BUFFERS BAD BREAK.
Makes Sewall 6en Mad-He viii Probably be
Taken From the Stump.

The following special to the Boston
Herald will make very interesting
reading:
Though in the stump assignments Of
Secretary Beane of the Democratic
state committee, given out, Friday
Senator John l.. Butler of Pennsylva-
MIA, was put down to speak every night
until Sept. II, an effort is being made
on behalf Of Mr.. Arthur Sewall to have
Butler sent home at once, on ar
count of the damage he did Mr.. Sew
ais cause in Bath, Thursday. Mr..
Sewalis lieutenants are up in arms
about It, and they say Butler viii ruin
them If he is allowed to continue.
The Bath rally was very unfortu-
rate affair as an opener Of Mr.. Sew
ais campaign. The attendance was
slim, the hall not being more than half
filled. il it was that, and Mr.. Torrey,
who presided, gave the business of the
evening a false start by getting into a
controversy with Mr.. William Rogers
on the floor. Mr.. Torrey, who had al
ready had controversy with Mr.. Rog
ers, stated a proposition and indis-
crectly said: Isn't that 50, Mr.. Rog
ers?,' The person thus directly ad p
dressed Immediately got on his feet
and declared it wasn't. and more than
half the house applauded him loudly.
From that on the meeting was more
Of Republican Votegetter than it
was anything else.
Senator Butler made a bad matter
much worse by stating that he had
come back to Bath to apologize for
having spoken in the same place for
Grover Cleveland four years ago. HeI
defended Altgeld in such a way that
Bath on reflection believes that Butler
would not apologize for Altgeld being
an Anarchist. and ola apologize Tor
cleveland because he was not one.
Then Butler made an onslaught upon
the national banks with such sublime
density that he could not observe the |
merriment that ne vas giving the Re |
publlcans. who kept their eyes on |
President Arthur Sewall Of the Bath |
National Bank, and their ears open to |
Butler The incident was very en- |
oarrassins to the Democrats
Mir Butler has evidently been trying |
% square himself by saying publicly |
hat the West owes Mr.. Sewan a debt
n gratitude for his self sacrifice in |
running as a candidate with Mr. Bry- |
in. This IS undoubtedly said because |
MIR Butler recognizes the debt he him
self owes Mr. Sewall for having |
'qucered" the Bath rally.
II can be stated positively al an |
vents that Senator Butler viii remain |
n Maine only against the wish Of Mr.. !
'ewall's personal managers. He is too |
much of Socialist u suit this con-
;tituency.
