The administration Of the government

the party that strives hardest to win.

In the election to-day it cannot be too
earnestly impressed on the people that
the first great duty of every citizen is the

more, do not fail to observe them.

Speaking of the Radical howl over
the imaginary abuse of the convict sys-
tenn which bears 80 hard upon the party
BY putting its voters where they will do
the most good, the Live Oak Bulletin
aptly says: Il seems to us that the
memory Of these Republican orators must
be very vreacnerous II they forges .aas
the system Of hiring out the convicts was
engendered and inaugurated by the Re.
publican party during Governor Stearns'
administration. They never tell how they
were sent down to Eau Gallie to build
stone houses for Gleason, on the preteDse
that it was to be an Agricultural College
for the State. They never tell how Glea-
son undertook to build canal to connect
the Indian and st. Johns Rivers with their
labor. They never tell how the Republic
can managers hired them out to an in
solvent railroad corporation to build a
railroad from Lake George to Lake Eus-
tbs, and how for nine days at time they
lived on cabbage palmetto. They never
tell how, under their Republican task
master, down in that miasmatic region.
that they were for days at time thrown
into small cell, covered with round logs
and foered with the same material. and
80 low that very short man could not
stand straight therein. They forget to
tell how that the entire "a men turned
over to Major Wyse down at Lake Eus-
tis were half starved, half clad, weak and
worked nearly to death-not a pair of
shoes in the whole squad, and not pieces
Of blankets enough among the whole lot
to have made pair had every scrap been
all in one. They forget all this, Lord
bless their kind hearts and immaculate
souls. They forget that fine and beauti-
full homestead, farm and vineyards of the
Hon. Malachi Martins at Chattahoochee
that was erected at the expense of the
sweat of not only the convicts, but of
the honest taxpayers Of the State. They
forget all this, but when they see two
story brick house built by Major Wyse,
their hearts swell, their sympathies are
aroused, and they wildly remember that
the Democrats are in power in the State,
and with longing eyes they glance at the
State House, in Tallahassee, preach in
subordination and incendiarism to the
colored people, and pray to the good
Lord TO give them one more chance at
the poor convicts and the treasury of the
State.

Of the State, has drawn to Florida the

three years has brought to Florida more
bona tide immigrants than any ten pre-
vious years. and that in his opinion con-
tinnancs Of Democratic rule Is necessary to

words in other peoples mouths which

Bloxham, and those who hsvs 20 kindly
assisted him, has been the most laborioas
ever made in the State, and, perhaps, In
the United States. He has been into
sssst 6odztg, kab two. 1rlthsse excep-
tons. and many times At seysra points
In Che counties, meeting the people, face
. ACE and declaring to them the solemn
responsibilities which rest upon them.--
Much Of the canvass has been made by
private conveyance over bad roads and
across dangerous creeks, e. the writer Of
this article can testify by personal expe-
rience, but no difficulty has been too for
midable for the heroic Bloxham's energy,
and he has overcome every barrier rather
than disappoint the expectations of the
people. Take . map of the State, and il
will be found that Florida IL the largest
State east Of the Mississippi river, and
that but very small portion Of its vast
territory is accessible by means Of public
conveyance, and it can be seen 1t glance
what work it is to go through the State,
and though every county 10 the State,
from the Psrdido on the western bound
airy TO Key West, which is bathed in the
warm radiance of . tropical sun and
around which the Atlantic and Gulf min
gle their waters in ceaseless music. This
gives an IDEA of distanoe, hnt not . clear
idea of difficulty. To get this one must
cross Gum Swamp, near the Withlacoo-
chez river, travel from Manatee to Pine
Level; from Pine Level to Fort Green,
and get lost in the woods at night, turn
around few times and come mp 1T the
same place from which the start was
made; 60 from Barlow to Orlando, with
stores enough to last seven men and Eve
horses for two days, founder across Sad
die Greek, and swim Davenport and
Reedy Greeks. If one will make that
trip with q spiked team during a wet
spell he will begin to think that Governor
Bloxham is hero and the canvassers who
were with him are his peers.
Everywhere the Governor had appoint
ments he was met by very large numbers
of voters, who received him with stirring
demonstrations of enthusiasm. The larg-
est meetings ever held in South Florida
have been held during the present cam
paign, and the largest vote ever polled in
that section of the State will be the vote
polled for the Democratic ticket in the
coming election. The people there are
coming with laundering majorities across
the Withlacoochee and they will trample
under foot the Republican majorities that
may chance to be sent up from what are
called the black counties. The ed day
of November will be the date of def
ant storm of success for Democracy. To
the Republicans it will be as terrible as
the storm by which forests are rended
and navies are stranded"

The fOrger who put in circulation The Garfield
letter has been arrested. Will the Union and
the FaOy1didn now cease to charge Garfield with
writing the letter! We shall see-6un and
Press October 29M.
Our contemporary is easily duped. Does
the San and Press really suppose that
the "arrest :" is anything more than the
usual trick to help Garfield out of the
scrape his letter has involved him in p
The arrest is one thing-the conviction
quite another. Experts will testify
both ways-some that the signature is
not his Others that it ia. Garfeld's de-
NAL goes for nothing. Evidence is not
wanting to show that he is not truthful
man. In the Credit Mobilier case he
ssoOre that be received no stock or divi-
dends, and it was abundantly proved
that he lied. Every Republican newspa-
per in the land of any character, and some
without any character, said at the time
that he lied. The independent press, So
called, said the same thing. The New
York Herald declared, December 8, 1873,
that for Garfield TO talk of "virtue," af-
ter the Credit Mobilier exposure, was
" like listening to the Evil One counsel
ing sinners to pursue the straight, mar
row path" Nothing will satisfy think
ing people that Garfield has not lied in
this case as he did in the Credit Mobilier
matter but the conviction. by an impair
tial, non-partisan jury, of the party ar
rested, and this IL the answer the FLoR1-
DIAN has to make to the implied inquiries
of the Sun and Press.

When Marshall Jewell, Chairman of
the Republican National Committee, tele-
graphed to the Republican Collector at
Key West that three of Mallory's steam
ers had taken three hundred and fifty
men to Florida, he added: III
Men on dock instructed to say nothing about

The Democratic National Committee
have strewn the dispatch all over the land.
As soon as it fell into their hands they
gave it to the press, that it might be
known and read of all men. Such q course
on their part Is wholly irreconciliable with
the theory that the Democrats shipped
the colonists and directed the men on the
dock to keep still about it.
On the other hand, it is fully in keep
ing with the course since pursued by the
Republican Committee, who have taken
vigorous measures-even resorting to ls-
gal proceedings-to suppress the telegram.

Mr.. A. Langley, former resident
of Superior, but now leading farm
er out on the n P. near Wadena,
was in town this week attending to
some interests he has here.-Sqtper-
i0r Times.
We call the attention of our readers
to the card of J. NJ. Olsen in another
column. Mr.. Olsen is an old bust
ness man of St. Peter and has cast his
lot in Wadena, and we hope, as he
doubtless will, receive his share of
public patronage.
We are indebted to Mr.. H. F. Wit
ter for a generous mess of ice cream.
Having thus sampled Mr.. WIS ice
cream, we would advise our readers
to call at his restaurant and treat
themselves to refreshing dish of
cream, and see how it is themselves.
Messrs Staples & Lovelace are pleas
antly disappointed at the amount of
trade which they are receiving. They
are certainly genial and courteous
gentlemen, and once man buys of
them he is sure not to forget the
pleasant manner in which he was
treated.
Parties having notes they witch to
sell will do we'll to call on MI. E. E.
Luce, Wadena, who is prepared to pay
cash for reliable paper. Mr.. Luce is
a reliable business man of unquestion-
able integrity and we commend him
to those who may wish to secure money
accommodation.
At the NJ E. Quarterly Conference
this week, the following trustees were
elected:-John Knight, \. Langley,
C. II. Peake, L. F. Yeaton and J. w.
Hassan. The board will hold it's first
meeting this evening at the school
house after prayer meeting, at which
all interested in the erection of a
church are cordially invited.
The Journal asks how long it will take boiled
eggs to hatch. Well Mac, we will have chickens
from those eggs you speak of about the time Fern.
dale becomes the county seet.-N. P. Farmer.
We will take Il trio-two pullets and
a rooster, Bro. Hall.-Vernld0le Jolt3'7,-
al.
Yes, you'll trio so hard and pullet
two, and then not get a Hall, after
all. Call again.
From the W;ldena town assessors
report, we are permitted to make the
following interesting figures, as COM
parative for the years 1879 and 1880:
