ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
A s.QuerulOas Old Man"

Boston, Sept. 27.-The Peoples party
had two enthusiastic rallies in this city
last night, one at Fanueil Hall and the
other at fremont Temple, while an over
flowing meeting was held in Merronon.
Gen. Butler spoke at the two former
places and was warmly received. In Fan
uiel Hall there was a large audience,
many ladies appearing in the galleries.
While he was speaking, Gen. Butler en-
tered and was loudly cheered. Mrs. Julia
Crafts Smith, in behalf of the lady ad-
mirers Of the General, presented him a
drum used at the battle Of New Orleans
and Mrs. l.. M. Warner presented him
with a large floral horseshoe. The gifts
we're acknowledged by the General, who
was then introduced. The General
alluded to the fact that the band had
played "The Girl l Left Behind Me- on
his entering. 81 suppose" he remarked,
that was about the nearest emblematic
music the musicians could find to repre-
sent the two old parties, that i have left

needed no long platform or exposition of
principles. 1t could be remembered by every
one as a golden guide, equal rights, equal
powers, equal burdens and equal privileges
to all men under the law. Applause.
For years the people have been perform
ing their duty so far as voting ia concerned
and why they had not accomplished any
thing for themselves was because they only
had q choice, in voting, between to candi-
dates where nomination was secured
through the working Of political ma
chinery. There has not been an honest
convention, before Wednesday last, in
either party of this Commonwealth for
years. As it made no difference who they
nominated he could not see any use of
cheating. But he had found out why they
did it. Judge Endicott had said he would
accept if the nomination was rendered
with a reasonable degree of unanimity.
Southey put in 1880 fraudulent votes in
order to show that the convention was in
unsniminity. Cheers. 1t is the mis-
cradle hounds who take pay from either
side who do this business, and | am glad
to see re have got rid of the man who sold
US out last Fall and would cheat us again.
Applause. The General then referred to
the soldiers pension business. II is a part

paid an honest country has paid its debts.
Applause. 1t makes no difference who
is elected if the people get their rights. If
you stand by me l may not be elected, but
the people will win. | Am a querulous old
man and tell all l know. will tell you
what my proposition is. 1t is to found a
new party of the people-to SOW seed now
which will fructify and produce fruit here
after. Whoever votes for me can't throw
his vote away, for although I may soon
pass away, the peoples cause will never
pass away, and another better and stronger
man than will take up what l have laid
down. God will raise up some man strong
enough, bold enough and energetic enough
to meet the occasion which shall call him
forward.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-John McCullough's
engagement here, the past week, has re-
vived in the papers the discussion as to the
mental and physical condition of the emf.
nent tragedian. He has been enacting the
rolls of Virginus throughout the entire
week. On Wednesday night he presented
the part IN a manner as to call for the I'M
qualified praise of all the critics. On the
other nights there have been lspses of
memory and variations in his observance
Of the stage business. that show him to be
suffering from a form of moral incertitude,
