BUTLER'S BOOM.

Speaking to Great Crowds at Detroit,
Grand Rapids, Muskegon, and Chicago.
After speaking to an audience estimated at
$4,000 in Detroit, Gen. Butler took the train tor
Grand Rapids. Mich, where he addressed an
assemblage estimated at 1900. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed.
From Grand Rapids the General journeyed to
Muskegon, where, he met and spoke TO another
large aSsemblage
Chicago was the next point visited. The
Times says OF the meeting in that city, which
was held in Battery ID. Armory:
The Committee OF Arrangements blundered
unpardonably in not securing accommodations
Tor at least half the audience and in failing TO
take timely steps for the preservation OF order.
hundred and fifty chairs in the center OF the
large hall were speedily utilized, and around
them hundreds OF people crowded, all trying TO
squeeze through to the front. In the vicinity
of the speakers stand the jam was suffo-
eating in the extreme and IL was almost i'm
possible for even Gen. Butler himself to
make his way through IL to the platform. The
number of ladies present did not exceed two
dozen, and IL was just as WELL as the pleasure of
hearing the speech OF the evening could hardly
compensate them for the discomfort and annoy
ance from which there was no escape. The
armory was poorly ventilated, and the heavy,
impure atmosphere made respiration difficult
aud sorely discouraged the standing collar AT
no time during the evening could perfect quiet
be obtained, the men and boys on the outskirts
contributing as much as possible TO the incon-
venience which the speaker was put TO in adj
dressing such an ill-arranged meeting In re-
Spouse 10 occasional cries OF louder"
the General told the criers that he
was do ng his best, and That IL every
man present would keep quiet there would be
no difficulty in all hearing. A turbulent char
acter Just north of the platform made himself
conspicuous by making rude remarks in reply
TO the pointed observations of the speaker
These unmannerly interruptions were al
ways followed by cries of Put him out!"
from all parts of the hall, which of
course only added To the general confusion,
Finally Gen Butler lost his patience,
and stamping his foot and shaking his fist at
the crowd he commanded silence. Then, point
ing out the fellow who was the cause of the dis
turbance, he shouted And you, sir you had
better keep quiet, or when I'm President won't
pardon you out of States prison" This brought
down the house, and the smart Aleck" was not
heard from again
The crowd was composed almost exclusively
of the labor element. G. J. Dickson was master
OF ceremonies and William Flotow presided.
AT is Gen. Butler appeared on the stand and
was introduced After the consequent applause
had subsidized, the General proceeded with his
speech, the delivery of which consumed about an
hour, and was we'll received.
