Gen. Weaver hasn't n great deal of
sense, or he wouldn't be greenback
candidate for the presidency. But he
has sense enough to know that he is
not going to get any electoral votes II
he permits himself to be used as de-
GOV for Gen. Hancock; and as there Is
an attempt now making all over the
country to carry the greenback vote
over to Hancock, Weaver has issued IA
proclamation branding as ''infamous
traitors all who attempt to "transier
the greenback voters to either OF the
old PARTIES His attitude is very an
moving to the democrats, since the
greenbackers hold the balance of
power in numberof important states,
where the democratic managers have
fully counted on sweeping the green
back vote. At the last election in In
diana, that of 1878, the greenback party
threw 80, 4l5 votes and carried several
important counties. Ii is now main
