The Greenback Convention.

The greenback show attending the re-
nomination of Joseph L. Smith of Old
town as candidate for Governor took
place yesterday at Portland, though the
performance was somewhat interfered with
by the rainy weather. Solon Chase and his
steers did not appear to advantage in the
mud and rain. while the music of the six
brass bands under the generous showers
from the clouds above was not attractive or
inspiring. Besides the timely rain was sug-
gestive of good crops, full barns and eel
lars, and what could be worse than this
for party whose fortunes are best when
the crops and times are worst? A dis
tressing drought would help the prospects
of the greenbackers, but a blessed rain
that makes the country at large smile is
no blessing to the grcenbackers.
To intelligent men who realize the dan
ger impending over the country by the re-
turn of the men to power in Congress who
fought four years to destroy the Union, how
weak and trivial do such performances as
that at Portland yesterday appear. The
same signs of danger, of national trouble,
which preceded the opening of the rebel
lion in 1861 are witnessed now.
The spirit of the South is the
same the determination of the leaders
TO gain by the ballot what they lost by the
bullet is openly avowed. Anew rebellion
is threatened; Confederate Brigadier,
have already attempted to coerce the Pres
ident and strip him of his constitutional
power under the threat of starving the
government to death if he resisted. The
North must resist now or lose all that was
gained by the suppression of the rebellion
We must have solid North to meet tho
solid South that conironts us.
And yet in this time of great nationa
peril, when it would seem that all wht
have common sense and a common love O

Stalwart Speech by General Gar
field

The speech made by General t'arlield
at Cincinnati on the evening of the day
upon which the State convention
was held was one of the best
of the many excellent speeches of
the gifted orator. We reproduce
so much of it in our columns rs we have
space for at the present time His decla-
tons concerning the failure of the policy
of Cancellation and the union of republi-
cans upon stalwart ground are manifcstly
true, and his remarks in favor of solid
North to oppose solid South mark en-
phaticallv the duty of the hour.
FAILURE OF THE Policy OF CANCELLATIONS.
When the War was over, and when recon
struction was completed. there were a large
hearted, generous, magnanimous optimists in
the republican party who believed we ought
to do great acts of Cancellation toward the
South, which they believed would be met by
like spirit. The Greeley movement origi-
mated in that spirit, and carried off from the
republican party many of the noblest and
most charitable adherents, and a great many
good, honest earnest republicans who stayed
by the party and did not go of with the Gree
ley movement said If you will go to the
South in the full spirit of brotherly love and
Kindness and cancellation, you will win their
hearts. There were many of the best and no.
blest men in the republican party who so be-
leved. Well the republican party had to
deal with that element. 1t either had to
overcome it or "try the experiment" The
man we elected two years ago from this great
State of Ohio for the chiefcst place in the
Nationals true a republican as ever lived
lapplause1 was at the same time a great OPP
timist. He determined to try the doctrine of
Cancellation. He went to the South with
olive branches in both hands. He went far
ther, far beyond what many of us thought he
ought to go. He rendered them in all brother
ly kindness and charity and it made many of
our people sad, because they believed he was
making mistake. One of those who be-
lieved with him at that time is the man YOU
have to-day made your standard bearer in the
coming campaign in Ohio. GApplausel A
year ago he became fully aware that that pol
icy was not bearing its fruits in brotherly
love in return and he declared as much in
campaign speech.
We have seen what returns have been
brought to us from this policy of Cancellation 4:
and now there is not an optmist in all our
party. Applause. There is not senti-
mantalist in all this land belonging to the re-
publican party who does not now see that
we have tried it fully and faithfully, and
they have been unworthy of the tender. And
we have now got back to the old camping
ground of the republican party, and to-day,
throughout the breadth of the land, we are
one. You can make no class of stalwarts.
for we are all stalwarts. Applause. Since
1868 you have never seen this party united as
