WsaYer's Opinion of. Democratic Cheek
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 19.-Gen.
Weaver, in conversation today, spoke in
the most contemptuous terms ofthe DEM
ocratic party and their presumption in
assuming that the contest in Maine was
in any respect Democratic success;
that the Greenbackers have nothing in
common with the Democratic party,
though they do not object TO the support
of their votes. Gen. Weaver said that
the insoleEce of their course in celebrat-
| ing the Maine election when supposed
to be success. may be best appreci-
| ated by rendering that out of the
! 70, 600 votes polled for Mr.. Plaisted,
the Democrats polled only about 10000.
In a dispatch congratuiating Plafsted
on the contest in Maine, Gen. Weaver
| expressed his opinions very plain as far
| as the Democrats are concerned. Gen.
| Weaver, commenting on his dispatch,
says that the audacity of the Democrats,
| as evidenced in their consummate dis
play of cheek in attempting to make 3d.
00O Greenbackers pledge themselves 10
surrender to their 90, 600 is only equaled
| by their capacity for mischief should they
| get into power General Weaver SAYS
| he is greatly encouraged at the political
outlook of the Greenback party, and
though he does not expect to win in this
contest, the campaign will have the effect
of bringing the party into line, will
drive the Democrats out of existence and
make it the formidable competitor of the
Republican party for national success in
the future. He claims that the party
will poll 100000 votes in this cam!
paign. He left this evening for West
Virginia, where he will make several
speeches.
