state supervisor of
convicts, and it required all of my
time to impart justice to all concern
ed. | rendered as faithful service to
the state as ] knew how, and hope my
labors have been a blessing in many
ways to the unfortunate ones who
came under my care. Not having
very much money to enter the CAM
paign with is another reason, and
that seems to be one of the first quail
ifications to enter the race for any
office, SO l have decided to stay at
home and improve my farm for a
while, at least.
| certainly appreciate most sincere
ly the many kind expressions, per-
sonally and by letter urging me to
become candidate for sheriff of Ma
rion county l don't believe there is
man in the county who would ap-
preciate the sheriff's office more than
myself, and l am sure l would do my
best to render faithful service to all
the people.
The present incumbent, Hon. John
P. Galloway, is serving his first term
and has made a splendid sheriff, a
man whom we all should feel proud
of for his faithful service. And the
unwritten law of the party is, where
an officer has made good, he should
at least succeed himself one time !;
therefore, | hereby second the nomi-
nation of Hon. J. P. Galloway for
sheriff for the next four years.
l have also been solicited to run
for county judge, legislator, county
commissioner, railroad commissioner
and commissioner of agriculture, and
in justice to myself and family l can
not be a candidate for either, but ap-
preciate my friends just the same.
and hope some day to be with them.
So I will content myself staying at
home, reading the papers and work
ing for and supporting my friends in
the present primary.
Yours very truly,
JOHN T. LEWIS.
