To He Editor Of he Ndiioad, Republican.
SIR Iho democratic organ OF this city made
much ado over worry insignificant matter OH last
saturday. II has for some time been Illuminating
iurious ialsehoods against General VIEWER The
most pointed and explicit of these Is that he Is in
the employ OF the republican party. Well knowing
mat SO base charge against q man Of such
character and standing as General Weaver
unless corroborato1 by proof other than the mere
assertion Ola partisan papcr, tho editor stopped
out with Joy at the iOct that ono d. d. Lum has
nodo The Same charge.
Now do not hesitate TO soy that In tho minds Of
All who have the misfortune to know this fellow
Lum, his testimony damages the Indictment. lie
Is utterly unlrustworihy and unreliable. BY pro-
tending TO be n radical rcformer and backing
MS preehuons with an imm0nso amount
Of cheek, check, he some years ago imposed
for a short period. But they soon came to under
stand him. and they spurncd him ont of their
party, and he was driven from the state BY the con.
tempt Of his former associates Something over q
year ago he camo 10 Washington, and by appealing
TO tho sympaihios of Colonel Crnndul and others
who were ignorant Of his true character and
OF congressional committee. and also
as clerk of tho national committee
OF the national grconbaek party. Ho Is not nor
ever was, secretary of that committee, but simply
an assistant OF the secretary, Colonel Craudal. For
some weeks past ho has professod to have In his
General Hancock which no said would turn tho
whole Irish yoto against him. Falling to sell this

lions with the democrats Hcprotended to DO ablo
To prove that General Weaver had actually had the
expense OF his southern campaign partly paid By re-
publican funds. lie has doubtless succeeded in
selling out his purchasers suppo.ing that his baro

part OF tho pricO Is to bo paid out OF tho public
treasury IN tho form OF u per diem salary as clerk

own funds directly is not known, save by this ia.
Goblin traitor aud his purchasers-probably only q
few dollars TO lightun the pathway Of his landiady
with ray ofhope until he gets his back pay.
In conclusion, notice the transparent fraud of
this pretended expose 1t Is u notOrius fact
fellow Lum was the violent opponent OF fusion
between tho nationals and democrats. Now he
uenounecs General Weaver for opposing fusion nnd
bases his charge Of working IN the republican
Interest on the fact that no stands out boldly and
squarcly against fusion. The democratic party Is
welcome TO this pcstent fellow. When 1 first

belong They confer lasting favor upon the
national party by leaving 1t. In no other way
could such schawags serve our party so eii1Ontly.
III the New York Word iS the chief organ of tile
democratic party, and believe II Is conceded to
be. the odorous Lum is not 10 be treated with any
respectful consideration, but on the contrary with
the contempt he molits by his newly chosen asso-
ciaes The World iutimales very clearly that
Lum got his back up because he thought there
was swag somewhere that he was not permitted
