The presidential Contest Of 1850.
The Greenbaek party, according TO htr.
Walter H. shupe, editor Of the AdNoeats, Is
well pleased with the conduct OF both
Republicans and Democrats at the state
conventions last week.
"conkling and Kelly said Mr.. shupe
this morning / a representative OF the
Er.ning Pos, "are now united. Tammany
Hall will do all it can to help the Rep
ublieanst 10 send Mr.. COnkling back to the
Senate. The bargain has often been
predietedzIt-ls consummated At last
Kelly and Coukling have Joined their
forces on a hard.mopey, basis. Their OPP
ponents are the paper men in each party,
united under the name Of Nationals.
There is no third party in the state. There
is to-day but one issue before New York
voters, namely. hard money and paper
money. Let 1t be so. We are ready"
"And what Of the city?n
1.-THE Nationals are willing to unite with
the Anti. Tammany men in order to defeat
Tammany, ifthe nti.TGmmany candidate
il not a pronounced hard.money man.
For example, We should be glad to vote
for Ifr. Edward Cooper for Mayor"
"Por the old mans sake??'
Mr.. Shupe smiled.
AYou see," he resumed, "that some
capitalists IRE not distasteful to us. CAPT.
talists who invest their money in business
enterprises like Mr.. Cooper, for instance
in the manufacture Of glue-mnst sym.
pathi1e with US, because they can't get
their investments back again until their
creditors get the money 20 pay them.
Look AT Peter Herdic, the Wtlhamsport
Zimmerman, who has Just failed. He was
| worth millions, but his creditors who owed
him for lumber couldn't pay their bills.
But capitalists who are bankers, whose
business Il il to lend money, are our
natural enemies. We will make money
80 plenty that nobody viii 90 70 them
for a loan"
"Does tie Greenback party really want
Benjamin F. Butler to be its Presidential
IcandidateF"
"Well, it may be compelled to take
him" e. I'D
but does it want himY ar
II will tell you frankly" lin a lower tone,
and with an air OF secrecy, 1T doesn't.
What it does want is 70 elect him Cover
nor, and then United States Senator,
in order TO chastise the Hoar clique.
Wouldn't that be fine for the Bay State
respectables-Ben. Butler, Senator from
Massachusetts,? But We want him to stop
there" -r#
Evil he stop there2 Suppose that you
have q Presidential candidate Of your own,
and that Butler should determine to run"
"Elewould make mischief, undoubtedly.
He Is like u shark" here Mr.. Shupe shut
his two Jaws quickly and bent his head
forward, as Il swapping at something. "He
has come in and snapped UP the NOM
ination while other men were hesitating
to do the same thing"
"And does the Greenback party expect
an accession Of leaders from the present
parties?" /
It is receiving offers Of the services OF
these leaders every day. So many OF
them.are willing 10 come over II We will
only run them for Office. For the most
part they have no principles. They are
after the spoils. The few whom we ad-
mire are either toe timid, like Thurman,
Tom Ewing, and Hendricks, or too rash,
like George II. Pendleton. The latter
would get Us into all sorts Of trouble; the
former would not he equal to the emerge
ncy. We are positively afraid lest the
party may pass into the hands OF the tim
ID Ewing and Thurman"
"Who, then, will carry your standard
in lSS02"
"some State Governor, l think, who
shall be elected on our ticket next year,
and shall make a bold stroke that will
bring him into notice. New e young
men, are coming to the front. In Maine
we have already wiped Blaine OUT In
Massachusetts, we will wipe Hoar out; and
in Pennsylvania we will wipe Cameron
out. These three states gained, things will
work smoothly. We shall gain those
states."
as Kearney q tavoite in the party"
"By no means. We do not endorse
him, We recognise and deplore the con-
dition of affairs that has produced such n
man, and consequently we don't blame
Koarneyfo being whathe is. He feels az
yrieved, and his grievances are real. But
he does not represent Us, Why, q few
DAYS Q when we were nominating The
Allen, man BY the name Of Kane deliver
ed A noisy speech in which he spoke OF his
having labored all day, and Of his hands
being as horny as the hub OF HE'LL I'm
mediateIy there was q connection during
which somebody cried out, shut your
mouth; we don't want any Rearneyism
here Keaney, you see does not repres-
ent tho party.
J ~. present" replied NJ. shurs, ."the
party Is in the yelling stage. Our idea Is
10 let every man have his say. That will
produce agitation, and agitation Is what
We want. II Is too soon yet to discipline
the rank and file. Byand BY We viii have

eress. We want to get the people awake,
and, for this purpose We encourage vel.
