Are Democrats and Greenbackers Identical
\ few weeks ago we alluded to the fact
that the democracy Of New York had re-
solved for hard money, as had also Mas
sachusetts, and that Senator Bavard had
made powerful speech in advocacy of
like views. This article we headed "Dem-
ocratS that are not Greenbackers 1t
suited the purposes Of the Portland Argus
to quote this heading, emitting the word
"that." and to make this disionted quo
ticing the sentiments expressed by our
contemporary, we did not allude to this
transformation but it does seem queer to
see that paper now accusing the Journal
Of quoting il unfairly, especially as that
mutilatcd sentence of four words consti-
tutes the only quotation that the Argus
makes from the journal in the course of
column and a half of comment The
economical space to which the Argus con
fines its contemporaries is quite as remark
able as the diluted profusion by which it
waters its own expressions. Now here is

The definition Of the term Greenback-
er, as given by the Argus is not correct
The first Greenback National Convention
met at indianapolis, in l@76 1t is called
a .'Grecnback Convention" by as GOOD
authority as Appleton's Annual Cyclope-
