are going on so quietly? The fact is we
are doing more silent work in this cam

MIR. F. o. Prince, of Boston, secretary of
the National Democratic Committee, gave
his views of
The Situation in Massachusetts,
as follows: "In respect to Massachusetts,
the ti-Blaine independents represent the
most influential portion of the Republican
party of the State They are thoroughly
organized and very earnest in their efforts
in behalf of the Democratic ticket. The
young Republicans or independents will
undoubtedly cast very large vote-atleast
10000. Beyond all question if we were
not opposed by Butler the State would 60
Democratic. As it is, we cannot measure
Buffers strength accurately as yet. The
independent Republicans, Notwithstanding
the opposition Of Butlerism, claim that we
have more than a fighting chance, and
many Democrats agree with them"
