Boston, Sept. 17.—The Herald thinks the republicans made a mistake in the nomination of Long, the result of which will be the narrowing of the party in the campaign. The work of defeating Butler is made heavier than it might have been. It speaks courteously of Long and presumes he will be elected.
The Advertiser says: "There is no longer a division in the republican party of Massachusetts. From this hour all disappointments are forgotten, all regrets buried." It accepts the decision of the convention in good faith.
The Post says that Long will receive no democratic support, he will encounter the heated opposition from both republican and Butler parties, and at the present writing his defeat is quite as probable as his election.
