EXT . | A DISGUSTED GREEN BACKER What one of the Stalwarts has to Say About Last Wednesday’s Convention. RICH, RARE AND RACY. Evkuarrt, Sept. 25, 1882. Ep. Times:—Will you give me ; Space in your paper to say a few words to the Greenbackers of Bates county | in regard to the convention on the 2oth, and the manner in which the party was disgraced by a few of the would-be ‘*Bosses’’ ot the party? Uf course 1 mean the attempt to ‘*fuse’’ with the Republican party. Let it be known to all that this was not the action of the Greenback party, but a few of the would-be icade who had ‘‘fixed’’ the Rich Hill | Butler delegations, while the other ! townships, which were opposed to ij fusion, knew nothing of the move iment, till they arrived in Butler on ithe morning of the 20th and found ithe caucus already assembled in H Betz’s office, and fusion’ under full | headway.

However, we fought manfully, but finally, under leadership of Betz, Thompson & Co.. the fusionists carried by a small ma- ; jority and nominated four out of the | twelve offices, thus throwing two- thirds of them as a bait to the Re- publicans. But vou may rest as- sured we never intended to submit to such a shameful surrender of our principles. A movement was on foot to call a mass convention of the stalwart Greenbackers of the county ; and put a straigh* ticket in the field, when the news came that the Re- publicans had spit in the faces of these milk-and-water fusionists and would have nothing to do with them. What a humiliating spectacle to see men, who claim to be Greenbackers, going around pulling at the coat-tails of Republicans, as Betz and Thomp- son did last Saturday, begging them to fill out the rest of the fusion tick- et! Greenbackers ef Bates county, we have been struck a damaging by this movement; a blow which it will take us a long time to recover from. We must put the leaders of this tusion movement in | the back ground. We must see to it | that they are true men who control our erganization. And, above all, we must show to the world that we have no sympathy, and will make no alliance, either tor money or office, with cither of the old parties. J. R. Putman.
