 Butler Talks to the GRangers.
 HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 29.-The threat ening weather was no preventive of crowd | ed attendance at Williams Grove on this the last day of the Changers picnic. The pres ence of General B. F. Butler was the great attraction and the remarks of the labor can- didate for President received an appreciatiye hearing. After formal introduction Gen eral Butler eomplimented the Changers on 1 the excellence of their farms and farm pro- ducts and said he was here to denounce the { laws of country which can be so manipu- ! lated as to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. While the money of the laboring man flows in steady stream of taxes into the government treasury, MT. Vanderbilt, who owns $25, ,000, 900 of securities, says he is not taxable. Here you are fighting every day over State rights and little things like that and you are being bled every day while you fighting. The farm CTS pay exorbitant taxes because his property is out of doors and the tax collec- tor can see it. What good has voting the Democratic or Republican ticket done you farmers? You voted them because they were your parties. You could not tell another reason to save your souls. It did not make coppers difference to you which won. The farmers would have settled the presidential election in 1880 if they stood to- gether. You have no right to murmur against wrong if you have the power to right it. Vote for yourselves for time and then if you cannot do any good go back to \ the old parties, but they will be dead and \ buried before that time comes General Butler referred at length in the closing DOT ' tion of his address to railroad freight dis elimination against the producer and left the | platform amid cheers from his hearers. He took the next train for the East. The Massachusetts PrOh1bitIonfsts. ! BOSTON, Aug. 29-The Prohibitionist State committee has issued a long address to the voters of Massachusetts in which they repeat the statistics of the liquor traffic in the strongest light, especially the amount of

 and give decidedly caustic and interesting review of the records of the Republican and Democratic parties and their candidates with ' the weakness of both placed in a strong I light They call upon all citizens to cooper l ate in their State convention and labor from Il now until election for the success of St. John I and Daniel
 MT. Blaine Still at Bar Harbor.
 BAR HARBoR, Maine, Aug. 29.-Whether
 the weather, his physician, or his own wish \ decided Mr. Blaine did not leave Bar Harbo1
 to-day. He seems to be rapidly recovering and to-day took short walk up Mount Desert street with William Walter Phelps, with whom he appeared to be holding an
 earnest conversation, emphasizing his re-
 marks by forcible gesticulations. MT. Phelps
 leaves Monday.
 CIeveIand's Return to Albany. ALBANY, N Y, Aug. 29.-Governol

 the discharge of his duties in quiet $ manner as possible.
 Sehurz Replies to Senator Hoar.
 BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 29.-Carl Schurz has
 written long open letter to Senator Hoar in reply to the latter's criticism of his Brooklyn \ address, which criticisms appeared in a re- ! cent published letter of Senator Hoar;s to young friend MT. Schurz takes up one by
 one the points of his address criticised by
 the Senator, corrects what he claims to be R the Senator's mistakes and furnishes some
 additional matter in support of his first con- \ clusions in the cases of Messrs. Blaine and Cleveland. The letter is very strong one
 and is likely to create considerable comment
 and discussion during the balance of the
 campaign.
