tFron the Daily Leader, Grccnback.1
Among the distinguished visitors
present ut our State Convention from
abroad, we are glad to mako the &C
Gmintancc Off. Hendrix Mclean, OF
tcastcryillc, South Carolina. lilo
brings tho most encouraging news OF
the growth Of the Grccnback party i'm
the Southern States, and says that all
that is necessary is for the new party to
stand firm to principle, refuse to enter
into IL coalition with either of the old
PARTIES IN any quarter, and that it IS
bound to sweep the South in 1880.
.hc Grccnbackors of the South had
! been led TO fear that Il fusion would
take place in Ohio to-day between tue
Democracy and Nationals, and Mr..
Mclean came all the way from South
Carolina to throw in his mite against
any such suicidal course, as it would
materially injurc the party throughout
the entire county. lie was most hap
ply surprised on arriving here last
night and attending the Grcenback
love feast, that it was q false alarm,
and That no genuine Grccnbacker was
advocating fusion.
