A RINGING REBUKE


To SIonopOlist and Labor oPprsssors- Com.
pIIment to John A. Hutchinson,
saie Standard,
We are informed that Mr., Mcmillan,
who has made partial canvass Of Roane,
Jackson and Mason counties, found a
strong continent among Greenbackers
iayoring the Endorsement Of Mr.. HutChin'
son, the Republican nominee on the
grounds that the Republicans in 1854 had,
almost to MAD, supported Colonel Bar
bee, GreenbaCker, in accordance with the
agreement made by the respective COM
mittees OF the two parties. and for these
reasons Mcmillan will withdraw from the
field in favor OF Mr., Hutchinson.
We were q participant in the proceed,
ipRs OF the committees referred to, and
candor requires MS to cay that an agree
ment was had TO the effect that, on con
dition oil the Republicans supporting Col.
Barbee for congress in 1851, the Green
back committee were to support the Re-
publicsn candidate, were no not an OBJ
man, in 1856, Two oil the
members OF our committee diEsented to
subscribe in writing to the agreement Oh
Tho grounds that their acts could not bind
the action Of another committee, that
would succeed them two years hence.
But, it is true that there are a large
number Of the voters in the ranks OF the
G1eenback Labor party OF this district
who feel that the argument, made by q
majority Of our committee, ought to be
carried out faithfully.
We have also learned the fact that there
lis q widespread feeling OF dissatisfaction
among GreelbRCkels, knights oil Labor,
Republicans and Democrats alike in the
upper end OF this district, over the man
ner in which the Standard Oil Company
defeated Judge j. NJ, Jackson in the late
conyentlou, Our people believe he was
p slaughtered on account Of his anti-mo'
nopoly views, and there il u strong de-
, gire to rebuke the Coal Oil Ring " the
u polls by showing 1t under with ireedmenH

We know that Col, Barbee and his

. do this; it will heal up the differences
I between the GreenbaCkers OF the upper

: doubtedly, feel it to DO his interest to
stand by and work for the people OF his
u district in preference to the corporations
