grand eulogy of Gen. Butler was taken text.
ually from Tom Fitch, "the silver-tongued
orator" and ex-Congressman Of Nevada, on
the occasion OF the ratification meeting OF

console the wounded spirit of Speaker Blaine,
Fitch said Let me give brief utterance to
the feeling of the hearts OF many, thousands
of earnest Republicans etc; "and send mes
sage Of love and greeting to him who is lesser
than Macbeth, yet greater; fiery yet unoon- neon
querable-the Rupert Of debate, the chlval-

"Blaine" and put in Butler" and there you

on political issues and the coming presI-

his views, and, as a strong Democrat
gave all the credit TO his party possible.
He has no doubt we shall have q. Democratie

| it in power another day save Grant The CoEt-
seryative portion will not go for Grant, as
| they would at once admit the doctrine of nlili-
| tary force In place OF constitutional or civil
government. Thurman is the strongest In
the West and South, and can carry nov
| twenty-three States. Ohio will go for him
solid. Republicans Of prominence coneede
this much. Wallace, Of Pennsylvania, will be-
with him On the ticket as Vice President.

for Governor OF Massachusetts.
