GENERAL Ben BUTLER said yesterday
that he would cheerfully support what
ever nominee for the Presidency was put
up by the Democratic party. As he has
already himself received two nominations
for the Presidency from two entirely dis
tinct parties, and as he accepted at least
one of them, this statement coming from
any other man might appear a triac con-
fusing. General Butler has, however,
always occupied 4 unique position before
the American public. He cannot be COM
pared with any other statesman. He is
his own prototype. Butler is an oddity
as well as a problem, but no one can
doubt his great intellectualtyo his ability
to sustain any position he may assume. 1t
is possible though that he may have been
influenced in making the assertion by the
belief that he himself will receive the
Democratic nomination. Stranger things
have happened in his career.

the Chicago Convention will now be com
PEELED to take a reefin their calculations.
In point of Numbers the gathering is an
extraordinary one, and in this rcspcc: the
Republican convention bears no compar-
ison whit. The many clubs in attend
ance, each with a distinctive and attract
i've dress, adds an additional attraction.
There was a great deal of m~anoeuvering
being done last night and yesterday in the
interest of the various candidates, but the
action of the New York delegation in SO
decidedly sustaining the unit rule demon
strated conclusiyely Cleveland's grip on
the dele CATION, as it just as conclusively
showed John Kelly's inability to
wheel them into line against
the ref1rm Governor. This action on the
plrt of the New York delegation has
added considerably to the already great
strength of Cleveland, as he will now re
ceive tn support of many delegates who
waited to ascertain the position Of the
Empire state. So far as can be judged
from this distance anil with the informal
ton at hand, Cloyeland's speedy nom
nation seems an assured fact. John
Kelley is bitterly arrlyed against Cleve-
land, but a decided impression prevails
that the convention will not allow the tail
to wig the dog by subn;ttins to the dom
nations Of Tam Mays sachem. A day
may bring forth some wonderful things,
however, but certainly nothing can trans
pire that will more genuine surprise
than Cleyelanl's failure to receive the

THE Democratic gathering in Chicago
is quite an extraordinary one, and the
general effect of the appearance of the
clubs is materially heightened by attract
i've uniforms. The Cook county, ILL.,.
club probably carries off the honors in the
matter of clothing. Each member is at

THE California delegation to the Demo
cratic Convention disregard the instruc-
tons Of the convention in relation to
Judge Fields s candidacy, and claim that
the vigorous disapprobation of his judicial
course did not emanate from the most
respectable wings 0 the party, nor does it
represent the generally prevailing seuti-
ment. A better feeling has been aroused
for Judge Field and his boom is being
carefully coached, but it seems very doubt
full that he will be placed upon the ticket.
