Of these will give him cold support, yet
they will vote for him."
"How Is the Greenback movement"
1.-THE Greenback sentiment Is increasing
In Ohio. The more intelligent OF the
GreenbackeB are OF the opinion that
Ewing's election will advance their cause
more than the election Of PiAtt can do.
This element Is not In sympathy with

platform. This platform was inspired by
Brick Pomeroy, who Is q 'repudiationist,
and 1t Is also too extreme. The Ohio
Greenbackers are In iayorof preserving the
faith Of the Government. The financial
plank in the Democratic platform Is more
In accord with the previous declarations
OF the National party than the platform
upon which Piatt stands" - -

AT first they were dispirited and be
