Why GRANT SUPPORTS BUTLER.
hoard littlo story, tho othor day, on good
Dutlor ii tfs contoHt rho roason was givan by
souator Boutwell, to an anxious inquirer who waa
On tho fence, and WAS aeBirous Of leopng up his
Status Of loyalty to tho party. hlr. Boutwell, is
having allowed tue Massachusetts clique to con
troll so mucl, Of public patronage ns thoy hnyo
hishorto, and that he throws hiu inluonco i'll
favor Of Butler in orlor to rid himself Of
any saoh liability in fatarg n e., Anothnr
is. that, in tho Presidential campaign, Butler,
by hiB personal Influence nud Hncrot manonvcr-
ings aud promises, kept moro Republicans from
doaorsing tho party aud supporting Hnraco
Grooley than my other man III Congress. Thogo
arc two woighty reasons, surely.
DISSATISFACTION WITH wA9nDURN.
Although the contest is virtually betwoen
Gov. Washburn aud Con. Butler, lot 1t not DO
hnve plain sailing oil tho time. 1t has boon
hard work to keep n breach from appearing,
aud m oron royot las boon threatoned more
tEnn once. Coy. Wasllburn III AZ cordially hated
by many OF his own supporters as is Dutlor by
reseort. strong movement was mado In tho
westorn part OF tho State to bring out Con. Dow
enB tho Comnlnnder-in-C Chief Of tho Grand
Army Of tho Ropuslc and Judge of the supG-
rior Court; hut the rononlnat tiol-nloyo,no1lt had
progressed GO far that tho Doyons men had to
givo up, aud consont to swallow Washburn with
aH caln. . face az possible. Washbnrn's radical
RCsn1toa 5el oo SSEs q aF0 dis st'ssSa arv to td tS
the only redooming thing they and is their be-
lief iii his honesty aud Willingness to do tho bo-
hestH Of tho party-leadory.
POSITION OF THE DEMOCRATS. :.
Tho nomination for Governor or tho Hon.
William Gaston by tho Democrats meaus q
square stand-up fight by tho loadorB of tho
party, with hope Of slipping in il. there should
be throo-cornorod content growing out OF n
Republican bolt. Mr.. GaHton is III intimate
business and socinl rotations with all tho leading
Republicans OF tho cnstorn part Of tho 8tate,
and. in case Of \ Republican holt, would COM
mard tho best wishes, il not the ontspoken sup
port Of large part Of the arti-Dutlor men.
llo has been Mayor Of Boston two terms, aud
would mako just about such Governor ~
Gov. Washbnrn has made, e,-eaay-going,
not 80 positive ~ to give cffonsa
His action. in yotoing The city ordinance al:
lowing tho opening Of tue Public Library on
Sunday. mado him nlnny local enemies among
tho poorcr claaseH and LIS inactivity, during
and after tho groat fire, loat him IN election to
the Mayora!ity for tho third term. Tlcso little
local matters would, howevor, be overlooked in
Gnbornatorial contest with Butler as the Ro-
publican candidate, mud no boiling ticket in tho
fold. R1x.
