The New Haven Union says:


Some men prominent in the Green
back movement seem to think that it
would be better to punish the Democrats
by keeping the Republicans in power, than
to win success for Greenback principles by
cooperating with such men as Ewing,
Voorhees,, Wash, Mclean, and Gordon to
bring the Democrats and Nationals togeth-
er: The masses are not to be trihed
with"
So long as the Greenback Democrats
cooperate" with Tilden, Bayard and
Belmont, there can be no union between
the Greenback party and the Greenback
Democracy. What assurance has The New
Haven Union that Voorhees,, Ewing and
The Cincinnati Enquirer will not support
Tilden next year, in the probable event
that he receives the Democratic nomina-
tion, just as they supported him in 1876?
We are anxious to see union in 1880 of
all men who hold to the one propo-
sition that all banks of issue shall be pre-
hibited, and that the general government
shall issue all the money; but it is foley

any Democrat who expects to support Til
cen, Or Bayard, or man of that class, If
nominated by the Democratic convention.
Sincere Greenback men do not care any
thing for party names or organ
izations. They do not care whether
the reforms they seek are brought
about by party calling itself Democrat
ir, or Greeenback Or National; but they
do cJle that the party with which they
ally themselves shall be true to the Green
back cause, and shall not give its lead.

Greenback idea. The signs of the times
point almost unerringly to the nomination
Of Iilden on hard money platform by
the Democratic party in 1880. If Voorhees,
and Ewing and the Enquirer bolt that
nomination, it will then be time TO talk of
union. The Greenback part will then be
found ready to go more than half way to
secure an alliance with the Greenback
Democracy. In the meantime it would be
well for Greenback men not to "give

Mrs. Senator Gordon on the Battle Field

From the Washington Letter.
Some people were speaking the other
day of the regularity with which Mrs.
Senator Gorden attends the sessions of the
Senate, and the keen interest with which
she watches the debates. One of the party
said that she is so devoted to her husband
that she always goes with him every.
where. During the war she took her two
little boys, one almost baby, and lived
with her husband in camp, following him
into battle, in fact sharing all the danger
with him. When he was so seriously
wounded, she had her ambulance driven
right into the battle field, and had him
pulled out from among the dead and
wounded and placed in the ambulance,
and she drove off with him. All of this
was done under a heavy fire, and the cover
of the ambulance was pierced with bullet
holes. Some one said to her; How could
you have the nerve to do it?' "Why,"
replied Mrs. Gordon, 81 did not think any
more of it than should of pulling one of
my boys out of the fire if he had fallen in.

the government for not taking more strict
precautions to insure the settlers protec-
ton. But we daily read of the depreda-
tons of that arch-fend, consumption,
with scarcely thought of the terrible in
roads it is making in human life. Tens
of thousands of homes are annually des-
olated by consumption to one by Indian
outrage. Like the Indian, consumption

is unprecedented until the victim suddenly

wooing back our youthful energies.
