Begging to be Allowed to Sup with the
Greenbackers.

In the Democratic Senatorial caucus at
Augusta Thursday evening Senator Jenning s
of Penobscot said that for the last five years
he had not expected to live to witness the
qualification Of a governor of his choice, and
was rejoiced that he had now had that oppor-
tunity. He reviewed the means whereby this
end was gained, and stated that he did not
know of a man in the Democratic party who
possessed two dollars but he had given one of
them to accomplish the election of Governor
Plaisted. He desired that the Greenbackers
should now grant that whatever honor the
nomination would carry with it should be con-
ferred upon the gentleman belonging to the
Democratic party. He did not know whether
the Greenback and Democratic parties could
ever be again united but he did not think it
right for the Greenbackers to arrogate to
themselves every honor. He thought it right
the Greenbackers should open the doors and
allow the Democrats to come in and sup with
them-if there was anything to eat. Give
the Democrats a chance and they would lead
their whole force to defeating the Republican
party in the next campaign. In his opinion,
Anderson was as good Greenbacker as any
of them.
