BEWARE OF TRAITORS.
No Unholy Alliances with Either OF the
Old Parties.

cular, and the Bayard resolutions which
it calls for, and we ask again, how can
Greenbackers, individually or as a party,
deem possible an alliance with these
avowed and reiterated foes to every line
of our party belief? Mr.. Bayard, in
his speech in New York, says: 81 was
then for resumption, and am now for
resumption, and the Democratic candi-
dates for president and vice-president
want the same kind of resumption that
do" And their kind of resumption
is set forth in the Bayard resolution.
Mr.. Bayard speaks the truth Of him
self and his party; and yet that party
has shown itself so devoid of integrity
to itself as to seek alliance with the
party whose fundamental idea is an
tagonism to assumptions; they have
abased themselves in the dust to obtain
favOrs from the party whose very exist
ence means mfaltering animOsity to
every element of the Democratic party,
and they have done it, for what? To
gain votes that they may, as the chair
man of the finance committee says, ac-
cOmplish Democratic designs on the
finance of the country, establish real
and not a sham resumption; in other
words, Republican administration has
not gripped hard enough, has not quite
finished the ruin; there are yet some
drops to be squeezed from the heart of
the people, and Democracy pants to
apply the screws in her own power and
person.
And yet there are sO-called Green
hackers who declare their belief that
the Democratic party is actuated by
high and patriotic motives. \ party
that would cringe and lie to obtain
votes, becoming traitors to the pri>ci-
pies which govern their lives, and
which they publicly declare to be un-
alterably theirs, claiming precedence in
every measure against which the third
party takes issue, and yet willing to
clasp hands, nay, to 90 down into the
dust of party humiliation and entreat
alliance with the Grcenback party,
which, if they he true Democrats, they
must look upon us their most dangerous
foe, and the GreenbaCker would be the
last one to whom Il Democrat would
reach a proiessedly friendly hand, were
not trcachery as much part of their
Democracy as is resumption and hard
money.
Read this declaration of Mr.. Bay
ards, and he at least is fearless Of re-
proof from his party and then read
