j DEMOCRACY DEFEATED. % 1 The election is over, and Judge I J. B. Gaston, -republican, has de feated Colonel H. H. Dean, derrio- crat, for Mayor of the city of Gainesville. A majority of voters have said that they prefer a re publican to a democrat to be their chief executive. We accept , the result, and trust that Judge Gas ton’s administration will be emi nently successful, and that the city will grow and prosper. We opposed Judge Gaston, and we are proud of it. It is our na ture to fight Republicanism and to uphold Democracy. It is a principle that cannot be compro mised—-it is everlasting, and as long as we are able to “move ancf have our being” we shall continue to strive for that which should be near and dear to every citizen, especially every man of the South. It is a discredit to no man to go down in honorable defeat. The 237 staunch Democrats who stood up to the rock-ribbed principles of their forefathers need no sym pathy, but deserve the heartiest congratulations. They fought a good fight—they over-came many obstacles—they showed their true colors, and they are ready to-day to fight harder and better than before they went down in defeat. They are of the stuff which is born to fight Republicanism, and a call from their party falls not upon deaf .ears. That a Republican was elected Mayor is not their fault. It was done over their vig orous protest. In the recent contest party lines were clearly drawn. A number of the Democrats of the city who entered into the unholy alliance with the Republicans which re sulted in the election of Judge Gaston ten months ago, realized the great mistake they had made and endeavored to reclaim the city from Republican control. Be it said to the credit of Colonel Dean, he vigorously protested against the nomination of a It’s only a short.time, but we will make it interesting and profitable for you '. ‘ • *%\ ‘ V'.

He was also one of the first to come out boldly and endeavor to have Democracy over-ride Repub licanism. and place some good Democrat in the Mayor’s office. It was with great reluctance he entered the race himself, however, and only did so after he had been petitioned by a majority of the leading Democrats of the city. The lateness of the hour at which he allowed the use of his name did not give time to overcome the combined forces which had been formed by his opponent, and he was defeated. But that is neither here nor there. To the victors we extend greet ings. Not because they elected a Republican Mayor, but because they won. All battles must be fought, all victories must be won, therefore the successful are en titled to congratulations on win ning a victory. But they must bear the responsibility of electing a Republican Mayor of Gainesville. We protested against it, we will always protest against Republi canism, and will always fight for Democracy. We prefer to go down with Democracy in defeat, than,to triumph with Republicanism. Judge Gaston is Mayor. The Cracker is always for Gainesville, therefore it hopes Judge Gaston’s administration will be successful, and, as stated before, that the city will grow and prosper.
