TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
BosToN, Oct. 13.-Butler opened his canvass IN
three great meetings in as many halls on WeoueS-
day evening" with speech IN each one
of them As usual his reckless talk offers more
opportunities for the opposition press than tney
can at once take care of. But his worst pluhder
was the Safeguarding OF the nlne-mohths resE
msnts in order to attack Colonel Goldman. This
has aroused the bittereSt aud most Determined
indignation that Butler has called forth since his
former campaigning in Massachusetts, politics The
papers are full of letters from old soldiers denounc
ing him some of them from men who say they have
hitherto supported him. The only new develop
ment in his speeches is his proclamation, in several
different ways, of his candidacy for the Presidency
as the representative and champion of the poor
and lowly. Putting this and that together, some
of the Republicans at headquarters have come to
the conclusion that the Republican national party
leaders are not unwilling that Butler shall
WIN his reelection here in order to de-
moralize the national Democratic party for
the Presidential year. There may be other
reasons for the Discrimination of many Republican
Senators and leaders of national standing outside
of the State to enter the Massachusetts campaign,
but this explanation that Butler as Democratic
claimant will render the Republican campaign OF
1884 the more promising, finds some supporters.
Massachusetts, however, does not accept the ar
rangement with the sacrifice of her honor and good
name involved.
