GENERAL BUFFERS CAMPAIGN.
New York Herald.

Y ! Cldlu
The friends of General Butler in ~calcula.
ting his chances of victory in the campaign
for governor estimate that he will poll sew.
enty thousand regular democratic votes,
thirty.tive thousand republicans and thirty.
dred and forty thousand, which lthey assert
Butler can develop this strength he will in
all probability be elected; but can he do it
To show the liberal character of his calcu-
lation for the figures of his friends as they
appeared in our columns yesterday and as
they are reproduced above, it is only neces.
sary to recall the votes of the last presider-
tial year. In round numbers the entire
number of ballots then cast was two hun
dred and fifty-nine thousand, Of which
Hayes received one hundred and fifty ,Eous-
and and Tilden one hundred and eight
thousand. The ssvote for Cooper was less
than one thousand, but Baker, the prohibit
ton and greenback candidate for governor,
received a little over twelve thousand. !Ac.
cording to General Buffers present rose col.
ored outlook he will cut down the republican
vote for Hayes from one hundred and fifty
thousand to one hundred and fifteen thous-
and, and the democratic vote for Tilden
from one hundred and thirty-eight thousand
to thirty. eight thousand. This would give
him only one hundred and FIVE thousand,
which is ten thousand less than the repub-
lican with the Butler guard drawn off. OF
course this result of his complicated arith-
metical problem does not suit him, so he
again goes to his multiplicatio tables, and,
more than doubling the greenback; vote of
1876, he packs it into bis capacious carpet
lag and pronlaims his victory. General
Buffers process of subtraction and addition
may come out all right and make him gov
ernor, but it will strike a great many peo-
pie that his campaign partakes a good deal
OF Ben Johnson's celebrated Captain Boba-
dil's plan for destroying an army.

A SAD AFFAIR.
Failure and sudden Disappearance of a
Promising Young Man.
A PROBABLE SUICIDE.

TACOMA, ~ 5. The eailare and sudden dis
initiating and unfortunate affair. Ladd was an
energetic. promising young business man 10
whom the public reposed the utmost confidence,
having by the closest attent, on TO business accum
ulated quite q considerably property. His name
WAS onsidered good for $50 900 to $40, 900 1t
wgs account of the unfortunate combination OF
circumstances and lofty ambition to transact a
large amount Of business on too limited capital
that his fnancn l ruin and probable suicide have
at last been accomplished. lie has been
tensve real estate owner, and met with several
heavy losses within the last few years, owing to
shunkage in real estate. Mlsfortunes of this
kind are considered the principal cause of bring
ing about his financial embarrassment.
At times he was hard pressed for funds with
which to meet payments when they became due.
lie would afix the signatures of responsible par
ties to the note, draw the money on the paper at
forwards taking up the note unbeknown to the
parties whose names he had made use Of The
fact that he has forged only the names of rels-
tiyes and most intimate friends indicates that his
intentions were not of swindling nature but
rather that he resorted to such means as 8 mstter
of convenience to himself for the time being
The amount of forged paper will not exceed three
thousand dollars, consisting of seven notes.
The report that previous to his disappearance
he confessed to personal friend ten different acts
of ncendiarism, is untrue, from the very best au-
thority.
There is no doubt but that Ladd int ended to be
honest and straightforward, and that he could and
would have adjusted every dollar Of bis indebted
ness had he been unmolested by his creditors.
lie expressed the intention of committing suicide,
although it Is possible he may have fled the coun-
try.

In an instant after the first flash and explosion all
the buildings were wrapped in flames. showing
that the air all around wa. filled with nfammable

BANGOR.


BANGOR, May 4. The report that the Russian
officer was in town is not verified by an inve stiga-

story that the English officer came in on the
Bucksport K Bangor train this morning, having
come up from Southwest Ilarbor, where he had
been investigating for the British consul. Even
this one is not to be found aud if he come up, he
probably went on to Boston on the morning train.

he was deranged, and made the confession under

New YORK. May 4. The Post says gold re-

demand on account Of u. ). bond subscription
We not ce IN some quarters there is an impre sson
that the gold received on account of bonds by the
treasury. Is necessarily deposited IN the treasury
vaults, and therefore Withdrawn from banks or
the market. This need not be, the Secretary
has full power TO place gold in banks designated
as repositories of public money. Accordingly the
money market need not be affected by the bond
subscriptions.
The general stock market is somewhat affected
by closing Of the books to-day for the annual
election of Chicago and Northwestern. 1t is un.
derstood that the party soliciting proxies through
Dawes, Dillon & Scott, have secured control. al
though this is not yet officially known. To-day
Northwest has commanded IA to IL per cent. Tor

market has been waiting for decision of this con.
test, before taking decided turn, one way or the
other.
