Butler was the unsuccessful candidate for Massachusetts governor as a Republican in 1871 and 1872, as an independent in 1878, and as a Democrat in 1879; he was elected governor in 1882 as a Greenback and a Democrat.

The financial record -- The political record -- The record as an economist -- The record as a friend of soldiers and sailors -- The record as the workingman's friend -- The character he brings from the last place.
