GREeNBACK CAMPAIGN NOTES.


THE Nashville Tenn, Banner
daily comes out for Weaver and
Greenbacks.
THE Greenbackers of st. Louis NOM
mated city ticket, on the 7th, and
selected candidates for both houses of
the legislature.
The support of Bayard and Belmont
should be sufficient in the eyes of
Greenbackers to damn any political
party in existence.
$950,000 have been raised in New
York and Boston to carry Indiana for
the Republicans. 1t was raised, of
course, mostly among the bankers.
THE Republicans are very much
troubled as to how Bill English, the
tail-end Of the Hancock ticket, got his
money, but the Democrats are only
troubled as to how they can get it.
A MONSTER outdoor Grcenback
meeting was held in Providence, r. L.,
Ia It Monday evening. Eloquent speech
es were made by William Foster Jr,
and Henry Appleton, in which both
the old parties were arraigned before
the bar of public opinion.
On, the business booml the business
boom! that glorious business boom! 1t
has just struck the working men of
Fall River again. The manufacturers
have just met in that city and again
voted to reduce the wages Of their
operatives 10 per cent. Said boom to
take effect October lst.
THE New York Graphic publishes a
special from Washington, which says
that the publishers of the Greenback
organ, the National View, have been
offered $4,000 to come out squarely for
the Fusionists. The offer is said to
have been made by a person on behalf
of Barnum, chairman of the national
Democratic committee.
THE Democrats are having good
meetings in Indiana but the Green
hackers go one better every time. The
mere mention Of the name of English
vets down all the enthusiasm Of the
unwashed in that state, while our
Greenback friends there have nothing
of which to be ashamed, and eyeryth-
ing of which to he proud.
If rousing meetings are any indica-
tions of Greenback reyivals, Iowa is
having her full share of that felicity.
Every exchange from that state is filled
with accounts Of the tremendous and
enthusiastic gatherings of those earnest
Westerners of Rag-baby fame. The
Greenback party has come to that place
to stay and you can no more stamp it
out than you can blow out the light of
the sun with dolls breath.
BEFORE the Maine election, Republi-
can papers were full of statements to
the effect that the Greenbackers of
Maine were all going back" The
election shews that the statements
were lies, and nothing but lies. The
November election will show that i'll
stead of "going back" they were going
ahead" all over the country. Where
one weak-kneed Greenbacker goes back
there are half a dozen stOut-hearted,
brave-souled men TO take his place.
THERE is something Of much more
value than success; it is the effort to
make right succeed. A success may
be obtained by scheming or by circum-
stances. The effort to make success
of what is right comes from the inner
man, and means that devotion and
truth are not without meaning in the
world. Greenbackers believe in the
truth of their cause. Let their efforts
toward its success justify that belief.
Work for success wait for it, hope for
it; but never sell Il vote or deny a
principle to obtain it.
