The Greenbackers of the Fifty-frst
Senatorial district met ia New Burnside,
johnson county, Tuesday, and nominated
Mr.. Geo. w, Endicott, well to do fruit
grower of Pulaski county as candidate
for Representative No nomination was
made for senator, but it was agreed that if
the Democratic convention which met at
Mound City Wednesday nominated but
one candidate for representative the
Greenback senatorial committee would in
| dorse the Democratic nominee for senator
the Democratic Committe would agree to
divide the vote of their party with the
GreeubacEers for representative. But the
Democratic Convention refused to fuse,
and Mr.. Endlcott announces that a straight
Greenblcker will be placed in the field
Tor senator.
The refusal of the Democrats Of the
Fifty first senatorial district to accept the
offer of the Greenbackers, to fuse with
them, was probably dictated by wisdom.
Had the Democrats consented to do so
they would have been no more apt to win
the race than they are now. The Repub.
lican majority of the district, at the election
Of 1880, was 1854; the Greenback vote was
but COL, difference of 1873 in favor of the
Republicans. The fusion ticket might
have commanded the 'upport of all the
Greenbackcrs, but it would also have dis
gusted number Of good Democrats and
Republicans who will give the Democratic
ticket a hearty support. The corrupt
bargain by which the Hon Daniel Hogan
obtained the nomination is a stencil in the
nostrls of many good Republicans OF the
Fifty first district, and they will support
Mr.. Youngblood who was honestly nomi-
mated, and who stands head and shoulders
above Mr., Hogan in point of ability.

We hope he may succeed in every way.
