Butler’s shifting role in Massachusetts Democrats

The New York Sun notes that General Butler once led Massachusetts Democrats from a minority to a majority, remaining a “good enough democrat” even to contemporaries who now question his loyalty. The Boston Post had previously considered him insufficiently democratic, and this contrast illustrates shifting partisan judgments.

Blaine singled out as the pursuer in probe

The Syracuse Herald reports there is no public evidence that Mr. Blaine was approached with an improper proposal while he was speaker. All available evidence suggests he was the actor, not the target, indicating he was the seducer rather than the seduced.

William H. Whitmore, linked with the Butler-Plympton bureau, moved from ward 10 to ward 12 after Republicans failed to reelect him.

Tallapoosa Sinking Marks Navy Debauchery Scandal

The Tallapoosa’s wreck is linked to junketing and official excesses that stain the navy department.

Essex County New Jersey, long controlled by Republicans for 22 years, faces fraud allegations after an account shows a shortfall exceeding 800000 dollars. Newark city governance faced prior frauds three years ago, leading to a party shift to Democrats.
