The State Certain for the Democracy Not*
will:standing Idle Rumors.
Washixctox, August 1.???Information re
ceived here from the best posted and most re
liable sources as to the jsolitlcal situation in
Florida is regarded as settling beyond
micition or doubt its continued adhnronei to
the democratic party, and by larger majorities
than ever before obtained. The coalition of
rcpullieans and no-called independent demo
crats, which was finally consummated at Tnl-
Jahnsice a few days ago, is said to have b* en
cngii ccrcd almost if not entirely by tho*o who
exjcct personal profit mid advan
tage in cose of success, and not ono of whom
has such a record ns to beget public confidence
that win tevertbuscs may exist would bo rem
edied tl rough his instrumentality. 80 far
fr< m tin democratic leaders in Florida being
claimed oyer the prospect, they have never
felt more certain of success, and have never
had better reasons for their confidence. Two
el tl cm*it pr> tninentrepublicans in the state,
M*s rs. J og.ii* and Cheney, the latter of whom
Ih UiiiUd Himes district attorney, have |??ub-
iieJy r* pudit tt*! the coalition ai a picca ol *iis-
hoiori blf polit ca! tixifiic, and iiidbit. d that
they vould prt-.'cr democratic succesi to its

were ih*- mod active in forming tlu-co-
