HOW MUCH DID A RAVING RANT
ING WEAVER COST-THE
REPUBLICANS

The country has been diverted by a
raving, frothy Weaver who figures as
the Greenback candidate for President
1t begins TO crop out everywhere that
he is in the regular pay of the Repub-
lican executive Committee, and is try
ing to do as much Of their dirty work
as he can. The question comes up
how much does he get for it? The
Washington Post pertinently pro-
pounds this interogatory: "How
much money has been used TO buy up
Weaver-the Presidential candidate of
the alleged Greenback party"'
"Weaver has been phenomenally
active i'm this campaign. He went to
Alabama to abuse the Democrats
there, and when they carried the
State by an immense majority-some
$4,000 increase over 1S7G-he returned
North and lied about them. How
much did he receive for that? He
went to Arkansas and repeated his
Alabama tactics. How much did he
get for that? He went to Maine and
worked hard to defeat the Fusion
State ticket. How much was he paid
for that? He is now in Indiana en-
gagged i'm stumping the State against
Hancock and Landers. How much
is he to get for that?
"Weaver is a foul-mouthed hypo-
crite and a disreputable political trick
ster. All the world knows that. He
has been hired by the Republican Ma
tional Committee to help defeat Gen.
Hancock. The world knows that,
also. What is his price? This is what
thp country wants to know"

NOTES OF ALARM"

The Republican local managers in
Ohio and Illinois care very much
alarmed" They are afraid their States
will be lost this fall. Hancock is
creating great havoc in Ohio, and
Hancock and Trumbull, together,
are stirring Illinois to its profoundest
depths. The grand result is likely to
be the casting the electoral votes of
both States for Hancock, and the cleo
ton of Democratic Governor in the
Commonwealth of Illinois.
This we have on the authority of
the Cincinnati Gazette and the
Chicago Tribune reliable Republican
organs, both. The direful truth had
to be admitted in order to arouse the
Republican forces to sense of their
danger.
These are most encouraging symp-
toms.

Extraordinary Adventure.

Two Partisan merchants, strongly
united in friendship, had each one
| child of different sexes, who early con-
| tractcd II strong inclination for each
other, which was cherished by the pa
rents, and they were tlattered with the
expectation of being joined together
for life. Unfortunately, ut the time
they thought themselves on the point
of completing this long-wished-fo
union, Il man far advanced in years,
and possessessed of immense fortune,
cast his eyes on the young lady, and
made honorable proposals; her parents
could not resist the temptatation of 4
son-in-law in such at1luent circum-
stances, and forced her to comply. AS
soon as the knot was tied, she strictly
enioinCd her former lover never to see
her, and patiently submitted to her
fate, but the anxiety of her mind
preycd upon her body, which threw
her into lingering disorder, that ap-
parently carried her oft, and she was
consigned to her grave. AS soon as
the melancholy event reached the
lover, his atftictiOn was doubled, being
deprived of all hopes of her widow
hood; but, recOlecting that in her
youth she had been for some time in a
lethargy, his hopes revived, and hur-
riCd him to the place of her burial,
where Il good bribe procured the Sex
toms permission to zig her up, which
he performed, and removed her TO
place of safety, where, by proper
methods, he revived the almost eXtin-
guished spark of life. Great was her
surprise at finding the state she had
been in; and probably as great was
her pleasure at the means by which
she had been recalled from her grave.
As soon as she was sufficiently recov-
cred, the lover laid his calm; and his
reasons, supported by "A powerful in
clination on her side, were too strong
for her to resist; but as France was no
longer a place of safety for them, they
agreed to remove to England, where
they continued ten years; when a
strong inclination of rcvisiting their
native country seized them which
they thought they might crafty, and
accordingly performed their voyage.
The lady was so unfortunate as to
be known by her old husband whom
she met i'm public walk, and all her
endeavors 10 disguise herself We're in
etfectual. He laid his claim to her
before court of justice, and the lover
defended his right, alleging, the hus-
band, 10y buying her, had forfeited his
title; and that he had acquired a just
one, by freeing her from the grave
and delivering her from the jaws ni
death. These reasons, Whatever
weight they might have i'm court
where love presided, seemed To have
little effect ON the grave sages of the
law: and the lady, with her lover,
not thinking it safe To wait the deter
mnation of the court, prudently re-
tired out of the kingdom.

LoGAN.s VICTORY

The Springfield convention adjourned

and Pennsylvania state conventions, sue

into line for Grant by John 4. Logan
