THE DEMOORATS AND GREENBAOKERS, ‘Tho project reported from Washington for coalition betwoon tho Demoorate and Greonbackors in tho interest of Mr, Tiun- man's Presidoutial candidature is vary lovoly in theory. ‘Chose in favor of it are able to figuro out cortain dofent of the Republicans in Ohlo, Michigan, Indiana, and certain othor Atatos by adding the porgentage of the Gteonback vote to tha Democratic porcont- ngo; in the Stntes mentioned the result 1s found to bo a larger porcentage thon that of the Repnblican voto. If the proposed coali- tion should carry these States, and cloot a mon like ‘Toxt Ewrxa Governor of Ohio, the argument is that the Eastern Democrats would bo forced to yiold to the logic of facta, and would quictly surronder tho nomination fo Mr, ‘Tnunsan, ‘Ibis Jattor assumption inay be truo; the essential defect in the pro- grammo isin counting upon an aggregate percontngo in caso of contition equal to the added porcentages of the Democratic ant Greonback voto whon const soparatoly, Unfortunately for Mr. ‘Tiunstan’s ontoula- tion, tho coalition sohiome has just been tost- ed, and not with & result that justifics his predictions, ‘The Domoorata and Greonback- ors ran separate tickets in Michigan Inst yonr; this year thoy joined forces in that State. Last year, though the Republicans carried the State, thoy had only 44} ver cont of tho total vote, whila tho added vote of tho Graon- backors and Domoerats constituted abont 55} por cont of the whole, The returns from a majority of the cities and towns of Micht- gan this year indicate that the Republicans have eartiod the State by about 10,000 ma- jority over the united Democrats and Green- backers; in that caso the Ropublioan per- contage of tho total vote will be nbont 54 per cont, while that of the coalition will bo only 46 por cont. In other worda, conlfion in Michigan lost about 9} per cont from the added percentage of the Domverats and Groonbackers voting separately. From which itwill be soen that Mr, aunstan's hittle schome of conlition docs not work out in practico so well as it looks on paper; and, if- tried, it mny result in tho dofoat of Mr, ‘Tnunstan’s Presidontial prospects, instead of assuring them, There ig every reason why coalition be- fwoen tho Democrats and Greonbackors ‘in tho other States should have precisely tho snino reault os it has just had in Michigan, That result is tho loss of alargs number of Domocratic votes and niso a large numbor of Groonback votes. . The Michigan Demoorats Inst yonr took strong ground against the Fiat horosios, donounced them in thoir platform, rallied their own strongth, and cast their full party vote, Tho Greenbackers, on the othor hand, smarted undor this treatmont and put forth their best efforts to cast the largest vote they‘could. ‘Chis year the hard-money Democrats, disgusted with the coalition, would not vote the ticket, and the Greon- backers with Republican nntecedonts and preferoncas likowiso deserted. ‘Tho conlition in Michigan was condemned by some of tho leading Demo- eratio newspapers and politicians; but it was equally condemuedl by somo of tho leading Greenback organs and politicians. A similar coalition in other States will be fol- lowod by similar disdatisfaction and loss of votes. ‘hero oro hard-monoy Democrats everywhero who will not consent to tho em-, ployment of the Domocratic party os 1 vehicle for carrying through tho Tiat theo- ries; and there are Greanbackors averywhero who, though ready to vote agninst tho Re-. publican party on the currency question, aro not willing to vote with the Democratic party on tho old pnrty issues, ‘Thoro is no objection to the proposed coslition from o Republican party point of view, but we sus- pect that the lesson of. tho Michigan oleotion will induco both Democrats and Groonback- ors to fight shy of Mr, 'Tnunstan’s policy.
