Florida Senator Wants Governor to Withdraw Praise of Lincoln. Tallahassee, Fla., May 18.—State Senator Broome declares that if Governor Gilchrist does not send to the general assembly a special message withdrawing the statement contained in his inaugural message in which he referred to Washington, Lee and Lincoln as "the three greatest Americans," he will introduce a resolution demanding that the governor take back his words. He said the statement was a reflection upon Stonewall Jackson and others.
