The Greenback Convention.

The Greenback State Convention will he
held next Tuesday at Portland. The
leaders have been actively engaged in
drumming up delegates in order to
make a respectable show in numbers.
The wonder is. if times are as hard and
money as scarce as represented in the
greenback organs, where the cash is COM
ing from to pay the expenses of delegates.

spending time and money to ratity NOM

.'close corporation which controls the

nomination made in this State so complete

Smith has been and will be- 1t was fixed

with which he resisted it, has it not been
