SAD yesterday that he went 10 Worcester without in-

OF opinion That the Mechanics Hall Convontion was
regular IN every respect ana that 1enefa pueI was

Colonel A. A. Haggslt, OF Lowell, said that while he
was not in sympathy with the manner IN which the
hall was secured no could sslontly recognize
The right OF the state Central Committee 10 adjourn
the Convention. Tue Stale Central Committee has
legally NO rik ht 10 decide to VINO snail aud who

Gratis OF usstts, and the best thing the demo-
do Is TO heal all dincrences accept the Result
Of the Convention aud work harmoniousiy LOT tue

Mr.. John e. Fitzgerald OF Boston, head Of tho local
democracy. believes tho State Central Committee
acted exactly right and that tho action OF the Con-
venton mad legality than the action Of moo

chance nc had 6efore-and he did not think ne ever
had any-ho mas lar less now, tor his course mas

out all ihoir votes
Mr. John X. Tarbox, OF Lawrence, said that tho
parallel between the action OF tho slate Central Com
mlss and that of the Louisiana Returnins Bosrd was
perfect and equally iniquous and deserved an equal
retPibut,on the interests OF public morality rhis
he says net from any friendship Tor Butler, whose
nomina he did not advise but friend OF
NOR fairness ana honor Whatever objection may be
mado the regularity Of the Convention that assumed
act at Worcester doubtless represented tho maj r
pub lic sentiment OF the democrats of tho State.
William d. Northsnd, ut Salem, said the meeting
at Mechanics Hall, Worcester was the regular au-
thorizcd Convention OF the democracy. Mr. Ayery,
The CHAIRMAN OIL the State Central CoamNtee, came
iuto the hall said:-"I have TO announce mat tho
Democratic Central Committee mot a. their rooms
at tho Bay State House ~ eight O'Clock this
morning, and after naming Ia session somo time
eW.dHesaSyI at FausniI Hail. Boston" Now, what
right had they 70 do thiss No action Of the dcega
ever called tor upon the subject Ae submitted

tho State Central COMMITTEE, Is that they had the
right adjourn the Convention without
with approval OF the delegates TO the Convention
Such position moods only 10 be stotsd 10 show tho
a0surdity OF inc claim oil The majority Of the Stale
Central COmmittee
Mr. Francis PiunKeL OF Worcester, y well known
democrat said the ACT OF the State Central COMMITTEE
was one OF usurpatien aud revolution The Convon.

shall be- The committee acled as II was determined
10 rulo or rum, and bound TO have their own
way despite wishes oil the majority oil the dec-
gates. they may have their own way and see how
many will lett OF them. We propose 70 stick 10 the
platform adopted Tho 18th, and they may have as
many committees resolutions and mutual admiration
Major NJ J. McCanerty, Of Worcester, said NO other
BODY than the Convention had the right 10 say
whether it should adjourn or not. In other words,
The whole power OF action was Ia the Convention
itself II they were authorized the committee could
ltinerse the Convention from place 70 place all over
the SUITE until patience and pockets wero worn out
aud Tho viii OF tho people defeated. Tho Democratic
State Convention OF Massachusetts mas met and trans
acted the business Of tho year. The meeting In Fan
cuIl al mex. Wsdnes day will DO bolt aud nothing
more.
Butler dug his political grave In his outrageous
attempt 10 capture the Democratic Convention The
whole proceedings OF tho socaIed Convention were
mere farce they had neither order, method
nor, above all, legality, and they would not bind the
democratic party Of the state any moro than set OF
vent,on nc X Wodnesday at Faneu Hail will give tho
true voice Of tho democratic party II VIII be har-
monous and dignned and It will assert the limo hon.

Mr.. ". e. faliman, OF Somervilic, delegate TO the
Worcester Convention, said, IN taking possession OF
Mechanics Hall the Butler faction look the only
course that left them, aud IN doing SO simply beat
the state Committee at their own game. Ho thought

Ho leit no DOUBT Of tho election OF But.
Ter. He was really surprised ~ seq what an uprising
OF the there II tue FaDeu Hall convon-
ton accepted Talbot he felt sure that Butler would be
elected. Butler vas tho man 10 represent
the masses IN the guborna!or'ai chair,
and believed II elected, no would carry
out his inlentions TO the loIter.
