Considering lSutler's advanced axc, TINS
disaster winds up his political career. SO far
as the State of Massachusetts ut large is con-
cerncd. Once or the track of success thero
III n State election he never can get o z again.
But if he should wish To fcncw his reputation
ns a distuibcr OF thu pcacs III the popular
branch of Congress-, his vote indicates that
there are several districts where he could
find an opportunity. We deem IL prolahl0
that Gny. butler iiever will make nm attempt
again to carry the Massachusetts State.honse
by assault. but will apply himself hereafter,
I'm combination with Mr.. Wendell Phillips and
other agitafors. and very likely with his
friend. our own John Kelly, to get up new
National Iarty on the .captal and labor"
issue.
ISrringfc1d Republican,
People respond mot guilty" 10 the infn-
nous charges Of Gov. Butler. Let all tho
world take notice that Massachusetts has not
had = loose. dishonest, extra tagant or corr
rupt administration. Massachusetts IL not
yet given over to tho domination Of ignorant,
forcign-born or forcigli-fathcred. Massachu-
by any party which makes clap-trap aplcn's =
to ignorance, prejudice and st,Il idity. The
attempts to excite feeling against the Rcpnh-
licans rs the party OF aristocracy, blue blood
md capital have miserably fuel.
