SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE REcoRD-UNIoN.l
DOMESTIC.
Butler as the Democratic Candidate for
President.

Blaine by the Republican Convention has SCI
the Democrats to looking over the list of avail
able candidates for the man who can be counted
upon to keep in the Democratic party the large
element that looks favorably upon Blaine anG
his record on the Chinese question In casting
about for such man, the name OF Benjamin +
Butler looms up more conSpicuously than any
other name mentioned in connection with
the Democratic nomination. The feeling
against Blaine in New York and Massa
chusetts adds strength to the Butler
boom, and II IS claimed, and good reasons
are given in support of the claim, that Butler is
the only Democrat who can carry MasSachu
sets; that he, and he alone, of all the Demo
cratic candidates, could retain in the Demo
cratic party that large element among the work
ing classes in every State in the Union who
admire the dash and pluck of the Maine
statesman and who look upon him in the sense
of champion of the working classes. What
we want" said a prominent Democratic politi
clan, Ill conversation with your correspondent
to-day, is man possessed of similar
qualities to those which make Blaine the
idol of the masses of the Republican party
II know of no man who combines
these qualities in greater degree than Blaine
Tilden is the idol of the Democratic party; but
Tilden is out of the race. He will not be Il can
didate under any circumstances and if the
party is wise it will nominate old Butler and he
Will be elected. Butler Is the only Democrat
who can carry Massachusetts,. He would get
the support of the masses of the people, and nc
man is better liked by the men whose votes the
Republicans are counting upon to carry the Pa
cific coast States for Blaine. Butler can carry
New York. Again, he can carry Massachusetts,
which no other Democrat can. He can keep il
the party the Democrats on the Pacific slope
who will vote for Blaine on his Chinese record
| tell you that if the Democratic party has sense
it will nominate Old Ben
"Can Blaine carry the Pacific coast?' the
correspondent asked of Representative Tully
" He can was the reply, unless we nominate
either Tilden or Thurman . Do you think he
could carry the coast against Butler?" Butler
will not be nominated" he replied He would
run well on the Pacific coast if he were nOmi-
mated; but although l think Ben. Butler is
well liked by the masses of the people, he does
not suit the politicians and could never get the
nomination. If he were nominated, think he
would be elected; but there is no use talking OF
other candidates. Tilden is going to be nomi-
mated. and elected, too. This talk OF his being
out of the race is all pOppycOck. He will be a
candidate, and receive the nomination, and be
elected
Representative Lowering, of Massachusetts,,
asked to-day how Butler would do as the Dem
ocratic candidate to defeat Blaine. Butler,
he said, would carry all the New England
States except Maine and Vermont, and even in
Maine he would give Blaine Il very lively tus-
sic. He would run well in New York. He is
popular in New York. Witness the popular out
burst i'll New York City on Decoration Day. He
was applauded even more than the President
was. That shows how popular he is with the
masses. The old man would put more life into
the campaign than any other man. If he were
nominated he would be elected beyond the
shadow of IL doubt. The nomination of Blaine
is worth thousand votes to the Democratic
party in my district. Blaine will be beaten out
of sight in Massachusetts,
The general feeling here to-day is that the
threatened independent movement will soon
die out. THE independent movement doesn't
amount to anything said a prominent pOliti-
clan here to-day There is always more or
less of this sort of talk after a Convention, but
it never amounts to anything. When the cam
