GxxyRAL BurLER TO ANSWERED.
The late letter OF Gcueral Butler TO Judge Hoar, a
fun abstract OF which appeared in the HERALD, has
created the lvcliest comment throughout tho district
and fairness compels me to say that II has donc a
great deal toward nJurng the Judge in the estimation
OF many who than half committed 10
his support OF course such Wholesale criticism
could be allowed TO pass unnoticed and the answer
will como in few DAYS IN the shape Of az anony-
mously written life OF General Butler. II has been
prepared v,ry secretly and II Judge Hoar tho
actual writer Il may DO pretty ialry assumed that he
has at least had the supervision OF the work. " Is

gar wit OF d smart criminal lawyer. Let not cunning
arguments which, for selfish ends, Butler skuly ad-
to excite your local PRIDE have The weight aud

tho right to bolt whom man is nominated whose |
character and principles make HIM unworthy OF trust
and the party. The following history proves Butler 10
