JAcKsoNvnz, October IS, 1880.
My friends, we are On the eve OF great battle
and one that is to decide the coutrol Of the gov
ernment for the next four yeas, and, think, for
many years 10 come. We are al aware of the
fact that under Republicans the same unequal
and unjust ruling toward ths South win continue
Our Northern friends appreciate this condition
OF things toward you, and b connection with the
abuses heaped upon them, have resolved to break
down the party that has leld tyranical power
over them and you for the past fifteen years, in
the election OF General Hancock That it win
be done is ~ ceStatn a. We know the sun win
continue to rise and sci. The indications are too
strong to admit Of any dotbt; it cannot be pre-
vented, for the popular s.ntiment all over the
Union demands change, and it win be made.
The capital and business nen Of the North, out
side of bankers and politicians, THAT have been
profting by Republican ruiz see the necessity Of
the change, and have resol-ed IL shall be effected
1t is in the grand battle onthe Cd of November.
when national and not Snte policy is TO be AZ
fected; the work win be accomplished, and it
will be well done by the triumphant election of
Hancock
With this assurance, what is our dutya Is it
not that Florida shall stand boldly and proudly
ia sAe Deaaoor~tic ooluma o6 D-----~- S.----s,
with majority OF thousand, and claim in com
mon the glorious triumph that il certain to be
our rewardi It cannot, however, be accomplish
ed by Indifference or by want Of ezertion on the
part Of the Democracy in every portion of the
State Have every man make himself Commit
tee of One, and work with energy from now until
the day Of election. He must not only deposit
his own vote, but must see that all his neighboTs
get out to the election; II necessary provide the
means for them to get there and Aase them dhsvs.
This is religiously our duty, and beg Of Demo
Gratis all over the State 10 heed my appeal.
The cistizg stGtcsmen who have been here for
some days have left, and assure my readers
they did so with no Taih that Florida could be
carried for RepuhIicanism. wish I had space
TO give you full report Of the conference with
Bisbee and the Republican leaders. Sufficient,
however, to give you AL mixing only-it amount
ed to this: They found the triangular war going
on between Bisbee, Ledwith and Conover 70 be
70 bitter that it cropped out in all their confer
ences. and showed them plainly that each was %
intent upon bis own personal interests and ad-
vnncement that the electoral ticket was only q
secondary matter to them, and that in the can
vass they had made the eleciorni ticket had been
given The 90 b. in the intense personal desire to
AdvAnce their own tnteEests on The part Of each
and all Of them that they lad destroyed esen
q hope OF GAr6eld carrying the State, and they,
did not hesitate in expressing their disgust at the
condition they found the Republican party In
here At one time Bishee had them captured 10
furnish means 10 aid him. bat Conoser's friends
stepped in and upset the kettle Of 6sh 50
nicely prepared BY Bisbee. They showed up
Bisbee and bis cOmmittee wok, aided by Jenkins,
in trying 70 kin OF Csnoves from ihe word go
after the cOnvention, and they showed ths,
Bisbee had cOntruIled Jenkins and even the State
Committee, as well ss his OWE Congressional
Committee. Conovers friends sat down ON Bsbee
% hard, and showed him upso efectually, Bsbee
was dropped like hot potato.
The diAgust was thoEough and convincing after
asteDding enc Of Lee and Lacss' nseesisgs snd
hearing ths7diagnsting tirads against the indie
pendent county ticket Abbott and Greeley had
talked with the visiting Statesmen and gave them
an insight q to how that disreputshIe crew had
