GOVERNOR BUTLER is doing things
up in Massachusetts, in snowy style.
On commencement day at Harvard,
June "a, he drove to the college in
a carriage drawn by six horses, and
had a military escort to accompany
him. The Yankees are not happy
over the display that the Governor
made. Some wicked person says
that the criticism against Butler is

is, the envy of the poor who cannot
afford to run team of six horses in
a carriage, and the second is the en-

run carriage and six horses, but
cannot have the military escort. If
the wicked persons remark is true
there is one thing certain about it,
and that is, that there is a good deal
of envy among the people in the
Hub State. When Governor Patti
son of this State walked at the time
of inauguration he was not enyied.
