The Outlook In Massachusetts.
BosToN, Oct. 2Sth, lS1

BosroN, Oct. 2sth, 1873.
| To the Editor QfHe Kennebse Journal.
| The political situation in Massachusetts may be
put down as decidedly mixed, and while any man
runs large risk of losing his standing a. proph
ct, in attempting to forecast the results still am
of the opinion that the soundings indicate that
there will be large vote polled; probsblv from
$50. 900 to 260 900. How will they be divided /?
From the very best information can get, it is my
opinion that Talbot will receive from l25, 900 to
| li0, 900. giving him a clean majority over all.
Butler will come next with less than 10000
probably from 81 900 to 80 900. Abbott Is, 900 to
10000. and Miner no tell what his vote
will be-but not very much. Butler msn would
change the above very decidedly, and bring his
candidate out ahead. The Congres siona districts
will all be carried by the republicans. with possibly
one exception. the Fourth, but that is by no
means beyond probabilities. Field, in the Third.
will be elected this time. Everything indicates it.
| For the first time in uy experience, Massachu-
setts is making a canvass such as several Of the
States. New Hampshire Connecticut, New York.
Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana always have 20
make. Their system at the head quarters of the
State Comm ittee seems to be admirable. and one
fact is very perceptible and Massschus tts-like, a
large number of men and boys, should say at
least twenty occupy an immense room adjoining
the Office of the Chairman and Secretary. where
they are from morning till night busily engaged,
receiving, folding and sending off printed matter

Throu ghout the entire State the local commit.
tees are most thoroughly organized, and for the
coming seven DAYS the lines will he strengthened
and carefully guarded. Butler is making desper-
ate campaign holding barbecue, clam bakes, torch
light professions, &C.. and by these will bring out
a large vote, but not enough to elect him, for
one of the most careful observers said to me yes
terdsy. the "old man. must remember, that he is
bringing out by all his appliances many an old
staid republican of lS6l-64 who has not been
voting lately. The campaign is largely dis
cussed by Massachusetts, men upon State issues,
while outsiders of course deal mostly with the
financial question, and nothing seems TO interest
more than a judcious showing of what disas-
tiers an irredeemsble inflated paper currency has
brought upon the laboring classes of every coun-
try where thas been resorted to. The fsllacy is
diving out, and if the campaign turned simply on
the question of the currency, Massachusetts
wonls bury Initiation under ms jorty of 100000.

The Comm IN Schools.

Instead of our common school system

The Improvement of the common schools

TO the rich. They are the colleges of the

the school funds are to be cut down, the
means of educating teachers abolished and
the character Of the best schools to be level

schools, the change will be felt most Sc
verely by the deserving poor. for the rich
are able to educate their children at acad-

by the change. If there is any awaken
