Didu't we tell you that the crop would sprout suddenly and be a most profuse one? We tip our hat to the Tampa Times as being ahcad of all other papers in the country in announcing the nomination of Governor Marshall for' vice president. The Times put the “news" in a big headline at { o'clock yesterday afternoon (though tnere was nothing in the dispatches it published to indicate the occur- rence), whereas the nomination was ot made until eight or nine hours Juter. 1t certainly was a masterly handling of the situation but sup- pose, as MIGHT have happened, the convention had chosen some one else besides Marshall? SR AR AP S The result of the Democratic con- vention at Baltimore is highly grati- fyving to all who are interested in the suceess of Democratic principles. 1: is conceded on all hands that a strong ticket has been named, and that the chances of party success Luve been strengghened by the action of the convention. kExpression from the most prominent newspapers in the country, as well as the shrewd- est and most influential public men show that the standard bearers of Democracy have the respect and will have the united support of all wings of the party, besides drawing many votes from the progressive element of the Republican party. The plat- form and the men are not only merely unobjectionable, but are suci as to awaken enthusinsm, and, un- less there is a radical and unlooked- for change in the situation, an over- whelming Democratie victory in No- vember is a cortainty, PASS-A-GRILLE'S ATTRACTIONS WOULD CREATE LAWESSNESS. George Lizotte, the far-famed rass-a-Grille hotel host, gives some of the reasons why the Pinellas cour house should not be located at Pass- a-Grille, the article below appearinge in the St. Petersburg Times: “Naturally, all outsiders argue in its favor; but there is great objec tion and, citizens, think well over this that it would be an incentive to crime throughout the county at least, misdemeanors that would ob tain arrest and a jail sentence to such a lovely place “The office-seckers for the privi- lege of living here would do almost anmything in the political calendar to set elected Lawyers will aceept any case, so as to make the trip.
