BOSTON, June 18.-The Herald
says: 1t is not yet certain tina.
Ben Butler will run for Governor
this year. He cannot run with
any hope except as the regular

last year. The revival of stalwart
politics has weakened irregular
movements. Butler Is at present
nondescript In politics. One idea
that has just been suggested by
some of his followers Is to keep him
out of the gubernat0rial race, unit
ing Democrats and Greenbackers
on the question for Governor, and
reserviDg Butler for Senator In
Place OF Dawes.
