Opposition to Butler for Governor
-RepubIican Prospects.

BoSrON, Ju y 22-tiossip p and specu-
latiUn are rltr a> 10 the probable ont.
come of the contest for Governor. A
w"llknown Republican, who has re-
turned from an extensive tour through
the State, says: "We are going to
whip Bu Ter badly. Everywhere that
have been have found our men en-
thnsiastic over the coming campaign.
There is general sentiment that there
should be no wrangling over candi-
date.
"Only giveu.a sound Republican and
then go ahead. The best thing that |
have seen is the enthusiasm Of the old
party leader, in the connt y towns
They don't need any coaxing this year,
AMI when they are aroused you may
look out for the Republican reserve vote
coming out. Last fall fully 5000 Re-
publican voters stayed at home, and
all Of 10000 voted for Butler Now,
this year, two.thirds Of the stay AT
homes will 60 to the polls, and a large
proportion OF the ButeriZed' men of
our party will retarn to us.
"Tne statement Of a Democratic State
Committeeman hat it will require $50,
600 votes 70 whip the Republicans, is
Lot SO wide Of the mark. 1t will re-
uuire more vot than that. | have
found many influential men who voted
for Butler last year who frankly declare
| that ley are going to vote and work
against him this time. They expected
better things of him, and are botL in,
dignant and repentant.
"The Republican managers are aP.
parenrlv undecided who to put forward
as "A candidate. Several names have
been mentioned, but il is impossible at
this date to say who the coming man
will he. Ex-Governor Talbot is strongly
urged Iy some, blt he would be opposed
by the liquor interests throughout the
State, owing TO his strong Temperance
principle, and to his positive position
in regard TO the Civil Damage act.
