Republican Feud i'm New York.

We copy this dispatch from Western
exchange:
New YORK, September lit is thought
that the speech delivered by Horace Gree
ley, at the meeting of the Republican COM
mittee last evening, is evidence that the
committee intend to keep up its organiza-
ton, regardless of the action of the State
convention. The meeting provided for the
election of delegations to the State, county,
Senatorial and Assembly conventions on
September II, three weeks before the State
convention assemblies Mr. Greeley said in
his address, however, that his committee
would TAX e care that there would not be
two Republican candidates in any district,
and it would show that it was ready to act
with the Republican party, as delegates to
the convention might make plain to them.
He said the great issue would be the qses-
ton of reform in the city government. Many
prominent Republicans are already specE-
Iating on the course of the forthcoming
questions affecting national politics. 1t is
recommended that the State convention
make issue on municipal reform. The Fee
ming Post thinks many Republicans Will re-
fuse to commit themselves; and, further,
that it is not necessary to assume that if
General Grants denomination is not recon-
mended the State is opposed to him. The
question of the Presidency simply has
nothing to do with the contest. 1t will be
early enough to nominate the candidates
for President after the present canvass is

Vice President CoIfax Interviewed.

CHICAGO, September While Vice Pres
ident Colfax was in StiPaul ON Monday the
St: Paul Dispatch sent reporter to inter
view him, particularly to ascertain whether
the statement recently published, that he
intended to retire from public life was not
ruse. and whether he did not really intend
TO be a candidate for the nomination of
President before the next national Repub-
ican convention. Mr.. Colfax replied to the
reporter promptly and bluntly, that he was
for Grant against the field, openly and above
board. The reporter having alluded to the
recent statement in the New York Standard
that the Greeley-Fenton wing of the Repub-
lican party in New York were intending to
bring him forward as candidate, Mr.. Col
fax responded to him as follows:
There is nothing in it. have had no
communication with them, and l am for
Grant unqualifedly. The people laugh at
me, and don't believe Inc when say 1 am

BENJAMIN +. BUTLER.
Summary of His Speech at worcester
An Enthusiastic Reception.

WORCESTER, Mass, August 81.
General B. +. Butler was greeted with
an audience of not less than three Thousand
people at Mechanics Hall in this city to-
night The inclemency OF tne weasner
seemed TO have made no difference to those
who were anxious to hear the Generals adj
yocacy of his views and his reasons for be-
coming candidate for gubernational hon
ors. for the building was packed to over
| flowing.
The General opened his remarks with an
allusion to the fact that this was exclu-
sively a peoples meeting, and that there
were no preliminary invitations to take
seats upon the platform.
The Republican party, he said, launching
at once into the depths of his subject, accuse
me of endeavoring to break up and disor-
game their ranks because i have simply
said if anybody was willing to vote for me
for Governor was willing that they should.
Ny action in this matter, they claim, is un-
grateful, because they say they have made
me what | am. Well, let us look into this
matter. / am a candidate for Governor
now. Eleven years ago occupied SINH
lar position. But it was at the head Of the
Demo ratio party, which received more
votes then than it has ever done since.
In regard to my military position. which
they assert to be due to their efforts, can
say that l entered the war as a Democrat,
anu UUdU every piOulUtNou witch nav
gained has been due to myself, and myself
alone owe the Republican party nothing,
butte weed from it those politicians who are
working its ruin, and that labor mean to
try to perform.
The General took up the charges which
had been made against him by newspapers,
and fred hot shot right and left into their
ranks. The Springfield Republican, he said,
was entirely outside of the pale of civilized
society, and he would drop it tonight for
ever The Boston Adce,fiser and Journal
and the Hartford Coo'aat also came in for
share of his attention and were handled in
peculiar manner. Afterreading and re-
plying to structures which had been made
upon him, the General declared determin-
alton to fight his own battle against news
papers, and he would do what he deemed
to be right.
He concluded with general review of
the topics under discussion in the cam
paign, avowing his championship of woman
suffrage, labor reform and the prohibitory
liquor law,
At the close of the address the General
retired amid loud cheering.
