HARRISBURG, June 5.-Next week the
Greenback Convention will be held in this
city. There will be no fusion regarding
county officers, although it is reported that
the Republican bosses are manipulating a
scheme, which we think will result to their

Benjamin + Butler, their candidate for
President, saws that the County Convention
cannot be bulldozed; that the true Green
hackers are against fusion, and against

school Of twenty years ago; that the Green
back party made a mistake in not nomi

strongest candidate, who then will be

the Republicans know that the Democrats
will elect by an overwhelming majority a
Congressman from the First district, AMI
that the defeat two years ago, only stimu-
latcs the great Democratic party to thor
oughly organize and place candidates in the
field, who will represent properly the best
inter sts of the people. The Republicans
ere have not determined upon the time U.
