MASSACHUSETTS, Sptetal Dispatch to Tle Chicago Tribune, WoncestEr, Mass., Sept. 1—The Demo- erntic Convention to-tny did not carry out the entire prograin which Gen. Butler, the acknowledged dictator, had so carefully ar ranged before the meeting of the delegates. ‘This was due to tho yactllation of Mr. Butler himself. When he came to the .clty this morning he saw thata full body of the dele- gates were opposed to tho nomination of, Mr. Gaston for Governor, and favorable to. the Hon. C, 4. Thompson. Accorilingly. the plians were changed, and ‘it: was -de-; ered not to attempt to force. Mr. Gaston upon them with much earnest- ness, -The duty of presenting. his namo was assisned toa prominent Butlerite, with: the undergtanding that Butler should second it, But the name was received with such fll favor that tho plan was modified, and Mr. Butler himself called upon the Convention to express its preferonce for any man by ofalr and free ballot, Kirst, howevor, a motion having been made to nominate by acclamo- tion, he declined posttively to be n candidate, The result of the ballot was the defeat of Gaston and the nomination of Thompsen, who is beat known outside tho Statens theman who defeated Ben for Congressin the Essex District four yeara ago. The nomination will be dis- tasteful to the nominee, fer he profers to bo outside of the active palitleal contest. It 1s regarded nas o bad move for Ben that he allowed the Convention to take this step, for Thompson is tho pet of the party, and {t may be hard to turn.4¢ against kim next thme should he run this year and wish tothon, By asingular coincidence the can- didate for Licutenant-Govornor isalsonamed Thompson. Prof. Perry withdrew this morning, against the wishes of his friends. Tho Conventlon was very uninteresting and quiet in its debates, Batler occupied 1 eat upon the platform during the entire proceedings. - Walting tlil the delegates had allassembletl, he then entered the hall and marched the entire length of the main ‘aisle. He was recelved with tho expected ovation, which he acknowledged by bowing Jow from side to side. On tho platform he was surrounded by the ‘ old-linars,” tho bit- ter tues of past contests, It was very. hard for some of them to do it dn the presence of the whole Convontton, but one by one they «stepped up, shook hands with him, andsurrendered, Ho seemed. to enjoy It hugely, and smiled most affably and graciously on all, He finally took his saatncar Judge Woudbury and Col. Walker, is his most cordial haters, They looked comfortable, but were obliged to suf- bi contact. Saye “Butler mnio two speeches during the aftere noon,—tho .first when he declined to be a candidate, and tlio second while a committes was out In which he compared the records of tho Republican and Democratic parties, very much. to the advantage of tha latter, Hie carricd the organization of the Campaign Conunittes for next year, havi of the fifteen members at larea slevan out THE PROCKEDINGS, wane, 78 the Wresire Aucctated Press TEN, Mass, Sept, 1—Th eratio Sats Convention eek tn Meckooter Tall to-day, and. wus called to order by Cal, John H.

After sone talk the sublod was dropped, with evident great disappolnthient to the en- thuslastic Convention. ‘Khe Comifittee on Permanent Organiza- tion recommended P, A.

When Mr. Haggerty had concluded iis culogy of ex-Gov, Gaston, Allen, of Hol- yoke, spoke In opposition to his nomination, Objections were raised to Allen continuing, and fn the midst of confusion. |. ALLEN WAS CHOKED OFF, 4 Mr, Tarbox, of Lawrence, moved’ that the Convention proceed to ballot for a candidate for Governor, é Mr. Allen insisted upon speaking upon the qualifications of the candidates, but was ruled out of order. Sas A motion to lay Tarbox’s motion upon the fable was lost, and it was voted to proceed to lot. “ Half a dozen addressed the Chair, but Gen, Collins ruled everything out of order except tho ballot for Governor. ~ : - A motion was then mnde to reconsider.the motion to proceed to ballot, BUTLER TALKS. The Chairman presented Gen. Butler as, one of the best known fentiemen in the’ country, ‘Gen.

Sruxorviey, Il, Sept. 1.—In the opening: speech of his campaizn at Belleville Sfon- day,‘ Lymann Trutnbull, Democratic nomi- nee for Governor, used these words: The Republicns rty bas be i ‘or in nines for twenty. years, In tho mes intinodtate . capone bave Increased enormously, and taxes tate and Jocal—have becomo so exeraaive int somo focullties as to constime not only tho In- come on roporty and theroby destroy its mare ketable value, but fn somo cures thoy bive amotinted to confiscation of tho property tacit. 1o [nat Auditor's report shows that tho amount town, district, and othor local taxes charged on the tax-books of 1877 ‘wan $2,246,142.91, or nearly $10 for evory man, wornan, and child In tho State. This cinbraces nearly all that Mr, ‘Trum- buli sald about State affairs, In these remarks, he elther Intended to deliberately deceive his hearers by conveying the im- pression that the State taxes amounted to nearly $10 per capita, or he attempted to” hold the Republican party responsible for the State, county, elty, town, district, and other local taxes levied throughout Illinols, Whichever form of the dilema he accepts will prove equally discreditable, both to his honesty and Intelligence. The Itepublican State Adininistration hasno contro! whatever over local taxes, and It is manifestly unfalr tw charge {t with responsibility therefor. , ME, TRUMBULL'S FIGURES were takon from the Inst Auditor's report, which a few Ilnes below showed that the to- talnmount of State tax charged that year was $4,185,601, Instend of amounting to nearly $10 per capita for every man, woman, and child in the Stute, as indirectly inthinat- ed by Mr. Trumbull, the State taxes collect- ed during the past few yeara to maintain the State Government, to defray all the expenses 4 of the State charitable - institutions, and to pay of the State debt, have been about capita. But 80 cents per as Mr, Trumbull has attempted to hold the ‘Republican party responsible for all the local dindebtedness of the varlous counties and inunielpalities throughout tho State, let us seo what the record shows upon this polnt. According to a statement compiled and pub- lished by the Auditor, ‘the total amount of local indebtedness of nll kinds owed by the “yarlous counties of Uinois on July 1, 1883, was 351,910,000 In round numbers. Of this ainount, $89,425,038 was owed by the counties whieh returned a Democratic majority at the last Presidential election, and which were UNDER DEMOCRATIC CONTROL, while the Republican counties of the Stnto owed but $12,113,082 dollars. The contrast is indeed remarkable, and does not furnish a yery strong argument in favor of achango from. Republican to Democratic - manage- ment. The statements made in Mr, Trumbull’s speech relative to State taxation wore 50 re- markably Incorrect as to attract general at- tention liere, where the facts are known, the extent of which is shown in this dispatels, Tune Trmunx correspondent today’ ob- tained the following figures from the ks of the Auditor's office, and they are there- fore oficial : Ps When, the Republican party, came Into power in this Suite on Pee, 1, 1860, the State debt amotinted’ to $10, 477,161, During the ‘War _ $2,000,000 of war bonds were added to” “the Stato debt.

During Gov.

Ogles: by’s Adininistrations the rte was Increased but during Gov, Haverldgols {t was reduced to 20% cents on the $100, and during Gov, Cullom’s Admiutstration this low rate has been maintained, notwithstanding the very Jarge appropriations made for the bullding of saveral now State Institutions, the rate for the Inst two years being 27 cents on tha $100, ‘The statement made by Mr. Trumbull that the State tax amounted to $30,245,949 fn 2877 Includes all the State, county, city, township, and all otner taxes, including rallrond, bonis anudall.
