POLITICAL MENTION.
TIE bondholders of Tennessee have
been informed that they must either take
fifty cents on the dollar or nothing. Re-
sumption is great credit-strengthener.
The Ohio Democrats have called their
State convention for the same time and
place, Columbus, June 4th, as the Green
back State convention. They will invite
the Greenback fly into the Democratic
parior. The invitation will be politely,
out firmly, declined.
TIE Cincinnati Commercial says
"The fact that the Wabash when it is high is
of the color of gold does not seem to effect or
reflect the public sentiment on its banks"
That the Wabash is on "a high" is al
ways evidence that spring has brought the
green back to its banks.
THERE is much speculation as to what
sections of the country will show the great
est growth and development IN the census
reports next year, and as to which are the
coming young cities Of the future. 1t is
conceded in Washington that the north.
west will Outstrip all other sections, and
shst the states of the union showing the
most rapid growth will be Kansas, Ne
braska, Minnesota, California and Colora.

Hon. WIN. d. KELLEY formally took his
place among the greenbackers on Tuesday
by casting his vote for Hendrick B.
Wright for speaker. To fellow member
who apparently expressed surprise at his
abandonment Of the republican ranks, his
only reply was Il significant gesture of the
hands and shrug of the shoulders, which
seemed to say: "Well, if you republi-
cans won't come my way, we've got to
part company"
The Scientific AntricM cannot be ac-
cused of being a grcenback journal, yet 1t
nunciates the following "greenback here
sy;" There is no dodging the inference
that paper currency is to be the money of
the future, not only in this country, but
abroad" No one, but fool, if he thinks
can dodge it. 1t has been demonstrated
over and over that the great financial wri-
ter of Engand Sir James lIarvey-spoke
the truth when lie said, "Gold is the mon
cy of ba'baris,n; paper money is the mon,
ey of civilization"
The Grecnbackers of Maine are wide
awake, Their camp.fres have been ba2-
ing 1ver since the last September victory,
and now are being kindlcd all over the
hills. The election of Murch over Eugene
Hale the chairman of the Republican ma.
tional executive committee. was severe
blow to the Money Power for which it is
to be avenged at any cost and at all haz-
ards. This, with the prestige of victory
for the following campaigns, will stlmu-
late the hard money enemy to put forth
lIercuIcan efforts to retrieve what he has
lost, and to assure trumphs in the future.
LET the names of the fourteen men in
congress who refused to support either ol
the hard money candidates of the old par
ties for speaker be honored by all who love
the republic, and honor brave men with
the courage to lead the way as pioneers in
the cause Humanity. Their names are
De La Matyr, of Indiana; Ford, of Mis-.
souri, Forsyth, of Illinois; Gillette, Of
Iowa; Jones, of Texas; Kelly, Of Pcnnsyl-
vania; Ladd, of Maine; Lowe, of Al
ALBANIA; Murch. of Maine; Russell, of
North Carolina; Stevenson, of Illinois;
Weaver, Of iowa; Yokum, of Pennsylya'

Organization is us necessary in polite;
as in the army. Every locality should
have its Greenback club. Every county
and state should have its central organiza
tion. When organized, the lclub should
report to the National Greenback execu
tive committee, Washington, D. c., tht
names and address OF their president and
secretary. The object of this is, that the
committee may be in communication
with every GreenbaGk man IN the country
through their organizations. No charter
is necessary, neither is any uniform order
of business or rules required. Let eacl
have such officers and adopt such rule
and regulations as it deems best; but al
should subscribe their names to the Ma
tional Grecnback principles, and pledge
themselves TO work and vote with thu
party so long as it adheres to those prin
ciples.
IT strikes us forcibly that Greenbacl
editorial convention to be held, say som
time in May or June, would not be out Q
order, and might be conducive of mucl
good. First, The good of the cause an
progress of the party demands we shoul,

against the subsidized press. Second, /
order to run this union we must ge
together and agree on platform of primo
pies, and march against the robbers an
despoiers of our government in a soil
column. Third, The interchange of view
and opinions, as to the best interest Of th
party, and of the publisher, is OF no sma'
consideration. Fourth, Devise plan b
which we can and will work to each other
advantage in business as well as in part
view. We say let us have n conventio
and form union of Greenback editor
and publishers. Who will second the me
tion?
The Other Side.
