THE FIATISTS.
State Convention of Massachusetts,
Greenbackers.
BENZ. F. BUTLER WILLING TO BE
SACRIFICED.

BosToN, Sept. 12-The Massachusetts State
Convention of the Greenback party assembled
at Faneuil Hall this forenoon. Before the con-
vention was called to order, a dispute was
occasioned by the assertion that the Boston
CITY committee had been selling out TIE party
to the Democrats. Another bone OF contention
was the alleged plot of a portion of the State
Central Committee to refuse the gubernatorial
nomination to General Butler unless he made
a substantial contribution to the treasury.
Threats of bolt were freely made prior to
the organization of the convention.
The convention was finally called to order,
and General Horace Binney Sargent was elect
ed president. Sargent's address embodied
long argument in favor of fat money, attribut-
ing all business distress for the past SIX years
to contraction. He accused both the press and
pulpit of venality, the latter being OF the low
est plane. Sargent's speech was interrupted
by the entrance of Scion Chase, who was re-
ceived with great applause. He made short
dence. Nine hundred and seventy-six dele
gates were present After a recess committee
on platform was appointed.
Following are the nominations:
Governor-B. f. Butler
Lieut. Governor-Wendell Phillips
Secretary of State-Jonathan Arnold
r Attorney General-Horace Binney Sargent.
Treasurer-Wilbur f. Whitney.
Auditor-Davis f. King.
The platform as adopted declares legal ten
der is the only standard OF payment, and
stability of values can only be secured by
full legal tender issued by the government. 1t
demands the substitution of greenbacks for
national bank notes; favors the use OF the coin
in the Treasury for the reduction of the bond
ed debt; soldiers and sailors should receive the
same dollar as the bondholder. 1t says two
measures of the Greenback party have been
indicated stoppage of contraction in 1878,
and reception of the greenback for customs.
Also favors a graduated income tax on amounts
exceeding 800; proportionate and equal taxa
ton of property; denounces resumption as
sham, fraud and delusion; demands reduc-
ton in hours of labor and prevention of en-
ployment of young children; that labor-saving
machinery is a boon of God; that free school
books are an important part of our free school
system, and that payment for them by others
than the authorities is inconsistent and I'M
wise; demands the abolition of the contract
system of convict labor. Only those Green
hackers will be supported whe are pledged in
favor of a compulsory secret ballot; favGrS
abolition of the poll tax, and endorses the
amendment to the homestead act presented in
Congress by Mr. Wright of Pennsylvania.

The Responsibility Resting on Russian
Agents.
Shikapoor merchants reports that the reyol-
ution in Cabul was due to Russian intriguers.
Russian agents have been most active at Herat
and for some months have urged the Ameer's
brother to declare against him, promising the
support of the Heraltee reg iments They were
charged by the Ameers brother with being the
cause of the revolt against the Ameer and the
English.
