OUR CONVENTION'S.
Democrats will remember that Putnam
primaries are called for June 7th, the
County convention meets in Palatka on
June 11th, the State convention in IVn
sacola on June 25th, and the Congression
al convention in Palatka, July 1st, at
12 m.
Organize your Clubs, and write to The
News. We will send one copy of the
Weekly to the Secretary of each Club.
THE PALATKA PRIMARY.
We are grieved to see some o;ooii
democrats carrying from the prima
ry of yesterday a fault-finding dis
position. It is urged that a printed
slate means nothing except a desire
to save a voter the trouble of wri
ting, and that every man could have
his own ticket printed if ho liked.
The one question of interest to us
now is, whether the primary has
succeeded in sending to the con
vention a representative delegation.
It is at least surprising that some
names presented which have hith
erto been not without honor in
the party should have been passed
over to secure ths insertion of oth
ers who at least have no mark of
the harness or trace of the dust
which falls upon the real workers.
To the fait of democrats in conven
tion assembled we bow gladly, ex
cept when the judgment is obtained
by objectionable methods or con
tains decrees which we consider
morally wrong. In all matters of
choice as to men and measures we
acknowldge allegiance due to the
majority. To the final judgment
which may be rendered, we shall
hardly feel bound to enter appeal,
hut the delegation elected on ves
terday has already aroused violent
opposition. We utter the warning
now, that no good will be done by
the exclusion of a large constituency
who have the right to demand recog
nition, or hy the political ostracism
of men who are conscientious demo
crats, and have a following which is
at least valuable in a county whore
the margin is as narrow and change
able as ours. We harbor no ill will
for previously conceived plans or
carefully constructed "slates" for
those who do these things against
brethren will find themselves with
out honor in the happy family
which meets on the 11th prox. Hut
the democrats who allow any mo
tive or purpose to exclude from their
councils such veterans as Col. Pratt
Mr. Peter Munroe and Rev. J. W.
Thomas, or such part warriors as
Win. F. Forward and E. S. dill
will find it hard to explain the oper
ations of the "caucus" to the voters
of Putnam county.

petard."
TIIK GOVERNORSHIP.
A Review of Hon. P. P. BishopVt Com
ment on Governor Drew.
We take the following from an
article in the Times-Union of June
5th:
Mr. Bishop even says "Drew took
the State of Florida ami made a
present of it to the Democratic par
ty." We have a high regard for
Mr. Bishop, but he certainly draws
upon his imagination to an extraor
dinary degree.
But, says Mr. Bishop, he present
ed the state to the democratic part v.
The truth is, that the true people of
the state had become so much en
raged by radical and bayonet mis
rule that they determined to carry
the state. .Every man that could
raise his voice was upon the stump,
money was given freely by all, and
nuch men as Bishop and hundreds of
others, went over the state to stir
the people to a true realization of
their situation. The state executive
committee brought such speakers as
Ben. Hill and General Alpheus Ba
ker into the state to arouse the peo-
pie. That is what carried the state.
General Finley, Governor Walker,
Judge Baker, Colonel Daniel, Judge
Maxwell and hosts of others could
have done it. This is fully demon
strated by the fact that Lieutenant
Governor Hull outran and received
more votes than Governor Drew.
Drew was a mere figure-head in the
canvas, as he was while playing
governor. His vetoes of railroad
hills for South Florida, his messages,
his letters indeed, all of his public
documents were, if we are correctly
informed, written by other hands.
He never averaged, except during
the session of the legislature, more
than probably one day in the week
at the capital. All of his work was
done by others. His administration
as compared with Bloxham's is as a
mole hill to a mountain. Some per
sons blame Dloxham for the Disston
sale; Governor Stearns, a republican
governor, and Governor Drew both
tried to make a similar sale. The
republicans cannot attack the sale,
for they re-nominated Stearns, know
ing his efforts to sell at the same
price. Governor Drew's friends can
not truthfully do so, for he tried to
make a similar sale to relieve the
fund. The only difference is that
Iiloxham succeeded and Stearns and
Drew failed. The result of Blox
liam's success has been the realiza
tion of Florida's great success.
Compare her where she was in June,
1881, and where she is to-day; what
intelligent man would place her
back to her position when Bloxham
went into office? I am anxious to
have our prosperity continued. I
am not writing with a view to re
nominate Bloxham. Why not give
us a new man? Pasco will not do.
He would be a heavy load to carry
with grave doubts of success. There
is too much known against them
matters that have been held back,
but fatal in their effects.
Take such men as Judge King,
Judge Baker, Colonel Daniel, Gen
eral Barnes, General Perry Judge
Maxwell, Judge Mitchell, or others
of that stamp. Let the democracy
beware; there is danger ahead.
Can't the democracy select one of
the above named gentlemen, and
thus secure a fit successor to Blox
ham, whose administration has been
the most successful that Floridaever
had? Either that, or give us Blox
ham back. Pko(;im;ss.

'"Charles NordholT suddenly dissappear
ed from his office here the other day,"
says the "Washington Capital, "and le
fore his friends at the capitol knew he
was out of town he had arrived with
Mrs. Nordhoff in Paris, where he had
been called by a cable dispatch to consult
with Mr. James Gordon Bennett. Mr.
Nordhoff is Mr. Bennett's principal poli
tical adviser, and also has charge of
manj of his larger business interests in

vice Mr. Nordhoff receives the princely
salary of $10,0U0 a year."
"Labor !" says "Ouida?" "I do not
labor when I write. If I did I should
throw away my pen forthwith. Writing
is a pleasure to me." The correspondent
who reports these remarks in the Chicago
Inter Ocean, adds that Miss de la Rame
was recently invited to a breakfast party
and, for a wonder, accepted. The oth
er guests came and the breakfast hour
came too, and wont. But no "Ouida"
appeared. Finally the chagrined hostess
and her disappointed friends sat down
at table. At this moment the ap
parently belated "Ouida" hurried into
the dining-room. It was not until sev
eral days afterward that the rest of the
party learned that she had leen the first
to arrive, and, having seated herself lie
hind the drawing-room door, had quiet
ly listened to her merciless dissection
by the ladies with whom she had
come to break bread.

As a Democratic Journal it adheres with te
nacity to the time-honored principles under
the operation of which the Administration of
Andrew Jackson was crowned with glory, and
which justified the remark in his parting ad
dress that he left the American cople prosper
ous and happy. The Post never wanders after
false-gods. It never soils its fair fame by de
sert ing the fundamental principles of t he Dem
ocrat ii; faith. Its creed is built on the solid
lloek oftlie CoiiKtlt titlon.
and is as sound and imperishable as the foun
dation on which it rests. Hut in all its discus
sions it recognizes perfect freedom of opinion,
and treats its opponents with a catholic spirit
worthy a candid and inquiring age and ir. a
manner to harmonize courtesy with honesty
and thlelity. In its cistinctive characteristics
it never stood higher with its political friends
throughout the I'nioti, or with the public at

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, lrtf4.
The Times will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosjerous than ever Ihj
fore in its history more widely read and
cjuoted, more heartily commended, and more
liercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganization, and an able ssoff of contributors
ind with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and itowerf ul
f n the past.
The Times has no party to follow, no candi
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the public-welfare.
And, wliile maintaining its jjosi
tion as the leading Journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to lie continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of a newspaier is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. The Times spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all it dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it a large variety of entertaining and instruc
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and to make it a journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
cle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
The Weekly Times is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day of those paers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspaiei"8
everywhere, esjecially in the thriving centres
of rural population, have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our forward-moving people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone; and, with it, they are going, too It
was not the fault of the papers: it was the im
provement of the country that brought atout
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re
quire more than news.
The Weekly Times gathers off the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest to the people at large, and sets it lefore
them in such generocity of paper and print as
