a communication from an esteemed
correspondent and friend on the
congressional contest AZ he claims,
this section has never received the
appropriations that it is justly emit
tied to, but he is mistaken in think
ing it IN because this section has
had no representatives. in congress.
The democratic candidates have all
been from this section of the state

Hull IN ISIS and Doughcr,y in
1881, and Hull was for many years
resident of Suwannec county, thus
really giving south and east Florida
only one candidate in fourteen years.

Of being the home of Gov. Drew,

office. Ii our section will present
its wants to Doughcr,y in proper

good than any man from this see

Justly entitled to the denomination,

The position and aggressive attitude Of the
President with relation to pension bills, which
are confessedly Irregular, has warmed the
party up to him and greatly added to his
strength. Leading democrats are declaring
without Qualidca ton that he must be their
standard bearer ia 'sS, and that he is sure to
lead the party 10 victory. The opposition to
him which developed 30 suddenly with the
beginning Of his administration has been
steadily dying away, and the party has been
gathering around him and getting closer to
him. This has become most apparent within
the past few weeks. They have come to a
better understanding OF him, and tho power
the members Of Congress find he has over the
