An Old Democrat Who Won't be Sold
Out to the Greenbackers.
We might give publicity to a great many in
stances in which men hitherto Democrats,
have avowed their disgust at being sold out to
the Greenback fusion by Democratic schemers
for office, but for the shrinking which many
men feel from having their names made public
and commented upon. We do not intend to
publish the names of such without their con-
sent first obtained. We have just received the
foil owing letter from well known Democrat
at South China, who consents to its publlca-
ton

express my earnest appreciation OF your course.

to the Greenbackers, but they can't sell me. |

Mr.. Percival is we'll known i'll this city,
where he has executed many contracts in the
line of business as contractor and builder, and
whore he has a first rate reputation. he has
been for years subscriber to the Journal. We
hear from sources entitled to implicit credit
that this feeling is rapidly spreading in that
vicin ity, and that the number OF Democrats
who will assent to the Greenback sell out is
daily diminishing.
The number of Democrats i'll Belfast and
vicinity who revolt from the Greenback sell
out is very large, and growing larger. We
shall probably by and by publish list OF some
of the prominent Democrats of this class, to
show our friends in other locations the folly
and falsehood of Greenback boastings. The
tide is running strongly against those who
hope to profit in fat offices by the proposed sell

Speech.

montgomery StAnuaru (CreenDACk).
Wednesday night Mr.. NJ. Y. Duncan
of Mexico, spoke at Library Hall in
this place in advocacy of the Green
back principles, to a good sized audi
ence. He took up several of the prin-
cipal points in controversy between
the political parties and economists
on the money question and discussed
them with close discriminating analy-
sis and, from his point Of view, con-
sistent logic.
All in all, his was one of the mild
est and most conservative Greenback
speeches we have heard; too mild
and conservative for the Greenbackers
down here, and, judging from the
remarks of Messrs. Sims, Haley and
Finley of Audrain on some of the
questions discussed in the convention,
too mild and conservative for the
brethren of his own county. Mr..
Duncan will have to experience a
deeper conversion to suit the Green
hackers, or else he must put forth ex-
ira efforts to tone do M their radical
ism. The fact is the Greenbackers
r too radical, and elaborate and
p~articularize too much about money
and a few other points in their plat
form to ever elect a congress.
Doubtless Mr.. Duncan knows this,
and would tone them down and cpl
tomize their platform, but he cannot
do it. He knows that red hot wrath,
and the extremist of principles enun-
ciated in a platform can never draw
four or five millions of Americans,
enough to elect a congress and presi-
dent, to the Greenback party but he
will not be able to convince his breth-
rem of his oyyn wisdom in that regard.
