A Change Coming
Over the People
The Arcadia Champion one of the
papers published in Gilchrists home
county has had its eyes opened since
the first primary and it now contains
the following very pertinent comment
on the campaign of the gentleman
from DeSoto
The Gilchrist organs are rejoicing
over the handsome majority given to
the gentleman from DeSoto in the
recent primary Some of those Who i
voted for the general In the last pri
mary in this county Will stop amt
consider before casting their votes in
the next primary after seeing that
his large majorities were mostly
made in wet counties and after hear
ing of the organized effort the whis
key men will make for his election in
the next
The Champion then explains its own
position in the campaign as follows
Wo dont want our friends and
neighbors to think that our opposition
its General Gilchrist as a personal
matter The Champion force would
< be as proud to see old DeSoto furnish
a governor as any citizen an the coun
ty if we thought he would properly
represent this as well as the other
counties of the state and we would
net object to the general if we thought
him the man necessary for this re
sponsible position but we would con
sider it a disgrace to this as a pro
faibltion county lo furnish tae next
governor and he a man wiho if not
openly working with the whiskey
farces is not opposed to them and in
whose support they are very active
Evidently a1 great change is coming
s over the people even in General Gil
christs own county and what Is oc
curring in other counties of that state
can only be conjectured It would not
bo surprising 5f Gilchrists vote inthe
second primary was smaller than in
the first The people are waking up
Jefferson B Browne low candidate
for governor said in a speech in Jack
sonville the night before tine primary I
If 1 am in the second primary with
Mr Stockton I can cheat him but if
ilr Gilchrist is in the second primary
with Mr Stockton he cannot beat him
as it takes more than a man with
monkey cards < o beat John Stockton
in the state of Florida
The GilchristPrimary
Tribune Enigma
General Albert NY Gilchrist candi
date for governor a good natured
generous big hearted man but a
straddlcr of issues wherever he meets
them has wired the Tampa Tribune a
follows 1
Jacksonville Pla May 29 190S
Tampa Tribune Tampa laIrt
the discussion ol the primary system
which has engaged the attention of
the state press more or less recently
I note that an effort has been made
in some quarters to ascnlbe an im
proper attitude to me in this matter
It is only necessary to say that I
have in mv platform and on the stump
Gaid that I WAS IN FAVOR OF A
RIGID ADHERENCE TO THE LAST
STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
AS TO PRMLAREBS I go further
than this I have said and say now
that whenever there is a vacancy in
county or district office to be filled
primary elections should be held and
that 1 will in each and every case
ablde by the result of the primary
When owing to lack of time it is inex
pedient for a primary to be held I
will appoint to fill any and all vacan
cies tho man or men who are recom
mended by their county or district
democratic executive committees
ALBERT AV GILCHRIST
This telegram was called forth by
1 The Journals demand that General
Gilchrist should place himself right
on the Primary and the Tribune com
ments upon it as follows
We are glad indeed to have re
ceived the telegram which will at
once anti completely upset The Jour
nals factitious reasoning or rataer
fancy and which should draw an
apology from its hasty and over zeal
ous editor For he has placed not
only himself but several other breth
ren of the press who seized upon his
foolish editorial with avidity in a
very questionable position I
And in closing we wish to call
especial attention to the concluding
words of General Gilchrists message
I HAVE SAID AND SAY NOW 1
THAT WHENEVER THERE > IS A
VACANCY 1N COUiNTY OR DIS
TRICT OFFICE TO BE FILLED
r PRIMIARY ELECTIONS SHOULD
BE HELD AND THAT 1 WILL
IN EAGH AND EViERY OASE
tullDE BY THE RESULT OF THAT I
j
I
PRIMARY WHETM OWING TO HACK
OF TIME IT IS INEXPEDIENT FOR
A PRIMARY TO BE HELD I WILL
APPOINT TO FILL ANY AiND ALL
VAOAJNCIBS THE iVAN OR MEN

THEIR COUNTY OR DISTRICT
DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE 0vI
IM3TTBES
This is the proper position for an
honest democrat to takeobedience to
citizens not the determination to boss
them
Now what kind of an enigma is this
anyway The Tribune denounces the
Primary as a blot upon the fair
name of Florida then publishes what
it would have people believe is an
endorsement of the Primary by Gen
eral Gilchrist and says that Gilchrists
alleged position FOR the Primary is
i
the proper position for an honest
democrat to take
If the Primary as the Tribune says
is bad and if Gilchrist endorses this
bad Primary then wbat does the Trib
une mean by contending that Its can
didates position is the proper posi
tion for an honest democrat to take
Is it the Tribunes position and if it
lc not then does the Tribune class
itself among 4Jhe dishonest democrats
The truth of the matter is General
Gikthrist has not answered The Joirr
ials proposition at all He has strad
dled it as he does every other issue
lIe favors a rigid atHierence to the r
last state democratic platform Of
course everyone does that Even the
outspoken opponents of the system
favor adhering to the Primary AS
LONG AS WJI3 HAVE IT WITH S
It is not what you will do while the
Primary is in existence general that
The Journal wants to know The
proposition is
Are you in favor of abolishing the
Frimary or of preserving it 3f elect
ed governor will you join with the
demand of your chief supporters and
help to DESTROY the Primary or do
you now pledge yourself to oppose I
their demands and to SAVE the Pri
mary
We know what John Stockton win
do but as it is possible though not
probable that you will be elected gov
ernor i instead of him we want to
Jcnow what you will do
That is really all there is to the
question Wall you answer it

A Local Enterprise That
Should Be Encouraged
In a recent issue of The Journal
the attractive program of the boat
club of the Y M C A of this city
looking to a big picnic and regatta at
Bayou Chico on July 4 was fully given
f
and there is every reason to suppose I
that the occasion will fbo a success
No city In America ihas better natural
advantages to encourage boating one
of the finest of sports than Pensa
cola and our local boat club should
he sustained in every possible way by
our citizens even as a matter of busi
ness and advertising for our city
If the proper encouragement is
given we can in time have annual re
gattas here that will draw great I
crowds and attract attention all over
the country We are by no means
getting the full benefit of our glo
rious bay and adjacent waters as Mr
Hervey the Mobile hotel magnate re
cently remarked and a good way to I
start in would be to encourage boat
jUg and give the boat club all the as
S stance it requires It would be a
meat stroke for Pensacola to have
the annual St Johns regatta held
I here with such cities as Mobile and
IXew Orileans to participate and this
can be done by proper effort
Not he least feature of the good
work contemplated by the boat club
ui der the auspices of the Y M C A
this summer is the establishment of
swimming classes for boys and girls I
vrith a matron to care for the girls
and an instructor in swimming pro
vided for both sexes Srwimming is
one of the most healthful and delight
ful of sports to say nothing of its
I
utility and the boat club should be
warmly seconded and materially aided
by the parents of our icily in its ef
forts to establish this source of
amusement and health ror our young
people this summer
The Winter Garden iRicochet takes
the following correct view of the
gubernatorial race
Hon Jefferson B Browne very sen
sibly stays that no candidate can
Zrarjiifer his support to another
Browne is taking his defeat for gov
ernor with becoming grace and clear
ly means to hands off and see a
sir fight His supporters naturally
will go to Stockton
Some of the Gilchrist organs are ad
vocating the nbclishing of the primary
and many people will want to Know
whether the general is with these
papers on this important matter or
cot Arcadia Champion
And they are still asking the ques
tion The general has not yet made
it plain whether he stjJnds for the pres
ervation of the primary or for its
abolition
Wlhilc Representative JLamar did
not succeed in his race for the sen
ate he is still in a position to enjoy
life and get most of the good things

Very Patient
A doctor now eminent was at one
time serving as interne In one of the
Philadelphia hospitals as well as hold
ing his own with a coterie of rather
gay friends On a certain morning the
physician awoke to find that he had
sadly overslept Sleepily donning his
attire he hastened to the hospital and
soon a stalwart young Irishman claim
ed his attention
Well my man what seems to be
your trouble this morning inquired
the doctor concealing a yawn and tak
ing the patient by the hand to examine
his pulse
Faith sor Its all In me breathin
doctor I cant git me breath at all at

The pulse Is normal Pat but let
me examine the lung action a mo
ment replied the doctor kneeling be
side the cot and laying his head on the
Irishmans chest Now let me hear
you talk he continued closing his
eyes and listening attentively for
sounds of pulmonary congestion
A moment of silence
What will I be sayin doctorT
finally asked the patient
Oh say anything Count Count

murmured the physician drowsily

last Monday in a Sixth avenue store I

a very large woman Just as he look

at him Instinctively perceiving with
diabolic Instinct what would be his

struck a beseeching attitude and called
out in imploring accents j
Oh mister lease mister dont spit

the stirring SCEnes enacted at its close Bryan began his address at 23
oclock in the afternoon and closed at 530
Over the report of that speech the New York World carried the follow
ing headlines
Bryan Downed Them All
Nebraskas Young Congressman Scores a Triumph in the House
His Maiden Speech a Brilliant Plea for Tariff Reform
Mr Raines of New York and Messrs McKeana and Lind Interrupt 1
Him with Questions and are Silenced by Sharp Replies
Party headers Enthusiastically Applauded Orator and His Speed
is the Talk of Washington
Concerning that speech I now quote from the report made by the NQwf
York World the Xew York Sun the Washington Post the New York IHC i v
ad anl the New York Times
The New Ycrk World said When Speaker Crk > p appointed Mr
Bryan of Nebraska one of the committee onu Ways and Means some cntl
c sm was made on the ground that he was ji new member and inexpert
enced in tariff legislation But Mr Bryan today in a threeHours speech
made the biggest hit of the debate and confiranel the speakers judgment
ol his ability No more dramatic speech 1ms boon delivered at this ses
sion Mr Bran has the clearcut features of the Randall type He spoke
without notes and his baritone voice made the chamber ring The republi
cans sought to take advantage of his inexperience in congress il y interruptI
tug him with questions which would have puzzled niurli older heads Butt
Mr Bryan brightened under this friction and forced one republican after I
another into his seat Old campaigners of the Reed school like Raines of
New York and McKenna of California found the young Nebraskan more
than their match A lawyer by profession Mr Bryan argued his case with
a dramatic directness that aroused not only the enthusiasm of the demo
crats but won the applause of the galleries When Mr Bryan finished
the galleries applauded for fully five minutes the democrats and republi
cans gathered about him and shook his hand warmly This speech haa
been a revelation No new member bas received such an ovation in years r
Mr Bryans speech was the talk of the town tonight
The Washington Post said If like Byron Congressman Bryan of
Nebraska does not wake this morning and find himself famous then till the
eulogies that were passed on him in hotel corriders were meaningless
There was hardly anything else talked about except the wonderfully bril i
hant speech of the young Nebraskan of the horse
The New York Sun said William Jennings Bryan the young demo
cratic leader frcm Nebraska whom Speaker Crisp placed on the Ways and
Means Committee against the protest of a large element in the house dis
tinguished himself today by making the star speech of the present ses
irn on the tariff question Mr Bryan astonished his associates and the
occupants of the crowded galleries i > y an exhibition of finished oratory sel
dom witnessed in the halls of congress He is only thirty years old Is tall
and well built with a cloanshaven face and jet black hair barley
ONeil the fatiherof the house as he ES called says Mr Bryan looks some
thing as the late San 1li Jackson Randall looked twentyfive years ago An
hour was given Mr Bryan to speak but when that time elapsed there was a
general chorus of Go on so on from both sides of the house Members
lingered in their seats and the spectators remained in the galleries till
512 oclock so intent were they in hearing the young orator from the
West Not only Ivas he logical but he was practical and won for himself
a place among the house orators beside the silvertongued Brcckinmidge of
Kentucky or tho calmvoiced Henderson of Iowa
The New York Herald said As Mr Bryan took his seat he was the
recipient of hearty consratulations from his party colleague Although
this was his maiden speeon he showed every quality of a fine orator No <
member who has addressed the house thus far upon the tariff question has
received the same attention which was accorded the young Nebraskan
The New York Times said For most of the time since the tariff
battlt in the house began the democrat have been attacking the republi
cans position largely with oratorical firecrackers Some of these explos
ives made a merry crackling but not enough of it fully to wake up the de
liberate body and certainly not enough of it fully to arrest the attention of
many persons out of the house Today almost with the effect of an am
buscade the democrats uncovered a teninch gun and for two hours shell
ed the surprised enemy so effectively that the protectionist batteries at
first manned with spirit hut supplied with very light guns were silenced
Gunner Raines republican New York coming out of < thc engagement with
a badly battered imuzzle and with the conviction probably that he would
be compelled next time to put in more powder and employ newer and more
imodern projectiles The man who today ceased tohe a new and young
unknown member and jumped at once into rthe position of the best tariff
speaker in ten years was Representative Bryan democrat of Nebraska To
be a representative from Nebraska imltes a condition of revolution in that
state but it also means something more in the case of Mr Bryan that was
not suspected before by those who are not familiar with his reputation at
home Some of the men who supported Mils were In doubt at the time ot
the caucus about his soundness generally as he was one of ithe four Sprin
er men who stuck to Springer after the last button was off his coat and
when the votes of the four wouldhave elected Mills instead of Crisp After
his speech of today there can be no doubt about where he stands on the
tariff question There can be no doubt about his power of oratory a nrl
argument and Mr Raines who is apt at a certain shallow sort of sophis
tical crossquestioning will probably admit that Mr Bryan is able to hold
his own with a veteran in the blackhorse cavalarj For two hours and a
half Mr Bryan held the floor and his audience being urged to go on after
his hour had expired and being inspired to still further continue by shouts
of Go on go on when he indicated a modest desire to bring his long
speech to a close Having a graceful figure a little above the average
height Mr Bryan is not unlike Carlisle in feature but not so spare His
face is smooth shaved and the features are strong and well marked His
voice is clear and strong his language plain but not lacking in grace He
uses illustrations effectively and he employs humor and sarcasm with ad
mirable facility The appiause that greeted him was as spontaneous as it
was genuine
Although Mr Bryans political opponents have told the world that
Nebraska has often recorded its political vote against him they have not
given the testimony that will be cheerfully borne by any pulable citizen
of this state That William J Bryan has never met with political reverses
hut that he was accompanied by thousands of men who having bad every
opportunity for the study cr the man trusted him Implicitly and admired f
him for the philosophy with which he met defeat the vigor with which he
waged the battle and the honesty with which he defended conviction
And these will also av that in this day Mr Bryan is stronger In Ne
braska than at any other time in his career He rnas won the way to tho
hearts of Nebraskans regardless of political prejudice
1f I were asiked to answer the question What is the explanation of
Bryan T I would quote the concluding paragraph of an editorial that appear
ed in the Omaha Daily WorldHerald during the closing hours of tho con
gressional campaign of 1S90 It was good then it is good now
Nature has gifted Mr Bryan with a remarkable facesuch a face as
could be carved on a coin and not be out of place He has a physical vigor
which makes his unstudied gestures icrcible and emphatIc He has an eye
which is by turns commanding and humorous And he has a voice which
is equally adapted to tenderness or to denunciation All these natural gifts
has William J Bran and to them Is added a talent forf research a genius
for accuracy and a nature for truth Let Nebraska congratulate herself
on the fact that she has an orator who possesses the physical and mental
qualities to make him a remarkable man in the history of this nation And
if the WorldHerald reads the stars aright the time will come when W T
Bryan will have a reputation which wll1 reach far beyond Nebraska and 16
will be a reputation for the performance of good deeds
