Reception TO General Butler.
Boston, Sept 22.-The Peoples party
opened the campaign at Lynn tonight by a
reception to General Butler and two immense
rallies at Music Hall and the Coliseum. A
great crowd greeted the General as he alighted
from the train and was driven to tho residence
of Hon. j. N. Buffum, where he took tea.
Senator Grady of New York arrived later and
was received by the reception committee.
After supper General Butler and Senator
0AnQI WOIO uItfon w IMuolC HAIL. WHICH WAS
densely packed. Moses M. Libby presided
and introduced General Butler as the peoples
candidate. The latter briefly returned thanks
for the cordial reception and said that he did
not think il was the peoples candidate which
had attracted so many but the deep interest
which every right-minded citizen had in the
welfare OF the country. He had not come to
say anything bad about any man but he would
say very frankly that there were mora bad
men in the Republican sparty than in the
in hat hoO0 4hn
can party had been long in power and its bad
men had been found out. He then turned to
the present condition of the country and said
why is it that we find all of our factories
closed and our workshops idle?" It was be-
cause the manufacturer could not sell his
goods. One man would say this was due to
high protection; another would say it was free
trade; but he himself would say it was be-
cause of under consumption. We had great
deal too much OF that in this country. When
he saw man going along the street with two
patches on his pantaloons 1t was no use for
anybody to tell him that he was manufactur-
Ing too many goods; that man was consuming
too few. Uaughter)
The General then spoke of the difficulty in
getting the crops of the West to eastern mark
cts cheaply because of railroad monopolies, land
the Republican party was responsible for all
this That was a grand old party when it
started; ke knew something about it, for he
helped make it. 1t was formed to free 4,000,-
600 of slaves; that party came into power, and
after time railroad men began to turn to it
until it became the party of monopolists, and
so he lett it and went over to the Democrats.
They had not had a President for twenty
years, and had done nothing; they had no OPP
portunity to do anything, aud nothing could be
said against men who had done nothing. The
Democrats had elected but one President in
twenty years, and then he didn't have pluck
enough to take his seat. (Laughter) The
General then narrated the circumstances of his
leaving the Democratic party as given in
previous speeches..
1t is true the Republican party gave freedom
to the slave and gave him ballot but it has
not had executive ability enough, and honesty
OF purpose enough to give him a free ballot
and fair Count since. Put anything like
man in the Presidential chair and there would
be no such thing as a Danville or Copiah mas
sacre, and every man engaged in one would be
put In prison. ooh Goo! for an hour of An
drew Jackson" (Applause.) We are here to
see what shall be done, be continued. There
are 100000 laboring men in this country
and yet men say to me, "Do you expect to get
elected?" Why, IT you laboring men all vote
together shall be elected and they would
think it was a unanimous thing. Now why
don't you do it? (Applause.) I'll tell you
why. Monopoly always wins, labor never
wins. They keep telling you of the grand old
party and what it has done. For Gods sake
let them do it. So they tell you the same OF the
Democratic party, but you say, 81 would
like to vote for you, but cannot throw my
vote away" My Democratic friend, what have
you been doing but throwing your vote away,
and you, my Republican friends, have been
doing worse, for your votes have fastened all
this monopoly upon us. We are fighting for
good cause-treedom of the laboripg men,
Vote, then, three, four or five years together,
and if your votes don't do you any good, then
go back to your old party, but try it little
while" Sepatar Grady and others also made
addresses.
