the official reports indicate. At Camp Joe
Williams four or five deaths occur daily.
The hospital contains about 25 sick, and

Gen. Butler Accepts the Nomination
Ofthe Nationals for Governor and
Defines his Position.
BosroN, August 81.
General Butler, in a card accepting the
nomination for Governor of Massachusetts
said: l take the trust with all its cares
and will devote all Of the intelligence, labor
forethought and energy that in me lies
and use all the power which they and those
who think with them may give me to re
lieve the peoples burdens, and bring aboul

of the laws Of the Commonwealth, which
they wish. As we have no organization OIL
platform Of party principles, either STATE
or national, it may not be Inappropriate t.
set forth the principles which will guide
my political measures, as we'll as the con
duct Of all governmental functions which
may be entrusted to me. Equal rights
equal duties, equal hours, equal burdens
equal privileges and equal protection b,
the laws to every man everywhere under
the Government, State or National. The
laws of taxation should be made SO plain
SO direct and efficient, and be SO faithful,
administered that all of the property 0
every kind in the Commonwealth should b.
taxed Just once every year, and no more
as lightly as possible, equally and fairly
and SO that none can escape the publi'
burden. A law regulating the rate of in
terest is advocated. The repeal Of the Law
against usury has, in very many cases
ruined both the borrower and the saving
banks. 1t certainly has shaken to it

taxation. We have no political machinery
no political wire-workers who can make
claim on us. We are directly from tn,
