Greenback Minstrel Performance.
We did intend to remain silent concerning
the grccnback meeting in the street, the other
evening" but the affair was so udicrous and
withal so disgraceful as to call for a word or
two Of comment. II was really a perform
ance of a Greenback Minstrel Troupe, given
on the balcony of the old Cushnoc House. As
the applause all came from the balcony, we
judge that the Ministries were well pleased
ith their own performance. The company
consists of four end men---Drs. Crooker and
Lancaster, bones, Staples and White, tambo-
rincists; X. W. Black, interlocuter, with
Randall and Ldrton. the musical tramps for
an orchestra. and Devine, Downing SWEET
and lngraham AS supes. 1t was most dis
gushing performance from beginning to end,
large number of greenbackers even con
demning it. One Alex. Troup attempted to
make speech. but it consisted chiefly in
abuse OF senator Blaine and the Kennebec
journal. There was no argument used, and
if any point it was directed to melting the
mechanics and labOring men to strikes. Ran
dali even went SO far as to compare Jesus
Christ 10 tramp. and said that if He should
attempt To go through the State of Connect
cut, he would be arrested and put in Jail.
Churches were condemned, as well as the
people who attended them. The fellows
would question each other in the true "Bones''
and ''Pompey" style, and once in a while put
in a scrccch, which they called singing.
As a greenbackcr rally the whole thing was
an utter failure, and was disgusting in the
extreme to all but those directly connected
with the troupe, but as an incentive to strikes
and mob law; il was a success. The show
was closed IN true minstrel style bv Offering
their song books for sale at the low price of
fifteen cents.
