THE BEN BUTLER CLUE,

Meeting Last Evening-Resolutions Adopted.
About three hundred and fifty of General
Buffers personal friends, war Democrats and
Republicans, permanent and temporarily,
residents in the District of Columbia, ::aet last
evening for the formation of "Ben Butler
Club" After the election OF officers, the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted
ResolgeG, Tnat our close personal observa-
tion of the proceedings of the last session Of
Congress demonstrated the necessity of active
and aggressive leadership on the Republican
side of the House to oppose the encroachment
of Southern Democratic or Confederate power
and TO counteract the influence of the North
ern Doughface Democracy.
Resolved, That in General B. +. Butler we
recognize all the requirements for that kind of .
,,;csdership, because while he was In the House
inn-eyious COM tresses he compelled the Opposi-
tion to respect and feS,- him as ready debater
and as a man whose wonusau resources Oh
political knowledge is unequaled.
Resolved, That we beseech the voters of
Lowell district, of Massachusetts, where Gen:
Butler is now candidate, to vote FL his
election, because we believe that vote for
him Is q vote that the war was not fought in
vain; that his candidacy is practically ma
.sioDal issue, and that every true patriot will
hail his success as an assurance that Massa-
chusetts, the cradle OF the Repuoican party,
is still true to the principles for which the
soldiers of the Union armies periled their lives
and fortunes.

A Hayes and Wheeler Flag Thrown to the
Breeze

A Hayes and Wheeler Flag Thrown to the
Breeze.
The Republicans of East Washington flung
TO the breeze yesterday afternoon a magnif-
cent burgee with the names of Hayes and
Wheeler imprinted upon it. A steady wind
from the west was blowing at the time, and
the well-prQportioned streamer looked re-
markably well on its first public appearance.
1t was accompanied to the masthead by a
beautiful American ensign. The raising OF
both was witnessed by a large assemblage Of
enthusiastic Republicans, while from the
adjacent corners a number of the old Copper
head element viewed the assent of the flag
they hated so cordially during the war. The
pole on which the flag and streamer were
hoisted is situated on Virginia avenue, near its
junction with Eighth street east. The pole is
11S feet high, and has borne aloft the names
Of the martyred Lincoln and the hero of Ap-
pomattox. The burgee raised on it yesterday
is ~ feet long, Is feet wide at the head and
tapers off TO a swallow-tail. The credit of
collecting the funds to defray the expense and
management of the affair is due to Captain
David Crouch. The burgee was designed by
Mr.. Edward F. Casey and made by Mrs.
Crouch. Mr.. VIM. L. Cowan, president of the
Twenty second district Republicans, had the
honor Of hosting it to the top of the pole.

The greatest remedy of modern times, for
the immediate alienation of paiu aud positive
quick cure, is without doubt, Benson's capcine
porous plasters. The public appreciates arti-
cles of true merit. Thousands of physi-
clans and druggists speak in glowing terms of
their great curative properties, who know
them tobe superior to any other known medicine,
and who unhesitatingly recommend them from
honest motives. They cure chronic and local
diseases which other porous plasters simplyre-
heve. Rheumatism, neuralgia, severe and
continuous aches and pains, pleurisy, lumbago,
sciatica, and all diseases in which porous
pIasters have been valued, are by Renson's
cspcine porous plaster instantly relieved and
quickly cured. Their reputation is without a
parallel in the history of true medicine; their
action is more powerful than electricity, and
yet they are purely vegetable and contain no
mineral or metallic poisons Try them and
you will not be deceived. Price 25 cents.
