In the HERALD to-day we give some por-
tions of the letter which General Butler
has addressed to all those voters of Massa-
chusetts who constructively requested him
to run for the Office Of Governor of that
State which letter he formally puts
himself before the public as q candidate.
Doubtless O large number of those voters
who signed his petitions on this subject
did so without any very earnest desire tor
his election signed, in fact, in the hope
that his coming out would convert dull
and formal canvass into political circus
in which the doughty candidate would
himself do all the double somersets,
sing the comic songs and strike classic
attitudes as the most wonderfully tat
tooed man ever seen in American politics.
They wanted to make things lively and
thought Ben could be counted upon in that
respect. But, alas! his letter gives noprom-
Use of the fulflment of their hopes. 1t is
grievously fat. 1t is dull and respectable
enough for the manifesto OF a candidate OF
one Of the regular parties. 1t touches the
relations to the people Of capital, labor,
savings DuuhS, uOItSuSc5, uuu OtuSA soPASo
of more or less immediate interest, and
puts forth platitudes on all. Those usual
snowy departures from common sense which
afford him generally an opportu-
nifty to exhibit his intellectual dex-
terity in proving all the political
moons to be made Of green cheese
scarcely appear in this document Perhaps
the remarkably erroneous views on the sub
ject of mortgages is an exception. In that
utterance he starts a theory intended to
favor the poor man and ends in fragrant
surrender of everything to the rich man.
He urges that the law should place i'm
portant obstacles in the way Of the fore
closure Of mortgages. But this he presently
sees might not help the poor man, but
would prevent investment in such securi-
ties Whereupon he says that the fewer
Massachusetts homes are mortgaged the
better. That is to say, if poor owner is
in distress for money shut against him
absolutely the chance to borrow money on
his property, and let him be sold out and
deprived of his home at once. If that is the
way Butler is to help the poor man we can
not see any reason to congratulate said poor
man on his champion.

Theodore Thomas departure to the soil
tudes of Cincinnati-to the calm repose and
fattened ease of the great Western city,
fonder Of the sound Of fddles than even of
the dainty taste of its we'll dressed schweine-
fleisch, is an event that, in certain. CIR
cumstances. might dismay the souls of
the lovers of music in this neighborhood.
Even though there is in this migration an

music than great New York, city people can
very we'll turn deaf ear to that tone, and
regret the loss Of one who has done much
for us here. But then we have great
many other things and Cincinnati has very
little; and having made up her mind that
she can afford to pay for the cultivation of
that side of her soul which has no bristles

have done better than to spend her money on
Thomas. In fact, we are to be 80 brilliantly
served in the musical way this winter that
the loss will force itself upon our attention
less than it might have done in another
year. Nobody will scandalize the exalted
spirit of the finer duettanti by hint that the
Italian opera is an equivalent for classical
concerts but it is an entertainment that
the public can get on with. Indeed, if we
get from the Mapleson company all that is
promised-and we have no doubt we shall
the public generally will regard the musical
events of this winter in the city as the most
satisfactory within recent remembrance.
New York has not large public that gives
its days and nights to the study of music
with any degree of fanaticism. Our people
are not fond of abstract music, but like it
with contents-with stories of human pas
sion, or frailty, or pride-and with Access
series of action and scenery that help to tell
the story. In short, they like it as they
find it in the musical drama, and the per-
lection in which we are likely to have that
this winter will console us for much that
we must be without.

The WEATIIER.--The baromctrical conditions
Df the United States east OF the Missouri River
have undergone very peculiar changes within
the past twenty four hours. The area of low
barometer that on Wednesday lay over the lower
lake regions has been entirely dissipatcd, and
the outlines of the depression have disappeared
altogether. The barometer is high over the Mid
die Atlantic and New England States 1t is high
rst In the western sections and is relatively high
IN the Central Valley districts, the lake regions
and the Gulf States. There are indications of the
approach Of another depression over the North
western districts and Canada but us yet it is not
very well defined. Rain has fallen over the lake
regions and the Middle Atlantic coast 1t has
also fallen in the Mississippi Valley and
the Gulf districts. Fogs have prevailed in the
Northern Missouri Valley and on some sections
Of the New England coast The winds have
been generally light throughout all the dis
tiicts except the lake regions, where they have
been from light to fresh. Strong winds are re-
ported to have prevailed over the West Indies
during yesterday. Temperatures have risen
except in the Central Valley districts, where
they have been variable. Local disturbances
will probably develop in the Northwest during
the next few days. The weather In New York
and its vicinity to-day will be cool aud fair or
partly cloudy, possibly with an occasional
shower Tomorrow it promises to be slightly
cooler and fair

Of his party. To be sure, he retains his
ascendancy by humoring the wishes of his
followers but he has such hold on their
confidence that they are ready to follow
wherever he thinks it expedient to lead
When he blinks this fact it is justly put to
the account of modesty, but nobody else
can ignore it and escape the imputation of
stupidity. Mr.. Kelly is too wise and
prudent politician to put on airs and
parade his ascendancy; but that he is the
controlling mind. the master spirit Of his
party. does not cease to be fact because he
modestly disslaims the great function which
he exercises His candidate for Mayor
will be nominated by democratic
convention; but nobody is simple enough
to believe that his preference will be over
ruled in such body. 1t will consist OF
delegates virtually appointed by him, and
be merely registering body to record his
wishes. His denial of power is modest
atfectation but it would be foolish and
ridiculous atfectation tor us to accept the
denial. MI. Kelly knows, and we know,
and every intelligent politician knows that
he is a powerful and sagacious party chief
whose will cannot be safely resisted by any
city democrat. We look at facts as they
are, and try to hold Mr.. Kelly to the re-
sponsibility which accompanies the posses
sion of power.
What we ask of Mr.. Kelly is that he
show his hand In republic everything
should be conducted in the full light Of

determined in a secret ccnclave. We OBJ
ject to having an unexpected nomination
for Mayor sprung upon the city Mt the elev-
enth hour and a great party committed to
give it blind support. The candidates
who are proposed should be known
and discussed before so large q
| body Of voters as is controlled
by Tammany Hall have parted with
their liberty of judgment. When Mr..
Kelly's convention puts forth it's candidate
the lash OF party discipline will preclude
all dissent in the city democracy, and the
mass of democratic voters will be coerced
into voting for ticket which will be as
great surprise to them rs to the rest OF the
community Such blind following of
party guides is not consistent with free in
situations. The people should have q
chance to estimate the qualifications of can
didates before the party whip is applied to
lash them into obedience. If Mr.. Kellys
candidate cannot stand public criticism
there is but slender chance that he would
make good Mayor.
We wish Mr.. Kelly would tell us what
objection he has to Mr.. Bonner. 1t is as
true of Mr.. Bonner as of Mr.. Kelly himself
that he is honest, is capable and is faithful
to every obligation. AS Mr.. Kelly himself
has quoted this Jeffersonian standard of
qualifications we wish he would tell us
whether in his opinion Mr.. Bonner falls
short Of it. If Mr.. Kelly has better can
didate let him tell us who he is and enable
citizens to make q fair comparison before oil
liberty Of Judgment is suppressed by what
Mr.. Kelly calls ''party discipline"
