II was very small mecting-only ward
conventiOn-in Boston, that put Gen. BEN
JANiIN +. BUTLER in nomination for Presi-
dent, few evenings since. But lie hardly
required any formal action anywhere, or by
anybody, to place him In the field. As for
his own intentions we suppose he has always
hoped to be President. He was a bright boy,
and probably the idea entered his head
which was big enough for it-at very early
age This is right. 1t is an honorable am
bition. Gen. BUTLER has not to ask any
mans consent for the privilege Of indulg-
ing it.
How much strength as a can lldate Gen
BUTLER will develop depends largely upon
future events. lie is now spoken of as the
Greenback candidate. But it is not easy to
tell what this means There does not an
pear TO be a single man in public life whose
notions Of finance will not stretch further
than the most elastic India rubber, If he
thinks votes are to be gained by the stretch
ing Mr.. BAYARD tells us that questions
like the currency may well lie in allowance
until the freedom Of the ballet Is secured
Gen BUTLER goes as far as he who goes
furthest in favor of the freedom of the ballot.
What then? viii Senator BAYARD supnort
Gen, BUTLER for President He has an
aristocratic odor about him which would
combine well with Gen. BUrLERs popular
strength, making a powerful compound.
Possibly Mr.. BAYARD may run on the same
ticket as candidate for Vice. President.
One thing which Gen. BUTLER has To
recommend him over GRANT Is that he has
not already held the Office two terms.
Worse things might happen to tho coun-
try than to have Cen BUTLER its President:
still, we hope nothing worse will happen.
