General Buffers Candidacy,

UeneFHi buffers anutuaty,
The candidacy oi General Butler is
for the moment attracting considerable
attention in the uewspa er> and among
the political quidnuncs of the country.
a little reflection must conv nee any
one that as National movement, ex-
cep, in so far a, the loss of the compar-
atvelv few votes he will yet may affect
the Demo ratio aud Republican candi-
dates i'll two or three States, the candi-
da Y of General Butler is an unmpor-
tant political event. General Butler
represents no prin iple. and no even
sentiment. He and his followers can
not become the nucleus of new party.
He stands for no principle aud in no
way that is intellig BILE proposes any re-
form. lie represents neither revenue
reform nor protection in such manner

tcrent views on the sub ect OF the tariff

They may be in Cleveland's favor, or
they may elect Blaine Why, look at
Massachusetts. The day after the cleo
ton it was given out that Blaine's plu-
rality was 10000, when in fact, it was
%. 900. Why, the night before last IN
New York an old staff officer of mine
came to me, saying he had heard of a
dispatch going over the wires from the
Windsor Hotel, signed B. F. Jones, and
advising Blaine that Cleveland had been
elected. Ny old army friend was badly

General, was there ever a Presi-
Dental election in this country before
that depended upon so close a voter"
mo, sir; never. In 1856 Pennsyl-
vania was the pivotal State and Ere
mont was elected. but Democratic Re
turning Board discovered that he did
not have as many votes as there were
cast for him and he was defeated. You
remember that in 1876 the election was
given up for two weeks, but the Repub-
licans Returning boards ascertained
that the vote was different from that
cast. -
General, did your vote reach your
expectation"
my vote was larger than I expected.
You see my vote was not counted ex-
cept in Michigan. 1t was not cast for
me. My vote was protection vote and
an Irish vote, and when it was appar
ent that there was danger of Cleveland's
election, these men determined to vote
directly for Blaine. A vote for me was
only half a vote against Cleveland.
They saw that, and cast their vote for
Blaine, hence l say my vote, except in
Michigan, was not counted"

BrOt' erly Affection.

Two brothers, one living in Montana.
the other one in northern Utah. had not
corresponded with each other for a
number OF years. Finally the Montana
man broke the long silence with a letter
than began as follows:
II is an eternal shame
To live so close together,
And never correspond,
Not even about the weather.
And went on 1nquiring about prices Of
calves, etc. The Utah man started his
answer as follows:
If your love for calves wasn't larger than
for me,
The eternal shame would still IN
broken be.
And gave him the desired information.
