tending 10 your own canvass, has
prevented you from having per

been managed in your absence. ]

whom I mail Il copy Of this letter.
some facts which it is alike my
duty 10 report, and yours 10 take
cognizance OF. Probably nothing
/ may say will surprise you, as
directly or indirectly many Of these
facts have come to your knowledge
within the past few weeks.
WORKING IN TIE INTEREST OF RE-
puBL1cASs.
That l may be understood, / dis,
tinctly make the charge that the
Grccnback National convass, as
now conducted, is manipulated in
the interest Of the Republican par,
", and General Viewers expenses
borne in a large measure fr0mNthc
Republican fund. This is scri;
Gus charge, but it can be substan-
tiatcd invcry detail, and I believe
that my duty to the National Com
lnittce requires that the facts should
be laid before them.
You will remember that on the
9Th Of July there was a meeting Of
a portion of the National Commit
ice at the st. James Hotel, New
York. There were present OH that
occasion, besides ourselves, Gener,
al Weaver, Leo BrandalI, Edward
Daniels and George 0. Jones. We
were also assisted with the advice
and counsel Of Senator John p
Jones, Of Nevada. at that meet,
ing General Weaver suggested tlit
name Of George 0. Jones, Of New
York, for tic financial agent Of tlle
National Commilte to raise funds
for the campaign. Nothing was
said at that time asto.the methods

PUBLICAN CAMPAIGN FUND.
Immediately following his mp
pcintNcnt Air. Jones requested til,
i:lc. 10 be communicated 10 Senator
Jones and ex-senator Dorsey
Secretary Of the Republics,
National Committee. This WI:
done, but how much money
WAS raised no ono will probably eve
know from Mr.. Jones; but it il
probably from other source to Sta:t
some where nrar the sum he llH'
expended in the National canvass
When General Weaver returned
from Arkansas / took occasion t.
demonstrate with him ON the mat
ter, stating that ! had been inform
ed by--H member Of our Executive
Committee that George o. Jone:
had received $j,CN0 from the Re
publican campaign fund. Genera
Weaver replied that it nude 10 diff
ference now much had been re
rvived, for this tour in Alabam;
and Arkansas would have bccl
simply impossible without the aiG
Mr.. Jones extended to him. liz
further stated TINT in Alabama ht
llal received from Mr.. Jones be-
tween nine hundred and one thou
sand dollars, and several hundred
while in Arkansas.
WEAVER WORKING UNDER 1SsrRUC
TloNs.
General Weaver left that day fol
Maine, was accompanied from Nen
York 10 Buston 10y Mr. jones. Or
that trip il was arranged that Gen
eral Weaver should dcnounce fu
sion in Maine on every available
occasion, and take such measures
us in his judgement would be most
conducive toward creating disal
lection between the allied forces O
Grecnbackcrs and Democrats
This agreement l heard Of in New
York before General Weaver hat
made single statement TO thu
effect in Maine. How well he triet
to fulfill his contract you know
