WEAVER'S TREACHERY.

Mr.. Dyer d. Lum, assistant secretary of the
National Greenback party, residing IN Wash
lngton city, writes letter to Congressman
Murch of Maine, withdrawing from the com
mlttee and giving as his reasons that the
greenback party as now run by their presi-
dental candidate Weaver, and their national
committee is used wholly as jackal to the
republican lion. He says Weaver was paid
$4,000 by Marshall Jewell chairman of the
Republican National Committee, to make his
Alabama and Arkansas campaign, and after
wards received other large sums from Jewell
to 90 to Name and break up the fusion be-
tween the greenbackers and democrats; and
is now IN Indiana, again under heavy repub-
lican pay, to induce the greenback republi-
cans to vote for Porter, and to persuade and
straight greenback ticket He adds that the
treasurer of the national greenback committee
is in intimate relation with the officers of the
republican national committee and Senator
Jones of Nevada; that heavy sums have been
paid HIM by the republican vice presidential
candidate Arthur towards making an active
campaign among the greenback democrats in
New York; and virtually confirms the state
ment made in other quarters that Viewers
bargain with Jewell is to give his entire time
until after the election to promoting Garfield's
success, for which he is to receive $4,000, the
greater part of which has already been paid.
In view of these facts which Mr.. Lum says
have come into his possession as secretary OF
the n. q. B. committee, he closes by saying,
81 am now brought to the point when in hon,
or to myself and to the committee l am com
PEELED to withdraw. Sick and disguised with
the treachery of our leaders, knowing from
personal knowledge and correspondence that

Indiana and New York, are managed In the
interests OF the republican party. against whose

EPIzOoTIC-The horse dlstemper known as
the ep'zootic, which prevailed so largely some
years ago and did so much damage, has again
broken out at the east, and is rapidly spread
ing over the country. A few days ago well
known veterinary surgeon who visited the car
stables in New York, reported that he did
not IN all the stables, find an animal that
was not suffering from the epizootc. The
complaint is also raging in Philadelphia,
where on Wednesday 5000 animals were sick
with it. The disease appears to be working
westward, and doubtless in short time its
prevalence will be as widespread as it was in
1872, Thus far, however, in New York, it has
been attended with no fatality. The plan is
now to keep the horses moderately at work.
A mistake, the surgeons say, was made at the
former visitation IN not working the horses.
1t resulted in their loss of appetite, and their
exhausted bodies were unable to Withstand the
ravages of the disease. Now the system is re.
versed, and the animals are compelled to per.
form modcum of work. When a horse re-
turns to the stable his throat, mouth and nos.
trls are rubbed with oil or warm water Then
he IS given as much cut food mixed with bran
as he can eat. If his bowels are in bad order
powdered nitre is given him. Pains are taken
also to keep the animals warm and out of
drourbtc

There is not day but we meet republicans
from the country who tell us they intend 10
vote for L. w. Brewer for states attorney.
They say that in purely non-political office
of so much importance-the states attorney
being the adviser and in large measure the
"bralns' of the board of upervisors-they
cannot afford to vote for third rate man.
Mr. Brewer is one of our best informed and
hardest working attorneys, has an excellent
and constantly increasing practice, his integ'
rity is unassailable-he enjoys great personal
popularity, and will go in on his merits even
if his party tall behind.

The attempt OF the Ottawa Republican to
explain away the votes of Cullom IN congress
hostile to the Irish people Is labor in vain.
The lndisputable fact that Cullom was not
only member in good standing for years of
the Know Nothing order, but was a candidate
for presidential elector on their ticket in 1856,
is all that need or can be said as to his feel
ings towards the Irish people, for nothing Is

people and the Roman Catholic religion

The Weaver demonstration at Streator last
Tuesday was not imposing, his audience being
made up manly of democrats and republicans,
and If the report Of his speech in the Ottawa
Republican, whose editor is the republican
candidate for congress, and favors Weaver un-
der the conviction that every greenback vote
for Barber is half vote for himself is fair
one, then the speech was triflng and incense
quential The only point in it was, that as Bay

New York spoke IN favor of retiring the
greenbacks, therefore all democrats are oppos-
cd to grcenbacks and should be opposed by
greenbackers! For the same good reason

greenbackers directly or indirectly aiding the
election of republicans 10 congress, because
the whole republican party Is individually
to the destruction of the greenback.
Yet Mr.. Weaver comes to Streator to aid the
election OF Cullen, an anti greenback republi-
can, 10 congress over Evans, democrat and
ardent friend OF the greenback. Why has Mr..
Weaver left Indiana, where his celebrations
to the greenbackers to stick to their own ticket
would hurt the republicans more than the
democrats, and come to Illinois where he
thinks his exhortations will have the opposite
effectf Mr.. Weaver, as anything but repub.
lican IN disguise, is humbug and fraud.
