Republican meeting, called to ratify the

THE GREENBACK CoNGLoMERATIoN.
CHICAGO, June 17th-The Greenbackers
held meeting tonight for the purpose Of
consolidating the various Greenback and La
hor parties into an organization to support
Weaver and Chambers. The Socialists were
represented in the meeting, but when it ap-
peared that the platform OF the Greenback-
Labor Convention, to which all present were
invited to subscribe their names, did not con-
tain the "earth, air and water resolution, ;"
the Socialists notified the Greenbackers that
it would be considered bad faith if that reso
luton were not incorporated in the platform,
and that their party would sever its alli-
ance with the Greenback party and nominate
its own candidate for President. The Social
lists have polled Il, ,000 votes in Chicago, and
claim 100, eco in the country. Their disaffec-
ton from the Greenbaclers would greatly
reduce the Greenback vote in November.
THE ATTACKS ON GARFIELD-wHAT FoRNEY
THINKS ABOUT THEM.
CHICAGO, June 20th.-The Inter, Oceans
Washington special says: Forney's Sunday
Chronicle says to-day, in regard to the Presi
Dental canvass: The Republican news
papers, as well as Republican speakers, viii
make great mistake during the coming
campaign if they join in the mud flinging in
aEgurated by the Democracy. The scandals
dug up against General Garfield require no
refutation, and for his friends to undertake it
would only give them the color of truth and
respectability which they now so lamentably
lack. From the moment these scandals
originated General Garfield has grown in
popular favor among his own people. The
great State Of Ohio, instead of Questioning
his integrity or in the least doubling his
ability and capacity to serve its interests, has
enlarged its confidence byenlarging his sphere
of usefulness. There is no trper test Of
public bman's character than the fact thas
his own people stand by aud continue
to renew their confidence in him. If vindi-
cation was at all necessary, this fact alone
would supply it to every intelligent fair
minded man in the country. One point in
this nnectiOn-General Garfield is not q
candidate for Democratic votes, and why,
then, should It matter whether the exponents
of their. faith. consider him a thief or per-
iurer. or whatever else defamation may as
sign to his character" He is the candidate
of the Republican party, and its vote will be
abundantly sufficient to make him President
of the United States What is wanted is
proper organization of the party, and with
this assured we have no fears Of the result
y Democratic resident committee, being
the center of all political Islander in
Washington, started cut TO make cam
paign publication of Gar6eld's. record.
Weeks OF exploration and examination of
documents has sutfced, and now it is an
nounced that they give it UP. There is
nothing in it, and it has heen deemed mad
visable to tap the committees barrel for so
useless purpose. Publications We're made
in the newspapers of all that be found imme-
diately after the nomination, and it fell so
flat the committee interpret it as proof posi-
tive that the publication they had intended
would do no good to their cause.
