weaver Caught in the Act.

CINCINNATI, August 5.-The En-
uuirer's Parkersbnrg(W. Va.) cores
pondent telegraphs as follows: During
General j. b. Weaver's speech III
Stephenson's grove, near this city, last
Monday, he denied emphatlcally Ghe
charges of collision made by one Ed
wardy in the Enquirer, and this morn,
ing's Enquirer contains another denial
made by the General to a Wheeling
correspondent. Wonder ifhe will deny
the truth of the charges after reading
the following: The special in the En-
uuirer aroused suspicious that there
must be some fire when there was so
much smoke. Consequently sharp
eve was kept on the candidate for
Greenback suffrage while here, with
the following result: After his speech
at Stephenson's grove, instead of hold
ing open court at his hotel, he had
disappeared in a hack, which convey
ed him up town, and while his consult
uency were boiling over with patriot
ism and an anxiety to shake the hand
of the representative of popular SUI
frage, he was closeted in the house of
citizen up town, with several promi-
nent Republicans. He remained there
quite a length of time. Whatarrange-
ment was entered into by the quartette
deponent saith not just at present, but
the fact of such conference is estab-
lished. Again, just before leaving,
| General Weaver and certain proml-
nent Republican eX-office holder ana
one of the local Greenback leaders,
were in a close cOnfab at the depot,
and a reliable gentleman overheard
General Weaver tell his friend 1--WE
can beat the Democrats if you will &c
to work. You must send to Chicago
for lot of circulars campaign docu'
ments,) circulate them among the
Democrats, and they will take a great
MANY votes from them" To which
his friend replied there would be nc
difficulty in raising the money neces-
sary to defray the expenses, and thai
they would do all that was necessary
to carry out the instructions. Genera
| Weaver then took out of his pocket Q
couple of badges and gave one Of then
to a prominent Greenbacker who wa
present at the interview, and the Othe
10 his Radical friend. From the con
versation or explanation which ensueC
my informant is certain that Weave
has his instructions from the Radica
managers to put confidence in certain
Republicans wherever he may go, an'
to invest them with this badge, TO in
dictate TO persons behind the scene
that they are accredited agents Z
whom confidence can be.placed. Othe
developments are being made whicl
show TO the satisfaction Of many Dem
oerats who went into the Greenbacl
party through what they cOnsidere'
true and patriotic motives, that the
are being used but as tools Of pOlitlea
. tricksters to defeat the Democrats
party, and as rapidly as the truth
) being developed, they are droppinl
out Of the ranks and returning 10 th
old party.

RANKIN DEMOCRACY.

From the Brandon Republican we
take the following report of the meet
inc of the democracy held in Brandon
last Monday.
Gen s. ID, Lee, who was present III
thc interest of the A. Il M. Coiiege,
during the ab.ence Of the commlltec
On resolutions for the purpose OF pre-,
pairing its report, was called upon nv
made a most excellent address. WINE
Gen. Lees position prccluded nm
from delivering political speech, ne
cave some personal "reminiscences OF
Gen Hancock, with whom he served
in the United States Army in 1878,
which were exceedingly Interesting;
His testimony to the manliness ana
nnrity of character which the great
pomjnee of the Democratic party bore
then, ms he bears now, was lis'eiieu w
with marked attention.. Ihe Ihei,le
70 which Gen. Lee principally ue-
voted himself was the necessity Oh w
agricultural education to the youth ol
Mississippi, and was handled III u
most mastery and convincing man
nor. and the statistics which he adj
duced in support Of every postulate he
presented were clinching and conVliic-
mo. 1t is evidence of SURPRISING
nhility that Gen. Lee should, at Il
uolitical meeting, where great polltl-
cal enthusiasm ab0unded, he able lo'
nearly an hour to hold his audience
closely attentive to the discussion %
matters wholly disconnected' VIII
party politics.
Gen. Lee was followed by Col. Chas
T.. Hooker in speech OF about al
hour,s duration. Col. Hooker eXcellet
himself. His was not only an apl'
and exhaustive speech in matter, pu
"A glorious one in diction ana IN man
ner of its de livery. His scathlhg re
view of Garfield's record was ohl.
eoualed by his splendidly eloquen
paneeyric of Hancock. His defehc
of the Democratic party since it cam'
into power in the House OF Represen
tatives, and subsequently in the Sen
ate. was superb-convincing ana uh
assailable. We know of no more &C
complished or impressive orator Il
the South. a. ro-
Mai. e. Barksdale followed Co
Hooker, and as he always does, mau
an able and brilliant effort. lie wa
greeted with marvellous ENTHUSIASM
and held his auditory spell boun
from the beginning to the end OF ~
speech. In augmentation the speec
was mastery and thorough, and
was illustrated by fecundity OF "
and Il copiousness of eloquence thaI
characteristic of the man. His laud'
tions of the Democratic platform an
nominees were in the best taste an
form, while his scathing reoukes lev
eled at Garfield and the Radicals wei
invincible in force and matchless
iuvective.

Aberdeen Examiner: me par
doning of Thos L. Morrow by Gov
Stone for the killing of man by the
name of White, in Washington county

one and it is hard to understand the
grounds upon which conviction was
obtained.
