Hitting ben When He's Down.
Bosros Mass !, Nov. 6.-Tbe Herald
says This finishes Butler. Massachus-
etts has spoken in earnest and with full
voice, never more be officer Of mine. 1t
Is true he has not been able to per
manently injure Massachusetts,, for his
power Is limited and her institutions
are strong. The disgrace was in elect
ing him. The State will survive and
look back with shame upon this wild
Butler frolio when Butler is dust. The
Temocrats Of Massachusetts, will rue the
day when, in defiance Of principle and
honor and for the hope of spoils, they
allowed such demagogue to capture
their party. The great victory achieved
Is not victory for party, but for oil citi.
zens who love their State and approve
Of decency in office. All honor to the
Democrats who refused to bow the knee
to the demagogue.
The Journal says, editorially: "What
Appomattox was to the Confederacy,
the election yesterday was to Butler and
Butlerism. Both the man and the thing
has been annihilated. For such a result
the people, not only OF Massachusetts,,
but both parties throughout the country
should be profoundly thankful, because
the one man In this country who could
rally about him the ignorant and vicious
elements has been cast down for the last
time.

ticket are J. b Niles, Republican, Rob-
crt Taggart, Democrats; for Auditor.
General; William Lively, Republican,
and Joseph Powell, Democrat. for State
Treasurer. The Greenback and Prohi.
bition parties both have candidates In the
field for these places but their vote Is so
small a. not to be factor in the fight.

Democratic and Republican sides that
comparison of figures shall be made with
