What does the Tribune man
mean? Is he ashamed of the party
which seeks the election of Hancock
and thus strives to exalt the man at
the expense Of the party? Even as
the drowning man grasps at straw
so this editor catches at anything
which may seem for moment to buoy
him up,

With the thought fathered by the
wish, some of the Democratic pa
pers have been intimating that Sen,
ator Carpenter was lukewarm in
his support of Garfield. 1t will be
cold comfort for them to know that
his old time eloquence will manifest
itself in the campaign. AID that he
will soon make a speech in NIilwau-
kee. He says: ''The people will
find that the superb soldier is a
superb looking fellow, and there the
matter will rest, while our man
bristles all over with a brilliant per-
sonal history and an illustrious mil
itary and Legislative career. There
is nothing about him that can be
assailed, and all the fire that can
blaze at him will be Of no avail.
The Grant men will stand by Garfield
the same as they stood by Grant at
Shiloh and Vicksburg, and later still,
under Logan and Conkling at Chicago
They are patriots, and will never re-
treat from the enemy"
The Madison State Journal says:
1t is announced that the soft-money
men of Third Congressional District
Of Wisconsin have put in nomination
one S. n. Jones. The Greenbackers
have opened State headquarters at
Ookosh, where they publish small
weekly called the Standard, edited by
Robert Schilling, Of Cleveland, O., a
prominent Buckeye rag-babyist who is
earnestly engaged in the hopeless mis-
sion work Of endeavoring to trans
plant the ''idee" to Wisconsin. |

didates are TO be put up in the First,
Third, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth dis
tricts-the nomination having already
been made in the Third. In a few
scattering agricultural counties indie
pendent tickets will be nominated,
and very few Assembly districts will
also be contested by the fatists In
conversation with a member of the
State Journal staff. recently, one of
the managers Of the greenback party
in this State claimed that they expec-
ted total vote Of 10000; but as last
year their State Committee claimed
80, 900, and only polled $4,000, the
reader may make an estimate Of the
result at the coming election. The
Greenbaek party in Wisconsin, as in
Ohio, is visibly dwindling away, and
the attempt to keep up its organiza-
ton is a farce ;; the success of resump
ton and the return Of good times,
have stolen the thunder from their
storm Of wrath; and the party now
exists onl as an association Of polit-
ical soreheads and social pessimists,
weeded out from both Of the other
parties, with no principles other than
the desire to pass resolutions and de-
claim against humanity at large, and
hoping against fate that the political
lightning may yet strike them, in
some unforeseen and fortuitous man
ner. Except in small, ignorant and
poverty-stricken communities of
which there are remarkably few in the
n orthwest-th Greenbackers have
ceased to be worthy of consideration
as a political element.
