The Administration at Work.

From all indications the organization of
the next congress win be holly contested
by the administration. Of course Hayes
wants to secure the organization, and this
fact may explain the motives Of his pres
ent policy. That he looks to the south to
accomplish his purpose we can well be-
lieve, if any credit can be placed in the
New York Sans Washington dispatch,
which says, ''the President has sent con-
fidential friend to various newspaper off.

distinct recollection of all the contents Of

Ohio Greenbackers.

Thirty politicians, of no very great
notoriety, political or otherwise, assembled
at Columbus, Ohio, on the 9th inst. to
hold a state convention. They called
themselves greenbackers, but, IS is seen
from the platform adopted, they are hardly
entitled to the name. They nominated a
ticket which will possibly get thirty votes
and then we shall hear no more of the
party, if such it may be called:
The platform adopted declares that.
throughout the entire country, labor, that
creator of al wealth, is either unemployed
or denied its just reward, and all indus
tries are paralyzed, and that this has been
brought about by class legislation and mis-
management of the national finances, and
that, as neither the Republican nor Dem
ocratic party propose any plan of relief, the
convention deems it wise to Teaffirm the
principles of the National Independent
party which supported Cooper and Carey.
The resolutions demand the uncondi-
tional repeal of the specie-resumption act
of Jan. ID, 1875, and the arrest of the
present plan Of Capitalization; declare that
it is the prerogative of the federal govern
ment only to supply currency, and that all
moneys, whether paper or metal, should
be issued by and bear the stamp of the
government; declare that paper money
issued by the government, made receiva-
bic for all its dues, and a legal tender IN
the payment of all debts, and convertible
into bonds bearing an equable rate of inter
est, will afford the best neutrality-suspicious.
ever discovered; declare in favor of abol-
ishing all banks of issue; favor the remon-

it legal tender for the payment of all
coin bonds, but oppose the issue of bonds
for the purchase of silver bullion for
coinage; favor the taxation of United
States bonds, re-enactment of the law
taxing incomes, and declare it to be the
duty Of the government to foster and en-.
courage the development Of the resources
Of the country, that labor may be fully anC

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN
PENNSYLVANIA.
How Hayesism.. Does Not Agree With
it Very Well.
From The Philadelphia Tunes

Four county conventions Of the party
have been held in the four Republican
strongholds of the state-Philadelph
Lancaster, Allegheny, and Bradford
which gave an aggregate majority OF 36,-
500 for Hayes, more than double the
majority in the state.
The Republican convention Of Phila-
delphia tabled g resolution, drawn in the
mildest form, expressing confidence IN
the president, and its consideration pro-
voked the harshest and most contempt
uous epithets against him.
Lancaster, that gave nearly 1000
majority for Hayes, has had no represen-
tative convention; but che judges of the
party footed up the vote of candidates,
and separated without so much as a
notice of their Republican president.
Allegheny, that gave Hayes nearly ten
thousand majority, held full represen-
tative convention, a few days ago, and
twice deliberately tabled "a resolution APP
proving of the administration-the last
time ten only daring to vote for it. Sena-
tor Cameron had been in the county q
week or ten days before, and the men
who shared most in his councils, and
knew most of his wishes, yelled the
loudest in crying down the Hayes resolu.

president lost, an approving vote. The
state convention has been postponed tC
the latest day to escape immediate re-
sponsibility, and then the president vii
be squarely or tacitly reproached, or be
disposed of by significant silence, or stab
bed by qualified praise. The ticket vii
be presented, and the party told to cleo
or defeat it, no matter which. As par
ties stand to. day, the whole Republican
majority in the state, last fall. would D.

the other counties might be anything from
thirty to fifty thousand.
