The Burlington Ilawkeye is wise as
we'll as witty. 1t points with pride %
1.-THE glorious fight for honest money" now
being made by the Republican journals
of Iowa. 1t declares that no State in the
Union can show an ADLER discussion of
currency questions on the right side. The
sound thinkers are pouring steady tire
of retutation and argument into the ranks
of the dcmOralized GrccnbackerS, and the
latter are already beginning to lose inter
est in the contest The lIaWkeye culls
from its exchanges a few examples Of the
prompt demolition which awaits paper
fabrication as soon as it has taken shape,
and declares that these are only samples
of what the press is doing in Iowa. The
fuslade goes on the fire is well nouriSh-
ed and the Greenbackers are popped over
at every shot. 1t states that Iowa will
declare for "sound money, a revival Of
commerce, and increased expectation of
her products and an inflow Of people and
of real wealth. 1t adds that there is no
room to doubt the result Of the contest.
"Sound principles will triumph" and the
result will be due, in no small degree, to
the magnificent fight now being made by
the weekly press of Iowa. To which the
Boston Herald responds
This is good news from the West The paper
delusion is but a bubble. 1t has no possibility Of
permanence Its shameful collapse is only ques
tion Of time and not of very long time either

Ben Butler was at Biddeford last week,
and gave the Greenbackers some advice.
He said d-"You must carry the legislature
and the state, and you must combine with
the Democrats. You must bring the Dem
ocrats in" That, then, is the programme.
The Democrats are invited to get into bed
with Ben Butler. How do they relish it

to pre- arranged plan the Convention was captured
by the Greenback element, although the result was
reached by ballot. 1t is virtually an endorsement
of the Greenback Convention of Saturday.

The Greenback County Convention.

A pleasant August morning greeted the
assembly of the Greenback Convention
in this city on Saturday. 1t is said that
"a new broom sweeps clean,' and it was
evident that the first meeting under the
new organization was to be no exception
to the proverb. The delegations were not
only full, but there was an outside at
tendance that bespoke labor and care in
drumming up its attendance. There had
evidently been careful preparation to give
the party a good send off, and thereby
create a favorable opinion Of its strength
And it was surprising to note how reck
lessly and lavishly financial knowledge
was flung abroad by sidewalk orators.
Wisdom literally cried aloud in the streets
to gaping and perspring crowds, and
men hitherto not accounted Of special in
teligence proclaimed themselves as dis
coverers of secrets that lay at the foun-
dation OF human prosperity, and that the
wisdom of all philosophers, living and
dead, was as naught to that with which
they were overtiowing.
Elsewhere viii tie found the record Of
the days proceedings, IN many respects
they were very remarkable. The Con
vention endorsed the Greenback State
resolutions, one of which declares for the
nomination OF new men, and against old
politicians. They then proceeded to put
in nomination for Senators two Of the
most persistent office seekers that ever
pulled party wires, and for the office Of
sheriff candidate who can cNclalm, IN
the words Of the hymn

Mr. Roberts is the badly defeated Demo

Mr. Randall Ellis has hung on the verge
of parties and been "herc little, and

contradictions are explained by nomna-
| tion~ to Office
1t was noticed that Mcclellan, who is
accustomed to boast that II am Waldo
County" stationed himself in the rear ot
| the Convention, with telegraph wires rum
ming to Roberts, and few others, by
which to direct the movements And the
| DAYS proceedings were rounded of by
| the endorsement Of Murch, as candidate
! for Congress a man So unsuitable for
office, from his affiliations, communjstic
| tendencies and lack of qualifications, that
he was at once repullated by the Age,

who had been repudiated by the Age, as
a dangerous agitator and unfit for a can
