BLAINE.
An Eloquent Speech by the Distin-
guiShed Son of Maine.

senator James G. Blaine, of Maine, spoke at
Wheeling, W. Va, on the afternoon of the 28th
ult., to an audience of nearly 10000 people.
Senator Blaine said that the present campaign
in the United States is an anomalous one. Its
character and many of its aspects are without
precedent. Never before in free Government
was party in power, with abundant prosperity
all over the land, whose continued supremacy
was ever seriously contested He exhorted the
Republicans to be of good cheer, for the people
of the United States know enough to stand
still when they stand WELL, When the War of
the Spanish Succession was involving the
continental powers of Europe in difficulties.
George II. expressed fear for the safety of the
Ministry, but Sir Robert Walpole assured him
that His Majesty need have no fears SO long as
wheat was 16 shillings quarter and every man

pref.
Gen. Weaver has written the following
letter to Frank Hughes, of PennsyIva-
MIA, in reply to Hughes letter denounc-
ing him for opposition to the Fusion
electoral ticket in Maine:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. q.
To the Hon. Frank Hughes, louisville, Pa:
I find in the Democratic daily of this city a
telegram signed by yourself, and directed to
me, concerning my opposition to a division of
the electoral ticket with the Democratic party
in Maine. I have not received copy through
the Office, but the same was received in this
city last night by a prominent Democratic poll
tician, and, as we would naturally expect such
q dispatch to be placed in the hands of our
enemies, I am inclined to think it is genuine
I am opposed to a joint electoral ticket with
the Democratic party in Maine or with the
Republican party in West Virginia, as
has been requested in that State, and will
prevent such action in any section of
the Union if within my power. am just from
West Virginia, and, as the people will bear me
out, 1 openly opposed such fusion in every
speech delivered there. I an in favor of an
open, straight fight against the Democratic and
Republican wings of the money power, and
have no choice between them. If you had to
take your choice and go where you belong, it is
impossible for the Greenback party to over
throw the old parties by forming an alliance
with them to place them in power, nor can an
honest man have any respect for
party organization that will do. SO. You,
sir, have the right to differ with me
in opinion, but you mistake the senti-
ment CT the Greenback voters of this
nation if you think they are in favor of dividing
our electoral ticket anywhere with either of the
old parties. We shall see whether Scion Chase
and myself have forfeited our claims to the
confidence of the people by the course we have
taken in Maine, or whether you have forfeited
your standing in the Greenback party by SLAM
dering the men who are risking health and
even life in defense of the right in building up
our organization. AS to your insinuation that
I am actuated by sinister motives in anything
said or done by me during the campaign, de-
nounce you as q slanderer and ealumniator.

power to divert public attention from them,
and by so doing draw back into our fold all who
have unintentionally erred in Judgment. Let
us look with commiseration at the humiliation
now resting on the eloquent Voorhees, and the
gallant Ewing, the fiery Breck, the spirited
Bright, of Tennessee, and the les other Demo-
cratic members of Congress who hold seats in
that body through their advocating Green
back principles; for surely they are objects of
pity when such man as Belmont again places
himself at the head of the Democratic
column and proclaims to the world
that it makes no difference whether the Repub-
hcan or the Democratic party wins at the COM
ing election, for with either the present system
of robbing the people will be continued, and
all the Infamous acts of past legislation in the
interest Of incorporated capital will be carried
out. While Bayard repeatedly by authority,
informs the country that both the candidates
for President and Vice President on the Demo-
cratic ticket are pledged to the destruction
of all legal-tender notes, and the perpetua-
ton of the national-bank system of
money monopoly and usury. Surely Green
back Democrats will no longer talk about
votes cast for Weaver and Chambers
being thrown away when such eminent author
tiles as Belmont and Bayard pledge the Demo-
cratic party to hard-money principles. The
gold-bags of the Rothschilds must be the
future pillow of the Greenback Democrats.
The success of either Garfield or Hancock will
bring no comfort to them. Their votes viii be
thrown away, whichever wins. Let them,
then, if they will, continue to vote for the in
consistent and recognizable doctrine of mod
ern Democracy, while we pursue our old way,
and march to victory.

Gen. Weaver Sustained by the New
York and Philadelphia Greenback-
erS.


New YORK, Sept. %.
To the Hon. James B. Weaver:
The action taken by the representatives of
the National Greenback-Labor party at their
last convention in Maine finds no favor among
the members of that party here. Since that
action was taken have received communica-
tons from over two-thirds of the counties in
this State, every one of which commends your
wisdom IN opposing fusion everywhere, and
Scion Chase patriots in resisting it in that
State. The cunning of the money power could
not be more clearly manifested than it has been
in holding ont the tempting bait offered our
friends in Maine in order to demoraliZe and dis
organize our party throughout the entire bal
ance of the country. The question now is,
shall that device succeed, or shall we pursue
straightforward course and demonstrate that
the intelligence of the American people has
more than kept pace with the cunning
and duphcity of professional money-lenders
who, throughout the past time, have absorbed
all the accumulatiOns of honest industry?
The unanimous opinion of all here is that to
touch one or the other of the old parties is to
be tainted, and to embrace either is death. l
sincerely hope that our friends in Maine will
soon discover the plot that was laid for them
and hasten their return to the fold Of the only
party through which they can ever hope to re-
tain the confluence and support of the people

entire campaign, and especially that contained

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 81, 1880.
To the Observation-Disclosures Men throughout the United
States:
earnestly request that you have struck off
by the thousand for circulation in each county
full extracts from Mr.. Bayard's New York
speech, in which he says that the Democratic
candidate for President and Vice President,
and the Democratic party, are in favor of
bis bill to destroy the greenbacks, and that they
will carry out that policy. Publish the Bayard
resolution, with the full extract from his speech,
so that the people may know just what it is that
th Democratic party and its candidates are
pledged to carry out. The issue is now fully
made up. Let every Greenbacker in the Union
arouse himself to the real situation and brand
as an infamous traitor to our holy cause any
man, without regard to his former standing in
our party, who attempts to transfer our voters
to either Of the old parties. ]. B. WEAVER.
