nm in Alabama, and they would all be
present at the joint meeting Of the COM
mittees IN Chicago on the 9th Of August.
5. It is the present intention OF the
two committees not to put a Republican
electoral ticket in the field, but to put
ont a Greenback electoral ticket, with
secret understanding that half are to
vote for Garfield. This course was COM
municated to me by Jesse Harper Gen.
Weaver and George Turner, chairman
of the Republican State executive CON-
mittee, who all approved of this meas
ure.
6. The Republican National Execu-
tive Committee has promised financial
aid to conduct the campaign IN Ala
bama, and the two committees when
meet in Chicago are to determine upon
the amount to be used in this State
The amount contributed will be be-
tween twenty-five and fifty thousand
dollars, which will be used in support
ing newspapers, paying the expenses OF
travelling speakers, etc.
( 7. The Republican party has Already
contributed money to conduct the cam
paign in Alabama, in one instance, as
follows: George Turner, Chairman OF
the Republican Executive Committee,
called upon the Postmaster of Birmins-
ham for the amount he had been as
sessed tor campaign purposes, Colonei
CARPENTER, Chairman Of the Greenoack
Executive Committee OF Alabama, wrote
| to Mr.. Turner and requested him to
withdraw his demand upon the Post
master in order that be might contri-
bute the amount to the Greenback
party. Mr.. Turner did so, and the
money contributed by the Postmaster
was used in the county campaign OF
Jefferson.
8. That the Greenback party OF Ala
bama has, through Colonel Schloss,
. communicated with George Turner,
> asking the aid of the Republican Exc
cutive Committee in the way of money.
Mr. Turner forwarded this letter to
Washington TO the Republican Ha'
tional Committee, with his hearty en
U dorsement, accompanied by the urgent
request that the money be forwarded at
once. The facts here stated, and as con
tanned under the seventh charge, were
told me both by Col. Carpenter ant
George Turner.
9. The policy Of the Greenback party
is to back their measures by force ant
- do by violence what they fail to do by
. other measures. They propose TO sen'
= five hundred Northern men South, Wit

polls in the hands of United State

fight among themselves that they WI

10. The policy of the party is
- arouse strong feeling at the Nor.
