BUTLER IS WILLING.

His Letter Acceptor the Anti-Monopoly Nomination for the Presidency. Tilden indorsed by Hew Hampshire and Nebraska Democrats—Other Political Conventions. Nebraska Democratic Convention. The Democrats of Nebraska met in convention at Linooln and selected the following delegates-at-large to the Chicago convention: James E. Boyd, J. Sterling Morton, W. H. Monger, and Tobias Castor. They are all for Tilden. No other name was mentioned dnring the convention except Tilden’s. The following platform was adopted: We, the delegates of the Democratic party of the State of Nebraska, in convention assembled, snbmit the following platform of reforms and measures: 1. We demand a vigorous frngrality in every department and from every officer of the Government, and we heartily concur in the sentiment that no reform of administration is possible so long as the Government is directed by a party which is nnder the dominion of false doctrine and animated by enormous pecuniary interests in the perpetuation of existing abuses; that the first effectual step in the reform of our Government must be a fundamental change in the policy of its administration. 2. That, in view of the unequal and discriminating operation of the existing tariff and the nnjust and excessive burdens imposed upon the people, we are in favor of a revision which shall limit it to the production of the necessary revenues of the Government economically administered; that it should be so adjusted as to prevent, as far as possible, unequal burdens upon labor, and to bear most heavily on articles of luxury, and lightly on articles of necessity. We believe such a revision of the tariff laws, simplified in their operation and administration, will result in decreasing the growth of monopolies, prevent the oppression and spoliation of labor, and the unequal distribution of wealth, and abolish special and class legislation. Resolved, That as our fathers, under the lead of Thomas Jefferson, rescued our republic from the control of Federalism, and the alien and sedition laws of the elder Adams, so will the Democratic party of 1884, if united, hurl the Republican party from power, and re-elect Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks President and Vice President of the United States of America.

New Hampshire Democratic Convention* The Democratic State Convention of New Hampshire assembled at Concord and accomplished its work in three hours. It was unanimously for Tilden and Hendricks and generally in favor of the Morrison bill, Frank Jones, Henry O. Kent, Frank A. Mac Kean, and Alva Sulloway were chosen delegates-at-large. No instructions were given, but, as the unanimous sentiment of the convention preferred the "old ticket,” they will support it at the national convention. Chairman H. W. Parker denounced !>rotection,and said that tariff for revenue ony would be the issue in the campaign. Resolutions were adopted declaring against all laws tending to the centralization of power, wealth, and political inflnenoe; demanding a reduction of the war tariff; commending the Democratic majority of the House in their recent efforts for tariff reform, and insisting on no cessation of their efforts until the revenue system is re-established on an honest basis, and calling for a thorough reform of tariff, financial, and administrative affairs. The resolutions also arraign the Republican party as false to the interests of the people, and assert their condemnation of "the great orime of 1876, a wrong we propose to right and make impossible hereafter."
