Gen. Weaver has written the following
letter to Frank Hughes, of Pennsylva-
MIA, in reply to Hughes letter denounc-
ing him for opposition to the Fusion
electoral ticket in Maine:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 81.
To the Hon. Frank Hughes, Pottsvine, Pa:
lind in the Democratic daily of this city q
telegram signed by yourself, and directed to-
me, concerning my opposition to q division of
the electoral ticket with the Democratic party
IN Maine have not received copy through
the Office, but the Same was received in this
city Last night by q prominent Democratic poll
tician, and, as we would naturally expect such
enemies, am inclined to think it is genuine.
I am opposed to a joint electoral ticket with
the Democratic party in Maine or with the
Republican party in West Virginia, as
has been requested in that State, and will
prevent such action in any section of
the Union II within my power. I am just from
West Virginia, and, as the people will bear me
speech delivered there. am in favor OF an
open, straight fight against the Democratic and
Republican wings of the money power, and
have no choice between them. If you had to
take your choice and go where you belong, it is
impossible for the Greenback party to. over
throw y, tho old parties by forming an alliance
with them to place them In: power, nor can an
honest man have any respect for q
party, organization that will do SO. You,
sir, have the right to differ with me-
in opinion, but you mistake the senti-
ment Of the Greenback voters OF this
nation if you think they are in favor of dividing
our electoral ticket anywhere with either of the
old parties. We shall see whether Solon Chase
and myself have forfeited, our claims to tho
confidence of the people by the course we have
taken III Maine, or whether you have forfeited
your standing in the Greenback party, by SLAM
dering the men who are risking health and
even life in defense of the right in building up
our organization. AS to your insinr1ation that
am actuated by sinister motives in anything.
said or done by me during the campaign, I de-
n0unce you as slanderer and a calumniator.

To the Grecnback-Labor Men throughout the United

I earnestly request that you have struck of

full extracts from Mr.. Bayard's New York
speech, in which he says that the Democratic
candidate for President and Vice President,
and the Democratic party, are in favor Of

will carry out that policy. Publish the Bayard
resolution, with tho full extract from his speech,
so that the people may know just what it is that
the Democratic party and its candidates are

made up. Let every Greenbackee in tho Union
arouse himself to the zeal situation and brand
as an infamous traitor to our holy canse any
man, without regard to his former standing ia
our party, who attempts to transfer our voters
to either Of the old parties. J. B. WEAVER.
