Many Republicans. particularly
those from the West, are bitterly
blaming Butler for BroolEhart'a IN.
aurgent triumph.
It was Butler who. against the
advice Of even such conservative
Eastern Republicans as Edge OF
New Jersey, Reed Of Pennsylvania,
Bingham OF Connecticut, and Moses
OF New Hampshire, accomplished
the ousting Of Brookhart ana the
seating Of his Democratic opponent,
Daniel p. Stock.
Broolxhart> was unseatsd by the
narrow margin Of four votes. Butler
voted against him, and took with
him such votes as Gillett OF MasaA-
lchusetts, Dale Of Vermont, Greene
OF Vermont, Weller Of Maryland ana
Sackett Of Kentucky.
