LATEST NEWS FROM CHICAGO.
. The National Democratic Convention
mot in Chicago onr Taesday, the 8lh
inst.,- aM2 m. in the Music Hall; which
waa packed to its uttermost capacity,
over fourteen thousand persons being
crowded on its floors and into its galler?
. ies, ^: ??
- The Convention was called to order by
Chairman Barn'um, of the National Ex?
ecutive Committee,-who nominated Hon.
Richard B. Hubbard of Texas, for tem?
porary Chairman. He was unanimously
elected, and was escorted to the chair by
Gov. Hendricks and others. Gov. Hub
? bard spoke for twenty minutes, urging
harmony and unity of purpose on the
part of the Convention?that individual
preferences and prejudices be laid aside,
and that the whole aim of tbe delegates
?hould be to'act for the best interest of
the party alohe.
Mr. Smalley, of Vermont, offered a
resolution that the rules of the last Con?
vention be adopted as the rules of this
Convention, except that it should hot be
in order for any State to change its vote 1
until the call of the roll of States has'
been completed.
Mr. Grady, of New York, offered the
following amendment:
"And when the vote of the State as
announced by the chairman of the dele?
gation of such State is challenged by any
member of the delegation, then the sec?
retary shall call the names of individual
delegates from the State, and' their indi?
vidual preferences as. expressed shall be
recorded as the vote of such State."
[Laughter and applause.]
This was intended to abrogate tbe
unit rule so as to allow every delegate to
vote as be pleased, and'thereby get rid of
the unit rule, which had been enjoined
on the New York delegation. It was,
therefore, a fight against Cleveland. The
amendment was vigorously opposed by
(he trrends" of Cleveland and as warmly
advocated by John Kelly and the friends'
of Tammany. After considerable dis
cussion the amendment was lost by a
vote of7350 yeas to 44$ nays. The Con?
vention adjourned to 12 a. m, Wednes?
day morning.
The Convention met on Wednesday at
12.27. The committee on permanent or?
ganization presented its report recom?
mending for President of the Convention
W. S. Villas, of. Wisconsin. The report
was adopted and Mr. Villas escorted to
the platform by Hendricks and others
and received with cheers. ' j
Mr. Villasi in his speech chiefly confin?
ed . himself to an arraignment of the
Republican party. He asked the Con?
vention to set aside personal prejudices
and preference in the interest of the
party at this, tinier Mr, Villas advised
harmony and posi tive action on import?
ant qu.-stions, and predicted victory.

setts has issued a requisition on the Gov?
ernor of Illinois for the delivery of
Franklin J. Moses, once Governor of
South Carolina, who it is charged, by
personating one George D. Bryan, ob?
tained from Thomas W. Higginson of
Cambridge the sum of $31, and thus
rendered himself liable lo the penalties
for false personation.
New York For Cleveland.
New Yobk, July 3.?It is no longer
doubtful that Cleveland has tbe positive
support of from 42 to 45 of the 72 New
York delegates to Chicago, and that that
number will vote for him as first and last
choice when the delegation meet iu
Chicago on Saturday evening.
There will be complimentary votes
between Tilden, Flower, Slocum, Han?
cock and others, but some of them will
be purely complimentary; and it is now
.estimated by Cleveland's most intelligent
calculators, that CO of the 72 will, after
the first ballot, favor casting the vote of
New York as a unit for Cleveland, and
thus give him the vote of the State in
the Convention, with even greater una?
nimity than was exhibited in the delega?
tion for Tilden iu 1876.
. Kelly was iu the delegation in 1376,
and he then commanded sixteen vote3
against Tilden. The vote was so an?
nounced to the Convention by Senator
Keruan, when he cast tbe solid vote for
Tilden under the unit rule. Now, with
a larger delegation, it is confidently
claimed that there will be less votes
against Cleveland than there were against
Tilden. .
It would be useless to attempt to con?
ceal the fact that tbe reaction in this
State in favor of Cleveland and against
Kelly has grown to great proportions
j within the last week, and its influence
j has been very marked upon the delegates
to Chicago.. They are all expected tobe
i at Chicago by Saturday evening, when
the delegation will hold its first meeting;
and unless the present calculations of
I Cleveland's friends shall prove unfound?
ed, it is believed here that his nomination
will be assured before the Convention
I assembles..?Special to the Philadelphia

? It is said that in'Winnebago lake,
Wisconsin, they fish with Hues six miles

One catch generally realizes 2,000 fish.
The 20,000 hooks are baited with pieces
of meat and lowered to the bottom. It
takes twenty boats with two men in each
to look after this big catch. Most of
the fish taken from this lake are sturgeon,
weighing on an average seventy pounds.

that this means a loss of several hundred
thousands of Republican votes for the

over fifteen thousand votes in New York
State alone.

labor, had better stay at' home. I fiud

the result is that they become Moafeis,'

? In a letter to an acquaintance in
Alabama, Governor Cleveland states he
is now occupying a position in his own
State high enough for his ambition ; that
he is "seeking no other office," and that
?he thinks above all things that the people
should have their way in the matter of
I the Presidency. Governor Cleveland's
friends make the claim, which is certain?
ly a creditable jne, that he has never
sought office, but has been nominated
and elected in every instance without hie
own solicitation.
? About a year ago the wife of Mar?

A Barbarous System.
Atlanta, Ga., June 30?An interest?
ing case has been decided by Ordinary
Calho?n of Fulton Courtly. It was
brought about by the liabcas corpus case
of William Pannion, a prisoner who hud
been found guilty of illegal voting. He
was sentenced to a fine, or imprisonment
in default of paymeut. Under the Act
of the Legislature, such prisoners have
been hired out to private parties who
would pay the floe. Ordinary Calhoun
holds this law to be unconstitutional.
When the fine is paid the prisoner is free,
and is simply a debtor to tbe man who
paid for him. To compel the prisoner to
work undersuch circumstances is nothing
more or less than to re-establish imprison?
ment for debt. As a large number of
misdemeanor prisoners throughout the
State are serviug terms in this way the
decision is of much importance.
A Storm in Illinois.
St. Louis, July 5.?Dispatches from
Decatur, Springfield, Shelbyville and
other places in central Illinois report
that very severe wiud storms swept over
Macon, Sangamon and Christian Coun?
ties between midnight Friday night and
daylight Saturday morning, destroying
much property. No loss of life was re?
ported. The Iosb in Sangamon County
is esti'.uited at over $10,000. In Macon
County eleven dwellings were completely
wrecked. A number of animals were
killed and the crops were ruined. Mr.
Aufterhide's wife and baby were blown
200 yards and deposited under a hedge.
They were completely covered with mud,
but were unhurt. Two of John Kraft's
children were badly injured and one of
them may die. The wind lifted loaded
cars off the track at Boody Station, and
tbe Madison Presbyterian Church and
parsonage were entirely destroyed. The
loss in Macon County is estimated at
$200,000. Christian County is said to
have suffered severely.
General Longstreet.
An Atlanta correspondent of tbe Sa?
vannah Times reports Gen. Longstreet as
saying in au interview in response to the
inquiry what he thought of the Demo?
cratic outlook.: "I believe Bayard is
the best man, but I guess the Democrats
will have to nominate a man who has a
record, on the other side in the late war.
My opinion is that no Democrat can be
elected this year and never can be until
tbe party gets a leader. As it is tow
their leaders don't lead. The party is
without a policy and without a leader,
and it is impossible for it to accomplish
anything under that state of affairs. As
to the report that he was about to resign
tbe United ? States marshalship, Gen.
Longstreet said : "There is no truth in
such a report. I would be glad enough
to retire and spend the closing years of
my life among the quiet pleasures of my
home, but I am notable to quit work. I
find myself on the down grade of life
dependent on my salary to educate my
children. That is why I will continue
toliora* the marshalship."
Senator Vance Wants to go Fishing.
Oue day last week the Washington
correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle
asked Senator Vance if he was not tired
of staying in Washington. He drew a
mammoth sigh from the abyss, and in
tones of languor said: "I long for
adjournment. I want to go fishing. The
campaign is about to burst over my State
and the country, but I'll go fishing once
if I die for it. I want to get back to old
North Carolina. I want to wake up in
the morning and see the pine trees, and !
I want to smell them when I go to bed, i
a? their perfume floats into the window
and makes me dream that I am a child
agaiu. Yea, verily, I want to go out into
our old fields once more and see a nigger
plowing with a one-eyed mule, with a.
coffee sack for a plow line. That sight
would be more agreeable to me than a
vision of Araby the Blest: of Barn u in's
Circus. I am like the servant of the sor?
cerer in the 'Black Crook'?'I want to go
home! I want to go home !'"
Surrendering a Lease.
Columbia, July 5.?-A rumor reached
here to-day that the Columbia and
Greenville Railroad intended to relin?
quish its lease of tbe Spartanburg, Union
and Columbia Railroad'. The represep
tative of the Sunday News called on
President A. C. Haskell, of the Greeu
ville Road, for information. He said :
"The Columbia and Greenville Railroad
has given uotice to the lessors of the
Spartanburg, Union and Columbia Rail?
road that it will surrender the road with?
in sixty days from July 1."
"What is the cause of this action ?"
"The reason is that the mo6t valuable
rights and privileges have been taken
from the Spartanburg, Union and Co?
lumbia Railroad Company by legislative
enactments and the rulings of the Rail?
road Commissioners, and the property is
thus deprived of the value which it had
at the time the lease was effected."
President Haskell declined to say
more than this. From another source it
is learned that the lease has been very
unprofitable to the Columbia and Green?
ville Road. It was effected April 1,1881,
and was for ninety-nine years at fifty
thousand dollars a year. The lease was
terminated after sixty days' notice under
the conditions of the contract. Tho
lessors, the Spartanburg, Union and Co?
lumbia Railroad Company, will doubtless,
take charge of the road within sixty
days. The line may pay a small profit
on its original cost, but cannot yield
enough to cover a rental of fifty thousand
dollars.?Special dispatch to the Sunday
News.
What Will Burst A Gun.
In bravado a young man placed the
muzzle of his fowling piece under tbe
water, and fired the charge. The result
was the bursting of the barrel near the
breech and the mutilation of his hand.
Another placed and held the muzzle of
his piece square against a piece of plate
wiuaow glass, and fired the charge?
: powder and a bullet. The glass was
shattered, so was the gun barrel. Anoth?
er instance was that of an experimenter
who had heard that a candle could be
fired from the muzzle of a gun through
an inch plank. He drove a candle into
the muzzle of the "gun, fired, and the
explosion split the barrel almost its en?
tire length, and did not even drive the
caudle from the muzzle. Still another
burst of a gun barrel was caused by tho
use of wet grass for a wad well rammed
down over a charge of shot. But per?
haps one of the most singular exhibitions
in this line was a Colt's navy revolver,
which some years ago was sent to the
factory in Hartford Conn. This was
! before the adaption of these pistols to
the metallic catiidges and it is probable
! that in loading with open powder and
ball only a small amouut of powder got
into the chamber and the bullet was not
propelled with sufficient force to drive it
from the muzzle: at least tbe bullet did
not go out but lodged. As the shooter
did not know whether the bullet escaped
or not he kept on firing till the barrel
burst or bulged, and when it was s;twed
in two longitudinally there were found
fourteen bullets wedged one into the
other, and so much "upset" by the ham?
mering of the successive explosions of
the powder charges that some of them
were not less than one inch in diameter,
being flattened disks instead of conical
bu Nets.---Scientific A incrican.

Sensation in Hart County, Ga.
A few months ago" a man calling him?
self Robert Hager came to Hart County
and worked for several farmers in the
County, among them Mr. Charles Chris?
tian. He was a very decent looking fel?
low and was industrious and attentive to
his work. While at work with Mr.
Christian he became acquainted with
Mrs. M. F. Christian, a very respectable
widow lady, who lives a mile and a half
from Hartwell. He wooed and won Mrs.
Christian after a brief courtship, and on
the 28th of April, 18S4, they were united
in marriage by H. J. Gos.*, Esq. All
went well up to a few weeks ago, and
Mrs. Hager was happy in the thought
that she had the strong arm of a husband
to lean uprn adown life's rugged path?
way. On the 16th of June Mr. Jas. F.
White received a letter from the Chief
of Police of Greenville, S. O, in answer
to inquiries regarding Hager, stating
that Hager had lived 10 or 12 years in
Greenville, and that he had a wife and
four children there. That he was a
worthless fellow, and that it had been
ascertained that he had another wife in
North Carolina, where he went by the
name of Robert Little. Hager got wind
of this letter, and on the 23d of June
last he hitched up the horse and buggy
belonging to wife No. 3, pretending that
he was going to Mr. J. L. Brown's upon
some business. But instead of going to
Mr. Brown's be left for parts unknown,
and Mrs. Hager has never been able to
learn of his whereabouts. Mrs. Hager
is in deep distress both on account of the
perfidy of the polygamous wretch and
the loss of her horse and buggy, and has
offered a reward of $50 for the apprehen?
sion of Hager or for the safe return of
the horse and buggy. Robert Hager or
Little is genteel looking, about six feet
high, weighs about 100 pouuds, florid
complexion, dark auburn hair; one joint
off middle finger of left hand, and nails
off tbe great toes of each foot, and sandy
mustache. He is a baker and candy
maker by trade.
The horse is a bay, about six years old,
in very good condition, has straight neck
and heavy tail. Coal box buggy, old,
but has new wheels, running gear dark
red, black body.
We hope our exchanges will put their
readers on the look out for this scoundrel,
who has thus destroyed the peace and
happiness of a roo3t worthy lady.?Hart

What Tilden Wishes.
Chicago, July 4.?"Mr. Tilden has
not written any letter to be presented in
the contingency of 'his nomination here,"
said C. F, Peck, of New York, this
evening, "but I think I know how the
report originated that he had done so.
Just one week ago Messrs. Manning and
Magone called on bim aud received an
authorization to speak for him concern?
ing Mr. Cleveland's candidacy. I am
not at liberty to say whether the author?
ity was given in writing, but it is in such
form as to satisfy any one whom they
desire to convince. Mr. Tilden felt that
it would be very indelicate in him to
volunteer any advice to the Convention
as to what it should do, but be knew that
a great many delegates would probably
desire to know what his judgment as to
candidates was. Messrs. Manning and
Magone, therefore, were authorized to
say to all delegates who came to consult
them as to Mr. Tilden's views, that he
believed Governor Cleveland was the
man for the emergency. This informa?
tion is to be giveu only when asked for
by delegates."
Senator Kerman said to-day: "Tilden
does not want the compliment of a nom?
ination. He thinks it would be against
the interests of the party to do anything
of the sort. On Monday next we shnll
probably try to get all those delegates
who are friendly to Tilden together and
they will then be assured, in a manner
that they cannot doubt, of Mr. Tilden's
wishes in this respect. If the party sees
fit by appropriate resolution to recognize
Tilden's eminent services it would be a
proper and graceful thing to do. Noth?
ing more than that would be acceptable
to Mr. Tilden."
"Is Cleveland Mr. Tilden's choice for
the Presidency V
"You can say at least," answered the
Senator, "that all Mr. Tilden's friends
here are for Cleveland including S. J.
Tilden, Jr. From that fact you can
draw your own inferences."
Mr. Smith M. Weed and Edward
Cooper made practically similar state
xnents. All his intimate friends say that
a complimentary nomination is not at all
desired by Mr. Tilden and that the idea
is strongly condemned by him.?Special

The Columbia Canal.
The lecent heavy rains, in addition to
the damage by those of the week before,
iuflicled a loss of two or three weeks'
work on the canal. A large area of
earth work where the outside wall would
have beeu connected and built beyond
danger by tbe 1st of July was washed
away and the railroad tracks for the
dump cars have been badly torn up. A
wire rope which was stretched across the
river to hold up a derrick was cut in two
by a huge log which the rushing waters
hurled against it and tbe derrick fell.
The convicts were yesterday repairing
the damage doue by the freshet, where
the receding waters would permit them
to work. In three weeks the outside of
rip-rap wall and its earth backing will be
completed to Elmwood avenue.
A'small section of hard granite only
remains to be blasted from the canal,
about the foot of Richland street, when
earth and soft stone only will be to con?
tend with up to Elmwood avenue.
The large blocks of cut granitein the
old canal, where the locks were located,
will be taken away at aD early day and
used in the construction of the large
waste weir.
The Superintendent is laying tracks
and building dump cars to remove the
hill near Elmwood avenue, which will
disappear like snow before the sun when

Raised From Her Bed By Faith.
Cleveland, June 30.?Miss Rebecca
Kerby, of No. 20 Willcut avenue, has
been bedridden for over forty years, being
stricken with a disease of the spine when
seventeen year.=s old. She has been upon
her feet but once during that time, and
that attempt to stand cost her much suf?
fering. Her pastor, Dr. Hickman, of
the M. E. Church, and others had been
praying for her relief, and last Monday
she lay upon her bed praying, when it
occurred to her that, now was the time.
She tells the rest as follows :
"I turned over in bed without pain
and sat up. I lifted my feet and placed
them on the floor and moved into my
chair by the bedside, and there I sat for
the first time in twenty-nine years. I
felt very little pain. An hour later, with
help, I moved a half-dozen steps to the
door and back again. My back did not
hurt me so much, but my feet were very
tender. I have sat up each day since
and have been wheeled about in an in?
valid's chair."
Miss Kerby has been a long sufferer,
and her case is looked upon with great
satisfaction by "faith-cure" believers.
Mrs. George H. Jacobs, living at New?
castle, Ohio, has given birth to a live,
healthy child, weighing exactly one

Filz-John Forter Bill.
Washington, July '2.?The veto of
the Fitz John Porter bill, which was
sent to the House this afternoon, was a
surprise to many, though it has been
confidently expected by others. The
House lost no lime in passing the bill
over the veto, as the necessary two-thirds
was secured without any difficulty,
fifteen Republicans voting with the Dem?
ocrats for the passage of the bill. Of
course there is no chance of the passage
of the oill over the veto in the Senate,
the bill having originally passed that
body by but nine majority. So the result
is that it is defeated. The fate of this
bill is regarded as a guarantee that the
bill placing Grant on the retired list of
the army cannot pass.
the veto.
The text of the veto message is as fol?
lows :
To the House of Representatives:
After careful consideration of the bill
entitled "An Act for the relief of Fitz
John Porter," I herewith return it with
my objections to the House of Congress
in which it originated. Its enacting
clause is in terms as follows: "That the
President be, and he is hereby, authorized
to nominate and, by aud with the advice
and consent of the Senate, to appoint
FitzJohn Porter, late major general
United State Volunteers and brevet
brigadier-general and colonel in the
army, to the position of colonel in the
Army of the United States of the same
grade held by him at the time of his dis?
missal from the army by sentence of
court martial, promulgated January 27,
1863," &c, &c. It is apparent that
should thi3 bill become'law it will create
a new office, which can be filled by the
; appointment of a particular individual
whom it specifies, and cannot be filled
i otherwise, or it may be said with perhaps
greater precision of statement, that it
will create a new office on condition that
a particular person designated shall be
chosen to fill it. Such an Act, as it
seems to me, is either unnecessary and
ineffective, or it involves an encroach?
ment by the legislative branch of the
Government on the authority of the
executive.
As Congress has no power under the
Constitution to nominate and appoint an
officer and cannot lawfully impose on the
President the duty of nominating and
appointing to office any particular indi?
vidual of its own selection, this bill, if it
can be fairly construed as requiring the
President to make the nomination, and
by aud with the advice and consent of
the Senate the appointment which it
authorizes, is in manifest violation of the
Constitution. If such be not its just in?
terpretation it must be regarded as the
mere enactment of advice and counsel,
which lack in the very nature of things
the force of positive law and can serve
no useful purpose on the statute books.
There are other causes that deter me
from giviDg this bill the sanction of my
approval. The judgment of the court
martial by which more than twenty years
since Gen. Fitz John Porter was tried
and convicted was pronounced by a trib?
unal composed of nine general officers of
distinguished character and ability. Its
investigation of the charges, of which it
found the accused guilty, was thorough
and conscientious, and its findings and
sentence were in due course of law ap?
proved by Abraham Lincoln, the Presi?
dent of the United States. Its legal
competency, its jurisdiction of the ac?
cused and of the subjects of accusation,
the substantial regularity of all its pro?
ceedings, are matters which have never
been brought in question. Its judgment,
therefore, is final and conclusive iu its
character. The Supreme Court of the
United States has recently declared that
a court martial, such as this was, "is the
organism provided by law and clothed
with the duty of administering justice in
this class of cases. Its judgments, when
approved, rest on the same basi? and are
surrounded by the same considerations
which give conclusiveness to the judg?
ments of other tribunals, including the
highest as well as the lowest." It fol?
lows accoidingly that when a lawfully
constituted court-martial has duly de?
clared its findings and its seutence and
the same have been duly approved
neither the President nor Congress has
any power to set them aside. The exis?
tence of such power is not openly assert?
ed nor perhaps is it necessarily implied
in the provisions of the bill which is be?
fore me, but when its enacting clauses
are read in the light of the recitals of its
preamble, it will be seen that it seeks in
effect the practical annulment of the
findings and sentence of a competent
court martial. A conclusion at variance
with those findings has been reached after
investigations by a board consisting of
the officers of the army. This board was
not created in pursuance of any statuto?
ry authority aud was powerless to com?
pel the attendance of witnesses or to
pronounce a judgment which could be
lawfully enforced. The officers who
composed it, in their report to the secre?
tary of war, dated March 19,1879, stated
that in their opinion "justice requires
such action as may be necessary to annul
and set aside the findings and sentence
of the court martial in the case of Major
Gen. Fitz John Porter, and to restore
him to the position of which their sen?
tence deprived him, such restoration to
take effect from the date of his dismissal
from service." The provisions of the
bill now under consideration are avowed?
ly based on the assumption that the find?
ings of the court martial have been 'dis?
covered to be erroneous. But it will be
borne iu mind that the investigation
which is claimed to have resulted in this
discovery was made many years after the
event to which these findings related, and
under circumstances that made it impos?
sible to reproduce the evidence on which
they were based. It seems to mo that
the proposed legislation would establish
a dangerous precedent, calculated to im?
peril in no small measure the binding
force and effect of judgments of various
tribunals established under our Constitu?
tion and laws.
I have already, in the exercise of the
pardoning power with which the Presi?
dent is vested, remitted the continuing
penalty that made it impossible for Fitz?
John Porter to hold an office of trust or
profit under the Government of the
United States; but I am unwilling to
give my sanction to any legislation which
shall practically annul and set at naught
the solemn and deliberate conclusious of
the tribunal by which he was convicted,
and of the President by whom its find?
ings were examined and approved.

Gp.etstoxe, July 5,1884.
To the Hon. W. H. Barnum, Chicago :
I have received your telegram informing
me of the disposition to nominate me for
the Presidency and asking: "Will you
accept the unanimous nomination from
the Convention?" and also a telegram
from Mr. Manning saying: "It seems
absolutely necessary that you (I) should
answer Bamum's telegram as soon as
possible." Your inquiry was explicitly
answered in the negative in my letter of
June 10th to Mr. Manning.

Eighth Circuit Solicitor.
Greenville, July 7.?The Nominat?
ing Convention of the Eighth Judicial
Circuit met in the Courthouse hero to?
night, at 9 p. m. Col. R. A. Thomp?
son, of Walhalla, presided, and G. W.
Taylor, Esq., of Pickens, was elected
secretary. Col. Simpson, of Anderson,
placed in nomination for Solicitor of the
Eighth Circuit the incumbent, Col.
James Lv'-Orj, of Greenville. The
speaker made^loquent allusions to Col.
Orr's legal ability and fitness for the
office, referring to the somewhat remar?
kable circumstance that the appoint?
ment of Col. Orr to the solicitorsbip by
Governor Hagood had met with the
unanimous approval and endorsement of
this district. The nomination was sec?
onded by Mr. John S. Verner, of Oco?
nee, who warmly recounted the record of
Col. Orr in the remarkable contest of
'76, be having been the first to enter the
Mackey House, which was the last grip
of Republican corruption upon the affairs
of South Carolina. Col. James A. Hoyt
added remarks in praise of Col. Orr,
whom be had known as a noble boy and
a3 a noble man. The nomination was
carried unanimously by acclamation,
after which the Convention adjourned.
The Reception of Gen. Butler.
The reception of General Butler in
Chicago on Saturday night, was of a
highly dramatic character. Upon the
arrival of the train at the depot, the
general was received by the committee,
and was hurriedly taken to the Palmer
House. The demonstration, however,
did not take place until nearly ten o'clock,
when the labor societies, representing
bricklayer*, borseshoers, seamen and the
various typographical unions selected
Market street as a rendezvous, and from
there proceeded to the Palmer House by
a circuitous route, along which were
large, waiting crowds. The marching
column numbered about three thousand,
and carried a variety of transparencies,
all of which bore the face of Butler,
supplemented with such sentiments as
"Labor needs a statesman." "If I am
not for you. I am against, von?Butler to
the factory czars of Lowell." "The
workingmen welcome Butler." Toward
the rear of the column was borne aloft
a mammoth spoon, on which was in?
scribed "Butler will feed you all." The
extreme rear of the line was made up ol
a broom brigade, displaying the device,
"Butler will sweep the country."
