rur aREENBACKERs AGREE TO RE-
MAIN IN FUSION HARNESS FOR
THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
PORTLAND, September 2l.-The
Greenback State Convention met
here to-day and Endorsed in the
heartbeat manner the arrangement
made by the Democratic and Green
back State committees at Augusta
in June. 1t was anticipated that the
convention would be small, but the
announcement that small knot of
so-called "straight Greenbackers,'
S,lon Chase being the only promi-'
nent man among them, intended TO
capture the convention and make
straight nominations caused the
Union men to rally in force. The
result was an attendance OF 465 dele
gates from the 95 towns. Soon after
the convention was called TO order a
resolution was introduced indorsing
the action of the two State commit
tees in recommending a ticket, and
after some discussion it was put to q
vote and carried overwhelmingly.
Not twenty votes were scored
against it, and when its adoption
was announced wild scene of en-
thusiasm followed. Men cheered
and threw their hats into the air.
Nineteen-twentieth OF the dele
yates were in favor of union and
they had but little patience with the
handful of straight Greenbackers
who wished to divide the party.
Scion Chase and about twenty others
called q boiling convention and nonina-,
ted straight electoral ticket, taking
Chase, Turner and Wbidden, of the I'm
ion ticket, aud dropping Bunker, Green
hacker, and the Democrats. Their
movement will not attract more than q
few hundred voters, and the Greenhack
party consider themselves well rid Of
them, for they have always opposed
every attempt at union. The regular
convention nominated the following cleo
toral ticket: Scion Chase, Greenback
er; Samuel Watts, Democrat, Electors
at-Large; and John f.. Turner, Benja-
min Bunker, Charles i. Whidden,
Greenbackers; William "A. Cromwell
and John p. Donworth, Democrats.
During the convention speeches were
made by Congressman Mui ch, who pre-
dicied that the State would give Tn
ion majority of 10000 in November. :
Congressman Ladd, who was sure Of 8
great victory, and Others made speeches
A large number of prominent Republi-
cans were in this city, including Cover
nor Davis, and they were very anxious
that there should be a division.
TO show how sincere IS the Green
backism of Tnrner, proprietor of til,
Neic Era, he offered to throw the influ
snce of his paper for the Fusion ticke
for $500 before the convention, and viii
even change for $1,000.
The result of to-day's convention ma
inspired the Union hosts with renewe,
courage, and they expect to press foI
ward TO another victory in November
