considering Buffers advanced age, this
disaster winds up his political career, 40 far
as the State of Massachusetts at large is con-
cerned. Once OFF the track of success there
in Il state election he never can get on again.
But II he should wish 10 renew his reputation
az disturber of the peace In the popular
branch of Congress- his vote indicates that
thore arc several districts where he could
lind an Opportunity. We deem IL probable
that Gov. Butler never will make an attempt
again to carry the Massachusetts, State-house
by assault, but will apply himself hereafter
in combination with MIR. Wendell Phillips and
other agltators, and very likely with his
friend, our own John Kelly, TO get up new
National party on the "capital and labor"
ISSUE
springfield Republican.
People respond mot guilty" TO the infa-
nous charges of Gov Butler. Let all the
world take notice that Massachusetts has not
had loose, dishonest, extravagant or cor
rupt administration. Massachusetts is not
yet given over to the domination of ignorant,
foreign-born or foreign-fathered Massachu-
sets cannot be permanently held in control
by any party which makes clap-trap appeals
TO ignorance, prejudice and stupidity. The
attempts to excite feeling against the Repub-
licans as the party of aristocracy, blue blood
and capital have miserably failed.

What AppOmattOX was 10 the COnfederaCy
the election of yesterday was TO Butler and
Buterism. Both the man and the thing have
been annihilated. For such result decent
people, not only of Massachusetts, but CT
both parties throughout the country, should
be profoundly thankful, because the one man
in this country who could rally about him the
ignorant and vicious elements has been east
down for the last time.

This finishes Butler. Massachusetts has
spoken in earnest and with u full voice:
'Never more be officer of mine" 1t is true
he has not been able TO permanently inJure
Massachusetts, for his power is limited and
her institutions are strong. The disgrace was
in eecting him. The State will survive and
look back with shame upon this wild Butler
froic when Butler is dust
Boston Post.l
Gov. Butler is defeated with years record
behind him and his choice of campaign meth
DDS. He cannot accuse his committee and
other workers of bad management. He has
assumed the part of absoutism with respect
20 the manner in which his campaign should
be conducted, and his assumption has not
been challenged Butler has been Command
er-in-Chief and Supreme Executive Magis-
trate in his own behalf from the time he was
inaugurated Governor till his defeat on
Tuesday, and he alone is responsible for his
failure to obtain n reelection.

Butlerlsm Il dead and buried. Let 1t not be
eXhumed.
New York SUM-
Gov. Butler has gone. The sweet singer or
Chicopec proved too much for him, and an
interesting and humorous figure is thus with
drawn from the boards. The defeat of Butler
might have been predicted, for he had made
himself very disagreeable, as men who tell
the truth often do. But the forces which
made him successful for one year in Il State
that had been in the forefront of Republican
ism do not die with him, if so irrepressible a
parsonage can be said TO die politically. We
| shall live 10 see the State Democratic, but not
Blu tlerite.
