ly recommend the early passage OF the
House bill introduced last session to, ,estab.

The Greenbackers In the Legislature.


Senator Hereford made n speech in Put.
nam county last fall, in which he con.
tended that II the GrCCnback men could
only once properly understand themselves
there would be no ground OF difference
between them and Democrats. Wethought
at the time that there was n good deal in
this remark, and the speeches OF Col. Ben
Wilson and Col Bassell in this city tended
to confirm the impression. The presence
Of nearly the whole GrOenback element
in the Legislature at the Democratic caucus
in the House Of Delegates last night affords
still further proof that when man gets to
be GreenbaCker he naturally falls into
Democratic political associations lie
loses his personal identity, as it were, and
is drawn by the soft money magnet into u
congenial fold.
We do not say this by way Of making
any special criticism in regard to the
course pursued by the Greenback brcth.
ren, but rather to PROFOUND the old con.
undrum,
III 40 soon am done for
What was began lOT'
For instance, the people Of Kanawha
county took great pains to elect u Green
back delegation to the Legislature last fall
in opposition to Democratic delegation.
II was rather unaccountable that they
should do so, but as reason for their
course they gave out that great princi.
pie was at stake. They cOntcnded that
there was n marked difference between
a Greenbacker and a Democrat, and as
showing their keen appreciation OF the
difference they drew u sharp line at the
polls.
1t now seems as il the line was more I'M.
imaginary than real. Their Greenback
representatives do not know what to do
with their great principle when they get
10 the legislature. The first step of the
delegation has been to obliterate the line
drawn by their constituents. Instead of
standing up and making a sign before the
public that there was really some vitality
in the Greenback cause, they surrender
at the first fire to those whom they fought
and conqured at the polls.
This is certainly not the stuff that mar.
tyrs are made Of. 1t really looks us il spe-
Gle resumption had killed off Greenback.
ism in West Virginia when its representa-
tives thus fuse so readily with those whom
they thought worth while to antagonize at
the polls. Wctakc this to be, in effect,
confession that all thought OF party organ
izatiOn hereafter has been abandoned, and
that like Jonah's gourd, West Virginia
Greenbacksm has withercd and died out
beneath the golden rays of Shcrman's
shining dollars.
