Ex-Governor Seymour, of New

that state last Friday. He was a
statesman of eminent ability and
had reached a ripe old age.

As long as this is a democratic
country, a citizen should not be re¬
quired to give up one office before
he may become a candidate ter an¬
other. The fact that he serves the
people in one capacity, should not
prevent a tender of his services in
another capacity. There is no im¬
propriety in a judge asking to be
made governor, and no impropriety
in his using every honorable means
i l his power to secure the place.
If our good brother of the Sa
vannah Local has anything to say in
the interest of silver, the fact that he
is not a United States senator or the
editor of a big daily like the Morning
News or the Times should not re
strain him from talking right out.
He mav not have as extensive a
hearing as he could wish, but this
need not deter him from properly in¬
forming the readers of the Local on
all topics of interest. He has just
as much righ to ventilate his views
on silver as President Cleveland has,
and in our opinion they are far
sounder.

THE TEMPERANCE MEETING,
r p] ]e Temperance Union met at
the appointed time last Thursday
evening at the residence of Dr. f.
Barnes. In the exercises the humor
Q us and pathetic were delightfully
intermingled, and the program was
unusually entertaining. At its close,
response to a call from the Union,
Mr . R A Russell of Chipley, made
a brief talk. While as he stated, he
did not believe in forcing temper
ance, he believed m it as preached
f rom the pulpit, taught around the
hearthstone, and instilled by temper
an ce societies. He considered the
-work in which our Union was en
gaged in a noble woik, and regretted
that temperance societies did not ex¬
i s t in his boyhood. He gave excel
lent advice to the boy, present,which
they wiU do well to remember as long
