A REPUBLICAN IN DISGUISE Marshall
Jewell, the magnificent and cvcr-hopeful
chairman of the Republican National Com
mittee, furnished General Weaver, the Green
back candidate for the Presidency, with funds
to operate with in Alabama, and the result
was that the honest Grccnbackcrs there dis
covering that Weaver was simply Rcpubl-
can emissary in disguise and gave him the
cold shoulder. Subsequently Weaver trans
ported himself to Maine, and again cssaved
the part Oft Republican canvasscr in. Green
back uniform. The result there also was disas-
trous to the Republicans. Weaver, however
seems desirous OF carrying out his part of the
contract, and accordingly is doing all he can
to promote Republican success by defeating
the fusion ticket in Maine, by which four
Greenbackers and three Democrats would be
elected. The Democratic Grcenbackers are
beginning to see through the deceitful pur-
poses of Gen. Weaver and many of their
prominent leaders in Indiana, Ohio and else
where are openly declaring themselves for
Hancock and against the false and fraudulent
Weaver. What n confession of weakness it
is for the party which boasts of being the
particular champion of "hard money" to be
seeking a copartnership with the rag ba by"
element.

Politics IN TIE SECOND DIsTRIcT.-Th
Baltimore Gazette of last Saturday saws:


Good reports were received yesterday at DEM
ocratic headquarters of the condition of things
in that stronghold, Hartford county. The De-
mocracy, though large number feel they have a
grievance, are determined to present a united
front to the enemy and they repudate generally
the plan suggested by q few of the most discon-
tented of having dual convention in the district.
The leaders, as well as theyeomanry ofthe party,
say they will do nothing to cause any break In
the party ranks, but that they will, for the sake
of the general welfare, give an undivided support
to the Democratic nominees. Col Edwin H.
Webster is an able, amabc and worthy gentle
man. but he is on the wrong side and the people of
Hartford will not forsakc their principles and
follow him into the Republican camp. Mr.
Herman Stump, Jr., has withdrawn from the
contest for the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress, and Hartford will have no other name to
present for that honor. Mr. Stump has proven
himself worthy Of the cncomums of his friends
and has shown that he holds the public good far
above his own personal interests lie retires
from the contest with the respect and good will
of all.
Appearances now would indicate that the re-
nomination of Hon. j. Fred. &. Talbot will be
unopposed. AS the district Is overwhelmingly
Democratic there is no doubt but that he will be
elected.

Southern war CLAIMS" Senator Bayard, in
his speech at the Democratic mass meeting
in New York, last week, clearly pointed out
the fact that it would not be in the power
ola Democratic administration, if SO dspos-
ed, to make any such appropriation of the
public moneys. The fourteenth amendment
cffectually dcbars it, and before such claims
could be paid the Constitution itself would
have to be. amended by the concurrent vote
of the Legislatures of two-thirds of all the
States The Republican party must now in
vent some fresh campaign story to take the
place of this one which Gen. Hancock has
