old mans favor and become his po-
liGcal legaiee by Gathering h'm as
they are now Doing; and, besides it
appears that neither the Governor
nor Mr.. Flower desired any occasion
TO arise which would show their
strength or exact position at this
stage Of the proceedings. That is
all that this cry for Tilden's nomi-|
nation by these New Workers mean"
Meanwhile Gen. Butler, who is less
modest than these budding Demo-
cratic statesmen in the Empire
State, has already accepted nomi-
nation or two and stated his desire
to get all he can in that line, He
will undoubtedly receive the nomi-
nation of the Greenbackers to as
semble in Indianapolis in few days
and have strong force at the
Democratic National Convention,
and it is not at all without possibili

honor that that Gody viii have to
hestow. 1t may be mentioned in
this connection that one of the
leaders of what is left of the Green
back party in Washington informed
your correspondent this week, that
he was going to the Indianapolis
convention, and while he did not ex-
pect to defeat General Buffers
nomination, he would be able to
and should organize a bolt. As the
regular nomination of this nearly
extinct party, If it can be said to
have ever had an existence, will
neither help nor hurt anyone, it is
not likely that the "bolt" will be
felt, if it is ever heard of.
There was quite lively time in
the House yesterday over the Eng
lish-Peelle contested election case.
The day before the House had
agreed to the minority resolution
confirming Mr.. Peelle's right to hi:

this vote that the STIR came. Mr.

= Mr.. William II. English, the Demo
cratic candidate for Vice President
four years ago. As it was very
doubtful whether Mr.. English, Jr.

which he wanted so badly, and was
trying for so hard-though he had

his father, who is an ex-Member Of
the House, to lobby for him in the
matter. Pere English came on with

Of his son. The charge created q
real sensation among the Members
on both sides Of the House. Subse

question Of retaining Mr.. Peelle il
his seat and lost, the vote standing
l28 yeas to 129 nays, and Mr.. Eng

The Legislative Executive and
judicial appropriation bill, which
was reported to the House this week
