The Boston Herald, in summing up
The prospects in Massachusetts,, says:
Reports from all over the State indicate
that Butler cannot hold his following.
The sober second thought Of those who
we're naturally tempted to follow his ban
ner will take them hack to their allegiance.
They see that the contrary course would
inevitably lead to the disruption
of the party with which they have
been affiliated and the triumph Of the
Republicans Butler might be paid for
it. but they would be left out in the cold.
The Prohibitionists are going to poll a
larger vote for their ticket than ever be-
fore. They will get the support of many
conscientious Republicans who cannot
support Blaine, but are unable to overcome
their prejudice against the Democratic
party. Finally, We come to the hide
pendent vote thrown frankly for Cleve-
land and Hendricks. That ia going to be
a large vote-larger than ia generally esti'
mated. Many such votes will be silently
east. We hear OF none Of those who
have opposed Blaine turning back to him.
So We say that there il a good fighting
chance for the Democrats and lh.ir allies
70 carry Massachusetts,.

"Not Good To Vie To-"

The origin of the expression 1T won't
do TO tie TO" was explained to Repub-
hcdn reporter yesterday, and the story
may be Of interest at this time when
there Is a prospect of its being used ex-
tensively before November in connec-
ton with political tickets and candi-
dates.
About thirty-6ve years ago, according
to the reporters informant, Captain
Swan, now a resident of this city, and
an octogenarian, was coming up on his
boat from New Orleans TO St. Louis.
When near the mouth of the Red River
the captain decided TO run ashore and
tie up for the night. The mate ordered
plank 20 be thrown out where a dark
object, supposed TO be a stump, seemed
to offer good opportunity to tie up. A
man was ordered out TO the end of the
plank and commenced winding the rope
around the object TO secure the boat,
when huge paw struck him, almost
knocking him into the river, and tear
ing "A great rent i'm his clothes The
supposed stump proved to be n bear
who sat on his launches watching the
boat, while the light blinded his eyes.
The man scrambled for dear life and
succeeded in regaining the boat, when
he exclaimed that's mighty good
place TO land, but that bear amt a good
thing to tie to."-The ST. Louis ReDu6-
