From the Tribune of yestcrday.l
MIR. Charles Francis Adams has been
a sore trial to The Democrats, first and
last, during .he campaign. He persists
in throwing bucket of cold water over
them every chance he gets. Here he is
saying to Herald correspondent about
his prospects in Massachusetts: "In this
matter / can hardly regard myself other
than fancy candidate, for no one will
be more surprised than myself if | find
l am elected. | have been repeatedly
urged to take part in the cam
paign, but (with smiley that is ent ire
ly out of the question" This is pretty
bad, but Mr.. Adams goes beyond it by
actually showing an unmistakable ad-
miration for Butler. He said: II pre-
sumo that the Important feature OF the
Massachusetts canvass is the contest of
Gen. Butler with Judge Hoar and Mr..
Tarbox. In fact, the whole country
seems to take lively interest in Gen.
Butler. He is very remarkable man,
and although he has good many stub
born enemies, like Judge Hoar, yet he
has hosts of warm friends all over the
State. He has a good many obstacles
before him, but l feel that he will be
elected. and il he is it will demonstrate
that he controls the RepuDli-
can party of Massachusetts. He is
immensely popular all through Essex,
Middlesex, and that part OF the State,
and also has great strength down Cape
Cod way, as we'll as up in the western
part OF the State. One of General But
ler's misfortunes has been that he has
always been borne down by lot Of
hangers-on. like Loring and Simmons,
who always appear upon the surface at
the wrong time. Simmons, in particu-
lar, has been q burden to General But
ler. Ii he had not sh0uldered him as he
did, think he might have got the Re-
publican nomination for Governor"
This paragraph is particularly interest
ing when 1T is considered that Mr.. Ad-
ans supporters have been doing their
utmost to prove that Governor Rice had
tender side for Butler. Suppose Mr..
Rice had spoken OF the General as Mr..
Adams has, what a yell of delight there
would have been from the Massachu-
sets Democracy.
An Albany letter observes OF the
Greenback party in that section what is
doubtless true of it throughout the State
that it's vote is drawn mainly from the
Democratic ranks. There is no proba-
6ility, however, that the Republican
blunder IN Indiana is to be repeated in
New York under Democratic auspices.
Once lis enough with mistakes of that
kind, and the Greenbaok candidate for
Governor is more likely to have offers
from both parties to come out Tor the
other side than to be asked for a
preference which so recently proved IA
tai. Meanwhile another correspondent
speculates upon the iuture OF the Green
back party i'll general, predicting ttaaL
Democratic defeat will ha almost EQUIV
alent TO 9:sDand0NMent, and will turn
over q large share of its voters to the
Greenbaok movement. Those well.

TildeR with the idea that Democratic
victory will bring Democratic "chaos"
might do well to consider whetRer Dem.

road,
From the World of yesterday
1t is difficult TO preserve patience
when listening to the shallow and ma.
lignant stories by which the Radical
press seeks to represent the Democratic
party as hostile to the public credit.
We have already stated our well-founded
belief that Secretary Morrill, does not
counteAance these absurd attacks,
which are really aimed at the public
credit, though their stupid authors
Democyatc party. To show our ira.
ducers in what position they place
their own leaders, we recall three i'm
portant dates. the st. Louis Conven-
tion, with its financial platform, dates
from June 2S; the Democratic House of
Representatives repealed the "Resump-
Ton Day" clause on August 8; Seere-
tary Morrill, signed the contract with the
Funding Loan Syndicate on August %.
The eminent fnancier and Democrat
who is now so obnoxious to the
Radicals Was as much a. Democrat
then as now, and the signature of
his powerful house, august Belmont &
Co.." is the first Of the tour which repre-
sented this Syndicate in that contract.
Tne chances 9: the eleetiop we're aL to
come; and yet, With The st. L6tiis Con-
vention two months past, and the "Re-
sumption Day repeap three weeks old,
no official, either out of his senses,
dreamed OF any danger to the public
credit in any possible result. The pres-
ent charges are an idfotic afrerthought,
tardtly conceived after the Republican
route in Indiana; but they Will not
s.wash' for the 7th Of November.
From the Times of yesterday.I
That Gov, Hayes has always been In

have had intercourse with him since his
nomination il is also Known that his
most trusted friends and advisers are
such men as Schurz. Hx-Secretary Cox,
George William Curtis, Stanley Mat

tion of Gen. Hayes to the Presidency
will be triumph OF all that is noblest
and best in the Republican Party.
