This practically removes Judge Gaston from the race, and even though he should continue on Kind receive a. majority of the votes, he could not hold the office, ■for the charter of the city of Gainesville as amended in 1898, plainly lavs no mayor can succeed himself in office.

Col. Dean was informed by The Cracker of the petition being circu lated requesting him to run for Mayor, and was asked whether or not She would accept the nomination. He replied t >at, although he had •not had time to consider the matter and did not know what he would do, he was always willing to respond to the call of the Democratic party, and if he did enter the race and was elected, he would serve the people to the best of his ability. He believes that Democrats should control the city government, and thinks the movement is timely and proper, though he would have much preferred seme one 8lse to make the race for Mayor. Col. Dean will decide as soon as the petition is presented to him whether or not he will run. It can safely be stated, however, that he will be in the race, for the petition has already been signed by three-fourths of the leading citizens of [Gainesville. The registration books close Monday night, and Democrats are larged to register today and Monday, that the election of Col. Dean imay be absolutely sure, and that he may be given a large and com plimentary vote. Democrats should see that all Democrats register. ■?his election of Col. Dean means that a staunch Democrat* and a Public spirited, enterprising and high toned gentleman will be Mayor, pnd he should be given a flattering vote by his fellow Democrats.

Brogan of Boston, who brightened and enlivened the already jovial crowd by his remarkable variations to plain old whistling. His skill in this direction is entitled to the prefix, professional. His singing too was a happy feature of the evening. The circle will gather with Miss Green next. time around her hearth, where genuine Southern cheer reigns undisputed.
