BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 3O.-Gen. But
Ter arrived here to-day and tonight ad-
dressed large crowd. Some disorder
was manifested when the General began
to speak. His speech was substantially
as follows:
Fellow citizens Of New York, may / ask of

cal opinion. We come here to confer together,

which could only be Temedied by the people
in combining to form peoples party and
bring about needed reform.
Gov. Butler claimed to be a friend Of
the workingman, pointing out that if
they would only hold together they could
be the balance of power, and, in fact. be
party of themselves, and cOuld
carry the country as they wished. GOV.
Butler said that the combined votes re-
ceived by Gems. Garfield and Hancock
were only about one-half OF the total nnm-
Der of votes controlled by the working
men of this country, 1t was true that he
Butler1 employed, and had EMPLOYED. a
large amount of labor for great mauv
years, and the best proof he could offer
that he was the friend of workipgmen
was that he had never had a strike in one
of his mills in all that time. Mr.. Butler
then reviewed the records Of both parties.
He could find no fault with the Demo-
cratic party. 1t was difficult to do so. as
they had done nothing, while the
Republican party had made slaves
Of the workingmen, giving the public
lands to gross corporations, making the
rich richer, and the poor poorer. He ad-
vised all to break rrom party chains and

A Decision in RUNS Favor.

MUsCATINE, Iowa, Sept 3O.-Judge
Hays delivered a charge to the grand
jury to-day in the matter of the indict-
ments under the new prOhbitOry liquor
law. He charged the jury that, while sell
ing liquor is indictable, buying it is
equally violation of the law; that all
persons testifying to having purchased
liquor are subject to Indictment, and that,
referring as is supposed to the Temper
ance Alliance, in case of any person being
induced or encouraged by any organiza-
tion or body to buy liquor for the purpose
of eliminating seller, such buyer would
be indictable, and such body would be
guilty of conspiracy and subject to in
dictment. 1t is thought that 1t will be
next to impossible to enforce the anti
