Cen. Weaver, the Greenback can

AIatyr. another Greenback apostle,
reneats the story. The Democrats of
that section have not changed. They
NAV not murder their political oppo-
nents, but they will make their voting
of no effect. And now Mr.. Ramsdell,
the editor of the National Pte'o, the
Greenback organ at Washington,
comes back aud relates his experience.
Mr.. Ramsdell is not a Republican.
He did not 90 to Alabama and Missis-

reverse. As Greenbacker, he would
probably prefer the election of Dem

Greenback heresies. His meetings
we're advertised, but when he appeared
to speak these peaceable Democrats
whom he was defending against Re-
publican ISLANDERS appeared at his
meetings and demanded "division OF
the time" in order that they might
make "bloody shirt" speeches. Not
content with this trenching upon
the rights of the Greenback speaker
the Hancock party began to disturb
his meetings. AT one place a band
was stationed near the platform and

Then Mr.. Ramsdell was handed note
