BosToN, Oct 26.-General Butler has ad-
dressed letter to j. B. Abbot, Esq, explain
ing the charges that he (Butier) had made a
trade with Chandler in the interest of Blaine
Butler says:
The story of meeting Chandler on the
Iallapoosa is a very plain one. Lieut..
Greely, who was an old friend and constitu
ent Of mine, and one whom / tried to assist
when in congress to carry out his ideas of
the north pole expedition, had
returned home from that periious
and important voyage, and was received
by the citizens in my native state of New
Hampshire. Chandler invited several gen.
tlemen of prominence to Portsmouth to
honor Greely and his brave associates.

J. Randall, with whom / was many years in
congress. and went on board the Tallapoosa
with him, and there met Chandler ana other
men of distinction. spent nv time es-
pecially in Randall's company, aud was with
him more than any other gen tleman on board.
We we're engaged part of the time
talking politics. He assuring me he had
made ap his mind to suppost Cleveland, as
be has done, and advising me very strongly
TO dothe same. Much as IgegFetted 10 part
with him, told him l could not, for reasons
Ihaye since made very public. At my re-
quest the Talfapoosa ran frofn Portsmouth
over to Cape Ann, where is my seashore
home. On my grounds the survivors of the
Thirty-frst Massachusetts regiment were
holding reunion under the auspices of Col.
Jonas H. French, their old commander
and late president of the Demo
cratic state convention. Mr.. Chan
| dler and myself made speeches to
the soldiers. Chandler went back to Ports
mouth on board the Tallapoosa. Randall went
to my house and stayed with me over night
and / took him down TO Gloucester, showing
him the method by which the Gloucester
fishers were conducted, and then TO Boston,
where We parted. l made no bargrin with
Chandler on board the Tallapoosa about any

with Mr.. Blaine, because be was not there.
| Chandler had not seen Mr.. Blaine since his

AUGrsTA, Wis, Fct. 24-Twelve years
ago Democrat in Augusta was almost un-
known. To-day over one half of the busi-
ness men are proud to be classed as support
ers of Coz. Cleveland, aud the vote at the
ensuing election will demonstrate that the
Republican majority of olden times is. in
deed, thing of the past The change in
parties is not as much due to an influx of
Democrats as to the fact that many of them
who have always voted the Republican ticket
have jet their eyes open and have resolved
to leave the Republican party rather than 10
vote for James G. Blaine.
Among the business men who have come
out for Cleveland. and make no secret of the
matter, are Mr.. Frank Clark, OF the firm Of
Cox Bros. 81 Clark, dry goods and clothing:
Dr. Rundiett drugs and medicines; the
Fuller BEos., proprietors Of the Augusta
FIGURING mill. These we're al Republicans,

A Republican Rally FI<zied.


HURON, Oct. 24.-Tne straight Republi-

the evening they held what they called Re
publican rally" but what 10 an outsider
seemed more like rally of faction of the
Republican party to besmear the other fac
ton. They we're not as harsh as usual on
the Democrats, for the obvious reason that
they had more ''cussedness" In their own
party than they conld do justice TO. Mr.
Miller. candidate for the council from Beadle
county, Mr.. Picker candidate for represen-
tative from Faulk county. and John H. West
over, candidate for representative from
Hughes county, made speeches.
During Nr. WestOyer's address he accused
Mr.. John Cain of having made him West
over corrupt propositions in reference to
seating the Jeffries delegation from Bcadle
county in the Redfeld convention. Mr.
Cain was present and called out that If be
(Westoverl said that he CAIN had made
any corrupt proposition to him (WestoTer)
that he lied. He accused westoyer of false.
corrupt and Infamous practices at the Red
field convention, Westover denied the
charges and stated that Cain bad tried to in
luenee him to seat the Jeffries and said that
if he did not they would snow him (Westover)
under by 5000 majority in November, but
that if he did they would elect him by that
majority,
II the people believe one-hslf what one fac
ton says against the other certainly the Re-
publican party, according to its own state
ments is too corrupt for any of its members
to be elected to FL any Office Of trust in the

WASHINGTON, Oct. ga large party of
govern ment employees started for various
portions of New York state last night, and
there was a curious difference between the
feeling of those who lived in New York and
Brooklyn and those who lived in other parts of
the state The latter were in high spirits and
expressed the utmost confidence that the Re-
publicans would carry the state by large ma
jority, but the residents OF New York and
Brooklyn expressed to the friends they left
behind them very grave doubts about the
ticket
The city promises to be duller for the next
nine days than at any previous time since the
corresponding nine days in 1880.
Five cabinet ministers are in their own
states at work or on their way there and a
large number of other officials are at home,
and as many clerks as can possibly be
spared, that IS to say, about all the voters
whose homes are not too remote, have gone
or viii go in day or two
The result is that only the possible amount
of public business Is being done, for the

There were sixteen bands in line, and al

A Touching Appeal.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


New YORK. Oct. 26.-The failure Of hun
dreds of persons who have, in former prcsi-
Dental years, been liberal contributors to the
Republican campaign fund, to respond to
the begging appeals of Chairman Warren, of
the state Committee, has had an exceedingly
discouraging and demoralizing effect upon
the Republican canvass. As last resort
the Republican committee has sent out
thousands of circulars. Some of these inter
esting documents were also sent inadver=
tently to Democrats. Very few responses
have been received, and Mr.. Warren is by
no means happy man. His very touching
appeal is AS follows:
State of New York, Republican State Com
mittee, Gilsey House, Army aud Navy
Building,
NEW YORK, Oct. l, 1884.
DEAR SIR; On the Gath of July last this
committee forwarded to you a commuuica-
ton soliciting a contribution to defray the
expenses of the campaign, to which have
no response. The expenses have been
greater than usual, aud the receipts of the
committee have not come up to those of
former presidential years. 1t is highly i'm
portaut that those most Interested in the
continued ascendency OF the Republican
party, should promptly aid in bearing the
expenses o; the campaign.
Very truly yours, JAMES D. WARREN,
Chairman.

Especial Correspondence Of the Globe
Gentlemen: Superior was started in the
good old Democratic days of 1854, '55 and
SO. Under q Democratic administration
times were good, lands and lots sold at high
prices, work was plenty, wages were high,
payments were made in gold, and we had
live city of 2, 500 people; the Military road was
built expressly for us by government money,
a land grant for railroad was secured, the
United States land Office and the Indian
agency were located here. Our friends and
property owners were in power and we could
get, and did get, all the favors asked for.
When the Republican party came into
power 1t was good bye for Superior Her
death knell was sounded. The land office
and Indian agency were speedily removed,
the town lost prestige, the population went
down to 400 souls, the land grant was di-
verted, rival towns were fostered and favored
and built up, our power and influence were
gone, and they have remained gone, and will
so remain until our friends the Democrats,
gain the ascendency again.
The present Democratic house of represen-
tativcs has treated US well. Il gave Superior
S45, 600 for her hsrbor, but under Republi-
can officials and foreign contractors where is
the money expended? In Minnesota, dredg-
ing where they dumped last year! man
with half an eye can see that it is doing Su-
perior little or no good. This $45, 900 was
given for the benefit Of Wisconsin and Su-
pcrior, and We are Of right entitled to its ex-
penditure in our town to help our workingmen
our wood dealers, our hotel keepers, our
IL. -. al
and make times good 1t was given to us
and belongs to us, yet we scarcely see dol
lar Of It. These are hard facts. No one can
deny them. The Republican party processes
10 help the workingman. See the way il
helps him in Superior by giving her money
to a rival locality, to help build it up and
pull Superior down, and this year is only a
repetition of the history of the past twenty
four years. Every Republican certainly
ought 10 hang his head in shame at the way
his party has treated this town since 1861.
Voters, consider your true interest, your
personal interest, and give us a change BY
electing Cleveland aud Hendricks and
Judge Larson and bring US and our friends
once more into power. II will help Superior
if the Democratic party succeeds this rear
Our old-time friends and largest non-resi-
dent property owners are Democrats and
they viii then have influence with the gov
ernment to get for us s100, 900 or more each
year for our narbOr, and they will see to it
that the work will be done at the entry aud
in the proper channels and their money ex-
pended in our town among our own work
ingmen, merchants and citizens. II the
Republican party gets into power again they
will continue to pull Us down and build up
other places with the aid of our money. Let
Us have a change. 1t will do US good.
In no event can ve be worse off.

with which the Republican party has been
afflicted for years, general apathy, is the lack
of interest taken by the rank and file of the
party in the discussion of political questions.
1t is common remark with many that they
are about disgusted with all parties, and don't
care which wins, and that they have about
made up their minds not to vote at ALL On
the other hand the Democrats are wide
awake. They have made no club organiza-
ton, but are all hard at work, and when
they have political meeting, every
man turns out and they ''whoop
er up" About fifty Democrats went to Eau
Claire from this village on the 21st inst to
hear Col Villas speak. When they came
back they were so full of enthusiasm that
some of our quiet citizens thought they must
have been drinking, but 1 can vouch for
every one of them that they were perfectly
sober
Judge L. R. Larson, of Eau Claire, caudi-
date for member of congress against w. T.
Price, is making a stirring canvass, and if
not elected will make Mr.. Price so close a
run that he will think he had better get the
eighth district reorganized again in his
special interest.
