PLUM GROVE, BUTLER CO., KANSAS, September 19th, 1879

EDITOR: Gazette 
On the 9th inst. there was a Greenback meeting advertised at this place; Mr. Dillon, of Sycamore, called the meeting to order. After looking the crowd over, it was found that there was not a Greenbacker present to make a chairman of, so your humble servant had that office to fill. Calamity Sam’s speech killed all of the Greenback element that ever was here.
