GEN. wEAvER,s FLANK MOVEMENT
A scathing Letter from an Indignant
Grsensaeker-SEhy~H He will Vote -----
for Haucecf.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:-Sir:
The candidate of the National Green
back-Labor party not only assumes
the right 70 sproclaim the general
principles Of the part,,, but, ike the
Pope, he issues his pronunciamentos,
debating how and with whom and
under what circumstances each COM.
munity and voter shall exercise the
right Of franchise.
In Name he could not soil the inn
maculate purity of his Republican
tastes by speaking on the same plat
form or at the same meeting with any
friend Of Gen. Hancock. He did his
utmost to defeat Gen. sPlaisted for
governor by denouncing all fusion,
or, in other words, by attempting to
drive every Democrat from voting
the Greenback ticket. Had his ad-
vice been followed Murch and Ladd
would have been defeated as well as
Plaisted.
To show his first impudent dicta-
tion to the Greenback voters of Maine
has been received, it is only neces-
sary to look at the vote of the dele
gates to the late convention to ap-
prove or disapproye of fusion. Wea-
yer proclaimed accommodation to
any Greenbaeker who favored fusion ;
yet out of 485 delegates AL voted
for fusion. IA against. Every victory
Of the Greenbsck party has owed its
success to fusion, and every defeat to
the mulish stupidity of refusing to
unite with the enemies of the Credit
Mobllier and Returning Board
lknaves.
! Gen. Weaver not only did his ut
most to defeat fusion in Maine, iI
the interest of the Republican party.
and for the rewards offered him BY
its National Committee, but he hur'
ried to New York to strengthen his
co-worker, the Hon. Roscoe Conk
| ling, in his denunciations of the
South, his section Trades, and his
diabolical policy of bloody shirt Sian
ders, by openly denouncing all Goa
Ilition with Democrats, declaring tha
| he preferred the election of the party
which originated, and is nov push
ing, with all the intensity of section
al hate and with all the power o
moneyed force. the very measures
the Greenback- Labor party was orig
mated to put down, and which thu
same Gen. Weaver was nominated Il
defeat. He tells New Y ork that i
must spurn supporter of Gen. Han
cock as it would the devil, and W
tell him rs Greenbackers that "
, spurn his advice as that Of paid
unscrupulous, and shoru-sighte'
! bigot. 1s.ss.s-f.ss
Gen. Weaver, having proclaime'
3 his hatred of everything Democrat
at New York, Albany, Elmirs, Roch
ester, and Buffalo, hurries to Indian
70 defeat, if possible, all coalition i
that State that may, IN any wise, pro
: mote the chances Of Gen. Hancock
. election. His vanity has apparent
led him to believe that he is, the die
tator of the Greenback party, an
that by virtue of his nomination

Hon. Hendrick B. Wright at Chicago

Gen. Weaver oyerestimates his pos
