Age, which has been the leading and most
widely circulated Greenback paper In
Maine, counsels the Greenback party to
give up all hope Of becoming powerful
distinct party, and TO at once form more
perfect union with the Democratic party
or, In other words, TO 90 into the Demo
cratic party The Age presents a table
giving the Greenback vote in 1873 and Ia
1880, and showing that the party has fallen
of In strength so seriously that 1t Is use
less to longer attempt TO build up Green
back party. The Age says that there are
about 20. 900 voters In 10th the Democrat
ic and Greenback parties; that $4,000 OF
these will stick 10 the Democratic psrty,
ANYWAY; and that not more than 10 600 or
the 20, 700 were ever Republicans. The
problem is how TO turn over these 10000
voters OF Republican procliyitics to the
Democratic ranks. IL II understood that
the programme this year is 10 hold both
Greenback and Democratic conventions,
for fear that these voters are not quite
ready TO he turned over; but have the two
conventions nominate the candidate or
candidates previously agreed upon by the
leaders.
