Boston special gives an interview
with General Butler on his plans for

{Butler) the defeat of the Republican
party i'm Massachusetts. Butler says
he has no intention of entering the
lists as Senatorial candidate or for the
Governorship. 1t is not true that he
has been rendered foreign mission,
neither is there any truth in the ru-
mers that he intends to form new po-
litical party in Massachusetts. He
intimaked, though not very positively,
that he intended to retire from politi-
cal life, at the close of this present
term of Congress. % $50
