journal:
The 5 IN is the newspaper for the poo t.

The poor man, or for the the poor man

equal justice to all interests in the COM

son, class, sect or party. There need he
no mystery about its loves and hates 1t

Butler does not appear to be
much discounted by his defeat.
During lis last speech in Boston, h e
received the following telegram from
one of his staunch supporters: eve
have lest, but you have polled over
one hundred thousand votes" This
was handed him just after he had
finished his remarks, who, after read -
ingit, passed it to his son, who in turn
passed it to the gentlemen present.
Butler is said to have display ed
not the slightest feeling, but rather
seemed inclined TO make light of his
defeat.
