ButIer Nominated for Governor.

Butler Nominated for Governor.
BosroN, September 12.-The State Con
yention,of the National.G Greenback. Labor
party assembled at Faneuil Hall to-day.

offices and by the manner OF the Com
mittee calling the convention on the basis
OF club elections and not on the basis OF
general caucuses, which threatened TO ex-
clnde the Caucus delegates, thus depriying
large unorganized bodies ol Greenbackers
OF representation In the Convention. It
was also alleged that o portion Of the State
Central Committee would refuse the
Gubernatorial nomination to General But
Ter unless he made substantial contribu-
ton to the party treasury. Threats OF o
bolt were made prior to organization.
The Convention was finally called 10
order, and Israel W. Andrews was elected
temporary chairman and General Horace
Binney Sargent permanent chairman.
General sargent's address was in
favor OF fiat money, attributing all the
business distress OF the past six years to
contraction, and accused both the press
and pulpit Of yenality, the latter being
on the lowest plane.
solon Chase was received with great ap-
plause. He counselled the party to act
with prudence.
Committees were appointed and an
angry dispute arose on motion fora re-
cess, which was carried.

The clamor the democrats resort to about
Republican fraud and injustice, to attract
attention from their own partizan outrages,
is significantly illustrated in the Florida
election case of Hull vs., Bisbee. The Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York
Times gives the following facts of the con-
test. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
Judge Harris, of this district, espoused the
cause of Hull, democrat. although he
knew, as every body else did, that be had
not the shadow Of right in his claim. Party
necessity is at the bottom of it. and not an
honest adjudication of the matter. The cor
respondent of the 10Th says:
The entire session of the House to-day was de
voted to the Hull-Bisbee contested election case
me case OF Mr.. Blsbee was argued by Messrs.
Frye, Hiscock and Garfield, and that OF Mr. Hull
by MeSSrS. Cobb Harris Mills and COX. The con.
test Is Ior the seat from the Second Florida Dis
the Board of State Canvassers, and upon that re-
turn the Governor issued his certificate In con-
sequence OF the unlawful action of the Board of
State Canvassers. in adding for Hull nearly 200
votes in one county, the Supreme Court of Flori-
da ordered the Board OF Canyassers to make re-
| count, which they did. The recount showed that
Mr.. Bisbee was duly elected to Congress from
that district, and the canvassers so certified to
to issue certificate in accordance with the facts
upon the ground that he had already issued one
certificate in the case and could not recall Mr.
Bisbee thereupon obtained writ of mandamus
from the supreme Court, with view of compel
ling the Governor to issue the required certifi-
cate. Alter hearing argument on both Sides the
court decided that the first certificate. being
based upon fraud, was invalid, and that the GOV,
ernor should issue his certificate in accordance
with the facts set forth IN the amended return
made by the Board of Canvassers. Two of the
Judges held that the court had not the power to
compel the Governor to issue certificate while
the third Judge, who is democrat, dissented, and
held that the court had such power and Should
Democrat, furnished the Governor with an Off
cial opinion, in which he was informed that it
was his duty to issue certificate of election TO
Mr.. Bisbee Notwithstanding this strong state
ment OF facts which were clearly set forth in the
l4O, refused to adopt motion to refer the entire
matter to the Committee on Elections, and sub
sequently, by party vote, with one OF two ex-
right to the seat, and he was sworn in.
