convention, and I was not drunk, either. [Laughter.] Then I could not refuse it, and did not desire to refuse it But I am a candidate before you. and I take off my hat to you, and ask of the ladies aud the gentlemen their support [Applause.] At the conclusion of Mr. Hendricks’s remarks, .fudge Jordan addressed the assemblage. In the evening a meeting was held at the court-house, where Francis T. Uord, Democratic candidate for Attorney-general, delivered an address. GENERAL HITLER. The Greenback Candidate Addresses TOree Thousand People at Chicago, Chicago, Sept. 3. —General Butler arrived here this afternoon from Michigan. Owing to the fact that the train came at an unexpected hour, the committee to meet him was not at the depot. He proceeded to a hotel and spent the time till evening in consultation with his sup{>orters on the question of the proposed fusion with the Democrats on the electoral ticket in Illinois. The result has not transpired. About 060 people gathered in Battery D armory this evening, for the purpose of listening to an address by General Butler. He appeared shortly after 8 o'clock, and was received with cheers. He said most of the people both in the Republican and Democratic parties were honest, and there were bad men in both. The Savior of mankind, in choosing his twelve apostles, found one who had a devil and was a thief. The doings of the Republican party of late had shown that there were a considerable number of corrupt men in it. The Democratic and Greenback parties, within the past twenty-five years, had no chance to be tempted, and therefore it could not be known whether they were corrupt. The Republican party had made a good record in saving the Union and freeing 4,000,006 of slaves, but that was a past record, like that on a tombstone. The Democratic party made a good record under Jackson; and if Jackson was alive today, he would vote for him with all his heart. At the last election something over 8,000,000 votes were cast At the coming election there will be 11,000,000. The workingmen of the Nation number 16,000,000. What was to prevent them from choosing a President? If they voted with either of the old parties, or divided their votes between thorn, the workingmen's vote would be thrown away. The speaker was laboring to keep the other parties from succeeding in their scramble for office. If Jhis hearers would vote for him, their votes would not he thrown away, even if they didn't succeed in electing their candidate. Men were in the habit of coming to him and asking him if he really expected to be elected. His reply was, he didn’t care. He was sent here to the Democratic convention to ask that body what it was going to do for the laboring man. It wouldn’t promise to do anything, aud he left it. Now he wanted the workingmen to vote together, no matter whether their candidate was elected or not If they did this, they would not have to ask the parties, at the next conventions, what they would give the workingman. They would come to him and ask wbathe wanted.

The speaker then proceeded to speak of the demands which he had made at the Democratic convention in behalf of labor, in a vein similar to that pursued by him in former speeches, and followed with similar references to the action of the tariff laws and the importation of labor under contract.

JAMES G. BLAINE.

Brunswick, Me., Sept a— There was a Republican rally at Topsham this, evening, at which 2,500 persons were present Mr. Blaine was introduced as the next President of the United States, and said:

“Your chairman will permit me to object to that form of presentation, fox the people of the United States will claim the right to be heard on that point I am not here to make a speech. I hare attended many meetings this summer, and I have seen that the principal result of my intro duction has been to interrupt the proceedings. There are often gentlemen present from distant States and from our own, whom you desire to hear, and among these it gives me special pleasure to see there is one who causes my thoughts to go back for a space of twenty-four years— Judge West, of Ohio. I will no longer detain you from hearing him. ” [Applause and cheers. ] Manchester, N. H., Sept a— James G Blaine left Portsmouth at 8:10 this evening, accompanied by ex-Governor Smith and General R. M. Batcheldor, of this city, arri\ mg here an hour later. About three thousand persons welcomed the party at the station. Mr. Blaine was driven to “The Willows,” Governor Smith's residence. He will address the people at the New England fair to-morrow.

Blaine: “Vermont points the way to victory next November in an old-fashioned Republican majority for the State ticket In the face of an unscrupulous enemy, who conducted a still-hunt canvass, assisted by the independents and tlie trickery of split tickets, we have won a glorious victory. The Green Mountain Republicans send greetings or. a majority of 23,000 for Pingree and Ormsbee, and Blaine and Logan The canvass was made on national issues.

Pingree’s majority over Redington, 22,879; Pingree’s majority over all, 20,323. ‘ The remaining towns will increase Pingree's majority over all so 22,500.

Boston, Sept 3.— The Republican State convention was called to order this morning by CL airman Lodge, who made no address. A motion that the chairman and secretary of the State committee be invited to act as temporary officen of the convention, was adopted, “rtui committees webe then appointed. The committee on permanent organization reported for president Robert M. Morse, jr., and that gentleman addressed the convention. Be noted the absence from the convention of some of -his former associates, men of high character, who thought it necessary to part company with their old comrades for a 'while. He reviewed the course of the Democrats in Congress, and in regard to national election laws, declared u impossible to secure fair elections b. the South. He contrasted the course

of the Democrats in Congress with that of the Republicans, and showed the progress of civilservice reform under the Republicans. On the other hand, he quoted Carl Sehur* in 1880, when he said: “One thing is certain, the Democratic party, in its fashion, will reform the civil service. " It will do it according to the old Democratic principle—to the victors belong the spoils. Mr. Morse then reviewed the attitude of both parties upon the tariff, and closed by a lengthy defense of the character of Mr. Blaine. Mr. Lodge moved the nomination of George D. Robinson for Governor by acclamation, and the motion was carried with au outburst of enthusiasm. It was moved that the remainder of the old ticket be renominated by acclamation, and the motion was carried unanimously. Following is the ticket: Governor, George D. Robinson; Lieu-tenant-governor, Oliver Ames; Secretary of State, Henry L. Pierce; Treasurer, Daniel A. Gleason; Auditor, Charles R, Ladd; Attorneygeneral, Edgar J. Sherman. On motion of Hon George F. Hoar, Mark Hopkins and Hon. Thomas Talbot were unanimously nominated electors at large. The report of the committee on resolutions was presented. The report was adopted without debate. The platform recites the grand achievements of the Republican party, and affirms that it alone can deal wisely and considerately with the questions of the day, both State and national; favors a protective tariff, in which reforms and corrections can be made with a view to reducing the surplus, and, at the same time, correcting inequalities, but not by horizontal reduction, which is a step toward the disastrous experiments of free trade; pledges the Republican party to further the best interests of the laboring classes; favors continued reform in the civil service, and opposes enforced political assessments; a foreign policy is demanded which shall protect citizens everywhere, and a free ballot and iui honest count are insisted upon; restoration of the navy is advised, and further coinage of the silver dollar is deemed inadvisable; the platform of the national convention is indorsed; the nomination of Blaine and Logan strongly commended, and the administration of President Arthur heartily praised. United States Senator Hoar, in the course of his speech, said, referring to the young men: “You are not, in voting for Cleveland, helping to elect a President; you are simply aiding a conspiracy which is to take possession of the supreme executive office.” After a few remarks by N. P. Banks, the convention adjourned.

Massachusetts Democrats. Worcester, Mass., Sept 3.—The Democratic State convention was called to order by General Collins, who congratulated the Democratic party upon the certainty of success in November. The officers of the State committee were made the temporary officers of the convention. Committees were then appointed. Twenty-two cities and 325 towns were represented by 1,650 delegates. Jonas H. French was made permanent chairman. He addressed the convention at some length, every allusion to Governor Cleveland being loudly applauded. The various committees were appointed, and the convention took a recess. An informal vote was taken for candidate for Governor. The vote was made inoperative, the chairman stated, because a package of votes had been found so closely pat together that they must have been cast by mistake. Colonel Hargett said the chairman had very mildly designated as*a “mistake” the bunch of ballots found by the committee, bat every one knew what snch mistakes meant in a political convention. He, therefore, moved that the committee be instructed to throw out the bunch of ballots in question and then report the state of the vote. The motion was carried by a large majority. A formal ballot was ordered and the delegates required to pass over the stage and deposit their votes with the chairman and secretary. On this first formal ballot, William C. Eudicott was nominated for Governor, receiving 385 votes of the 721 cast, or four votes more than necessary to a choice. The nomination was made unanimous, and the ticket completed as follows: Lieu-tenant-governor, James 8. Grinnell; Secretary of State, Jeremiah Crowley; Treasurer and Re-ceiver-general, Charles Marsh; Auditor, John Hopkins; Attorney-general,John W. Cummings. The convention then adjourned.

Rosenthal briefly addressed the convention.

A motion to table the resolutions resulted—lo 4 yeas, 279 nays. The committee on resolutions then reported. The majority report declares it inexpedient and impracticable, at this day, to place a State ticket in the field, and recommends Republicans to aid all independent candidates for State offiees, who are favorable to the defeat of the Democrats. The minority report declares in favor of a straight Republican State ticket, and also for a Blaine and Logan electorial ticket. On motion to substitute the minority for the majority report an excited and angry debate followed. Without coming to a vote the convention adjourned till 3 o’clock. On reassembling, loud and prolonged calls were made for a vote, many colored delegates demanding to be heard. A motion then prevailed limiting each speaker to ten minutes. About twenty delegates addressed the convention, many being interrupted by loud clamors for the previous questions. Motions to adjourn were voted down. The chairman finally ordered a call of the roll on the question of substituting the minority for the majority report During the roll-call interruptions were frequent, the chairman appealing to the sergeant-at-arms to restore order. The vote resulted 80 yeas and 308 nays. Great confusion prevailed on the announcement of the ballot. The majority report was then adopted by a viva voee vote. The resolutions adopted in this report represent the entire labors of the convention. The report says: “Your committee is of opinion that it is injudicious and unprecedented, at this late day, to place a State ticket in the field, and we recommend that the Republicans aid ail independent candidates for State office favorable to the defeat of the Democracy.”

Columbus, Sept 3. —Three suits in our Circuit Court, two of which were filed to-day, form a curious chapter of family history and bring up some legal points never, perhaps, deetded in any court. One Morris Cohee and his wife separated some time ago, and the latter instituted an action alleging that her husband was an able-bodied man, engaged in profitable business, and asking Hie court to ordor him to pay a certain weekly amount for the support of herself and children. Now the husband brings suit for divorce, alleging cruel treatment, a portion of -the cruelty consisting in the wife, while they lived together, writing him numerous letters signed “Vigilance,” “Indignant Citizens,” etc., the object of which was to alarm her husband and force him to leave the country. Cohee also brings suit against Jones, his father-in-law, claiming $5,000 damages, the damage consisting in the fact that Mr. Jones has possession of plaintiff’s children and refusos to give them up unless the latter will pay off a certain note he owes to a third party, and on which Jones is surety. The trial of these cases is looked forward to with no little interest, as the parties, especially Mr. Jones, stand high in the community.

Crawfordsville, Sept 3.— The case of Charley Johnson, late deputy county treasurer, on the charge of embezzlement is being tried before Justice Cumberland. Two days have been consumed in examining witnesses, but nothing to criminate Mr. Johnson has been developed.
