THE MACHINE BOSSES DEMOR ALIZED.
Editor Sentinel : The Republican is out with a great spread of cheeky buncombe about the National Green* back nominations, and winds up with era :odile tears over the total destruction of the Greenback party. Does not their common sense teach them that it is entirely inconsistent for them to manifest so much concern for fear of a consummation they so devoutly wieb? But “for the rectitude of our intentions let pacts be submit" ted to a candid world/' Tha mac'-ine bosses of the Republican patty seeiug the brea hen created in their own ranks by the operation of their machine, nave for some time been turning their attention to running their machine across the line into the Greenback camp to offset the havoc made by the machine in their own bappv household. The flr3t efforts of the machine was to induce the Democrats to nominate for Auditor a Demeerat, not to go out of their camp and nominate Nowels foi he was a despised Greenbacker. The Democrats nominated Nowels, Now the machine works its ponderous jaws again, and the Greenbackers must not go out of their camp and nominate Nowelm, for he Is a Democrat they must nominate instead a good, strai’t Greenbacker that will do in all respects just what the Republioan mas ohine bosses direot. The machine was found to fail in its object to con trol the Greenback party In ite nominations and then it was set and gauged for a “bolt”—that was the happy idea of the next best thing to be done, the bosses had decided, the machine was oiled with “SIOO, by G—d, to beat Nowell,” and the thing must be acs complisbed. But the machine broko down utterly and made an inglorious failure. The .Greenback convention proved itself capable of taking care of Its own interests and put a full tloketin the field without asking the machine bosses of an opposing party what they should or should not do. All the niaoliine operations were thus a failure, and nothing is left the bosses now but to howl over the miscarriage of their contemptible scheming, and of course the fulminations from the machine organ will be redolent of the perfumes of their dastardly corruption. The Republican party has been a great and good party and has a history of which many a Groenbaoker is proud, for he was a participant. But machine bossism was not what they contracted for and they •ought in a purer and better organization a relief from the burdens or the traitors to true Republican principles. The operations of these ex pert machinists is now fast disintegrating the grand old party and still they tush madly on with their machine, seeking to keep themselves in power bjr creating equally as great havoe in the other parties as they have In their own. The “rag baby" was never healthier than new and tax clothed and in nut bight kinds are caring for the lusty ohild. and don't anybody forget it, they will attend well to their businee*, A GREENBACKER.
