THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
Greenback Congressman Opposed to
Coalition With the Democrats.

Greenback Congressman Opposed to
Coalition With the Democrats.
NEW YORK, May ga Washington spec
ial to the Tribune says that from inquiry made
at the headquarters of the Greenbackers here,
and from conversation with prominent Green
back members of Congress, it is learned that
their entire Congressional delegation, with the
exception of Mr.. Ladd of Maine, are opposed
to a coalition in Ohio. Col. Crandall, Secre-
tary of the National Congressional Committee
and editor of the Greenback organ in this city,
is in constant communication with many
prominent Greenbackers in Ohio, and says
that advices received from all parts of the state
indicate decided and positive opposition to
any coalition with either the Democratic or
the Republican party in the coming campaign.
Many prominent Greenbackers here do lot
hesitate to say that Gen. Warmers purpose in
introducing this silver bill was merely to make
it factor for uniting the Democrats and Ma
tionals in Ohio, but that the Greenbackers of
Ohio are not to be caught with such chaff as
this silver bill. They say it was coalition
measure as originally introduced, and hum
bug, and SO desi gned as to confound and mix
all differences that divide the Greenbackers
from the hard-money Democrats They say
that unfortunately for Gen. Warner, his bill
has been so changed and mutilated that there
is nothing left of it to make coalition speech
on in Ohio, or in any other state. Col. Gram
dali comes out strongly in his paper in opposi-
ton to coalition, and says that nearly every
every Gaeenback paper in Ohio land there are
about 80 of them in that state) is also opposed
to it.
