! Hutlcr, IIunlur nntl Dignity.


Ben Buffers canvass is not without
amusing features, and Ben, himself, is
) not altogether Hnamusng. OF course the
3 Democrats who once hung around his
neck are uttcring curses loud and deep
against him, but Ben is imperturbable and
goes right along rs il there was no cursine
! whatever Ii We are not mistaken Butler
is paying his own expenses, and ii such be
the case he has n perfect. right to run ior
whatever Office he pleases. -
In his speech 10 the workingmen at Chi.
cago recently he advised them not to form
expensive campaign clubs and make mon.
keys Of themselves paradns. This was
good enough advice III its way and showed
that Ben really had some consideration
Tor the purses Of the liberal workingmen,
for us u rule they contribute according 10
their ability, and some really beyond it;
but it was a touching proof that he did not
expect to be elected and didn't care to
have his admirers 80 to any extra eX7
pense on his account. This was verified
later on his speech when he said: 81
have been asked il l expect to be elected
His answer was that he didn't know, but
Z lilo expected to run nevertheless. Sc
3js While Ben is humorous on the stump
lie appears to be very punctillious in pri-
yate life, and resents any undue iamili-
arity. After his speech he repaired to his
hotel, and n millionaire broker OF Chicago,
and n long time friend Of his, walked up
to him and familiarly slapping him on the
shoulder said, "lIcllo, old fel, how are
YOU Now anyone ouldlavcapproachcd
George William Curtis Or Henry Ward
{ Beechcr in the same manner with impun-
ity and been perfectly safe from rebukc.
But Ben, it appears, wouldn't have it, and
informed his friend il he repeated the act
he would b.labor his head with a cane.
The paralyzcd broker followed him to his
room, but Butler was inllexiblc and ended
the conversation by showing him the door.
This shows that in addition to the funny
features Of tho campaign Ben is also de-
termincd to add little dignity 10 balance
the humorous end OF il. Butler, Humor
and Dignity will DO the legend on the gon.
falon OF this new party. ~ B s =
