who started her up and renamed Win nes, SAYS
that when ne left at $50. the main belt was uncut
and unbroken. The consequence OF the perform
ance and the results from this conspiracy were
that several OF The most Important Democrate
Wards in Boston had not their tickets furnished
them until a late hour in the morning, although
quite three-fourths of the votes were thrown be-
lore o'clock that were thrown in that day. II is

Rep.- DO you think that the Republican Govern

Governor Builer.-No, / defy them to do that
The three principal things have done are to re-
form the State Prison, reform the Insurance De-
partment and get the Marshes out of 1ewksbury
and put that Institution into decent condition,

State Prison, Tarbox from the Insurance Commits

ing stress the election Ii is the votes that
wanted in 1854, not an election in 1855. If the
vote OF Mr.. Robinson ana myself had been the
same as that of Bishop and myself last year and

Garfield within 0.000 votes, increased total
