The western trip of Dennis Kearney IL n failure a,
also his brief stay in Massachusetts lie deserves t.
fail, and until he learns something he will inevitably fail
The laborinS men of Massachusetts in major
ty and properly organized could hold the State against
any other party But Kearney divides them at once
lie demands many things which all can agree in de
mandng, but others which majority do not care for
and his methods are not those lawabdng citizens
1t would have been better for Kearney, better for til,
lab0rILE men of Massachusetts and better for Gen
Butler, if Kearney had remained in California The
condition of the poor in Massachusetts, is terrible
however. that they may disregard Kearney altogether
when The time To act comes, unite definite
plan, and elect Governor of the State They have th
numbers they have the grievances aud they lack onl,
a leader. They will probably find one in due time liz
must be man superior in all respt cts TO kearncy,-
And he must make the success of the movement ant
not OF Gen. Butler, The prime object. The more intel
ligent aburiig men OF Massachusetts will prefer to Sc
lect their own candidates Tor office, aud while the,
may agree upon Butler at the proper time they don
want to start out pledged to him. They know the,
cannot afford TO do that
United State troops in large numbers may at an,
time, under existing orders, the Texas border
into Mexico, aud, in of opposition by Mexican
troops, Will fight them. THIS means war and do no
doubt the Administration intended that result all along
We demand that Mexico shall do certain things ",
do what makes it Impossible Tor her to accomplish
them, and then we fight her for failure.

1t Is now said "by authority" that Mr.. Hayes hai
actually paid to the Republican campaign fund til,
money promised by him. and that every member of tn,
Cabinet has also contributed. Mr.. Hayes has alsr
written letter to popular gentleman in Cincinnati
asking him, as personal favor 10 accept nomination
for Congress, against Hon. Milton Savior 1t will Ia,
remembered that Stanley Matthews made Senator
at 'lIe solicitation of MIR. Hayes These interference
with matters pertaining to the Legislative branch til,
government, aud partisan contributions are oddly on
OF place IN an administration devoted civil snryic,
triorh Int as everybody knows, Mr.. Hayes has tail
ed on All those points On which he promised most.
