Lieut.. Gov. Oliver Ames, in an interview,
correctS some misstatements made by cor
respondent of the New York Tribune regard
ing his position in the last campaign and his
attitude toward Gov. Butler. He says: "Per-
sonally, am warm friend of Gov. Butler,
but IN politics | am in direct opposition to
him. When the General was prominent
candidate for the Republican nomination in
1873 worked hard for him, but he was Re-
publican then. When he entered into the in
dependent movement he wrote me that he
wished to see me. sent back word that if
he desired to see me on political matters /
must decline to favor him, but upon any other
subject | should delight to confer with him.
have been chairman of my town committee
ever since the Republican party was born---in
1886, and have ever since invariably voted
the Straight Republican ticket have never
voted a scratched ticket. During last years
campaign did not act with the town COM
mittee, because / was candidate for office,
and / did not want to go about blowing my
own trumpet. Some men can do it, but
can't. Gen. Butler once did kind act for
nay father, and esteem him very highly as
man, but politically he is demagogue. In
deed, have told him as much to his face. /
have advised him to earn the approval of the
batter element of society-adyised him as a
friend rather than as o Political enemy. But
he has seen fit to take the opposite course
told him that in the Tewksbury investigation
he acted like an advocate rather than as one
trying to get at the facts in the case. The
Governors reply was, "Well, 1 have made
my case" When met the Governor in the
Executive Chamber after he had delivered
his argument said to him, 81 congratulate
you, Goveanor, that you are through with
Tewksbury." He replied, s'You can at least
do that" He could not but notice that did
not congratulate him on his argument, which
was, as you know disgraceful, and contained
many indecencies. which, sthink, must hurt
his prospects in the minds of all right-thinking
men. The Goveanor is a pleasant gentleman
and value his friendship highly But, as /
told the Governor himself, politically he is al
together bad He Is neither Republican nor
Democrat. He cares only for Butler"
