"We seriously doubt If the vot,

The Herald begs to assure the
journal and any Republican or
independent aspirant for the gov

of Florida will stick to the Demo
cratic nominee, whoever he may
be. They need a dose of bad med
icine, and The Herald at least
will do all it can to induce then
to take it and that, too, without
any lemon juice in it. If they
take it now, as they have sworn
to do and will do, it will have
fine effect four years hence.
And speaking of four year
hence, The Herald serves motto
right now that it will have moth

that our government will make
it as short as possible. To this
end, an overwhelming army OF

In American History--HoM
Murderer Of Great presi-

~ N April Il. 1861. the Union
flag was hauled down at
~ Fort Sumter, and the war
became a fact. On April IA,
1865, the man who had been the
head of the Union during the struggle
was shot by an assassin The world
today realizes the tragedy Of his as
sassination, but not SO well the shock
1t caused at the time. The shock was
the greater because 1t came without
| warning.
On the afternoon of April IA, 1865,
President Lincoln, accompanied by his
| wife, went for long drive. AS recre-
alton he had planned that night to see
the famous actress, Laura Keene, in
Our American Cousin" which was be-
ing played in what was then Ford's
theater on Tenth street northwest, be-
tween Il and streets.
General Grants Marrow Escape.
General Grant was to have been
one of the theater party, and the fact
| that he was Unexpectedly called away
probably saved his life, as there Is
no doubt that his murder was also
contemplated.
| The presidents box had been draped
with two flags, silk one borrowed
from the treasury department being
placed in the center. 1t was in this
that Booths spur caught when he
leaped from the box after shooting
Lincoln. Within the box was placed
a rocking chair for the use of the
president. At s:a0 Mr.. Lincoln, Major
Rathbone and Miss Harris entered the
box to witness a play Of which they
were destined never to see the end.
AS the president sat quietly in his
box for an hour and a half, John
Wilkes Booth, the assassin, was how
ering near, waiting for a favorable
opportunity to fire the fatal shot.
Booth was handsome. gay. romantic
young actor of the famous family of
actors. Edwin Booth was his brother
and Junius Brutus Booth his father.
Ardent Southern Sympathizer.
| Young Wilkes Booth-he was COM
monty called by his middle name
was an ardent Southern sympathizer,
and his frequent visits to Washington
brought him in contact with people
of similar sentiments, and gave him
the opportunity to put into effect the
plan which he imagined would be that
of a patriot.
| For some months he had been liv-
