PALATKA, FLA., JUNE 13, 1884.
The republican party is nick.
Blaino crow and Logan sauce i.s too
much for even a republican.
The "Blaine Grand March" is now
out. It is set to the tune of
Mulligan Guards."
The
Hayes opinion about the Chicago
nominees has not been inquired for
by the republicans, but it is under
stood that he will vote for the tat
tooed ticket, with the proviso that
lie shall not be called on to contrib
ute to the campaign fund.
The Atlanta Constitution says
that for a small town Key West
makes an unusual amount of noise.
The population is largely composed
of Spaniards and Cubans, and their
plots intrigues and conspiracies keep
the village in ferment all the time.
There is a Cuban paper published
here, and its rabid utterances annojr
the loyal Spaniards not a little. The
Spanish government watches Key
West with sleepless vigilance, as it
is believed that the next expedition
against Cuba will be organized
among its turbulent citizens. It is
something of an anomallv to have
this virtually foreign town under
the stars and stripes, and the specta
cle of Cuban patriots plotting in se
crecy, and dodging around under
ecver of midnight to escape the
spies of a despotic government is
decidedly picturesque if nothing
else.
THE MOItAIi TO BE 1)11 AWN.
At Chicago the power and emolu
ments which should be given for the
good of the people, were shameless
ly promised to secure Arthur's nom
ination. Promises were lavishly dis
tributed by Blaine, and each dele
gate suficeptible to such influences
heard the chink of ready cash. Bills
were cut in two, and one half was
kept by Phelps and the other given
to the delegate till he should earn
the whole by voting for Blaine. In
the beginning, such a state of tilings
was foretold by Hamilton, and the
prophecy heard with a sigh by Jef
ferson. It was intended that men
of calm judgment from the different
states should meet when party strife
had calmed and the echo of the
warriors had died away. Then
these delegates, selected by the peo
ple, should elect by ballot the man
best fitted in their judgment to pre
side over the republic. Now the
electoral college is only an expen
sive machinery which grinds out
the answer demanded by tlio people.
What an outcry there would be
should this machine register a result
not in accordance, with the popular
expectations ? If the end of their
deliberations is already known, win
should the machine be set to work ?
It was once our boast that the cost
ly red tape characteristic of Euro
pean governments was eliminated
from ours. Let us discard the elec
toral college and vote directly for
president as for governor, not for
men bound in honor to express no
preference of their own.
We claim to be the freest people
under the sun. Yet in England no
policy can be maintained by the
government contrary to the will of
the people. With us, the party in
power do as seemeth good unto them
and we must dance to its piping for
four years. We may, have a score
of tidal waves in as many different
states, but the president and his cab
inet is independent of us, and the
servant is master for a full term.
The executive supported by the
senate can afford to laugh at a tidal
wave which only changes the com
plexion of Congress. Yet the house
of representatives alone can come
directly from the people, therefore
.... . '
with it should rest the authority of
the people are we free when no
change of opinion in the voter can
affect the policy of the government
for four years ? Or are wc so con
servative that we only think once in
such a term?
Let us vote directly for our chief
magestrate, and there will be no
bribery of electorial colleges; give
the lower house the power to dis
miss the secretaries of tate, or of
war, or of the treasury or the navy
whose course is not approved by
the people and there will be a keen
er appreciation of the fact that the
voter is King in a republic. Give
the president a longer term if neces
sary, but if the secretary of state
hurries us into a Avar against our
will, or he of the treasury makes a
milic on Wall Street to line his
own pocket, and a "tidal wave" fills
the halls of congress with indignant
representatives of the people, let a
vote of censure displace the pre
sumptions chariteer from the seat
he had fancied his own.
Political parties are necessary to
government with us, but the party
which separates its interests from
those of the people is already doom
ed. The issue between the two now
is only the one of race in the south.
In the north and west the public
sees in the election only one unseem
ly scramble for spoils. Hereafter, if
neither party puts itself squarely on
some live issu the disruption is
inevitable. In Florida those who
wish for a compromise with political
enemies show an utter want of po
litical sagacity. The clean celar
issues can be appreciated; if none
of these are put forward the con
flict will degenerate into party duels
on personal claims in the different
counties. If democrats must nomi
nate republicans to secure republi
can support, why make any fight?
Is the dear people no utterly, mon
strously senseless that it will divide
itself merely for a contest whoso
onl) object is to profit or amuse
ment of a few privileged politicians?
If there is anything in which wo
differ, give us formal notice in the
platform and then give us a general
who will represent this principle.
But if you cannot give us a definite
platform nominato nobody. Make
no fight for the sake of fighting or
to secure a change among the fa
vored few.
AVJiy
the Democrats Should Nomi
nate G rover Cleveland.
The Even in? Post.
There is one consideration which we
sincereljr trust that the Democrats will
not overlook at this crises, and that is,
that the extent and promptness of the
revolt now going on in the Republican
ranks is largely due to the success, in the
largest sense of the word, of the previous
revolt in this State in 1882. We believe
that it would have been much more diffi
cult to prepare Republicans to repudiate
Rlaino and Logan, and the repudiation
of them when it camo would have been
much less extended and less effective, if
the overthrow of Folger had not turned
out as it has turned out. By this wo
mean that the mere election of Cleveland
by a tremendous majority would have
done little to prepare Rupublioan voters
to resist corrupt part' managoment in
the larger field of the Presidency. "What
has done this is Cleveland's great success
as a Governor. His steadfastness, his
unfaltering resistance to the baser sort in
both parties. his sagaeitj' and diligence in
the transaction of public business, have
not only given immense satisfaction to
the best men of both parties, but they
have had the important end novel effect
of making Republicans feel that lxilting
is a safe and efficient as well as a heroic
remedy for Republican abuses, and has
opened the eyes of a great many to the
fact that in spite of the experience of
the last twenty years public servants of
the lest class mav still le found in the
Democratic ranks.
Mr. Cox, known in familiar story as
"Sunset," is too cautious to permit the
bee to buzz alout his ear. "Have vou
any Presidential aspiration?" asked the
Washington Capital gossiper of the little
joker from New York. "Oh, no," re
plied Cox quickly. "There are so many
Jumbos in the Presidential race from
New York that there's no room for the
baby elephant."
Some of the electors in tho south of
London are said to contemplate bringing
forward Hiss Helen Taylor as a Parli
mentary candidate at the next election.
They believe there is no legal obstacle to
the election of a woman, although wo
men have not a Parliamentary vote.
Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has put
forth a theory that in the race for im
mortality the same conflict takes place as
in the phy sical world. The fittest only
survive in the process of spiritual evolu
tion. Mrs. Tom Thumb, who is now fortv-

NEW YORK, 184.
About sixty million copies of Thk Stn have
pone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all The Sun printed and sold last year
you woidd s,retacontinuousstripof interesting

from Print iwr House sipuare to the top of
Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way back to the moon asrain.
lint The Sl'n is written for the inhabitants
of the earth: thi same strip of intelligence
would jrirdle the jflole twenty-seven or
twenty-eifrht times.
If every buyer of a copy of Thk Sun during
the past year has spent only on hour over it,
ami if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in lss.' has af
forded the humanracethirteenthousund years
of steady reading, night and day.
It is oiily by little calculations' like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its inlluence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
The Si'N is, and will continue to tc, a news
paer which tells the truth without f-ar of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore be
lieves that the Republican party must go, and
mut go in this coining year of our Ird, lst.
If you know The 8l.v, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sun.- to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not

THK PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 18S4.
The Times will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be
fore in its history more widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
liercely criticized, with a more complete- or
ganizai ion, and an able ssoff of contributors
and with the same indejK'ndence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and ixjwerful
in the past.
The 1'imes 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 pub
lic welfare. Anil, while maintaining its ikjsI
tion as the leadintr journal of Philadelphia, it -will
aim to e continually in the advanco ln tli.
that can add value to a newspaier.
The value of a newspamjr 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 its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day ir
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
tate.
The Weekly Times is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty yean
ago. The day of those papers hare gone by.
The telegraph and lietter local newspapers
everywhvre, especially 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 theirformer greatness, anl
they have but a shadow of their former powr
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone: and, with it, they are going, too. It
was not the fault of the pajers: it was the im
provement of the country that brought about
tbe 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
