How THE TRUTH WAS MADE PUBLIC.
These facts have como to nv
knowledge little by little. The M
tliral desire TO protect our party
from scandal, and not sec a cause
VIC loved sacrificed through tic
treacllcry ola few, has induced mo
to remain silent heretofore; hut
now that tits becoming matter
ofgencMl suspicion, and General
Wcavcr's course has called forth
the protest Of such honorcd leaders
as Judge Hughes, Of Pennsylvania,
and others, / think, both for ny
own sake, as well rs your rcputa-
ton and the integrity Of the party,
the truth should be known.
When our party becomes a por-
ton of the machinery necessary to
elect the man to the Presidency
who contemptuously referred to us
in the discussion Of the Weaver
resolutions ia Congress MS 'stlc
ofadying party and who
called upon Ills party associates to
meet the abcast,n the "monstcr,"
and sthrottle" it, I think forbear-

WRITTEN PROOFS OF THE coSspII-

wEAvEN's RELUCTANCE TO WET
REPUBLICAN STATES.
In spite Of many Of these start
ling facts, I ho;,el on, trusting that
Weaver would visit Republican
States in response to urgent re-
quest. Michigan. PENNSYLVANIA,
Kansas, Ohio and other States have
begged for him, but no, he has
nnI : visited those States, where,
in accordance with the terms Of
the bargain between the Ecpuhli'
cans and the spawn Of u dying
party," the Democracy could be
injured. TIc has been constantly
in the field since the 18th Of July.
Has he visited Il. Stale where his
presence or words were not cspec-
Tally designed to injure the De-
niorracy only?
Most of these are facts which
have recently come to your knowl-
edge. | can readily understand
why you should wash your hands

SICK AND DEsGusTED WITH THE
TREAcHEEY OF OUR LEADERS,
knowing from personal knowledge
and correspondence that several of
our State organizations-notably
Indiana and New York, are man
aged in the interest OF the Republic
can party, against whose robber
legislation We organized, and tho
fact that tho men who essay to
lead our party today arc dupcd
and made the tools Of crafty and
sclleming time serves, renders my
connection with the Committee, as
ut present managed, no longer pos
