view large number Of men, both white
and black, have been employed to visit
all parts of the North making speeches,
telling the people of the North that
they are oppressed, bulldoozed, and not
allowed fair count. They thus hope
to incite a sectional feeling against the
South which will cause the people of
the Ncrth to back them in their Efforts
to place the ballot boxes in that State
| in the hands of United States Marshals.
In my various conversations with
loading Greenbackers and Republicans

! pressions of opinions, etc, which wish
! to give in this article, IN order to show
that in private they express far differ
emit motives from those expressed by
them in public, aud they are therefore
deserving our people az TO thor real
sentiments.
GEN. WEAVER SAYS:
In addressing his audience, Con. Wea-
YER says that tho financial issues are the
ones for consideration, but in u CONVEX
sation with Judge Rice aud Mr.. Dim
mick (RcputIicans) he said Financial
questions are of no Importance; tho main
object is to overthrow tho Democratic
party in tho south, and it can only DO
done through the Grcenback party. The
only hope for Republicans in The south
| is under tho name Of Greenbackers and
they must unite with them" He said
to party of workingmen who called on
him, when charge of All unfair count

election the best remedy was 'to hang q
few to tho nearest tree. That's what
they would do in his State, ard he adj
vised thom to do likewise in Alabama"
He remarked to mo time and again that
he would make it hot for the people of

dorse the Greenback doctrine.

fight we will make it lively for them"
He said to Major r Randolph Of Biz
miugham, and myself: ave have sent
mon down South that they didn't dare
to kill, and while the people of Alabama
are on their good behavior we are get,
ting in the work." He repeatedly said
that it was the intention of the party to
send down men with sufficient force to
protect them, and that any opposition
on tho part of the Democrats would Ia
speedily met by force. l asked him 70,
