The Cincinnati Enquirer is the abies
greenback paper in the United States.
The first to commit itself wholly to the
ground it has ever since occupied the
most painstaking in its researches oil
p~recedents and historical facts to sus-
tain its opinions. it has furnished am
munitiGn to a thousand orators. and been
the leader of the greenback press. What
1t here says applies equally as well to
Missouri as to Indiana: There is no
more necessity for 4 grcenback or ma
tional party In Indiana. separate from
the democratic party. than there ID for
hoop skirt on a Hottentot. The demo
cratic party is a greenback party. Its
platform is g%reenback. Its aims ant
objects are almost Identical with those o
the national party. 1t is ondeayorlns
to reach the same end. To the average
mind 1t seems as if those who are engin'
ecring the national movement are sacrl
