GREENBACKS.

When we speak of greenbacks in
connection with the Democratic par
ty, we don't mean that.w want the
Democratic party to be altail to the
greenback kite or vice versa Nor,
do we want to weaken our party in
advocating this principle. What we
want is to have a greelbaek planklin
our platform and have greenback
Democrats to represent our party I'M
power. There is nothing in this
plank that would keep it from fitting,
and that excellently at this time in
our platform, but it is all folly and
suicidal to talk pr q third party. Be
it gteenback, or any other kind, at
least that Is the way we look at it, at

with her widowed mother, the only
living member of. the family beside

and loving letters from his sweetheart
cheered the. gallant soldier. and ten.
der words of hope from him made
life enaurable to her. After the bat
tie OF. Charlottesville his letters spd-
denly ceased. Letter. after letter
was written to him and his! comrades,
