Fusion and Confusion.

standing as to the proper course OF
treating the Greenback party. Their
present practice of fraternizing with
the Greenbackers in the North and bull
dosing them in the South shows that
somebody lacks the proper cue. The
press and politicians of the South see
little cause for congratulation in the
partial defeat of the Republicans in
Maine, purchased by the almost COM
plete obliteration of the Democratic
party in that State. General Hancock,
on the contrary, does not view it in that
light, and on the first announcement of
the Fusion success sent his dispatch of
congratulation to General Plaisted, the
Greenback candidate for Governor.
After his nomination by the Greenback
State Convention, General Plaisted ap-
peared before it and made a speech.
He addressed them as "Fellow-Green-
backers' and said: "I accept this
nomination because l believe that 1
stand in full accord with the Greenback
party" Yet it was on the supposed
success of this man, who never voted q
Democratic ticket in his life, that Gen
eral Hancock found encouragement for
his own success and hastened to send
congratulations.
In the South, on the other hand, the
supporters of General Hancock cannot
see that the Geenback party is entitled
to any more rights or any better con-
sideration than the Republicans. In
Alabama, during the recent Greenback
campaign in that State, Mr.. DE La
Matyr's appearance in behalf of his party
was the signal for Kisses from the assem-
bled Bourbons, who termed him "the
Indiana Buffalo" Mr.. Randall, of Iowa,
while endeavoring to present the claims
of the Greenback ticket in this same
State of Alabama, the only Southern
State in which that party has yet. made
q serious general contest, was advised
by his friends to stop, as his life was in
danger. General Weaver. the Green
back candidate for President has not
yet recovered from the indignation
which his Alabama experiences aroused
in him. While the Democrats were
last week rejoicing over the news of
Greenback success in Maine General
Weaver announced to a Cooper-Insti-
tute audience how his party and the
Republicans alike were treated in Ala
bama. He said: "Why, when q man
votes down there the judges of cleo
ton, who sit behind a screen, SO no
one can see them, look at his ballot,
and, if it suits them, they put it in the
