A circular purporting to give the IN
side history Of the Democratic congress
sional convention, and claiming that the
convention was run by monopolists to the
utter exclusion of working men, has been
circulated in this part Of the district by
Hon Henry Winter. The object of the
circulars is to excite the working men and
grangers to distrust of the two great par
ties and their candidates principally Of
the Democratic party and Captain Murphy,
at which and at whom the silly venom Is
chiefly aimed, and to mlsead them into
a more hearty and more numerous support
of the Greenback candidate if one be nomi.

ocratic party and candidate are made the
principal targets is because the leaders Of
this party gently but firmly rejected all
offers of fusion. The congressional central
committee of the GreenbaCk party will
meet at Anna on the 18th instant and will
decide whether or not congressional con

seems sure to be held soon. Mr., Winter
says that he is not in favor of putting a
congressional ticket in the field and that
he will do all he can against it. But Mr..
Winters actions and words are somewhat

bear strong evidences ota Wintry origin and
that Mr. Winter has industriousy circulated

believes, both Republicans and Democrats
of the district have ignored the handful Of
Greenbackers, he for one is in favor of indie.

II the Greenbackers will but think for
moment without prejudice, they will see
that they do the Democratic party of the
district a great wrong when they charge it
with ignoring the working men and the
grangers. Mr.. Linegar, for instance, has
been lifelong granger and is proud of
his farm trucks. He raises the tallest corn
in the district-seventee feet high to an
inch. man who owns farm upon
which such corn is raised must of necessity
be granger after the grangers own heart.
And Capt. Murphy is a working man. He
has been working man all his life. Ifhe
had not been he could not have honestly
accumulated the means he has. He is a
working man now, and those Of his oppo-
nents who do not believe that he is, will he
