To the Editor of The Daily Times: Having been solicited by a num ber of friends who have the best interests of Florence at hea^t, I respectfully announce to the citi zens of Florence, through the col umns of your paper, that I am a candidate for the office of Mayer. I wish to state emphatically, that I am not a candidate of any particular party or faction, and that I am not offering myself on any particular issue, but my plat form is, as it always has been, for good government, low taxation, economy, good roads, a proper, just and equal assessment on all real and personal property, enforce ment of the law's, and special privileges to none. I claim to have the interests of Florence at heart, being a tax payer and property owner, and, if elected, my endeavors shall all be centered on the upbuilding of Florence. My record as an alderman for the past three years stands for it self, and, if the line of policy as indicated above, is what the citi zens of Florence desire, I ask for their suffrage at the coming elec tion. Respectfully, Howard L. Odiorne. The municipal political pot is beginning to boil. P. A. Willcox, Esq., spent yes terday in Darlui£tQii. Mr. W. M. Marcus is lying ill at his home in this city.

The Laurada’s cargo is said to consist of 7,000 rifles; 1,/00,000 rounds of ammu nition, 25 tons of dynamite, 500 machetes aimI ^ ajp^/iy medicine aud surgical instruments. It is reported that the Laurada will return in a few days as soon as her cargo aud passengers are transferred to another vessel. Another expedition is said to have left the New Jersey coast near New York on the steamer South Portland, whicli sailed on Satur day ostensibly for Barraquilla, Central America. The vessel is reported to have been chartered by the Cuban Junta at S100 a day and security for 125,000 was given to indemnify the owners in case the steamer should be lost while on her voyage to Cuba. Her car go is a large one, including about 1,500 tons of war material. She also carries about 100 passengers. The South Portland was formerly the British steamship Caroline Miller. The Bermuda is also off the Long Island coast ready, it is said to carry au expedition which left New York on Sunday for Block Island, where the transfer is to be made. Thus far, it has been im possible to receive the cargo on board, owing to the heavy sea running in the sound.
