much to be feared, however, that the

of rascality and jobbery to which those

FACTS FOR GREENBACKERs
Why the Leaders Cooperate
With the Democratic Party.

NJ. NJ. Pomeroy, who has been
identified with the Greenback move
ment for several years has determined
to return like other leaders in that
party to the great Democratic party.
He will issue a paper at D Denver at 50
a year, and hopes soop to have a cir
Culation OF 100000. In paper
which he already publishes at Den
yer, "The Great West" he says:
Early in November, 1882. we shall
begin the publication of "Pomeroy's S
Democrat" new edition, as a red hot
Democratic paper, and we ask the
help OF every Democrat and other
lover OF the country and believer in
reform to at once help us to give it
circulation. 1t will be the same size
as this paper, eight pages, and will
succeed to the business Of this paper.
which will then be discontinued.
Satisfied, after six years hard study
and labor that the Greenback ele-
meDt will never organize itself into
dominant party, and that all reforms
needed to keep pace with progression
tcan be brought about within the Dem
Ocratic party; and that tbev never
can and never will be by the Republi
can party, we shall again enter the
political field to do faithful and we
hope III ctive battle for tue Demo
cratic principles, such as are germi-
mated in the constitution and neces-
sary to the wealth producing people OF
this country and Of the world in gen.
Feral.
The initial number Of "Pomeroy's
Democrat" will recite the rise and fall
Of the effort to organize an Indepeh-
dent Greenback party-the part we
have taken therein-the reason why
we abandon that effort and what we
believe can be gained by and through
the Democratic party.
The disposition of the people now is
to cut loose from Bossism and Bour-
bOnism, and to return to genuine De-
mocracy. This being the case, we
feel it to be our duty as a citizen to
assist the millions who are engaging in
this work. The better to do this,
Pomeroy's Democrat will recite great
many facts we'll nigh forgotten 1t
will hold the record of the Republican
party up for inspection and execration.
1t will hew to the exact line, and will
prove to be not only warm, but useful
reading.
The contest of 1884 will soon be
upon us. The people must soon de-
eide whether they will have a Demo
cratic or Republican administration Of
affairs. There is room in the Demo.
cratic party for all honest, we'll
intentioned men, and the more Of
them the better. As the Greenback
men have abandoned their once
rapidly growing organization, and as
there is no sense in bushwhacking, we
return to our first love politically,
there to contend for the rights Of man.
The amout of good Pomeroy's Dem.
ocrat can do will depend greatly on its
circulation.

IT is alleged sometimes that the
railroads have no interest in the poll
tics Of Tennessee, and as the settle

nearly a dozen years ago has never
been reopened, the assertion so often

cepted but for one fact. Nearly
all the railroad lawyers are op
posed to Bette, and either sup

Gratis. We are inclined to believe thai
tho railroad men back of the scenes
are not as anxious about the honor
and credit of the State as the attor
neys in their employment. These
lawyers imagine they are doing the
railroads vast amount of service By
taking an active part in politics
whilst the magnates quietly sit bach

notable fact whateyer the interpre
tation, that nearly all the Democrat,

LONDON, November /. - In the

in answer to certain questions, that in

Britain had advised the Khedive Of
Egypt to conduct the trial Of Arab

ing further had been officially heard
as to the decision OF the Khedive.
Sir Wiltred Lawson literally
urged the government to insist
upon the admission Of representatives
of the press to the trial, to the end
that reliablereports be received and
that the proceedings should not be
suffered to proceed in star chamber
fashion. Dixie replied the govern.
ment had already made representa-
tions to Egyptian authorities in favor
Of publicity and that the gov
ernment did not consider it
dignifed to further urge its views on
the subject. sHe hoped it would
also be unnecessary. The debate was
resumed on the amendment Of Gibson,
Conservative, which is that two
thirds majority shall be necessary Ia
