thing to say about the use of his name
in the alleged confession of Col. Null

slciation of Manufacturers.
Gov. Haines had not seen the story
that was printed in the New York and
Boston papers. When he was told of
their purport and that Col. Mulhall
had used his name in connection with
others as being among those whom the
lobbyists of the association had no
difficulty in reaching and influencing
fer business, political or sympathetic
reasons during recent years, the Gov
ernor said:
Il am very glad indeed to observe
that the Democratic party is making
some claim to the possession of the
civic virtue. | have been waiting for
2F years to see a disposition among the
Democrats to lay claim to these poiit-

JAMES DONOHUE.

Rockland, July COLLECTOR Fred
ly in the alleged confession of Col.
Mulhall as printed in the New York
papers, yesterday, was in Boston, on
Monday, attending a funeral. Col.
Mulhall has considerable to say about
James Donohue, the former commits
sioner of Sea and Shore Fisheries.
When Mr.. Donohue's attention was
called To the interview. the former
commissioner said: Il have read the
story in this mornings Boston papers,
taken from the grand display made in
New York by this Mulhalfs confess
sion. SO far as it applies to Rock
land and Littleiield's campaign, it is
all rot. Mulhall was down here for
time at work claiming to represent
the National Association of Manufac-
turers. He passed most of his time
Dragging about what he had been

York. l never knew much about him.
When he says | Travelled over the

alone, shows how little he knew abou
what he was talking about He say
was the leader of the Republica,
party. when, as matter of fact,
never was leader of the Republican
or any other party.
If this Col. Mulhall We're re
