Call and Governor Weigh Two Florida Senate Choices
Tallahassee reports debate over whether Call will receive a certificate or if the governor will appoint. No action planned this week as Governor Fleming handles legislative duties amid party tensions. A Jacksonville tussle between Barrs and Harris sparks anti-Call sentiment while Sen. Smith pledges loyalty to Call’s opponent under Democratic influence. Elsewhere, brief dispatches from New York, Boston, Rome, and Atlanta note insurrection suppression in Hayti, major fires, riots, and a prominent death.
