 FoRT WAYNE, Oct 3.-GeneralJ. B. Wea- yer remained in this city over Sunday, resting at the home of c. Orf. Tomorrow he goes to Grand Rapids and thence to Illinois and Iowa. General Weaver prepared the follow ing card last night for publication:
 q have just read the statement of Dyer D. Lum published to-day. This statement is baee, treacherous and false in all of it's essen tial features. The following is truthful statement of moneys received by me from all sources since my nomination for President: Chicago Express about $500, D. A. Hopkins Anseraca1o Sentry, Greenback paper of New York, $2OO, Hon. Peter Cooper $40O, various small contributions at various points, say S1OO Hon. R. J. Chambers through Mr. Murch $50. Immediately after my nomina- ton MT. Geo. B. Jones' of Albany, N. Y., advanced out of his own funds at my re- quest S4OO, since which time he has sent me, in small sums from time to time in all $4O0 more, making a total from Mir. Jones of $500, for which he holds my receipts and 8 total from all sources of $1 ,695. Out of this have paid the expenses of my long and laborious campaign, and have contributed to others as follows: To the Greenback Cen, tral committee of Alabama $35O, to the Greenback Central committee of Arkansas S1OO, expenses of the New York meeting $4S, to S. H. Randall and other -Greenback workers $75, in all $57O, leaving me but $1 ,125 to defray my personal expenses and those of my little son who has been with me about month. This falls short $100 of defraying my actual expenses, and know personally that the National Executive con- mittee is in arrears several hundred dollars for documents sent out to the people I am thus particular in the statement so that my friends and the public may know exactly what have received and just where 1t came from and further state that I do not know nor have ever asked where the gentleman obtained the money they may have contribu- ted as above stated, nor do care in the least. I do know, however, and most particularly assert, that have never requested either di- rectly or indirectly, personally or through another, contributions from the Repub- ican committee or it's agents, nor have I the promise pr hope of receiving any money from such source. The people of this nation have heard and read my speeches during the campaign, and can certify wheth- CT they have been delivered in the interest of the Republican party. The soicitude of Lum for the Democratic party in the States where have been laboring is pathetic, and his fear that have confounded Mir. Bayard with the Democratic party is most touching. He evidently apprehends that to build up the ignore the Democratic party here also. Should such be the case cannot help it. I treat both parties alike, and compel them to face the record have made. I am making an open fight for the integrity of my party and the welfare of my people against the old rotten organizations. I defy all the traitors in Christendom to injure me in the least. I go from this place to Michigan, thence to H. linois and Iowa. Yours truly,
 J. B. WEAVER.
