"LET EN- FIGHTr-We publish q commuuica-
ton from Barney 0'Driscoll, wading into the
Democracy on the Greenback question. 1t is fun
to hear this old Democrat showing up the sins
of Democracy. But Barney should not misrep-
resent the position of Gen. Jackson. Old Hickory
was poison on all kinds of paper money, no mat
ter by whom issued. He would love the Green
back just as he did the United States Bank pa
per. Jackson was hard money, through and
through, and, if alive to-day, he would he
leading Resumptionist. The greenback is Re-
publican production The Republican party
made it, and Republican Supreme Court de-
cided that it was legal money. Had it not been
for this decision, the Democratic party would
have destroyed the greenback, and made it as
worthless as Confederate money. We know that
many Republicans have "reneged" on the green
back, but the Republican party is the one to
thank for this money. If the Greenbackers in
this part of Kansas are honest in their profess
sions, and are not hotter after Office than green
backs, why are they so persistent in trying to
organize separate partyi Col. Phillips, the
Republican Congressman from this District, is
one of the staunchest Greenback men in this
country. He stands up for it under all circum.

ENDORSEMENTS TO ORDER.-A meeting, got up
for the purpose, last week assembled in New
York, and endorsed the Presidents policy. As
those only who were willing to endorse were in
vited, of course the meeting was very unani-
nous. As Alexander H. Stepens, Vice President
of the late Rebel Confederacy, was invited to he
present, it must have been a cutting rebuke to
those stubborn New York Republicans. When o
President elected as Republican, is rebuked by
the Republican party of the great State of New
York. and his friends seek to poultice the sore by
getting up meeting in his favor, composed in
part of Southern Rebel leaders, it looks as if he
were getting pretty hard mp for an endorsement.
The meeting was held, but its action fell still

came up, about the same time from Ohio.
z That caucus the Bulle,isites held Monday
night, didn't pan out very satisfactorily. They
got up their delegate ticket, and then undertook
to pledge those who were present. 1t was first
moved that they pledge themselves against
Burkhalter. They all agreed. Then the old he
of the Bulletin came down to the real business of
the movement and proposed that they pledge
themselves to vote against Leland. This split
the quill. There was rebellion in the camp, and
it is said that one delegate told them to Ego to
h-n with their ticket" Their next motion
would have been to pledge against Flickinger,
but the thing collapsed on Leland. When they
can't get all their candidates for delegates to
vote their ticket, the thing looks squally.
= One of Hayes pet schemes of "reconcilia- |
tion," !" has been the election of Southern DEM |
ocrat, who was favorable to his policy, to the |
speakership, in preference to Randall or any
other prominent Northern Democrat. His recent |
trip through the South was for the purpose of
this scheme. The selection of Ran |
dali BY the Democratic caucus, on the first bal. |
lot, by an overwhelming majority, shows how |
the Democracy appreciate his advances. Hayes |
has cut himself loose from his own party, in or |
der to court Democratic support, and the Demo-
,rats spurn the alliance.

No, but you sent hand to Bob Tracy, and /
tried to bsmboozle Hampson by feelers in your |
paper, and solicited person to make overtures

we're disposed to favor him, if he would but show
his badge of friendship, (bis wallet.) And you
