Colonel House has announced his retire
ment, but he will not be able yet to seclude
himself from the public gaze. The Democ-
racy OF Montgomery, in particular, on ac-
count OF detection in high places are panting
to once more hear his voice above the roar Of
the strife, giving words of encouragement to
his friends. His enemies have eucsmped
upon his premises and poached upon his
manor. Bois-Guilbert has denounced the
disinheri.e knight, when the cnampion:wss

Mr.. Rlddlebergers candid way of explaining

putting down sectionaIism and for other
patriotic purposes; but Mr.. Riddleberger
does not SO regard the support of the admin

respondent says: at is a fashion to sheer

often clumsy and without tact when they
controlled the House and managed TO get
themselves into hot water with the country
on trivial matters but from the time they
took command in the House until they lost
1t again there was no lobby here, and they
were as careful of the peoples money as
though it had been their own. They cut
too close sometimes, as was not unnatural,
for they succeeded a Republican House
which had been openly and shamefully ex-
travagant, as this one has also been, but
they performed the disagreeable task of
economiziug with the most honorable fidelity

Before General Butler sailed he proposed
to the Democratic managers that the Demo
cratic State convention should follow the
Independent Republican convention or Inde-
pendent convention, and that he should be
for governor by the Independents
and that INSTRUMENTATION should then be rati-
fed by the delegates and representatives of
the Massachusetts Democracy, who cast
l1O, 900 votes for him in his last campaign.
The Democratic situation is this: General
Butler can have the party nomination if he
will take it straight" but there is likely TO ]
be opposition made 10 any proposition for
atifying the work of another party.-Boston |
