He, Mullen, then left the place with one of the judges in charge, hoping that tho election would "be allowed 1o proceed, But, finding that the flghclnf con- tinued, he declided to give up all further {ilea of holding an clection, and the judges therefore abandoned the ficld to thelr antagonists.

A FRW PACTS CONCERNING TilB OREERDACRERS, There was o considerable undercurrent of feeling among the Greenbackers' which found long and loud expressions upon tho strcets, making it more apparent that the great party of currency reform is a house divided against itsclf. The Messrs, Bpringer deny all the alle- gatlons sct forth In Bunday's Trimoxz. Mr, James Springer sald yesterday to MTRIDUNS ro- porter that he didn’t so much care for nimsclf, but that these reports were hurting the party 8ald he: T never received s cont for salary—I wish I had. I havo been giviog my time heront these rooms for four months and put my hands {n my own puckets to pay some of the bllls, I don’t want to ba misunderstood or misrepre- sented, and only ask to ba treated fairly.” Mr, R M. Springer sald ho had reccived no salary, The Committee agreed to pay his board and expenses, and they have not done that even promptly. And now In regard to the statements pub- lished In Tiw: SUNDAT TRisuNg. The truth s, and no nmount of denlal can gainsay ft, that the Greenback party is run fo this city by amall-fry machine politicians, It {s run in the interest of alittlcellque. By them it has been wofully mismanaged. They have nominated, ofitccrs from Presidentinl-Electors down. There has been no harmony at all. There has been no svatem. Tho few gennine Greenbackers in Cook County have beon totally ignored. The only object has been scif-aggrandizement and notorietv, and the action of the past provas It. Candidates nominated have Uecn endeavoring to scll out, and that the party hiere is crumbling to pleces no sunc mancan deny. Whether, how- ever, the party s endeavoring to sell out teetotally to the Democracy remalns to be scen. ‘They have fondled the monster until the two have become unnatural allies. Steward and Hise have been pinned to the tall of Tilden's kite. What the object was can beat be inferred, 1f it was not a clear sell-out, what waa it? Deuials go for nought in the face of proven facts. Steward, IHise, Hooton, and Coy, of BloomIncton, were in the clty yesterday, They had the ladles’ parlor in the Tremont House all to themaclves for several hours, It was ameet~ Ing of mutual admiratlon, and, ns Mr, [ise re- marked, ** merely to ‘exchango notes,” These four candldates came togetber to talk business. There I3 much complaint from the country. The Greenbackers throughout the Stato caw't sco how this machine Is run,~whether fu the arty's Interest or In tho interest of the !‘)cmocmcy. The case of the Greenback party in~ tho Northwest f8 & hopeless one. It has bLeen playlng a two-hand- ed, double-deallng game. As witness, for in- stance: John R. Hoxie, of the Bouth fl!dc, dur- ing “Ounr Barney’s” absence, announced him- self g8 an independont candidate for Congress in the First District. Ilo was the chofce of the Greenbackers, Ho put up bis *scads,” and Yerry H. Bmith, R. E. Goodell, and other lead- ing Democrats furnished additional shekels to et up an enthusiosm. Were thoy nursing the fiulc ragged bratt Noj they were only getting up an enthusiasm among the boya, When Bare ney Caulfleld camne iome iloxic was compelled toissuca card that an indepeudent candidate he would wmot be, but would only ac- cept o r~=lar Democratic nomination. Sueh (s, .utleal life, Thils wproves that the Democracy have the Ureenbackers well in hand, and will run that maching to sult themselves. Steward was to leave for honig Jast evening, and the result of the confercnce ng four™ will never he known, HEIMUBLICAN NEADQUARTKRY, At the Grund Paclfic rooms all was qulet and serene yesterday, theoretieally speaking, but o more genuing or hearty feoling of conflilence was uover exhibited.

These trunks are almost In- varlably packed full, and gencrally contain more or less hooks, accaslonally a kit of tools, and Irequintl dishes or other solid substances, and 8o licayy {hat, lct the baggageman he sver so carc{ul, ]t lie sets It down on the end the chances aro that the lock will break, or hinges come off, or end spring out, being held only by tif-inch nalle.
