GREENBACK ALLIANCES.

The popularity of West Virgin
ia politics most puzzling to the po-
litical philosopher is the attitude of
hostility which exists and is fostered
by the Greenbackers of the State
against the Democratic party.
While in other States these two
elements in politics have easily be-
come allies as against the Republi-
cans, in West Virginia the Green
hackers are seeking an alliance
against the Democrats, which would
if it could, give the Republicans as
tendency.
In the Maine campaign the Demo
Gratis almost abandoned their organi-
cation to help the Greenbackers de-
feat the Republican candidate for
Governor. In Ohio the Greenbackers
are joining the Democrats to the
same end. So in Congress there
was fusion between Democrats and
Greenbackers on all occasions when
it was a choice between Democratic
and Republican supremacy.
1t is only in West Virginia that
this unnatural alliance. with Republi-
cans is sought or contemplated by
the Greenbackers. We say, unnat-
ural alliance, because the two par
ties represent the antipodes Of the
political issues of the day. There
is no natural affinity between them.
Moreover, an alliance between the
Republicans and Greenbackers in
West Virginia, if it means anything
and could effect anything, would re-
suit in a Republican and not in a
Greenback triumph. The RepubIi-
can party, as the stronger of the two,
both in numbers, organization and
prestige, would dictate the terms of
the alliance and in the end carry off
all the spoils that were worth an in
ventory.
The alliance would be still more
unnatural in view of the fact that all
the reforms that the Greenbackers
profess to be seeking as part of the
policy of the State have the fullest en-
dorsement and most active support Of
the Democratic party. If these re-
forms are to be accomplished at all
they have the best and only chance
within the pale of the Democratic
party.
The young men of the State who
will cast their votes for President
next year have been reared in Demo
cratic families and taught to revere
the good, old Democratic principles
Of their fathers, and they will tak'
pride in saying that the first vote wal
] for Democrat. They will not only

for two decades, and has been called
the corner stone Ct the Republican
column. This year it is anti-Repub-
lican on the popular vote, notwith-
standing that party prosecuted a more
vigorous campaign than ever before,
had larger number of Republican
speakers to assist them and men of
bigger speaking calibre, and bought
up single votes at as high as $4,000
the head
Such consolation, touching 1880, as
the Republicans can get out of these
facts, they are fully welcome to-

To the Honorable Senate and House
of Representa- tives, IN Congress,
assembled:
The following petition is published
at the request of several soldiers and
is addressed to the hard money Re-
publicans who think is was honest to
pay the soldiers in deprecated cur
rency, yet want gold in payment for
their bonds:
We, the undersigned petitioners,
having served faithfully the govern
ment of the United States in the late
war of the rebellion, as will be seen
by our records in the War and Navy
Department, ask to lay before your
honorable body, statement of our
grievances and to petition for relief.
LIST. We would remind your honor
able body that we were paid in de-
preciated currency, worth during the
greater part of our terms of service
from forty to seventy five cents on the
dollar in coin.
I'd. The government has since de-
clared that the payment of the bond
holders in the same money that the
soldiers were paid in would be dis
honesty and reputation.
3rd. We do not believe that the
bondholders have claim either in
law or equity better than the men
who offered their lives that the ma
ton might live.
Therefore we believe that the gov
eminent is honestly and justly in
debted to the soldiers for the differ
ence between the value of greenbacks
and gold at the time of payment,
with six per cent. interest compound
ed semi annually, and that Congress
should provide for the payment Of
such sums as may be found due to
each soldier, sailor or marine, or
their lawful heirs, with interest as
above, in full legal tender green
back, not to be fundable into bonds
of any rate or class.
Therefore, we, the undersigned
soldiers and sailors, do respectfully
petition your honorable body to pass
law covering the above points at
once, and thus give immediate and
direct relief to one million of the
defenders of our government in its
hour of trial and danger, and indi-
rectly to forty millions of American
citizens by reason of the impetus
given to all industrial pursuits
For this act of justice and relief to
all the people we shall ever pray.

1t has become quite favorite meth
cd of casting ridicule upon Democrats
to say they are whiskey drinkers. Now
the facts are that the majority of men
who make whiskey and sell it, and the
large majority of saloon keepers and the
men who patronize them, are Republi>
cans. The majority of those in the Pen,
itentiary and Workhouse are Republi-
cans, and the majority of those guilty
ty of bribery in the Legislature are Re
publicans; yet it does not follow that
the Republican party must be held res
sponsible for individual crimes any more
than the Democratic party; but il
comparisons are insisted upon we are
ready.-Pittsburgh Post.

In 1876 the Republicans of Maine
cast rs, 1857 votes and the opposition
60,856 in total vote of 136,S23. At
the election on Monday the Republi-
cans cast only about $4,000 and the
opposition about II 900 in a total poll
of 100000, the largest ever given in
the State. The Republicans, there
fore, have lost nearly 1000 votes since
1876, while the combined opposition
has gained 10000 since then.
In 1876 Maine gave Hayes a clear
majority of 1914, which was the low
est majority cast in that State for a Re-
publican ticket for 16 years. The 9th
er day the Republicans failed of ma,
jority. This is the way in which the
State was redeemed by the Republi.
cans.

swell the ranks of the party in the
State, but will give new yigor and vi
tality to the measures already inaug-
urated by the party for advancing the
prosperity Of the State and develop
ing its resources.
The Democratic party is and al
ways has been party of progress
a party constituted of the young aDd
enterprisiDg elements of the popula-
ton as against old fogyism and the
monied aristrocy of the nation. 1t is
the party nearest the people; the
friend of the laboring man; the adj
vocate of those men and measures
which favor the MASSES.
We believe the Democratic party
is fully alive to the Importance of
the reforms in our State polity that
have been and are being agitated
among the people of the State, some
of which the Greenbackers have
championed. If the reforms are car
ried out it will and can only be done
through the agency of the Democrat
ic party, where they originated. If
the Greenbackcrs are sincere in de-
string them they will join with their
friends in promoting and not with
their enemies in endeavoring to de-
feat them. If it is only question
of spoils, we advise the Greenbackers
and all "entagling alliances" that, in
the language of prominent Repub-
lican, "West Virginia is hopelessly
Democratic. y Wheeling Register.

The Elections This Year.

If the elections this year are to be
accepted as auguries for next year, COM
PARSONS cannot fairly be made except
with the figures of the last Presidential
election.
There have been elections thus far
in 1879 in several States, among the
most important of them being the fol-
lowing:
Local elections in Illinois, wherein
the Democrats carried Cook county, in
which Chicago is located, for the first
time in many years.
Local elections in Rhode Island,
which resulted in large Democratic
gains.
Local elections in Delaware, in which
the Democrats carried Wilmington,
a Republican city for many years.
A State election in Kentucky, in
which the Democratic ticket was sue
cessful by an increased majority.
A State election in California, in
which,. through the Intervention Of
Kearneyism, fellow named Perkins
a tool of the Central Pacific Railroad
Ring and candidate on the Republican
ticket, was made Governor by small
plurality, the majority against him
though divided between two candi
dates, being many thousands. Ii
1875 the Republicans carried the STATE
by clear majority of nearly 5000
over all.

larger vote out,than was ever cast a
any previous election, in which tn
