Sullivan VS.. McCafrey.

The sparring match between John L. Sullivan
and Dominick Mccartney, did not end in a way
satisfactory to the sporting men. Sullivan got
the best of the fight, but Mccartney stood ur
for SIX rounds.
Sullivan left the platform with no demon
stratiOns in his honor, but McCatfrey's friends
were jubilant, Notwithstanding the referees
adverse decision, and they lifted him to theil
shoulder and bore him amid the cheers of The
spectators to his coming.
The decision was decidedly unpopular, prob
ably owing to the doubtful understanding OF
the terms. 1t was generally supposed that Sui
livan was to knock McCaffrey out in six rounds
in order to win, and Mccartney himself stated
after the match was over that he thought So
lie even wanted to go on to a finish but that
was impossible, as Sullivan had left the plat
form.
Mccartney has issued a challenge to Sullivan
for $4,000 and the championship of the world
with bare knuckles, the fight to be a finish. 1t
is to take place in Wyoming or in anv other
place where it will not be nterfered with, and
is to be fought within three months after sign
ing articles.
Referee Tate says be has made no decision.
He thinks John Sullivan had the best of the
fight as far as it went; but if the Boston boy
was to knock out Mccartney in six rounds he
failed, as the Pittsburger came UP smiling after
each round.

Dunton's EnGorser

Since the return of Chairman Brown 10
Washington he has looked into the Centre LIN
colnvllle case, and finds that he did not endorse
Dunton's application, but he did find among
other documents strong letter of endorsement
from w. NJ. Rust, upon whom the responsibility
for this appointment must now rest As Mr..
Rust took no steps to Withdraw his letter it is
evident he did not consider the fact that his client
had been convicted of defrauding the govern
ment and sent to Jail was of any consequence,
but the result of this moral obliquity on his
part has been to embarrass the Administration
he processes to support and to bring upon The
chairman of the Democratic State Committee a
good deal Of severe, but as now appears, IN
melted criticism. The trckery and treach-
cry shown in attempting to fasten upon Mr. =.
Brown the odium which properly belongs 10
himself is as we said last week, thoroughly
characteristic Of the editor of the Prog. Age
1t will probably cost him the loss of Mr..
Browns influence in his own behalf, if he had
il in the first place. He has not so many friends
in the Democratic. or for that matter any other
party that he can afford to stab one in the back.
as he has III this case. but no doubt his naturul
instincts are too strong to yield even to self-n-
tereSt.

Another "Eeform" Postmaster

When w. B. Rice, the postmaster at Unity,
resigned, man named Grant was appointed to
the place upon the recommendation of the State
committee man from Waldo county and other
party leaders. Grant is Democrat and has
clean record. but he did not suit some of his
party and Crosby Fowler and j. II. Taber called
a caucus to select a man better fitted to repre-
sent the Democracy of Unity. Grants friends
did not attend the caucus and Johu A. Vandeets
was declared the unanimous choice. Chairman
Brown was notified of this action and said that
If Vandeets was the choice of the party he
should be appointed, and he was appoint
ed. The friends of Grant are now on the
war path and declare that Vandeets must be
removed. and they base this demand upon
tne following facts: In April, 1879, Van
deets was arrested AMI taken before Justice
Rich on complaint of Thomas b. Cook, who
charged him with keeping gambling house.
Nandeets was found guilty and fined. For non
payment he was committed to Belfast Jail April
3, 1879. Charles Baker, now Il member of the
Democratic State Committee, was jailer at the
time and knows Nandeets well. Subsequently
Nandeets was removed from Jail on writ of
habeas corpus. AT the April term of the 5. j.
Court at Belfast, in 1879, he was indicted for
keeping drinking house, ETC., tried, and the
jury disagreed. He was subsequently tried
several times with a like result The case was
finally dropped.
1t is somewhat surprising TO find James Il.
laber, prohibtionist and temperance worker,
advocating the appointment to office of man
who has been indicted fot selling liquor. but
strange things are done nowadays in the name
OF temperance. Capt Charles Baker, Hon. j.
ID. hanson and Others are opposing Nandeets
but while better appointment might easily be
made, this is perhaps quite up to the average of
those under the present Administration

The Puritan has been selected to cope with
the Genesta in the contest for the Americas
cup and both yachts are undergoing active
preparations for the coming races. 1t is the
opinion of experts that the American sloop and
the British cutter are closely matched, and
everybody wants fair race and no favor and
to see the best boat win. 1t is worthy of note
that the Genesta has had her spars cut down
thus reducing her sail area so that she will
have a time allowance of about one minute
from the Puritan There is little if any betting
on the races at present. Some money was
wagered a few weeks ago at odds largely in
favor of the Genesta. But even bets are now
talked Of and it is not unlikely that the odd,
will be in favor of the Puritan before the day
of sailing arrives. Certain it is that confidence
in the Puritan is growing daily. A thoroughly
scientific yachtsman said recently that the Puri.
tan was simply a wonderful boat for going to
windward, and was sure to give Tie Genests
hard work to come out ahead on her straghtest
point. while in reaching and running she would
in all probability beat the cutter badly. Public
interest in the races is Unprecedented.

Senator Sherman's Speech.

The speech with which Senator John Sher.
man opened the Republican campaign at Mount
Gilead o., Aug. 26, was worthy of the man and
of the occasion. There is no discount on the
courage or the ability of the shermans. In the
field or on the forum they are ever found
front to the foe and battling manfuly for the
right. In his speech at Mount Gilead Senator
Sherman discussed fully and frankly the polit-
cal questions now before the people, summar-
lied in telling words the achievements of the
Republican party, and contrasting the perform
ances with the promises of the present Demo-
cratic Administration, Once the fight was for
of slavery. Now in the words of the speak
er, ''the question is the equality of the white
man, whether a Southern man in Mississippi
may, by depriving majority Of the legal vot
ers in the State of their right to vote, exercise
twice the political power of "a white man in the
North where the franchise is free and open and
equal to all" And this the Mugwump and
Democratic press call waving the bloody shirt
Yet, as Senator Sherman says: "The actual re-
turns of the election show that in all the South
ern States where the negroes are in majority,
they are either not permitted to vote or the re-
turns are changed"
The record of the Republican party, record
which Senator Sherman helped to make, is
worth reproducing. 1t is, in brief. the preserva-
ton of the Union, the abolition Of slavery, the
Constitutional amendments. the Homestead law, ,
a sound National currency, the maintenance of
the public credit. the refunding Of the public
debt at the lowest rate of interest, the security
of the rights of naturalized citizens a wise and
fruitful system of taxes, the protection Of
American industry by our tariff laws and the
resumption of specie payments, and, indeed,
every wise law OF Congress for "A period Of
more than twenty years. 1t should be added
that each and every one of these results was
secured in The face of the most determined OPP
position of the Democratic party on the battle
field, in Congress- or at the ballot box. Senator
Sherman's arragnment of the Administration
we shall print in full next week. As to State
questions he left those for other speakers,
touching only upon the temperance issue, dep
recating its introduction into politics, express
ing his conviction in favor of tax laws, and
laws restraining the liquor Traffic, and closing
his remarks as follows: what we want is a
Republican Governor, and his name is Foraker.
A Republican Legislature that will give you
wise temperance laws as well as wise laws up
on other subjects. Republican Judges that will
construe the Constitution of the Stale on the
side of temperance and good order, and Re
publican Senator from Ohio to the Senate Of
the United States Let US place Ohio where she
has usually stood. in the forefront of Republic
can States, for the Union, for liberty and jus
tiee to ALL without respect of race, nativity and

The following letter fom our George to the
Boston Globe relates to mule (and literary
theft:
Recently, | was reading The Sunday Globe
with great deal of interest and some princl-
pal, when came across an unusually interest
ing sketch, set off by large lettering entitled
''Fhe Mule" which you had copied from the
Dyersburg Crenn.) State Gazette. The more |
read of it the better liked it, but somehow it
seemed TO leave a taste in my mouth that was
very natural. Finally, it occurred to me that
had read it before, and in your paper. AS this
germ began TO grow and bud and blossom,
finally tumbled to the whole idea | had read
it in your paper, and the reason it seemed so
natural was that wrote it for you myself, and
got my pay for it, and spent The money and
borrowed some more All this YOU can verify
by looking at The Sunday Globe of July 4,
1877. There are about Il dozen lines in the
