want to say to the greenbackeY th,,
Boss Danforth is trying to sell the green.
back vote for congress to the prohibition
party. Mr. Haney, the candidate for
congress. is not greenbaeker, and the
greenback party has no candidate for
congress. Mr.. Haney has never said he
was greenbacker. He is running as
prohibition candidate and nothing else. and
Danforth is selling out the greenback party
to the prohibition party, and all green.
hackers who don't want to be sold out will
not vote for Mr.. Hsney. He is a Iepubli
can, and has always been, and is running
on the prohibition issue, and no other: and
the greenbackers ought to call convention
and put a straight greenbacker in the field
and not be sold out. Here is what Elk
Senator Hampton, editor of the BystdndT
of Macomb. has to say. The following
statement was published by Mr. Hampton
on the 30th of August:
AFTER his nomination, we sought an in.
''terview with him, and found him on bis
way to the depot TO take the O'Clock D.
I'm. train for Gibson. and he said that We
might say to the readers of The Bystdadey
e That Richard Haney professed to be an
"honest man; that he had been engaged
for many years in trying to elevate bu-
''manity and save the souls of men, that
The had grown old in this good work, and
now had charge of large congregation
''in the city of Burlington. At his time Of
'life he did not want to quit the ministry
land embark in politics; he had long been
land still was republican and not
''greenbacker.'
This statement was followed Sept 18th
by this clincher:
"The Bg-St1ndeF never states anything
as fact coming within the knowledge Of
its editor, that is not strictly true Mr.
Haney talked freely with us in relation TO
bis candidacy, and we gave to our readers
the substance of what he said without
adding anything thereto"
There is evidence that will crush any
thing to the contrary. He said himself
August 30th, that he was a republican
and not a greenbacker,' and the Roeg
Islander is deceiving the greenbackers, and
is selling them out, and they ought D
look out and have their tickets printed
where they will be printed in the inteTe'
Of the party, and where they will Be
printed with the name of the prohibition
candidate for congress. There is geai
deal of fraud committed in that way anl
the party will have its vote for congress
man lost by just that kind of treh
They ought TO be printed by sOmebod!
who knows what legal ticket is. A case
in point In 1878 Danforth printed Tx
tickets with dirty little picture of pocA
marked greenback, and it was not legal
and hundreds would not vote it on thai
account In Henry county the tickets
were printed by a democrat, AM
they were legally and honestly done. The
tickets printed by Danforth were illega..
and some of them were thrown out. and
they all could have been. The type iG
the whole ticket ought to be cast in or
solid block so that it could not be manipu
