4th. The National Greenback Executive
Committee is in communication with the Ma
tional Republican Executive Committee, and
the two committees were in secret session in
Chicago on August 9th. This was communi
Gated to me by Jesse Harper, a member ol
the Greenback National Committee.
9th. 1t is the present intention of the two
committees not to put Republican electoral
ticket in the field, but to put out Green
back electoral ticket with secret understand
ing that half are to vote for Garfield. This
course was communicated to me By Jesse
Harper, General Weaver, and George Tur.
ner, Chairman of the Republican State Ex.
ecutivs Committee, who will approve Of this
measure.
9Th. The Republican National Executive
Committee has promised financial aid to con-
duct the campaign in Alabama, and the two
committees which meet in Chicago are to de.
termine upon the amount to be used in this
State. The amount contributed will be be-
tween $4,000 and $50,000, which will be
used in supporting newspapers, paying the
expenses of travelling, speakers, etc.
7th. The Republican party has already
contributed money to conduct the campaign
in Alabama, in one instance as follows
George Turner, Chairman of the Republican
Executive Committee, called upon the Bir-
mingham postmaster for the amount he had
been assessed for campaigning purposes. Col.
onel Carpenter, Chairman of the Greenback
Executive Committee of Alabama, wrote to
Mr.. Turner and requested him to withdraw
his demand upon the postmaster in order that
he might contribute the amount to the Green
back party. Mr.. Turner did so, and the
money contributed by the postmaster was
used in the county campaign in Jefferson.
9th. That the Greenback party of Ala.
bama has, through Colonel Sloss, communi-
Gated with George Turner, asking aid of the
Republican Executive Committee in the way
of money. Mr.. Turner forwarded Colonel
oloss' letter to Washington to the Republi
can National Committee, with his hearty en-
dorsement, accompanied by the urgent re-
quest that the money be forwarded immedi-
ately. The facts here stated, and as con-
tanned under the 9TH charge, were told me
both by Colonel Carpenter and George Tur-
ner.
9th. The policy of the Greenback party is
to back their measures by force. They pro.
pose to send five hundred Northern men
South, with money to pay their expenses,
going in squads and accompanied by United
States Marshals. These men will occupy the
time until the November election making
speeches and endeavoring to excite violent
opposition to the Democratic party, and they
hope, by placing the polls in the hands Of
United States Marshals, and stirring up the
people to fight among themselves, that they
will be able to carry the election.
10TH The policy of the party is to arouse
a strong feeling at the North against the
Southern people With this view, large
number Of men, both white and black, have
been employed to visit all parts of the North
making speeches, telling the people of the
North that they are oppressed, bull.dozed and
not allowed fair count. They thus hope to
incite sectional feeling against the South,
which will cause the people of the North to
back them in their endeavors to place the
ballot boxes in this State in the hands Of Uni
ten States Marshals.
In my various conversations with leading
Greenbackers and Republicans, I have taken
down some of their expression of opinion, etc.,
which wish to give in this article, in order
to show that in private they express far diff:
erent motives from those expressed by them
in public, and they are therefore deceiving
our people as to their real sentiments.
GENERAL WEAVER SAWS.
In addressing his audience, General Weaver
says that the financial issues are the ones for
consideration but in conversation with
Judge Rice, and Mr. Dimmick, (Republicans)
he said, financial question are of no import
ance. The main object is to overthrow the
Democratic party in the South, and it can
only be done through the Greenback party.
The only hope for Republicans in the South
is under the name of Greenbackers, and they
must unite with them"
GEORGE TURNER SAYS:
In conversation with Mr.. George Turner,
Chairman of the Republican State Executive
Committee, he assured me that he was co.ope-
rating with the Greenback party and would
use his uttermost endeavors to assist them in
their State and National canvass. He ap-.
proved heartily of fusion electoral ticket
between Greenbackers and Republicans, eth.
er openly announced or secretly understood,
and was satisfied that if the Republican Ma
tional Executive Committee sent twenty-five
thousand dollars into the State of Alabama,
they could carry the State with the fusion
ticket.
GEN. REUBEN DAVIS SAYS:
Gen. Reuben Davis, Of Mississippi, said to
me am satisfied that we will get enough
assistance from United States Marshals to en-
able US to carry the election in November.
Mr.. Edwardy concludes his startling ex.
posures as follows:
I appeal to all who have, like myself, been
misled as to the intentions Of the Greenback
Labor party, to come out and say so, and Ia
Dor henceforth for the Democratic party.
When man finds he is wrong, the best way
is to acknowledge it, wipe out old scores and
start anew. Continue no longer to be made
dupe Of: The bullet fred by accident is as
fatal as that of the assassin. The aid given
by you in breaking up the Democratic party
and overthrowing home rule, though it may
be unintentional on your part, accomplishes
as fatal result as the effort Of our bitterest
enemies. Carefully consider what is contain.
ed in this article, and act upon it.
Respectfully,
w. M. EDwARDY.
