BUTLER'S CAMPAIGN. | Gathering of the yoreester. Clans at Butler the Bold Puts the Republican Ring to Flight. Great Consternation Among the Party Leaders. THE LAST POWWOw. Enthusiasm of the People Over the Essex Statesman. Worcester, Mass,, Sept, 26, 1871. Worcester 1s full of politicians to-night. Every hotel 1s crowdea with them, and the private board- Ang houses and all sorts of sleepable places all pre- sent thelr hundreds of the old ana new wirepuilers of the Commonwealth, All sorts of people are here gathered together, from the standard-bearers of the various aspirants for office down through successive | gradations to the lackeys who feed upon the crumbs from their master tables, There are many new faces among the hetereogeneous mass, Every body expected that the tlme-honored veterans which invariably hover about at political conven- | tions would ghow their faces here, but there were | few who dreamed Jedediah Simpkins, the honest young farmer from the back country, or the Rey. Mr. Lanternjaw, a clerical shepherd from the Eastern section of the State, would leave their homes to participate in the logroliing at Worcester, Jedediah, although his homespun clouhes are not of the jatest cut, and bis awkward appearance provokes many a smile in the corridors through which he passed, is bound to see the thing through, He represents the farming interests of the State, and has for some time been divided in Opinion as to which candidate he should support. Local prejudices have ttle influence with him, He as for “the best man and the squarest man all through, snd J don’t care the filp-up of a Continen- bal sixpence what his politics are.” Co os°Wwirar tis Farmers say. 1 “How do they stand up your way, Jedediah?” I baked, “Well, Vil tell you.

The Rev. Mr. Lanternjaw is a well preserved specimen of humanity, He has veen a regularly ordamed clergyman for fifteen years, and m= the course of that time has identified himself with every moral and ismatic re- former of the Commonwealth, and takes pride in styling himself one who labors tor the amelioration of his fellow men, He clings firmly to tie doctrine of infant damnation, while he classes rumsellers in the same category With unborn babes.

He | favors an merease 10° the wages of the | Yaborers, while he strictly demauas_ his tthe | of the income of the working man’s efforts, Mr. | Lawteryaw is no hypocrite, howev he | is sanctimonious in his demeanor as well as straignt- laced in his ideas, and will not acknowledge that there is a particice of hypocrisy in his composition. Believing that the end justifies the means, Mr. Lan ternjaw isin favor of the nomination of Benjamm ¥. Batler for Governor of Massachusetts. He 1s here ‘as the representative of a large proportion of the clergy of the commonwealth to advocate his belief wefore the delegates in preliminary caucus, if not 4a the face and eyes of the whole Convention, and he, too, like Mr. Simpkins, 1s determined vo struggie to the inst. “How Is this, Mr. Lanternjaw?” I queried half an hour ago, “How can a genticman of your cioth support General Butler, when he is sald to be tn pen rebellion to many of the doctrines which you reverence (”? x tell you the trath, my dear young friend, we may somewhat demean our’ profession by engaging ima political coufict, Benjamm Butler may not bars Srttodoe. in oe of his Thetava he wrid ‘but, whatever may be Als motiyes, ve he will | ‘carry out his pledge "8 faithtu fy Secale telaws.

This action of the State Committee cannot be othecwIss tit “accéptdble, ana the Butler faction look upon it as an assurance doubly sure of victory. They claim that in the pre. liminary organization they frinmnh and of course if they do the Committee on Credentials will be of the Buuler stripe, and the weakness of human natnre is too weil understood to hazard the tdea for @ moment that the anil-Butier delegates will not be excluded, A SCENE IN THE COMMITTEE ROOM.

The has provoked considerabie comments in a , aud not a lite indignation and mortiiication among the General’s opponents. Collector Lyman, it 1s said, found things getting so warm that he left town on the evening train, HEADQUARTERS OF THE DIFFERENT CANDIDATES. All the competing candidates have tueir head- quarters under the rool of the Bay State House, and every one of them 1s here in person superintending the preliminaries of the Convention, so far asit 18 possible for them todos), The far-sighted Butier headed off his opponenis some weeks since by en- gaging the best portions of the hotel, He not only spoke for all the best parlors, but actually went so jar as to secure every ‘other room in the house that ghe proprietors would grant him.

There were an odd three thousand of the bone and sinew and brain and iwuscle of the State in attendance, and the crowded aisles and thronged vestibules evince | ‘the great interest which pervaded, It was an earn- est crowd, Every member of tt seemed to feel as if | the moment was one of the proudest that | ever occurred life.

It Was altogether the biggest and most enthusl astic in the Butler interest of the whole campaggu. The Excitement at Midvight—Failure of an Anti-Botler Meeting—Rumored Alliance Be- tween Butler and Loring—The Figures of the Canvass—Batler Far Ahend. Worcester, Sept. 26—Midnight, The situation at this writing is more exciting and more favorable for General Butler than ever before since the inception of the canvass, The Butler op- ponents nad arranged for an outdoor demonstra- tion this evening, but the General drew so largely upon the crowd at his meeting tha: the idea was abandoned. The Lyman tetter also created 4 PANIC AMONG THE ANTIS, and they for the first time frankly acknowledge that the irrepressible Essex statesman 1s a formida- ble candidave, although they must have inwardly realized the fact along time ago. So pregnant with disaster had Butler's claims become in fact that a meeting of the opposing factions was held to-night, with the avowed purpose of endeavoring Lo effect a consolidation of the anti-Butler delegates upon some one candidate. At this meeting the friends of all sides were fairly represented, and a general consultation ensued, which has just ended, The proceedings, of course, were kept strictly private; but it 1s stated by well informed parties that all efforts looking towards conciliation were fruitless and that au adjournment was had un- til to-morrow morning, at half-past eight o’clock. The friends of Mr. Rice wanted the Washburn pai tisans to come over to their side, and vice versa, Dr. Doring, however, stood firm. He and his peo- ple insisted that they stood a square chance before he convention on an open ballot, and refused to give up their claims to anybody, THERE ARE STRANGE HINTS about the hotel to-night to th erfect (hat Messrs. Rutler and Loring are to hold a private consulta- tion as soon as the crowd clears away, and that it will result in ensuring the victory of the former. Whetner this prove true or not the But- ler men are remarkably jubilant —_to- night, and both outside and inside the hotel they are singing campaign songs and generally having @ good time, As Matters stand now, I do not think there need be any question that General Butler will be the next Governor of Massachusetts, ‘Toe following are THE LATEST FIGURES of the canvass, given more for political effect than with a desire to iniuencce the opinions of the pnb- lies: BUTLER FIGURES.

Police Commissioner Smith and Sinclair Tousey, in company with Waldo Hutch- ings, headed the delegation from the metropolis, and Archie Bliss, THE HANDSOMEST MAN IN KINGS COUNTY, headed the Brooklyn delegates. Archie had tele- graphed for room for thirty, and supposing he would get thirty rooms, and could do some sand- wiching, had brought up quite an extra crowd. But accommodations for thirty does not always mean thirty rooms, so Archie was in a bad state for some time; but all were nally and comfortably dis- posed of, THE MURPHY-CONKLING FACTION from New York and Kings arrived this morning, Conkling arrived last nigut, and they have estab- lshed their headquarters at the Globe Hotel.
