Three has Ben Butler, like Cesar,
been offered the crown. First by the
Greenbackers, then by the independent
Democrats, and finally by the Butler
ties, or Independents, pure and simple.
Unlike Cesar, however, the modern
warrior-statesman didn't make a mo-

count Of his desire to crush John Kelly
and Tanmsny Hall. He says that Mr..
Tilden Is, if possible, doing more to
elect the Democratic candidate for
Governor than If he were himself the

experience are being brought into full
play, aud he is contributing largely
from his personal means to carry out
his own plan of the campaign. He has
made up his mind to destroy John

it will be necessary for them to pay up.
The committee explains that 1t Is out
of funds and it vii. be impossible for
the campaign to 60 on if money isn't
