How Butler Like. the Nomination.

WASHINGTON CITY, May H.-Gen Butler
was on the floor of the house when he re
ceived the information that he had been
nominated for president by the Anti Monop.
oily convention at Chicago. He did not CON
ceal the fact that he was pleased upon re-
csiving the information. He had talk with
number of leading Democrats, in which he
discussed political matters. He admitted
that he hoped to receive the Democratic
nomination at Chicago.
There are many Democrats here who think
that, after Tlden, Butler has the best chance
to be the Democratic nominee. 1t is quite
surprising to notice the number of admirers
he has The Michigan men are red-hot for
him. Lee Crandall, The National View edi-
tor and Greenbacker, says Butler will be
nominated by reclamation, that the sizs of
that convention will astonish the country,
and that the platform adopted by it will b.
drawn by Gen. Buffers own hand, and will
be liberal, progressive and popular, designed
to start such boom as will result in the gen
erals Endorsement by the Democrats.
