BOsToN, Sept. lS.-The Democratic State Con-
vention which will meet in Music Hall tomorrow
will probably be one of the most peaceful gather
ings of the kind for years. with, perhaps. the ex-
ceptiOn of last year. General b. +. Butler will
head the ticket, and no opposition will be made to
his nomination. The other nominations will prob
ably be as follows: For ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. s.
w. Bowerman. of Pittsield who has served sew
era terms in the State Senate Secretary of State, T.
DonOhue SomerAille, Attorney General, George r.
Berry, of Worcester, who has been on the State
ticket at least once before, and has also been
Mayor of Worcester; Treasurer and Receiver
General, ". A. Hodges, of Quincy-a man not very
widely known, but it was thought necessary 10
have some one from Quincy; Auditor, j. 2.
Sweeney, of Lawrence, another man unknown to
fame.
One Of the most remarkable features Of the con-
venton will be the spectacle of Judge Abbott pre-
siding over body that nominates General Butler
for Governor. Three years ago the more re-
spectacle element in the party including Judge
Abbott. waxed wroth because the boys"
stole march on the old warehouses and nominated
Butler. So the conservative element nominated
Judge Abbott, which aided the Republicans very
materially. and Governor Long was reelected lhe

The woman suffragists have evidently grown
weary OF knocking n the door of the Republican
Conventions and have applied 10 the Democrats for
recognition with better success, for the Democratic
committee this afternoon voted TO refer the follow
ing resolution to the Committee on RESOLUTIONS,
and III some form 1t Will probably become plank
IN the platform:
ReSOred That the Democratic party Of Massachusetts,
the representatives or hberty and progress, are Ia
favor Of extending suffrage on equal terms % all Amer
lean citizens irrespective OF sex, and will hail the day
the educated Intellect and enlightened conscience
OF shd nd direct expression at tie ballotbox
An effort made TO amend the resolution, and
the question finally resolved itself into the adoption
of the following resolution and its reference to the

WASHINGTON cLEANINcs.

Ex-Marshal Henry, who is now il
Washington, for the purpose of set
ting his affairs, does not intend tC
oppose the confirmation of his sue
cessor. He has written a letter to
the President, protesting his inno-
cence of the charges upon which be
was removed. The letter is strong
one, and one that his friends think
will of necessity, command the atten-
ton of the President. 1t will doubt
less be referred to the Attorney G en-
eral for comment.
Senator Conger will make it a point
in the Senate to see that the suspen-
sion of Postmaster Anger receives
fulPattention.
Congress will, it is now believed,
take recess from December p to
Jan. 2.
When Joshua Hill was Senator
from Georgia, he bought an old field
in the suburbs of Washington, for
$1,000, as an investment for his chill
dren. The British Minister built a
fine residence in the neighborhood,
making it fashionable, and now the
property is worth s250,000.
The only Representative in Con-
gress who has thus far ventured 10
say anything in opposition to civil
service reform, is Representative
Moore of Tennessee. He is quoted
as saying that all the pending Civil
Service bills are humbugs. They
mean a sort of an English aristocracy
in the civil service. If the Democrats
get national powers, he believes they
should have the offices, because they
will be held responsible for the
National Administration.
