weaver,s Response to Frank Hughe


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 27.-In answer to
Frank Hughes letter, sent out from Philadel-
phia last night, denouncing Gen. Weaver for
his opposition to the Fusion electoral ticket in
Maine, Gen. Weaver to-day replied as follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 27.
To the Hon. Frank Hughes, PottsUiHe. PENN:
find in theDemocratic daily of this city
telegram, signed by yourself and directed to
me. concerning my opposition to 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 prominent Democratic pol
itician, and as we would naturally expect such
a dispatch to be placed in the hands of our en-
emies am inclined to think it is genuine. 1
am opposed to a joint electoral ticket with the
Democratic party in Maine or with the Repub-
lican party in West Virginia, as has been re-
quested in that State. and will prevent such
action in any section of the Union if within
my power. 1 am just rom West Virginia,
and, as the people will bear me out, openly
opposed such fusion in every speech delivered
there. 1 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 have, take your choice
and go where you belong. 1t is impossible for
the Greenback party to overthrow the old par
ties by forming an alliance with them to place
them in power, nor can an honest man have
any respect for party organization that will
do SO. You, sir, have the flght 10 dl1fer with
me in opinion, but you mistake the sentiment
of the Greenback voters of this nation if you
think they are in favor of dividing our cleo
toral ticket anywhere with either of the old
parties. We shall see whether Scion Chase
and myself have forfeited our claims to the
confidence of the people by the course we have
taken in Maine, or whether you have forfeited
your standing in the Greenback party by SLAM
dering the men who are risking health, land,
even life, in defence of the right, in building
up an organization. AS to your insinuation
that I am actuated by sinister motives in any
thing said or done by me during the campaign,
I denounce you as aslanderer and calumniator.

OHIO REPUBLICANS.
A Magnificent Meeting at Warren.
SPEECHES BY GEN. GRANT AND
SENATOR CONKLING.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 2S.-Generals Grant and
Logan arrived from Chicago this morning on
their way to the Republican mass meeting at
Warren, 0. They were met at the depot by
ex-senator Cameron, who arrived yesterday
from Mentor, where he had been in consults-
tion with Gen. Garfield. Congressman Towns
end, and committees from Cleveland and War
rem met the party and escorted them to the
hotel. where all breakfasted after which they
took special train for Warren. Efforts are
being made to have Gen. Grant and Sc nator
Conkling at the meeting here tomorrow night.
On arrival at Warren procession escorted
the distinguished orators to the wigwan',
which was speedily filled, and overflow meet
lngs We're organized outside Gen. Grant was
introduced as President of the main meeting
He read speech from manuscript explaining
why he was Republican. Relating his travels
through the states that were in rebellion he
said: My receptions were not by the Union
class alone, but by all classes without dstnc-
ton. had free talk with many who were
against us in the war and who had been
against the Republican party ever since. They
were in all instances reasonable men, judged
by what they said. believed them then and
believe now that they seriously want q break
up in this solid South in its political condition
They see that it is to their pecuniary interests
as we'll as to their happiness that there should
be harmony and confidence between all sec
tons. They want to break away from the
slavery which binds them to- party name.
They want pretext that enough of them can
unite upon to make it respectable. Once
started the Solid South will go as KuKluxism
did before, and as is so admirably told by
Judge Tourjee in the FOOLS Errand.
When the break comes those who start it will
be astonished to find how many OF their
friends have been in favor of it for long
time and have only been waiting to see some
one take the lead. This desirable solution can
only be attained by the defeat and continued
defeat of the Democratic party as now con-
stituted.
Gen. Grant wss followed by Senators Conk-
ling and Logan, after which Gen. Grant, Sem
ators Conkling, Logan and Simon Cameron,
L. p Morton of New York and Gen. Beaver
took special train for Mentor to pay brief
visit to Gen. Garfield and then proceed to
Cleveland tonight. Thirty Thousand people
were atthe meetings.

Tom Ochiltree'S Sign.

Everybody who has been in Washingto Of
ten since the close of the war knows Tom
Ochiltree, and he is not stranger in New
York. A good soldier, believe on the Con-
federate side, he became Republican at the
close OF the war, and favorite of President
Grant, who appointed him United States mar
shall for Texas when that office was wo. til
good deal more money than it is now. The
majors father was one of the most eminent
jurists in Texas, before the war, and had a
great deal of trouble with his son, who though
not bad, was full of mischief AT length when
Tom approached young manhood the old
judge determined to sober him down by study
and so took him into his own law office, wher
he kept him pretty closely at his books for
about three years Tom was a good scholar
made satisfactory progress, and was finally ad-
mitted to the bar and taken into partnership
by his father. A few months after this the
judge as he was starting for Dallas one morn.
ing to attend long session OF the court looked
up at the old weather-beaten sign which had
been above his office door for quarter of a
century, and told Tom he thought it was time
to have a new one, "and, Tom, I" he said, 'sup-
pose you attend to it, get good sign and have
the name OF the firm painted upon it, The
old gentleman went to Dallas and was gone
several days. Returning, when he came in
sight of the little frame office he thought it
looked strange and riding nearer, he found
stretching clear across the building an i'm
mense sign-board on which was painted in
huge letters
T.P. Ochiltree and, Father,
Councillors and Attorneys at Law.
Tom was at his desk deeply absorbed in
working upa case, and never could under
stand why the old man should have caused
that sign taken down.

INDIANA.

Republicans United and Confident-Ar-
engagements to Prevent the Importa-
ton of Kentucky Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Sept. pa gentleman who
arrived here today from Indiana, and who has
travelled through considerable portion of
that State during the past ten days, says the
Republicans have not since the close OF the re-
bellion been SO thoroughly united and deter
mined as they are in the present campaign.
There is no dissension in any part of the State,
and every Republican is thoroughly aroused
to the Importance of carrying the October
election. The Democrats are counting re-
ceiviDg large fraudulent accessions from Ken
lucky, but system has been devised by which
it is believed that colonies from that State will
be prevented from invading Indiana and as
sisting the Democrats in October 1t appears
that the Republicans of Kentucky have per-
fected an organization by which the entire bor-
der will be watched night and day between
now and Oct II, and all persons crossing the
river into Indiana will be reported to the Re-
publican managers in that State. The U. S.
Marshal of Indiana is heartily cooperating
with the Vigilants of Kentucky, and it is be-
lieved that all persons who cross from Ken
lucky and who attempt to vote in Indiana in
October will be promptly arrested and brought
to punishment. This gentleman also reports
that the Republicans, while not undertaking
the strength, determination and ingenuity of
the Democrats, are confident that the Repub-
lican State ticket will be elected.
