There is only a little handful of
Greenbackers in the State, but the
amount of noise they make is in
proportion with their numbers.
They certainly are game and cheeky
as we'll, for they have the temerity
to claim that Capt. Put, Darden,
Master of the State Grange, was
travelling over the State as an
exponent of Greenback principles,
and that gentleman explains that
he is .died in the WOOL Democrat,
and not allowed to discuss politics
in the Grange.

free campaigns and free religion. They
will no more pay politicians than they
will preachers.

that it would he better to give a

A WORD TO
AS stated before in u columns,
the Republicans of this State have
decided upon an active canvass, and
the address of the Central Commit
tee begins as follows:
"At q meeting of the Republican
State Executive Committee, held in the
city of Jackson, Tuesday. July 10th, it
was decided to make an active CAM
paign in this State this fall"
BY this action the Republicans
have knocked from under the Green
hackers their strongest prop, and
the one upon which they mainly re-
lied. The party of Greenbackism
Is composed of off-shoots of Democ-
racy, and they cannot rely upon any
further accessions to their ranks
from that source, consequently they
have looked to the party of ''moral
ideas" for aid and comfort; but at
this early day, almost before the
inception Of the canvass, they are
confronted with the sad, overwhelm-
ing fact that the Republicans have
treated their overtures with disres-
pect, if not utter contempt, and are
determined to make an active can
yass. 1t is indeed surprisingly
strange that the men 1--WE speak of
this section principally who COM
pose the Greenback party, who are
among our best citizens, should be
led astray so far as to turn their
backs upon their past records, their
deeds of heroism, their superhuman
efforts to rid the State Of the incu-
bus of kadicalism, tyranny and OPP
preston, and seek an alliance with
such q party, or aid them in
any way. They certainly have
never looked at the matter in this
light, or they would at once eease tc
follow the ignis fatuus that has led
them from their old faith, and re
turn to the only party that can rem
der any good to the country. In
all sincerity we ask our Greenbacl
friends to pause and consider. YOU
have no earthly show of throwing
the Presidential election into Con
gress; you cannot elect a Congress
man in this State; you cannot con-
troll a single State in the Union
Then where is the sense, where thu
mastery sagacity of opposing YOU
Interests, and where the necessity o
keeping up an organization thai
will, and can, only aid and abet
Radicalism-a party whose past
record is dark and accursed O.
heaven. and whose future is uninvi
ting toa lover of free government
and universal liberty. You belong
to the Democracy. In that party
you first inherited patriotism and s
love of liberty, and under it's broaf
banner you have fought many 6
good fight, and in the name Of youl
country, in the name Of all that is
dear and holy, right-about face and
march with MS to victory and tC
lasting peace.
