James Mulligan, says a Boston speclal

more than thirty years, and always occu-

In all of them he has shown himself an
exemplary citizen, and no mans word

Fisher when he passed through bank

and was in no wise responsible for their
being given to the world. When called
to Washington in 1876 to testify he was a
most unwilling witness, but the facts OF
Mr.. Blaine's transactions with Mr.. Fisher
were forced from him by the action of
some very prominent Republicans in this
city.

Perry and Pope.

The contrast between the enthusiasm
in Florida awakened by Gen. Perry's can
vass and that of Mr.. Pope is so marked
that it excites very general comment.
Gen. Perry is everywhere received with
manifestations of welcome, and every
courtesy is shown HIM. His audiences
are large and enthusiastic. He is over
whelmed with attentions. Mr.. Pope ap-
pears 20 have a pretty hard time OF It,
His white supporters are comparatively
few, and the negroes care nothing Tor
him. He fails to awaken any interest
among his cOlOred supporters. The re-
ports of the press are that in some places
where he has held meetings he has mad
so few to hear him as hardly to make IL
worth his while to speak.
This condition of affairs is as 1t ought u
be. The Democrats have no occasion to
waste their time on Mr.. Pope, and the
negroes have no reason to expect any
recognition from him if he should be
| elected. Both parties know that in Gen
Perry the State will have a Jealous
guardian of her interests, and that the
rights of all classes of people will be re-
| spected and protected.
Why, then, should either party bother
| itself about Mr.. Pope? Neither party
does now, and neither party WILL to any
| great extent, at the election.
