| Massachusetts, admirer Of Gov. Butler
confidently informed the Man on tho Avenue
yesterday that Butler would have the naming
of the democratic presidential nominee. at is
possible that he cannot obtain the nomination
himself" said tho admircr, " but ho will have
strength enough to defeat any candidate he
does not like. Ben Butler will go into tho
convention with a solid New England delcga-
! ton and strong scattering following from
other sections of tho country. Butler dele
| gates will be rs loyal to him as the 306 dele
gates ut Chicago wero to Grant. They will
not only be for Butler, but they will be for
| Buffers man. They will bo Butler through
and through. Thatwill give the gentleman
OF destiny powerful swing, and he is not
man to waste his chances neglect his op-
portunities. do not know who Butler is for,
but am quite certain it will not be Melon
aid, Pendleton, Payne, Davis, Hendricks or
any of the western brood of statesmen. Nc
Donald and Hendricks in particular will got
left if Butler has anything to do with shaping
results. They havo been too previous"

"What do you know about the row between
Senator's Mcdonald and Voorhees," was tho
l
is intimate with both gentlemen.
"There has been no row between thom, and
there will be none. Mcdonald, who is much
the stronger of the two, voluntarily took a
back scat for years out of Difference to tho
popular sentiment of the party of the state
1t was not until Hendricks announced SOL
emnly and repeatedly, after tho Cincinnati
convention, that he was out of the presidential
class thenceforth and forever that Mcdonald
camesato tho front. Hendricks's abdcation
was fully understood by democratic leaders
in the state, and il would bo an unpardon-
able piece of political treachery for him to
attempt to injure Mcdonald in any way.
The latter has stood by him Loyalty for many
years. Hendricks has assured mo several
times in the plainest terms that ho was out
of politics, and that under no circumstances
would he become II candidate for the presi-
dency again or allow himself TO be
made candidate. He has said the
same thing to others, and McDonald's
candidacy was announced upon that under
standing, If Hendricks should attempt to
knock a spoke out of the Mcdonald wheel at
home he could unquostionably split the In
diana delegation, but that is all he could hope
to do. There is no danger that he VIII do
this, however, and when the timo for action
arrives he will be found among McDonald's
supporters. | have seen tho two men in
friendly conversation since that ban
quot, at which they were represented
TO have coldly ignored each other.
It cannot be truthfully said that the social
relations between the two men are as COR
dial as formerly, but that is on account of an
alleged afTront given Mrs. Mcdonald by Mrs,
Hendricks soon after the McDonald-Barnard
wedding, and politics does not enter into
that misunderstanding in tho slightest de-
gree, nor will it be allowed to figure there,
That is purely a private matter, with the
settlement or non on-settlement of which neither
political parties nor the public will bo per.
mitted 10 meddle. 1t is an impertincnco,
almost, to speak of this phase OF the question,
as IL is of no concern to any person not di-
rectly interested"
