controlled by the Greenbackers.
Thus the new party will have some.
thing to say about the state ticket
and the United States Senator. The
politicians in New Hampshire are as

state: They don't relish the thought
of finding the Greenbackers in COM
mand after election.
WAvERLY, Oct. 24.-Last evening
A. P. Lane, of Hennepin county made
a telling speech in favor of green
backs, the working classes and Igna-
titus Donnelly. Mr.. Lanes arguments
are clear and cannot fail to carry
conviction to all unbiased minds. He
thoroughly ventilated the Washburn
wheat ring, explored his pine land
and fixed permanently that title of
generalship to the gallant nominee of
the national banks. So it will be
handed down to posterity for time un-
told. The house was crowded and Mr..
Lanes remarks were listened to with
unusual attention. Even his bitterest
opponents admit that his whole heart
is in his work, and all went home sat-
isfed that the workingman has true
friend in A. p. Lahe.-t.lote.
W. D. Washburn received his nom.
ination dishonesty, and it elected
will be the tool of dishonest ring.
hence no Republican should feel
bound to support him because he is
on their ticket. He who opposes him
is the most consistent Republican, for
the definition of correct Republican
principles means-h0nesty in all
things.
AS true and consistent Republi-
can we cannot give our support tn
Mr.. Washburn, believing as we do
that instead of being the exponent of
true Republican principles he is moth
ing more or less than the candidate of

is fattening on the substance of the
people. elf this be treason make the

These old parties seem to think that
they hold a mortgage on their former
followers. They talk about the injury
that will result to them from the
Greenback movement. Why of course
the new party will injure them That
is what it is formed for. The Green
back leaders are not going around
saying that they are building up an
organization for the purpose of turn
ing it over on election day to the
Democratic or the Republican parties.
The object is to form a party separate
and distinct from the old ones, and
having better claims upon the public
than either. Voters are invited to
join it from conviction. and once in
they abandon all interest in the old
parties. 1t is simply ridiculous to ask
Greenbackers to stay their hands be.
