The Greenbackers in Congress have
made formal proposition to the republi-
can and democratic members-elect of the
House, the substance of which is as fol-
lows:
We propose to cooperate with you by elect
ing as Speaker either Cox of n. Y, Phelps
Of Conn, Kelley or Wright of Pa, Ewing of
Ohio, Fort of H., FELTON, of Ga, Bright or
Young Of Tenn, each of whom by their pub
lie record on the financial question has Sc
cured the confidence of our constituents: or
any other member of the House, of experi
ence, competent to conduct its business, who
by his previous adherence to our principles has
shown that in their behalf he can rise above
former political afiiliation. We tender this
proposition to protested currency reformers
in the name of more than a million voters we
have the honor to represent, and in behalf OF
other voters who voted for many of YOU be-
cause OF your advocacy of our principles.
This manifesto will not probably be
very much regarded. As the greenback
ers are said to have not more than seven
votes in the House which they can depend
upon. an early start was quite necessary
II they would gain the Speakership. Their
magnanimity towards the other parties is
oyerpowering.

Republican Gains in New York

The republicans have every reason to
be we'll satisfied with the results of the
town meetings so far held in the several
counties of the State, says the Albany
Journal. Our aggregate gain of Super
visors is As, while the losses are %, thus
giving the republicans 26 more members
in the Boards already chosen than they
had last year; or taking the comparison
80 as to contrast republican increase with
democratic loss, our net gains cover twice
these figures, or fifty-two. Among the
counties which have made notable repub-
lican gains are Allegany, Z; Ulster, );
Schoharie, s. Oneida, 5, and Tioga, 8.
Outside of Chemung there are but few To-
calities where the greenbackers have held
their own. In many towns the republi-
cans have more than regained their vote
Of former years, and generally show COM
pact and efficient organizations. The
charter elections in our cities and villages
also indicate republican activity and alert
ness. In quite number of instances
they have made very handsome gains
which promise well for the future In
cases where slight reverses have been met
they can all be accounted for on special
local grounds. In no instance is there anv
indication that the republican columns are
not firm, compact, determined and ready
for the battles of the year. Whatever
augury the spring elections may have is so
far decidedly on the side of the republi-
cans.
