JACKSONVILLE, June -This city has just had its municipal election. The winning candidate for mayor was Judge George M.

Nolan; and his antagonists were Capt. N. G. Toomer and E. G.

Blair-all Democrats and well-known citizens. Judge Nolan was making the race for a second term and was bitterly fought by his two opponents, who lost sight of many things that might have been good campaign issues, and waged an unrelenting war upon Judge Nolan for what they claimed to be unpardonable sins of omission. Chief among these was the charge that he had failed to force an ordinance passed more than a year ago by the city council requiring the seating of passengers on street cars according to races. The State Legislature of Florida, about a month ago, passed a law for such separation of passengers on all street railways in the State. It is needless to say that such a law is tremely distasteful to every colored citizen, and to some white citizens.

Hard work was done by the lobbyists to defeat the passage of this bill before the Legislature, and but for the disloyalty of legislators the measure would not have passed. In the mayoralty race there were reasons to believe Judge Nolan would be badly beaten, judging from the fight that was made upon him, but it was not so. Hiselection is viewed as a triumph of the liberal minded white citi zens of Jacksonville. This is said because the colored men, though voters, and in no way prevented from voting, will not qualify themselves by paying their poll tax and registering. The voting population of Jacksonville, as to white and colored races, is about evenly divided, and yet hardly one thousand AfroAmericans are qualified.

The election of Judge Nolan is regarded and esteemed as a rebuke to the ugly race prejudice which Capt. Toomer and Blair sought to stir up. The election of members of the city council came up at the same time. The sixth ward in the city is composed almost wholly of colored citizens. The candidates for councilmen were J.

Douglas Wetmore, Geo. E. Ross, W. A. Middieton, W.

S. Jones, C. C. Manigault, C. H.

Hagan, and a little white man by the name of Andrew. Wetmore and Ross were up for reelection, and were backed by different factions. Manigault was nominated with Wetmore and Jones with Ross. It was a fight with alt of the characteristic beat and enthurunning with personalities of the treme kind. At the start it looked much like the field against Wetmore, but as it so often happens in political contests, the opposition went just far enough to turn much of its own following to Wetmore's support, and at the polls on election day there were those moving in sweaty haste for Wetmore who were thought to be his opposers.

When the votes were counted it was found that Wetmore had led the whole ticket, and he will sit in the city council for the next two years. The street car law, passed by the Legislature, is to go into effect on the 1st of July. There is a well defined apprehension on the part of some, but those who have kept an intelligent record of affairs are not apprehensive. The Jacksonville Street Railway pany is composed of Boston capitalists and its manager here, Mr. W.

H. Mclean, is a whole man. What he has done in the past to have equal accommodations for all passengers is well known, but strange to relate, an alliance of some of the pastors of city churches, prematurely as well as unwisely, has had printed and propogated a circular, announcing a boycott by Afro- Americans on the street cars. The law passed is vague and indefinite, and it is the opinion of some lawyers that it cannot stand Supreme Court scrutiny. The progress of the city is steady and Assuring.

The Capital Trust Company, a bank owned and managed by colored men exclusively, with Mr. S. Hart na president, is standing its test well, and is constantly increasing in business popularity and patronage. The Florida Baptist Academy, Prof. N.

To the Editor of the NEW YORK AGE: As one who had the honor of participating in the splendid banquet given by the MedicoChirurgical Society, at the Hotel Maceo, on the night of the 15th it affords me infinite pleasure to add my testimony to the sentiment of solidarity which characterized the function. It base been my privilege to attend few public functions given by an organization of the race, at which the principle of genuine cohesion was so conspicuous a feature, as it was at the banquet abovementioned, and which formed so re-assuring An outlook for the colored physicians of the city.

The harmony of sentiment which prevailed in matters involving the common interest and underlying the general advance of the colored branch of the profession, was as impressive as it was commendable. I was especially impressed with the responsiveness of the profession to the sound, practical, and timely advice of the distinguished guest, Dr. Daniel H. Williams of Chicago, who made the principle of sympathetic co-operation and mutual assistance the text of his address. To an observer, that principle was so manifest in the tout ensemble and general attitude of the medical element of the banquet toward one another, that, it is warrantable to infer, the spirit which divided the units of the profession into hostile groups has given place to the conviction that the higher development and appreciable advance of the individual members of the profession find their surest and most reliable guarantee in the principle of collective and sympathetic, rather than in isolated and antagonistic action, because, as a distinctive group, and destined to remain so by an public sentiment, the principle of organic cohesion, racial solidarity, and professional confraternity is the only base whereon can be erected a durable and creditable structure of substantial progress.

Regular Correspondence of THE AGE. BOSTON, June chief attraction among the Afro-Americans of Greater Boston daring the past week was the address by Mr. Charles Chesnutt, the eminent novelist and lawyer of Cleveland, 0., before the Boston Literary and Historical Association last Sunday afternoon in Parker Memorial Hall, corner of Appleton and Berkeley streets. Mr. Chesnutt announced at the opening of his address that an ambulance might be required to take his remains from the building after his utterances.

But there was no occasion for the ambulance. What Mr. Chesnutt said appealed to all sensible auditors present The only dissenting voice was that of the editor of a local paper, who was not backed by any other speaker. Mr. Chesnutt's subject was.

"Race Prejudice, Its Causes and Its Care." He found the origin of race prejudice in the United States not in any radical difference of race, but in the circuinstances of an unfavorable environment. He indicated in the reading opening of his splendid paper both wide and liberal informationconcerning the from growth and decline of prejudice. He quoted John Stuart Mill that "The attempt to deduce national characteristics from so-called peculiarities of race 19 one of the Mr. most vulgar of all historical explanations." Chesnutt learnedly opened the causes which have excited race prejudice in this country, and then surprised many of his audience by stating what in his opinion the remedies are. He declared that prejudice will be removed that in this removal we shall need more of both industrial and higher education than we now have.

We shall print in THE AGE next week extracts from Mr. Chesnutt's address. Those taking part in the discussion were Mr. Wm. Hazel, Mr.
