WASHINGTON, March 21.-OhiO Democrats now
in Washington are becoming very anxious
over the uufricndly attitude Of the Green
back men toward the Democratic party. The
Nationals are dcuouncing General Ewing and all
other Democrats Of the last Congress. who, having
proclaimed strong Grecnback views when they were
candidate for reflection and having thus secured
the votes of many Nationals, wholly deserted the
Grcenbackcrs in the organization of the
House of Representatives. The Democrats from
Ohio admit privately that the Greenback
vote in the last election came so largely from their
party that unless they can now propIiatC the Ma
tonals they will probably lose the state at the next
election SO serious has this matter become, that
meeting of the two Senators from ONO with
the Democratic members Of the House from
the same State was held yesterday, to consider
what was best to he done. After discussion it was
agreed that it would be the wiscst to delay fixing
time for the Democratic convention until all
branches of the Greenback party had arranged
their plans and cal led their convention. After this
has been done it agreed that the best
thing the Democrats could then do would be TO call
their convention to meet the day and at the
same place and to bring to bear the whole ma
chinery of the Democratic party TO capture the
Grcenback leaders ard their convention.
