The excerpt states Benjamin F. Butler was defeated in Massachusetts not by the Democratic Party. It notes the question of sustaining an able, fearless judge and reports that the people voted three to one against punishing a judge for doing his duty. Judge Martin won every county and nearly every precinct, while Kirby and Miller’s elections are claimed to be funded by money and whisky, a charge the author dismisses as despicable and untrue.

By Implication and the Reflector Circulation
