1t SAYS
Step by step, after persistent effort
and waiting on the movements and dccis-
ion, of General Butler and hi, political
managers, and careful observation OF the
! movements and decisions of Mr.. Blaine
and his pOiitic., managers, we are forced
to announc,, with all the responsibility of
our official obligations to those whom we
represent, that We have most unexpectedly
uncarthcl the deepest political intrigue il
tn" history of presidential campaigns
aud that General Butler is using Us. and
our parties, and those who sympathize
with the principle, he assumes to cham-
pion upon labor aud finance, solely for
The purpose Of defeating Mr. Cleveland
in New York, by withdrawing sufficient
number Of voters heretofore Democratic
to secure its thirtv--iX electoral vote, for
Mr.. Blaine.

tate.
\ reporter Of 7Hr D,,y thi, morning
called uppA Mr.. George : Stewart editor
OF the BAltim"rc Litter Pre- Press, to ask
him something about the reported Butler
tizllc iii this city.
am sorry To say, replied Mr. Stew
art, " that the bottom appears TO have
fallen ont Of the cnth, sia>tn Tor the labor
iny-nen> movement. General William
II. Parsons, ot FraukIln street, a native
Of Ioui>iana who is leading Green
hacker, ha, taken considerable interest il
the movement He i, IA Knight of Labor,
and hailed Butler nomination with iov,
especially a> ht had been a member of the
Charleston Convention when Butler voted
50 many time, for Jefferson Davis. Gen
eral Parsons went to New York to secure
Buffers Attendance at a labor meeting to
be held at the Academy of Music or in
! Oriole Park. He called upon Colonel
Noah A. Piympton and Mr.. Fowler
Buffers lieutenants. The latter said
that PIympton was in indianapolis, but it
tran>pircl attei ward that he was in Wor-
ccster, Mass When charged with the
t;ll>chood by a friend Fowler became very
indignant. General Parsons then waited
/ in New York for two weeks in order to
see Butler himself The latter said he
was in the hands of Fowler and PIymp
! ton As General Parsons was about to
/ leave he was told that the Republican
! National Committee desired to see him.
Calling upon them he was told that that
committee controlled the movements Of
/ General Butler, and had right to say
where he should speak, inasmuch as they
paid his expenses. They thought it pos
sible that they might permit Butler to
speak IN Baltimore after the Ohio cleo
ton. General Parsons becoming dis
gu>tcd, broke Oft all negotiations. He is
convinced that Butler Is not running in
the interests of the l@boring men, but has
sold out to Blaine, in order to avenyc
himself upon Cleveland The Republi,
cans propose to keep him entirely in New
! York, New Jersey and such Northern
States rs are naturally Democratic or
doubtful, in order to draw votes from
! Cleveland They also have no intention
of endeavoring to break the Solid South.
In fact they prefer to keep the South
solid, as they deem that the best way to
hold the North within the Republican
ranks is to arouse and intensity sectional
feeling"
