Herald
Boston, Oct. 1.
To The Editor Of tic Nerafd:
1 well know the opposition I shall
meet with IN giving the following facts
to the public, anu I alone am respon-
make. The question is asked, what is
Butlerism? 1t is chicanery, fraud
and corruption. For three years, as a
United States officer in government
houses and using government time, [
have done that for the Batter party
which at this moment brings blush
of shame to my face. I have gone to
New Bedford. Lawrence, Fall River,
Salem and other places, and have used
the power ] possessed as q United
States officer, to intimidate men in the
liquor business into working and
voting for B. F. Butler. [ have, while
an officer, packed caucuses in Boston
and the other places above mentioned,
in the interest of Butler. [ we'll know
that Butler, with all the power he has,
will enGeavor as his leaders have
stated, to crush me, but fearlessly l
give to the pubic these facts and hold
myself personally responsible for what
I say. I have received money from
United States Marshal Usher and
other Butler men to carry out the nefa-
rious work of Butierism. While in
New Bedford, just before the Butler
caucuses last year, L received money
from the hands Of Buffers partner to
carry on caucuscs there, and the
money was used for that purpose Ire
ceived money from Usher to go 70 Fall
River and pack caucuses for Butler
I stand ready as young man, former
ly strong Butler man, 10 take tht
stump II any place between the hills
OF berkshire and the shores of Prince
ton, TO proclaim to the State the rot
tenness and corruption that falls to
the reputation OF the Butler organjza-
ton. l well know that L shall
be accused Of treachery ard falsehOod,
but l stand ready to meet any Butler
man on any platform in any place in
the State and discuss the merits OF
Batter. They will call me insane, pr
hays, but every man who knows my
record as q soldier and a citizen, will
say that | mean Just what / say and
that I have the courage to back it ny
at any time, and in any Place. I hold
myself personally responsible fol
every word I utter, and it is ny earnest

Dear Madam: Your welcome letter

the sound of battle, and, as you say,
little did l dream, when l knew you

Island beach, that should control a
vast army, pointing, like the smarms

and generous families that greeted us

indeed, any and all of our cherished
circle, their children, or even then
children's children, to come to me as

conviction would melt as snow before

strip my own children that they might
be sheltered; and vet they call me bar
bariaE, vandal and monster, and all
the epitbets that language can invent
that are significant of malignity and
hate. All [ pretend to say is, on earth
as in heaven, man must submit to
some arbiter. He must not throw off
his alleigence to bis government or his
God without just reason and cause.
The South had no cause-not even
a pretext. Indeed, by her unjustifi-
able course she has thrown away
her proud history Of the past and laid
open her fair country to the tread of
devastating war. She bantered and
bullied us to the conflict.
Had we declined battle, America
would have sunk back cowardly and
craven, meriting the contempt of all
mankind. AS nation We were forced
to accept battle, and that once begun,
it has gone on till the war has assumed
proportions at which even we, in the
hurlyburly. sometimes stand aghast.

Full returns of the Maine election
show an appreciable popular gain for
the Democrats after all. The Radical
majority in Maine has for years been
large or small according to the fullness
of the vote. In 1872, when the vote at
the Presidential election was 1868,
the Radical majority WAS 1926; and
in 1873, at the Governors election, the
whole vote was 70, 168, and the Radi-
Cal majority 1890. Now, in 1874,
the whole vote is just about 90, 800,
and Radical majority proportionate
to the fullness of the vote, if they had
held their own. would have been about
IA, 500, but it is only II, 800.
