and his friends don't mean that Bisbee shall be
elected; and it has % been given cut slI aloag

ever they can get Q vote Tor Bisbee, and that's
the way the thing is working.
Ny fighting friend, Ledwith, Is not considered
Of any account by either Bisbee or Conover, and
the /" tail to simon's kite goes wagging along
as best 1t can and not noticed by either Of them.
They beth laugh at Ledwith In his vindication,
but they say Bisbee misses Lefiwith vesy mnch
on the stump, for he has no one now to point at
as repentant Confederate, and ont Of which
reference Bisbee afforded so much amusement 70
his audiences in his speech at Ledwith's expense !;
all Of which Ledwith swallowed quickly, not
seeing Bisbee was using him as the fool in his
circus. The campaign, SO far as The Republicans
are concerned, is about over; they have all made
their dying effort, and they are completely ex-
lmusted for further fight. Their guns have been
spiked and they are powerless for evil to the
Democracy. They are now wholly devoted 10

Visiting Statesmen from past experience in
Florida are not considered as men of the highest
character either morally or politically-we have
them again among US, and must therefore begin
TO lock our doors and be on our guard generally
for whenever they come around we are certain
something be stolcn-past experience warrants
Us in this belief They are here-6rst came EN-
bassador Hughes, and now comes to his aid the
Hon. Charles J. Noyes. and one c. B. Callender,
and both from Massachusetts,. Noyes was like
Hughes, determined to let Us all know who he
was, for understand when be registered at his
hotel here, he wrote out Hon. Charles ]. Noyes,
Speaker House Representatives, Massachusetts
No getting over that 10 let every one know the
honor conferred On this benighted State by the
presence of 80 distinguished statesman as
Noyes. OF course they with Hughes will fix up
matters that viii make Florida o K, but
" nous cerroas" as the Frenchman would say-I
am on their track sharp aud keep il fresh all
the time. Speaking of Hughes, our Republican
friends of the Independent class, are in a great
glee over q telegram said TO be in town, which
reads something like this:
We know him well-a dead beat-look out
for him-he is wanted here"
don't know what all this means, but il looks
very suspicious perhaps "he may be wanted )"
to aid politically in Brooklyn. Hope no such
kilograms win come from Boston 10 cause the
other two visiting statesmen 10 leave before they
get Florida matters fixed to their satisfaction
Heretofore, visiting statesmen have been sent 10
insure an honest count, but now they are seat

/ am mad at Simon-he is making q great
ninny of himself-he is getting into the ways Of
Horatio and Ledwilh and am forced to expose
some of his indiscreet sayings and must call his
attention to the following conversation which
viii give almost word for word as it came from
his mouth. II / do him injustice am always
open to correction:
Question. DR.. tConover) what is the matter
with Dennis and Bisbee down in Alachua ?"
Answer. "Well, it commenced by Bisbee
having all Dennis friends turned out of once.
Bisbee will be beaten, and am glad Of Il he h
the worst man ever knew-a much worse man
than Hicks"
worst enemies Florida has ever had look at his
speeches in Maine and elsewhere r
DIR. G. You think SO because Hicks blcais cut
every thing Bisbee carries IL in his heart, ana is
at heart a much more bitter and vindictive man,
and the most thoroughly selfish man l ever
knew"
Q. Doctor, you talk fairly enough, and seem
to be very liberal man, bat suppose you wsrs
elected and should die--Ledwith win not perhaps
take your view of these matters!p
DR.. G. "Oh, the Democrats can basy sp Lelssitk
easily enough he is always ready to sell out TO
the highest bidder, rs his whole political course
shows In fact, doubt very much if Ledwith
win even vote the Republican ticket"
Now, Simon, we want LedEith To keep On
vindicating-we don't want the khsss sids sbsss
broken up until November-I fear Bishee might
follow Ledwith's example. The best thing you
all can do is to keep mp the backbiting. Hisbee j.
