Buffers Opponent - Pierce Willing to
 Accep pt the Nomination.
 BOSTON, Sept. 17.-Mr. Henry l.. Pierce, in conversation yesterday with an old per- sonal friend, told him that he would accept the Republican nomination for governor if it came with unanimity. He would not do anything to cause quarrels in the party; but if the nomination should come to him, as being the best man to beat Butler, he would take it. It is now estimated that Pierce will have from two-thirds to three -fourths of the convention on the first ballot, and 8 larger proportion on the second. This statement of Mir Pierce is the most definite which he has yet been induced to make. Ex-Gover- nor Talbots withdrawal has done much to strengthen Pierce and to favor the present cordial support that he is receiving from most of the temperance voters, who have formerly opposed him.
