Mr. liutlcr attended the State convention at tirecnslioro and was generally ai crc.liled with the authorship of a good portion of the platform adopted Moreover, Republicans were doubt less w illing to give Mr. Butler a fixed place in their councils, for they credit him with wonderful familiar ily with the art of nlitics, but hi lieth-r judgment must have Ih-cii stronger than Ihis natural bent, and he kept out of it.
