raid:
Boston, Ostober 2 To the First
Editor Of The Herald: I we'll know tho
opposition shuil meet with in giving
the following facts to the public. and 1
alone am responsible for the statement
[ nm about to nuke. The question is
asked, what is Butlerism? 1t Is ohlca-
merry. frand aud oorruption. For three
years, as Uuited States officer, in Gov,
ernment hours aud using Government
time, have done that tor the Butler
party which at this moment brings u
blush of shame to my face. I have
gone to New Bedford, Lawrence, Fall
River, Salem nnd other places, aud
have used the power L possessed as
United States officer to intlmidate men
in the liquor business into working aud
voting tor B. f. Butler. I have,
while an ofiioer, packed osuous.55 III
Boston aud the other places mentioned
above. in tho interest of Butler. I
we'll Know that Butler, with all the
power he has, will enueavor. as his
leaders have stated, TO crush me; but
fearlessly l give to the public these
facts, aud hold myself resnlutely re.
sponsible for what [ say. have re-
oeived money from United States Mar
shall Usher aud other Butler men to
carry out the nefarious work of But
lerism. While in New Bedford, Just
before the Butler caucuses. last year,
l received money from the hunds Of
Buffers partner, to carry on the eau
ouses there, and money was used for
] that purpose. I received mouey from
| Usher to go to Fall River aud pack the
caucuses Tor Butler. [ stand ready,
ny young mau aud formerly a strong
| Butler man, to take the stuu.p In any
pluoe between the hills Of Berkshire
and the shores of Provincetun, to pro
claim 10 the Suite tue rottenness aud
corruption tllat fills to repletion the
Batter organization. I we'll know that
1 shMil be accused of treachery aud
| fa!sehood. but [ stand ready to meet
any Butler man, on nuy platform, IN
any place in this State, aud discuss the
merits of Butler. They will call me
insane, perhaps, but every man who
kno VS. me, aud knows my record as Il
soldier and citizen, will say that mean
just what l say, aDd have courage to
back IL up at any time aud III any
time. l hold mysclf personally respou-
sibie for every word utter. aud 1t is
my earnest desire to speak before the
people Of Salem as SOON us possible on
| this matter. / shail be attacked on
every side by the Butler men. whu
have been my friends; but with truth
on my side and possessing the pluck
to speak, [ defy them, one and all, and
L now throw down my gage.
