KBW YOBK CITT. ' The declared deteimination of Gen. But­ ler to put himself in the field for the Presi­ dency is a top'c about which politicians of all parties in this city have much td nay. Said a well-known ex-member of the Alder- manic chimber and Sachem of Tammany this afternoon: "Of course John Kelly will not s y so in so ma y words, but you can just make up your mind that he, as well as the majority of the Tammmy voters, is extremely glad ti know that they will be ab.e to vote for Butl< r this autumn if they feel so iuclined. There 11 re several reasons why Butler is sure to catch a large portion of the Irish vote. He is bo'd, aggressive, and without on iota of sympathy with En­ gland. Cl.nton Furbish, a Brooklyn Greenbick- er, taid: "Gen. Butler is a cam idate in earnest for tha Presidency. He will with­ out doubt poll a large vote in this S ate and the States of Mass ichnsetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Mich gan. Why, I be­ lieve that the Ge eral will poll more votes in C iicago than Cleveland. Thomas Dennehy, a member of the In­ dependent Labor part? and an Irish Na­ tionalist, said: "I think that his candidacy wi 1 result in throwing the election, into the House of Repr s ntitives, in which event Cleveland would probably win." BOCHESTER. The disaffection in the R< publican rante is quite pronounced in this section. The Independents have organized and will sup- p rt C eveland. Ther > are, however, many Republicans so disgusted with Blaine that they will vote for Buller ia her than sup­ port Cleveland. The indications are, there­ fore. tl.at Butler will draw more Blaine than, Cleveland votes. He will certainly poll quite a heavy vote in this city. BCIYAI.O. Opinions on the position of Butler in the campiyg 1 are as yet mainly expressions of what is hoped or feared. Republicans ex­ pect that his canvass, if made at all agres- pive, will draw largely from Cleveland. They are looking for his support by Tam­ many Hall, the New York Sun, aid the bolting Irish laborers. It is expressed free­ ly that he will draw two men from Cleveland to one from Blaine, yet it is ob­ served that in this reckoning the Irish boat­ ers, who ar? not scarce here, are reckoned as coming from Cleveland. Democrats re­ tort by saying that these votes are a'ready lost to Cleve'and, and it is a gain to throw them to Butlfr. Ihey add that Blaine will lose to St. John a'l that he can gain in the Butler Bp'it. They say that they are letting the Republicans do their worst at pres ?nt; thaf. their campaign is not open, and will not be until Cleve'and's letter is out, when they propose to become more aggressive at a l points. Republicans are very active everywhere else. SYRACUSE. The effect of Butler's acceptance in thiB Congressional district (the Twenty-fifth) will not be so mirked as iu other districts in the State. The workii gnoen here are largely Republicans, and, as a rule, stick to their party. There is some disaffection among the workingmen in both part es, and the votes of the disaffected will go to But­ ter. The cigar-makers, of whom there is a , large number here, are strong for Cleveland ! because he signed the tenement house cignr bill for New York City, aud are wot king hard to overcomi «!^.e objections to him in his party. EMtlRA. Butler's ac&ptauce is received with sat­ isfaction by mauy workingmen and Green­ backers in Elmira and vicinity. Chemung County has been quite a stronghold of Greenbackism in years past, and throughout the entire southern tier Butler has many frieuds. The party has taken it for grafted that he would accept. A fair-sized public club has been organized and a fine baaner suspended over one of the principal busi­ ness streets of this city. Rev. Thomas K. Beecher is a prominent Greenbacker and has been all along enthusiastic for Butler. He says he shall do all he can f r him in the campaign. Ralph Beau­ mont, also prominent in politics, has al­ ready made several speeches for Butler. Butler will draw a good vote all throtlgh this section, and it is feared wil' cut into Cleveland's vote serionsly. The Democrats are oiganizing verv thorough y and will make a 1 ot fight. The B a'ne men declare their confidence in carrying Chemung Countv, but a strong effort will be made to k> ep it in the Democratic ranks. St. John will driw a good vote from Republicans and may offset Butler's inroad on the De­ mocracy. IiOCKPOET. Beu Butler's ncceptance of the nomi­ nation of the National Greenback I/ibor party was received here with much enthusi­ asm by Greenbackers and workingmen. In the Second Ward there is a Butler club with 800 members. The to'al vote of the ward is 750. Butler clubs in other wards do not show so large a membership, but his vote will he heavy. In the Holly Water-Works, where about one-half of the employes are Demo­ crats. only ten will vote for Cleveland. 1 he re mainder will go to Butler. I a Pendleton the vote of th' town is 2r0. A Butler club of thirty meoub?rs was organized at the first meeting. In Ha t'and the vote of the town is 375. There is a Butler club of seventy members in oue pol.ing distiict. Reports frcm oth T towns show an unexpected un­ dercurrent for Butler. Lawrence J. Mc- Partlin. State Committeeman of the Na- tioral Greenl ack party in this distiict in 1877, is much nurprjied at the sudde change of feeling, and from letters a d re­ ports received, claims that if the Butler noom continues he will poll fully one-third of the votes cast in Niagara County. TKOY. Butler's decision to run ere 1 ted quite an ex-itement here. The dai'y labor organ ha-< com1 out squarely for Butler. There are o\er 4,1.00 voters here out of a total poll of 11,' 00, who are enrolled among the sev­ eral libor unions. Nearly all of those vot s h ive pone for the Democratic candidates J heretofore, but the feeli g against Cleve­ land is so strong thot fully 3.000 of them are expected to be cast for the L bor candi­ date. Many of the Labor leaders have, un­ til to-dav, ra d they would refrtin from voti g a'together. Most of them are now shouting themselves hoarse i i the saloons and on the street corners for Butler. AIVBANY. . Cleveland clnbs, consisting largely of members of trades unions, have a ready been formed in the city, but the unions have taken no official action in regard to th ' c >m; a!gu.

Bu ler, announcing his intention of making a campaign as the candidate of the Grcen- b ck-Lab r nnd Anti-MoAopoly parties, caused no particular comment in this vicin­ ity. The Greenbackers had made up their minds that he would run. and expected to vi>te for him or som • other distinctive can­ didate anyhow, so that the appear.tnc • of the I ttcr had no effect upon the re'ative vote of the two principal parties in Indiana. NEW ALBANY. In relation to the candidacy of Bntler and its probable effect, Hon. Jt hn O. Greene, th'> Greenback nominee for Attorney Gen­ eral, says: "Buthr will dr>w votes from both pirties, but it is my judgment in In­ diana he will diaw three from the Demo- era's to one from the Repul 1 leans, and his candidacy *L1 defeat Cleveland.

"The Republicans expect that he will draw largely from Cleveland in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, but admit that in this State the effect of his candidacy will be to reduce Blaine's majority." The Democrats are thoroughly mid, and swear all manner of thii gs at their late idol. At a meeting which th<3 State Committee held to-day to talk over the situation it wan said that the Butler vote in this State wwld be about 15 000. On the street, howeverfthe estimates differ widely from that, some go­ ing as high as 50,Of 0. It must be admitted that the situation in Massachusetts is great­ ly complicated, and, with four tickets in the field, the chances favor the field rather Mwn the favorite. Washington. DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN OPINION. Gen. Bntlf r's declaration that he will stand by the Greenback an 1 Anti-Monopoly nominat ons is looked upon by politicians about town as having list its importance from long delay, and neither pa? ty seems to derive any part.cu'ar satisfaction from the prospect of his drawing off part of the Irish and labor vote. The Rcpubli ans contend that he oan not poll n very large Irish vote, and whatever support he gets he must draw from the tegular Democratic rank and file. The Democrats say, however, that he will draw off the dyn mite Iiish, who would have gone to Blaine had Butlfr not run, and it is hinted that th3 whole thing is planned with the hope of throwing the election into the House. It is argued that this can be done by keeping the Irish away from Blaine, and, the House being Demo­ cratic, Cleveland^ election would thus be assured. But it is generally admitted that Butler's plans are too deep for the under­ standing of ordinary mortals, and Secretary Post about expresses the general feeling by likening it t6 the Irishman who, being asked by the Judge before whom ho was brought to answer to a criminal charge, if he was guilty or not guilty, replied: "If its all the sime to yer Honor, I prefer to hear the evidence before answering yer question." Secretard McPherson, of the Republican Committee, when asked what he thought of Butler's letter, eaid: "He is doing with the Democrats just v hat be did with us when he was a Republican. He's a regular bull in a china shop. He has done as everybody expected when he was so ignominously snubbed at Chicago. He'll run now a* a Labor Democrat. They now have two can­ didates in tho field. Butler will carry a large Democratic vote. He will take some Democratic votes which would have gone to Blaine, bat these are few, and we are very willing to lose them, in view of the vast numl er hewill getthat would not have voted for Blaine.

KSeveUnd speoial te Chicago' S®t*d S. snatched the laurels fromjay- Eye-See, and the wreath again enciicles her proud neck. There was never anything like it seen before on a race track, and it is doubtfnl if anything more beautiful will ever be witnessed again. For two years Maud S. has retained undisputed posses­ sion of the proud title "Queen of the Turf," and her record of 2:10£ was regarded as proof against all new comers. At Provi­ dence, Jay-Eye-See made the circuit cf the tiack in 2:10, and obtained rightful posses­ sion of the title that was immediately ten­ dered him of "King of the Turf." Maud S. brought even that record down a quarter of a second, nnd again became the cham­ pion of the world. It was a magnificent exhibition, and was witnessed by an audi­ ence of four thousand people. It was exactly 4:'2i o'c.ock when Mr. Bair came out of tha ptable with Maud S. and drove down before the judges* stand. It was whispered along the line that she was to trot a fast mile, and hundreds of watches were held in readiness. Bair at first sent her around at an easy pace, and then drove down below the distance stand, and headed her toward the west. The mare at once struck a fast gait, and when forty feet below the judges' box, Bair nodded for the word. It was given him and the queen sprang under the wire and began her work. It was known that she was trotting fast, and every eye was fixed upon her. Grandly she held her pace, and during the entire mile there was nothing approaching a skip. Her strides were tremendous and fast. Bair, her driver, did not begin to urge her until tho quartor was passed, and then he did not crowd her to the utmost. As she passed each quarter. Hundreds of voices anuounced tho fact to those who were holding their watches, and as each pole was passed the .opinion gained grouud that tho mile would be a very speedy one. The first quarter was trotted in 32 J seconds, a 2:11 gait; tho second in 31£, a 2:0(! giit; the third in 32, a 2:08 gait; aud the fourth in 33J, a 2:14 gait. The following, there­ fore, is the summary: 32J, 1:04^, 1:36£, and 2:09|. A whisper oould have been heard when the queen passed under the wire. Those who had held watches were uncer­ tain whether they were correct, and waited the judges' announcement. In the latter box the scene was wholly different. It was known that the record had been broken, and every one congratu­ lated every one else. By and by the audience began to cry: "Time!" "Time!" whereupon the judges hung up a big card on which were the figures "2.0)|." Then a scene was witnessed such as had not been experienced since Goldsmith Maid fell behind the fearful strides of Smuggler. Cheer after cheer was given. Hats, hand­ kerchiefs, umbrellas ana canes were waved, and as Bair came back to see what the dis­ turbance was about he was greeted with an ovation. He lifted his hat modestly, and then sent the queen back to the stable. The time given was the outside time taken. Mr. Bonner, of New York, mads the time 2:09J; Secretary Fasig, 2:09 3-5; and the third timer, 2:00|. President Ed­ wards dashed across to the telegraph office and sent the following dispatch: W. H. Vanderbilt, United States Hotel, Ban- ton*, N. Y.: Allow me to congratulate you. Maud S. still reliros supreme. Her record is 2:09^, on a slow track. Before ordering her home, cc me here and See her trot in 2:07 or 2 :o& We are all hai py. WILLIAM EDWAKOS. Mr. Busbee, of the Turf, Field, and Farm* who saw the exhibition, says the Cleveland track is at least a second and a half slower than the one on which Jay-Eye- See made his famous record the other day. Just as Maud S. turned into the home stretch she was passed by another horse going in the opposite direction. This somewhat confused the mare, and she was inclined to let down, but Bair touched her gently with the vhip, and she sprang for­ ward and immediately got down to work again. The remarkable feature of the trot was tho ease in which it was accomplished. The mare was going a great deal faster than the majority of the spectators im­ agined, and when the announcement was made of the time it nearly upset some old- time sports, who, when they recovered, danced about like schoolboys at recess. The Statistics of Their Strength by gftstes. Never before, perhaps, says tha Si.

Certainly thsre never have at any other time be?n pat forward srecnla- tions so diverge t respecting the inalination of different nationalities. There were In the TJuitod States iu 188:1, as shown by the na­ tional census, 6,679,943 fjrei^-born per­ sons. These were from thir'y-seven nationalities, counting those coming from Germany, Great Bri'ain, nnd British Ameri­ ca as being from only three nationali ies. The mass of the foreign-born population, however, comes frcm the following coun­ tries and is located in the several states aa shown below: Ona- ©enn tn!

The nationalities-whiofc made up the main portion of the remainder of the foreign-born population, were: Bo- hemians, 85,361; French, 106,971; Danes, 64,196; Scotch, 170,136; Welsh, 79,332;. Hollanders, 58,090; Italians, 44,230; Mexi­ cans, 68,390; Norweauans, 181,729; Poles, 48,577; Buss ans, 357722; Swedes, 194,337; and Swiss, 88,621. These are well dis­ tributed through the Northern States, but few being in the former slave Siat?s. It will be observed that the Germans are the most numerous el1 ment of the foreign-born population. If the nation­ alities of Northern Europe, speaking German or kindred languages, iure counted, together, they comprise ha f the ent re for­ eign-born population, and exeaed by 50 per cent, the Irish, who ar i the next most nu­ merous natio ality. The popular vote at the Presidential election of 1880 was 9,210,- 970, or something above 18 per oent. of the population--that is, one vote to every 5.42 of the population. It is certain, however, that, by reason of not having qualified, or not having as much interest in elections as native-b( ra citizens, the foreign-born pop­ ulation does not send voters to the polls in proportion to its numbers. This is shoftn by the fact that iu large cities, and wherever the foreign population is great­ est, the number of votes polled is farthest short of the number of males of voting age. For ex imp'e, the vote of St. Louis does not reach ha'f the number of males above the age of 21 yeirs, as shown by the census. Instead of casting one vote to every 5.42 persons it may be fairly inferred that not more than one in eight of the for­ eign-born population goes to the polls. It will be observed that in all the States close­ ly contested by the Republican and Dem­ ocratic parties there isa large foreign popu­ lation, the Germans g-merally preponder­ ating. Iu New York and New Jersey the Irish-born largely exceed the German-born, while in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wis­ consin the Germans are most numerous, it very great changes are wrought in the polit­ ick complexion of the foreign-born vote th* figures snow the result of the approaching- election may be radically affected by them. A WEDDING WITH A HISTORY. The Sow of Sharon Marries the Divorced Wife of J. W. Breckinridge, «T Cali­ fornia. , [San Francisco special.] Fred Sharon, the sou of the ex-Senator of the name, and Mrs. Louise Brecken- ridge, the daughter of Lloyd Tevis, Presi­ dent of Wells, Fargo & Co., ard the di­ vorced wife of J. W. Breckenridge, were privately married last night at the residence Of Lloyd Tevis, this city. This is the end of a scaudal of long standing. Brecken- ridge, the son of the late V loe President, married Miss Tevis six or seven years ago much a»ainst the will of her parents, who objected because of the youth's reckless and dissipated habits. Soon after the mar­ riage Bceckenridge began to abuse his bride, and it was even said beat her. He certainly grew reckless, neglected his business, and finally was forced out of his firm because of drunkenness. He was a dehgite to the Chicago Democratic Convention, and was the young man who broke down so hopelessly in placing Thurman in nomina­ tion. He is now a country lawyer and a member of the California Assembly. The marriage of his divorced wife with Sharon is a great surprise. The Tevis family is of the bluest blood in Kentucky, and Lloyd Tevis one of the richest men here. How the Sharon marriage could have been ar­ ranged on the heels of the Sharon-Hill scandal, is what puzzles the friends of the Tevis family. The ex-Senator's millions, however, have probably smoothed the way. PROHIBITION IN IOWA. Aa Important Liquor Law Decision at Clinton.

He was committed until paid. Ihe prisoner wns released by Judga Hayes, who decided that the Justice had no jurisdiction; that, as the law provides penalties for ihe sale of liquor beyond the statutory limit of $100 fine and thirty dvys imprisonment, Justices or such officers can only act as committing mngistrates.

BETTING ON THE ELECTION. •porting Hen Patting Equal Honey on U»» Two Tickets. [New York special to Philadelphia Press.] Among sporting men the betting is equal as between Blaine and Cleveland. Joe- Rickey, of St. Lonis and Washington, who won heavily on the election of Carlisle aa Speaker, and on the nomination of Blaine and Cleveland, has placed a good deal of money on the latter's elec­ tion. But while Rickey is proverbially ® lucky man, he is not a «»fe man to follow in wagers, since he never bets against his par­ tisan preference. At Long Branch the other day Phil Daly told me that he was holding about $4,0 0 in b ;ts\on the Presidential election, and that in every ease the wagers were even. Daly himself, although a life­ long Democrat, as all Philadelphia E)liticiuis know, is iuolined to go far laine tbi* time. The fellows who bet on Cleveland are generally New Yorker* who hang about the Stock Exchange and clubs and don't get out among the people much. There is even more bet­ ting on States than on tha general result. One even wager was mads in my hearing that Pennsylvania would give B'«iue 50,000 majority. On New Jeisay there are many propositions, the favorite being that the truck patch will go Republican. Woeris- hoffer, the Wall street broker, bets that Cleveland will carry New York. Per con­ tra, I hear of a bet that Blaine will carry that - State by 2 ',000. A favorite Republi­ can wager is th it Blaine will be Started with or without Ne.v York. SOUTHEtCN COITON CROP. YlsM.
