Butler Dethroned.

General Butler has ceased to be the boss
Democrat OF Massachusetts. The Chicago
convention revealed his weakness so clearly
that nobody now is afraid to 'sass' him.
The Bay State club, a Massachusetts Demo-
cratic organization, gave a complimentary
dinner Saturday to the delegates to the
Chicago convention. Butler was not pres
ent, and not DOLLY was he not missed, but the
speakers talked about him in a way that
was perfectly shocking. For example DR..
Hoar, delegate, blurted out the truth 10
this fa,hion, -"Coming as 1 do from the
city and home of General Butler, of course
was enthusiastic in regard to General But
ler's candidacy. When / arrived at Chicago
found that enthusiasm was wrapped up in
the Massachusetts delegation, and that we
could not find any in any other State or Ter
ritory of the Nnion." And the Globe, the
Butler organ, whose editor presided at the
feast, inserts after this expression, the cruel
word, (laughter)! They laughed, these
Democrats did, at the weakness and hu-
initiation of "the old man." Two months
ago they would have protested with oaths
that he was the worthiest and noblest Dem
ocrat in the land, that they loved him with
uRalterable devotion; and now, at Parker
House festival, they laugh when somebody
mocking)y refers to the emptiness of their
imposition.
But that is not all. Hon. Patrick Ma.
guire slapped the broad cheek of General
Butler in this vigorous fashion.
When General Butler withdrew 1 felt it nv duty
to exercise my own right of judgment, and / voted
for the man thought best qualified to fill the posi-
ton. want to abide by the decision of that CON
vention, applause and cannot see for the life of
me how any man could go into that convention. and
participate in that convention, and wait until now
to say whether he will abide by its. decision. zap
plause).
1t is quite plain what that means. These
are specimens. The Democratic party will
throw over General Butler just as willingly
as it took him up, and General Butler will
throw the Democratic party just as willing
ly as he throws away anything which no
longer serves him. There is no sincerity in
either of them. The Massachusetts, Demo-
Gratis did not mean it when they were
protesting to think he was great and good
man, and he did not mean it when he was
protesting to believe the Democratic party
was great and good. He took the party up,
and the party took him up, as political
speculation. There wasn't particle of
principle at stake,or point of honor, except
such honor as bind the inscriptions while
they are engaged in common enterprise
for selfish ends. 1t was in the graphic words
of Mr.. Curtis, "a conspiracy for plumber and
spois." 1t has ceased to be profitable and
both sharpers are hunting "flats'' on their
own account now.

dence of desperate makeshift to get conso-
lation out of the situation was the midnight
prank of suspending Democratic flag from
the poles erected last week for the Republi
can flag to be raised at the corner of York
and Bracket streets tomorrow night. The
conception and execution showed a nice
sense of fitness. 1t was little flag, Just
large enough to indicate Democratic feeble
ness. 1t was put out in the darkness as if
the trespassers were as ashamed of having
any thing to do with it as most Democrats are
OF having belonged to that party during the
past twenty-five years. 1t was fraudulent
appropriation of what did not belong to
them by right, like the unsuccessful attempt
to steal power in this State and the more
successful exploits in the same direction of
the night-riding Kuklux Khan and ballot-box
manipulators in Southern States. Further
more the little flag will be hauled down in
disgrace as the confederate Democratic flags
were after Appomatox, and as Democrat
ic campaign banners have been after every
national election since. 1t will quickly give
place to the glorious flag of Union, liberty,
equal rights, protection to American labor,
and Blaine and Logan. The little Demo-
cratic flag is days joke, the wonder of
Sunday idlers; but the Republican flag
which will succeed it is the nations reliance,
and will float in honor and triumph when
the Democratic party, with its vain tricks
and dark ways is only disag-eeable remin
iscence. The Republican flag to be raised
tomorrow night is workingmen's flag. It
aas been purchased by the contributions of
the Republicans of the vicinity and is tes-
timony of their zeal and enthusiasm. The
Republicans of the whole city will apprec-
ate their exertions and in rebuke of this per-
formance will turn out to help celebrate the
first Republican fag-rasing il that neigbor-
hood.

The Democratic press are proving to their
own satisfaction that all of Cleveland's We
toes were in the interest Of the laboring
man. Bills which the laboring men thought
to be for their interest and which the New
York legislature thought to be 80 too, &C
eosding to these vsracious papers, Gov.
Cleveland habitually discovered were really
in the interests of the monopolists. 1t is
certainly strange that in this condition Of
things the laboring men are not throwing up
their hats for Cleveland and hailing him as
their savior. But they are not, and for the rea'
son, we suppose, that they are cherishing the
foolish notion that they know what they
want and what is for their interest better
than the New York governor.

preference for Mr.. Blaine. Republicans

him, and do not now. But If he is as great
man as the Democratic press, especially
the Democratic press of Maine, has pic

Against Consolidation.

Large Nesting in Westviue = Addresses
 potnte to Oppose the Scheme.
 A large meeting of the residents of West vile was held in Franklin Hall last evening for the purpose of consi iteration of the consolidation of the town and city govern ments, bill at present being pending before the Legislature for this purpose. It is well known that the proposed legislation is strong ly objected to by the residents of that portion of the town known as the "Annex" as well as Westville. In the former district meet ing has already been held and strong con- demnatory resolutions have been passed in regard to the project.
 At the meeting in Franklin Hall last even- ing L. w. Beecher, of the Swift, Courtney E Beecher company, presided and Henry c. Pardee acted as secretary. Addresses in op- position to the proposed consolidation were made by Hobart l.. Hotchkiss, Mir. Clapp, H. c. Pardee and others.
 Resolutions similar to those passed at the meeting in the Annex" were adopted and a committee consisting of l.. w. Beecher, IN. filling and H. c. Pardee were appointed to confer with the ''Annex' committee and op pose the proposed legislation regarding con- solidation. The meeting was very enthusi- ast1c one and there evident determi- nation to resist by all legal means anything aud everything tending to advance the pro- posed consolidation scheme.

MT. Henley, of Colorado, called attention to the omission from Mir. Cutcheon's speech when printed in the Record of that part wherein he referred to General Grants con- version to the Porter case in connection with the bill putting him (Grant) on the retired list of the army.
 Attempts to continue the debate in commit tee under the five minute rule was cut of by 8 motion by General Slocum that the con- mittee rise which was agreed to. To avoid threatened filibustering MT. Slocum yielded twenty. five minutes for additional debate to the opponents of the bill and with this un- derstanding the House went again into oom- mittee. A portion of this time was occupied by Mir. Henderson, of Illinois, in defense of Pope as brave gallant and loyal officer. This bill might be accepted as vindication of Porter, but 1t would not be so accepted by the soldiers of his State.
 MT. Peters, of Kansas, asserted that there was not man in SiegePs command who would say Porter's sentence was too severe.
 Mir. Robinson, of Ohio, said it was mere child's play to say that Porter could not have marched that night.
 MT. Steele, of Michigan, offered an amend ment substituting the name of Ward B. Burnett in place of Fitz John Porter with the necessary verbal changes; s;-rejected.
 Mir. Calklns offered an amendment pro- viding for new board of seven to rehear the case, to sit with openSS ors;-reiected.
 MT. Converse, of Ohio, offered an amend ment striking out the words Sin his discre- tion" so as to cut off an otherwise possible restoration to active service. This was &C., cepted by Mir. Slocum and agreed to.
 The bill was then reported to the House and the previous question was ordered. General Slocum yielded the closing hour of debate to MT. Curtin, who made an eloquent appeal in behalf of the son of an old Penn sylvania family and himself born in Penn sylvania. Grant, Sherman, Thomas and oth- CTS had been censured. He appealed for justice for this victim of mistake at Wash ington. At the close of Mir. Curtin's remarks the vote was taken and the bill passed-yeas 184, nays 7s.
