per- published at the home of Thomas Butter
worth, has the following to say of him:
Hon. Thomas Butterworth, candidate for
state treasurer, is known not only at home bul
throughout the state, as friend of the labor
ing classes. Being graduate OF that class
who earn their bread by the sweat of their
brow, he still retains memories of the hard
ships endured, and still feels warmly for his
brethren who toll for living. His record al
home and in the legislature shows this plain
ly The workingmen, in whatever class of la
Dor engaged, have reason to JON their faith to
Honest Tom Butterworth, and sustain him
with their votes and influence at all times
His record in the past shows that he has never
neglected a chance to care for their interests
and he will not do so. A vote for Mr.. Butter
worth does not mean simply vote more OF
less for democrat or a republican, but, also
an advancement of the cause of common hon

field says;
"The four days preceding the election We
lost over three thousand votes by means well
known to the managers of the national demo
cratic campaign, and which do not call for
further specification from me-"
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times
writing from Portland a week before the elec'
tion tells the following anecdote, which may
supply the loss of Blaine's further specitica-
tom
"Anolher weIl-informed politician told of a
case in which the democratic candidate for the
legislature gave man pair of pantaloons a
few days before an election. Approaching
the polls in his new clothes, the voter was
questioned as to his choice by a suspicious
democrat. I'm gong republican this time,
was the logged reply. What, with those
democratic trousers on?' rejoined the demo
cratic solicitor, thinking that hint that he
was IN the secret would be enough Yes,
said the free citizen of Maine; 'mebbe you
don't know the coat is republican, and It's the
best part of the SUIT"
Can it be possible that this time the trous
ers were republican and the coat democratic.
And if so, what have republicans got 10 say
about it?
