SATURDAY EVENING. AUG. 10. 1884.

General Butler in his candidacy would
receive our sympathy, II we were not
fully aware that sympathy is not the
thing his nature Graves. He has a
marvellous courage and marvellously
thick skin; a self confidence that Is
astounding, and n cheek that never
grows pallid. Here he Is, candidate
for the presidency, fresh from the effort
10 select one for the Democracy. He has
graduated from both parties, and has a
Butler party Of his own, He maintains
that It is the Butler party that he has be
longed to all his lite and, that when he
appeared TO be Republican or Democrat,
he only lad put their cloaking name
upon his own party which has ever
been the life blood, the bone, sncw
and muscle Of the organizations
which for the time he honored by his
nominal allegiance and command.
This frank statement Of the continued
existence Of the Butler party, under all
Its aliases, explains how the general
happens to stand to-day before the
country as candidate for president
lie had come Co a time OF life when he
wanted to be president himself, and could
wait no longer the Democratic party
having Jailed to embrace the opportu
nifty to help al)ng thiS game of the Bat
lerparty, that party of necessity evolved
itself from its Democratic association,
aud stands out in athletic and cross eye,
beauty, polling its own presidential
canoe. The party so far floating with tn,
current, is inviting and awaiting, as i
passes down the placid bosom of tht
river between its p0pulous banks, thI
approach Of the canoes Of the inhabit

the stories to the contrary are unjust and
untrue. The basis of this belief is coCver
