from the Lowell district be smooth and un-
obstructed he and his friends have anticipated The
movement among his opponents, including what IS
generally known sthe blue bloods' and the Concord
clique. has ripened into formidable and determined
bolt this afternoon, with less person for the figure
head than +. lockwood Hoar, the gentle
whom President Grant honored by
making him his Attorney General or course,
It expected to elect Judge Hoar but the move is
To draw away enough votes from Butlcrt 10 allow the
democrats to rc-eect Mr. Tarbox. The watchword and
motto Is "Anything 10 beat Butler" and the boiling
republicans will swallow democrat most willingly
rather allow the irrepressble Essex and Middle
sex statesman TO crafty his Congressional ambition
TINS movement, which has resulted in putting tor
ward Judge Hoar, commenced about week since,
and had its birth at Young's Hotel in this city. This
afternoon Professor Churchill OF Andoyer, called tho

bisd, Judge Hoar himself In and expressed him
