Drs Morus, In., Marche 11.—The Democrats in this State aro In doubt and perplexity. ‘Their only hone of enlyation fs in the Greenhackera. ‘The recent roport tliat. the Grcenhact delegates in Congress had consolidated and will stand on their dignity.as the balance of porwer, has played hayée with the Demozracy, If the Green- backers should do this, st Is highly probable Clerk Adams wil be persuaded to leave the Town delegates off the roll of the next House, on tho ground thatthe election {n luwa in Oe- tober was invalid. It would certalnly ha the Dasest ingratitude for the Greenbackers thus to act. Every principle of consistency and com- mon honesty compels them to vote with the Democrats, for they were elected by Democratle votes. They could not have been fn any other way. Shoult they betray thelr friends and ollics, it will put an end to any consolidation in this State of the two partics, much as the Demo- crats at present desire it.. It is too much to expect that men so filled with the greed of ofllce as to sacrifice all principle to get it, would manifest much regard for tt wher elected. Bo far, the Demovrats hays been trinming their sails to tako §1 the Greenbackeras, or, more correctly spaating, to sell out. ‘She leading Demoeratle papers are mum upon all feses ex- cept one, the abolition of National banks, which ts a cardinal princtnte with the Green- backers in Iowa.

They sung this dismal dole all over the State, until they made the farmers be- Neve it; and, as the result, the fornfers sold their hogs, wheat, wid corn at what they could get. To-day loys aro worth vearly doubic what they were suld for. Grain was largely ad- yanced, and the markets aro precisely in the condition predicted by the Republicans. 1t will be strange if the farmers du not sce it, and act accordingly. ‘The Prohibitfonlsts announce their determina- tion to come Into the field with a Stato ticket town, which San Francisco or any other town would be proud of.
