An attempt (we beg pardon of our readers for calling it by bo res pectable a name) is made by both the fusion organs, ihe Democrat Com monwealth, to- aDswer the points of our article last week. The former uhttet says in substance, "just you let us alone; we've got this thing all fix od, and are going to do it up brown we eptak for the Greenback party as well as for the Democratic, and would like to have a say-so for the Kepubliean party ; we want to be left alone in this matter of fixing things and it makes us terrible uneasy to bave you Btir the matter up so much While the mighty boss of tho Com monwealth gets down and simply says 'you're another!" This is the sub stance of what tho two great heads brought forth after locking them selves up in a room together for a day and anight. The Democrat, in tryin to claim the credit for tba present prosperous condition of our county, ; published a lot of figures proving ex actly what we claimed ; that is, that under Republican management the affairs of our county bad beeu care fully and judiciously handled, thus giving the lie to the bombastio cry Df mis management. And the Com moawcallh very Baturally "seconds , the motion ;" endorses Democracy ; body and breeches. But this is uot - surprising, as it uevcr had anything J. E. WENK, ? . but a Democratic editor, any way. The Democrat has not the decency to pologize for the gross insult olfored tho Greenback party by its recent assault on the associate judges, but intimates tlir.t we are welcome to publish all such. Well, we have lots more in store which are likely to make very entertaining fusion reading mat ter for these bosses us the campaign regresses. Both sheets deny, poiut blank, any violation &f their rules and system of Hiominatioos. Let us see: Iu the Dem ocratic rules we find the following. he italics are ours : !. No candidates shall bo clignble to a nomination for any otlico unless notice of his candidacy ha been published in at least three issues of the Democratic papers of the comity, immediately before tho holding of the primaries 1(5. Tho County Committee shall liavo power to alter or amend these rules as occasion may require by giving notice in two issues of the Democrat papers in the county immediately betbro the meeting of tho Committee at which said amend ments are to be made. And from the Greenback rules we quote as follows : 1st. Tho candidates for tho several of fices shall have their names announced in one or more of the county papers at least two weeks previous to the primary meetings, stating tho office, and subject to tne aeiion ot the party at tho said prim- arj meeting. 8th. Tho Return Judaes may at any time change tho mode and manner of selecting candidates as thai tuav be in strncted by the people, at their primary meetings, due notice being given by the bounty vommittee. Now we leave it to any honest per son to decide who is making the false representations? Do either of the above quotations need any plainer interpretation? Have we not read in both of those sheets that "no an nouncements will be published," and do not their rules say candidates must be announced? Do not both sets of rules prescribe, as plainly as words can, tho manner in which they shall be changed? Has the proper manner been resorted to in order to make nominations as the bossesa have planned ? And yet, we are accused of mis-representation when we state that they have departed from their rules in order to carry out a system of bossism that could not well be accornplisei in any other way but by a direct and flagrant violation of the rules. We hurl these facts into the teeth of these sheets and ask them t crawl out of their unenviable pre dicament if they can. It is custom ary to publish the party rules a week or two before the primaries take place. Will these sheets do it this year as they have formerly; dare they be honest enough to do it? Wo want every body to wail and see. The Democrats of this county at one time used the delegate system. Why did they change to the Crawford county system? einiply because they could not get a fair expression of the party by the former, as they admitted them selves. Why have the self-appointed bosses of both parties adopted the delegate system now? Why simply to carry out their scheme, or "busi ness transaction, as is patent to every honest voter. The Commoawealth is jnst now re galing its readers with Democratic communications, but will uot allow a true Greenbacker to have a bearing through its columns. Last week it prints, and thereby indorses, a letter from a "simon pure Democrat," whic contains tho startling announcement that "the difference between the Greenback party and the Democratic party is very small!" Honest and conscientious Greeubackers, is this true? has it come to that pa93 when there is little difference between those two parties? If the ringsters bavo their way we doubt not they would have it so; but do the few ringsters here in Tionesto speak for the entire party? We guess not. The Democrat pipes out, "The Dem ocrata and Greenbackers will do their own thinking and voting." That's fact, young fellow ; you hit the bulls eye that time, and they'll not allow themselves to be duped by the litt band of political tricksters, here in Tionesta, who have been a constant drawback to the success of their par ties for years. You bet they'll do their own thinking, and it will be the worse for the ringsters who have, in their minds, consummated the littl "business transaction" when they come to do their voting. The fusion organs complain be cause we occupy so much space in showicg up their schemes in their true light. Well, if we had two pa pers to work with, and divide our matter accordingly it would not look so large; but it would amount to the same. Hun the two articles of the Democrat and Commonwealth together and they'd occupy more space than we have had at any one time. And how nicely they do agree. he Commonwealth tries the Smoth ering Process. Below we print a letter from a straight-out, true Greenbacker.- Tie riter first sent it to the Commonwealth and asked to be heard, but as the boses who ore manipulating that con cern now, have thrown principles to the dogs, and can find room only for )emocratic effusions, they attempt to smother this honest, open letter, to which the writer has the manliness to attach hi signature. Time wna when tho Commonwealth invited the broad est discussion of politics through its columns, but it has "entered iuto a business tranfactiou" now, and not even the confceientious membeis of its own party con have a hearing. What has the editor to oy for his cowardly attempt to stifle the voice of his party ? lead the letter and see how squarely the writer hits the nail on the head, and how he echoes the sentiment of scores of honest, consistent Grct- backers who don't want to seo their party commit political suicide. Hero it is : Bali.tovn, Va., Mch. 31, 1884. Editor Commonwealth : Dear Sir: Iu your issue of 27th, you say that a coalttiou between the Democrat and Greenback parties had been arranged upon a fair division of officers. This arrangement (tnncars to bave been made by the county com mittee without a dissenting voice. You give us their excuse for tho partner ship "That there is now in existence in the county a ring manipulated by republicans by which the politics of the coun'y are controlled, and that it is to break upfiw ring that they ad vocate a co-operation of the two par ties." The arrangement as stated is for the Democrats to choose a person for Assembl y and threo other county officers. Tho Greenbackers are to have Prothouotary, Sheriff aud three other miuor officers. Mr. Editor, why did we Greeubackers leave ihe Dem ocratic and Republican parties? Because both, patties advocated meas- nres wo could not conscientiously support. If we wish to carry out or advance our principles can we do so by voting for a man for Assembly belonging to one of the old parties? Suppose we support the fusion ticket, we send a man to the Assembly t vote for monopolies, for National banks, and for a Democrat to represent us in the United States Senate to vote to bave the bouds refunded upon long time. Is this carrviu? out Greenback priuciples ? To counteract the effect' of this very Litter pill (votiug fur a Democrat ic Assembly niau) we are offered an antidote in the shape of a Prothonota- ry ana a nerin. in what way can a Protlionotary and Sheriff carry out our principles in their official capaci ty. Yonr antidote is eutircly insuffi cient. I for one cannot he'ieve that the whole County Committee sanctioned any such au arrangement. If there was such a ring as you refer to, and tho parties thai voted unanimously for the combination had Ikcii honest in their desire to brxak up said ring, they would have fust tried to get the democratic party to vote the green back ticket to break it up, failing iu which they should have announced that the Greenback party wouhJ make no nominations at all, and usk all op posed to ring rule to join them in supporting tho Democratic county ticket and thereby carry out ore of our principles, "opposition to rings." A straight Democratic ticket, to break up a corrupt ring I could vote. A combination of the Greenback with either party for spoils, Never ! In this I believe a majority of the Greenback voters will join with me, whether they came from Republican or Democratic sources. It is potsible, being a comparative stranger io your county, that I do not uuderstaud its politics. I am willing and anxious to learn. I would ask you to please publish this and ask a free expression from other members of our party. Believing, if this arrangement is car ried out, it will he the ruination of the greenback party. Respectfully, E. S. Hoyt Workmen should hunt up some of the pledges of the Democratic free trade party of forty years ago and compare them with the cries by which they are sought to be eBtrapped now.

The Republican party is the par ty of Protection, and the Free-traders and the Free-trade newspapers recog nizee the fact by preferring to drop ti e subject during the presidential cam paign in order to got a platform, as tho Ne York Times says, "upon which just 4,.r)00,000 Rcpublicaus can stand comfortably and iu harmony." Four years ego, however, the four and a half millions stood on a Protective platform, aud they will again this year. o- Old Bon Tombs, the man who said the day would come when ho would call the roll of his slaves at tbe foot of Bunker Hill monument, has been sulking ever since the rebel armies were forced to lay down their arms, and refuses to be regarded as a citizen of the United Stales under Yankee deuomination. What does his sud denly revived interest in the affairs of this country, foreign to him, expressed in his greeting to Morrison, "take no 6tep backward." mean, hut that he sees in this Morrison tariff bill the re vival of bis loet cause? If there were no other reasons why tho people should reject the miserable free trade policy it should be sufficient that the enemies of the country, whether fur eign rivals or domestic traitors, are all in favor of our adopting it. .40. , The Democratic State Convention at Alleuto-.vn last week was ooe of the most perfect illustrations of a deliber ative body that has ever come off in this country, except that the delibera tion came ofr before the convention met. Not in one single instance whs the slated action announced from six days to three weeks iu advance de viated from. Even to the tariff plank in the platform, was it accepted iu toto. It is worked with the peculiar delibeiation that marks the distin guished ability of its author iu the art of being all things to all men There is little doubt but that should the Democratic party win on such a platform, Carlisle, Watterson and Morrison could reach their views, of "revenue retjnn," without laving theiusdves open to ti e charge of vio lating its spirit. Ihe poiut upon which the real divergence among the people will arise, will be as to vs but constitutes tho tariff that will do what is recpuired. Tbo people wi!l be apt to gather the idea of the Demo crats on that poiut from the speeches of the great reveuue reform lights of the party, and the direction of its press, and will have none of it. On the wlndo it was the trsdiiioual Dem ocratic convention ; its work cut out ahead ; its utterances were insincere aud time serviug ; its deliberatiou, the registering of the decrees of its bosses, and fated to its traditional defeat. nilOTOGRAPII GALLERY.
