GENERAL BUTLER AT OFFICE.
General Butler arrived in this city the early
morning train from Lowell. He entered his Office in
Pemberton square soon after ten o'clock and was
greeted by large gathering Of his supporters
He closed his private Office to all visitors
except his immediate advisers and friends with whom
he remained closeted during the greater part Of the
forenoon. He receivedDennis Kcarney after his
arrival and chatted pleasantly with the great sand lot
spouter. II. H. Bryant. W. A. Tower, J. J. McDavitt
his manager, and others paid their respects and
commented pleasantly the cheerful cond-
ton of the defeated candidate, and his excellent
health and spirits after the extraordinary campaign
through which he has Just passed He talked freely
with his friends the result and said that 10000
votes showed how thoroughly the people were aroused
to the necessity OF retrenchnent in government
and reform III the financial condition of the country
PREPARED TALK.
On being asked his opinion about the result of yes
terdays vote he said he was hardly prepared to make
statement yet, as he wanted to compare the vote
cast in former years with that of yesterday.
II have no reason" he said ito feel ashamed
Of the work of my friends who believe
with me in State reform" He intiuated
that he would keep up the fight in the future the
have something to say on these questions within q
few days. but for the present he was too much en-
gvossed with his private business which had accumu-
lated. to talk politics.
THE RESULT IN THE STATE.
Thomas Talbot was elected Governor by the hard
money democrats, who hated Butler personally and
account of his financial heresies The vote for
Judge Abbott has fallen 5000 below AL reasonable
timates made by both parties. This deficiency
doubled gives Talbot his plurality and leaves little
margin. 1t generally conceded that the Fancuil
Hall Convention would rally to the support
lowest figure. 25,ooO votes But the returns
from all but twenty small towns give him
only $500. Buffers vote will approximate 10. 900.
OF this 100000 have been taken what heretofore
constituted the democratic party. At least fifteen
thousand democrats kicked the party traces and
voted for Talbot The feelings of the Butterflies
this open bolt cannot easily be described.
REPUBLICANS ABBOTT DEMOCRATS.
The republicans feel very well satisfied with the
suit of yesterdays Ftrugple-not alone in Massachu-
sctts, but in the other States where elections
held. They gain one Congressman in this state
State Senator and several Representatives.
They lose one member OF the Executive Council.
Mr.. Talbot was in town this morning and
"A
large number of prominent republicans called him
and congratulated him receiving the highest vote
polled for Governor of Massachusetts, except
Mr.. Talbot expressed himself strongly on the
necessity of keeping IN view the fact that the victory
victory for hard money and honest government.
The Abbott democrats feel happy AZ the Talbot
men. They admit that a few days ago n secret
meeting held in this city at which IL decided
that the duty Of all good democrats to vote for
Talbot aud defeat General Butler. Judge Abbott
on being questioned this forenoon to his opinion
of the result said that his friends did he advised
her al for TXlh ttn ufssI
the defeat Of R-.,.- and relorad y the triumph
OF the honest money doctrines OF The democratic
party. II II currently reported and generally be-
lievod that the judge voted for Talbot himself.
apvr~BAcK VOTE.
One OF the curiositie5 OF the voting yesterday was
the evident strength OF the qreenback movement In
several sections of the State. This in the

the greenback party draws its support almost
entirely from the democratic ranks. Later re-
turns may give the district TO Boynton. In the
