OLE SEVERTS, OF Salem.
In Wisconsin the party is taking rapid
root. We quote the following items
from the Wisconsin Greenback:
On Tuesday evening, the 10th inst.,a Green
back meeting WAS held in the new school house
1t Norwalk. A good sized audiencs was in at
tendance, and for two hours gave their undi-
vidsd attention to the truths presented IN re-
lation to the only issues Of the day worthy the
attention Of the people Much interest was
manifested, and we left, feeling assured that il
only wants the proper factstO b shown broad
cast before the down -trodden masses to cause
them to arise and rend the shackles that bind
them to the old parties, the voluntary agents Of
the big gamblers Of the age.
The Greenback meeting which was to have
been held at Cataract on Saturday evening,
next, the 23d inst. has been postponed until
Thursday evening IT next week, the 28ul inst.
1t which time It Is hoped, there will b big
turn out Of independent voters Of that section.
A number Of the Greenback men Of Sparta will

In Kansas the Independent marty i.
spreading like prairie fire. The battle
there is really between Cooper anu
Hayes ;-Ti.den is out Of the question
altogether. We could fill this whole
page with extracts from the Fort Scott
Pioneer, descriptive Of meetings and con-
ventions held by the Greenback men.
