BEN. BUTLER AND COVER.
NOR HAWLEY.

Hon. Ben. Butler, who is Republican
candidate for Governor of Massachusetts,
on the Labor Reform Ticket, said in a
late speech at Springfield, that all the op-
position to him, in the ranks of his own
party, was instigated by personal animosi-
ty. Governor Hawley, of Connecticut,
was an outsider who had interfered against
him in Massachusetts, politics, because he
removed him from a subordinate command
for ineficiency and incompetency. Gen.
Hawley, replied by telegraph that the
''charge was an infamous falsehood, and
the man who uttered it a liar and black
guard that the last written communica-
ton from Butler concerning his (Haw-
ley's} conduct, was a copy sent him of his
(Butler's) recommendation for promo
tion." There is a lie out somewhere, and
somebody has been basely slandered. This
brave bandying of unmeasured compli-
ments is rather shocking to the straight
jacket morality of puritanical New Eng
land. General Butler has the inside track
as the Republican candidate in the "Old
Bay State"
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1871-08-31

In California, the Republican party is
torn into factions by its upprincipled lead
ers. The State and municipal elections
of San Francisco are coming on, and the
contest is over the lions share of the spoils.
1t is to be hoped that better counsels will
prevail, the dissensions be healed and the
party will deliver itself from the odium
of suicide.
Notwithstanding the pending anvas in
New Jersey, he who knows most of its
politics and the probable candidates of
both parties for Governor, literally knows
nothing. 1t is a healthy sign that their
best men refuse the candidacy. The
Democrats are in a dilemma as to their STAN
dard bearer, and nothing less can be said
with satisfactory certainty as to the Re-
publicans. Truly, the political atmosi
phere of little Jersey" is improving.
