And I recollect that, in our State conven tion at Worcester in 1880, Mr. Boutwell, who is now an ardent advocate of Mr. Blaine's election, was so sure of the repugnance felt to him by Massachusetts, that his strong est argumentto induce us to favor the renominatlon of General Grant was this - that, it Grant did not receive the nomination, it would certainly be captured by Blaine. And Blaine himself felt so deeply this opposition that he uttered some bitter words in the senate against the char acter and history of Massachusetts - so bitter that our senator, Mr. Hoar, felt called on to reply with consid crable severity. We also stand where the Republicans of Massachusetts stood in the convention at Worcester, when General Butler - then seeking a Republican nom ination - moved that a delegate had no right to sit in that convention who had said that, if Butler were 110m inated, he would not vote for him. Massachusetts Repub licans then decided that they and their delegates were just as free after the convention as they were before, and always had a right to bolt a bad nomination. Indeed, these argu ments were so stringent that they seem even to have con vinced and converted Butler himself to our view; for now, having been a delegate to the Democratic convention at Chicago, he has bolted its nomination, and is running on his own ticket.
