ahead of his ticket.
BOSTON, Nov. 6.-The Globe, the
Democratic organ, comedies the cleo
tion of Robinson by 10000 majority
the Traveller claims 28OOO, the Her
aid claims 10000 and upward, and the
Advertisers extra thinks Robinson's
majority exceeds $4,000. The Trav-

The Journal says, editorially: What
AppomattoX was to the Confederacy,
was the election yesterday to Butler
and Butlerism. Both the man and
the thing have been annihilated, and
for such result all decent people, not
only of Massachusetts but of both
parties throughout the country, should
be profoundly thankful, because the
one man in this country who could
rally around him the ignorant and
vicious elements has been cast down
for the last time.
BOSTON, Nov. 6.-Returns from 1893
towns and cities, with 12to hear from,
give Robinson 1882 ajorty over
SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 6.-The recep-
tion rendered to Robinson at the
Springfield city hall at 10 o'clock this
evening was an unprecented ovation
for this locality. He came from
Chicago by special train and was es-
corted to the hall by band and COM
mittee and introduced as the first gov
ernor of Massachusetts, ever elected in
Hampden county. He could not be-
gin his speech for some minutes be-
cause of the applause. He spoke less
than ten minutes, saying that this
contest ends not in triumph to one
man but to the whole people.
WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. GA sa-
Lutte of 100 guns was fired by the Re
publicans.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 6.-The
Republican will say /: The people re-
sponded mot guilty" to the infamous
charges Of Gov. Butler. Let all the
world take notice that Massachusetts
has not had a loose, dishonest, extra
VACANT or corrupt administration.
Massachusetts is not yet given over
to the domination of ignorant foreign
born or foreign fathered old stock and
old spirit Democracy. Freedom from
and repugnance to one man dOmineer-
ing and devotion to popular education
is still regnant and triumphant. This
spirit animates many of those born
on our soil of foreign parentage.
Massachusetts cannot be permanently
held in control by any party which
makes clap-trap, which appeals to ig-
norance, prejudice and stupidity Of
the people; attempts to excite feel
ing against the Republicans as party
of aristocracy and capital has Iniser-
ably failed. Massachusetts believes
more than ever in capacity, common
schools and enlightened people to gov
ern themselves overthrow dernago-
CUES and vlndicate their own honor. i,
