The Greenback Pnrtx.
IT INSURANCE DUIIDINt, FRIDAY EVENING, Oct. 1st, 1880.

FRIDAY EVENING, Oct. 1st, 1880. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Dear Sir-In reference to letter published in Democratic journal of this city last evening, I wish to state that the prominent leaders of the Greenback party in this city do not believe any of the statements therein contained; but on the contrary, have every faith in the integrity of General Weaver. I would also add that it is believed that the letter in question is got up in the interest of the Democratic party by disappointed time server who has consistently advocated fusion with the Democratic party. We would ask the public to suspend judgment until General Weaver's reply is made.
 Yours truly, H. R. WRIGHT, Secretary Central Greenback Club.
