A REPUBLICAN friend said to us the
other day, Why do you not stir up the
Democratic aspirants for county Offices,
by suggestions of one sort or another
and predictions of the defeat of this one
and gibes at that one, and thus if posi-
BILE promote jealousy and contention in
the ranks of the enemy, after the fash
ion of your neighbor across the way?"
Our reply was-and it will serve as an
explanation to all who may wonder why
we do not copy the tactics of our cotem-
pory the-that, in the first place we could
find no principle Of journalistic or other
decency that would justify us interfer-
ing with that which is not our business.
Who shall, Or who shall not be the can
didates of the Democratic party con-
Germs that party alone. We, as Re-
publican newspaper, have nothing to do
with them until their nominations are
made and before the people, and any in
reference on our part in the internal
concerns of the Democracy would
be only less impertinent than inter-
ference in the family concerns of
the candidates. If it is urged that
this course would keep the OPP
position in ferment, we reply that an
ambition to make mischief for mischief's
sake is very pitiful ambition. The
second reason why we do not engage in
this style of work is that it does not
pay. No possible result can come of it
except to show the impertinence and
lack Of brains of him who engages in it.

The GREENBAckERs-There is nr

The GREENBACKERs-T is no
sort Of doubt that portion, at least, of
the Democratic leaders in this county,
desire, and intend, if such thing is
possible, to absorb the Greenbaek party
for the purpose Of using them in the
local campaign. This purpose is mani
fest as well in the sycophantic attitude
OF their newspaper organ toward the
Greenbackers, as in the scheming of
the prospective Democratic candidates.
If the Greenbackers ALLOW themselves
to be cajoled into any such alliance,
they will be false to the principles they
profess, and only weaken their cause.
They ought to know if they do not that
the Democratic State Convention which
meets at Marshalltown, ON the 10Th inst,
will not listen to any proposition, to en-
dorse or accept the nominations for
State officers, already made by the
Greenback party. But they are willing
and anxious to enter into such coali-
tons in the counties, to the end that
they may absorb portion at least, of
the fat Offices with their perquisites and
patronage. The question for the Green
hackers to determine, is whether they
can afford an alliance of this kind;
whether at the outset, they are thus
willing to acknowledge that their organ
ization is merely set up for the purpose
of traffic. If they are really in earnest,
and loyal to the idea upon which their
party is founded, they will show it by
standing squarely upon their own foun-
dation, making no overtures and accept
ing none for cooperation with outside
and selfish parties. The BULLETIN has
no sympathy with the distinctive tenets
of the Greenback party, but it would
like TO see all parties occupy a square
and honorable position before the peo-
pie.
