EA1OE = An Address To the Butler Men
 And Greenbaclkers of New Haven
 And Vfc1nIty-Used As Feeder
 TO the DemoeratIcParty and To Aid
 Free Trade.
 Following is an address as above stated from Albert J. Morton: The opposition to IF c. Baldwin, the Peoples candidate for Con gress from this district, did not spring from jealousy nor malice or from any mercenary motive; but it originated and is conducted from purely moral standpoint. It is nor ality at war with rascality. It is the non aggressive repelling the political corsair. Having been sentinel on the watch tower have watched with deep interest the cause of our party and it's mismanagement by MT. H. c. Baldwin from it's birth to the present hour. And in his hands our organization has been used as 8 feeder to the Democratic party for his own selfish purposes. And al though 1t was hoped by myself ard many others years ago that Mir. Baldwin and those that aided him would eventually see their CT TOT in such a light that eventually they would return to the original intention that
 gave birth to the party-yiz., that the party should be worked as a straight organization,
 distinct in every feature and candidate from
 the old political parties s-theynevertheless still pursued the same course. And more especially is this true with respect to the Second congressional district Though ap- nerentlv bv tongue and pen advocating the principles of the party, he has for three successive congressional elections endorsed f and vigorously worked for the Democratic candidates for Congress, thus belie1ng hls pretensions and belittling the party. And
 at interviews between Judge Phelps and the
 Greenback managers of the congressional dis trict he (Judge Phelps) openly avowed that in case an election for President was thrown into the House or on any other great qdest1on that might affect either of the political par ties he would vote with the Democrats. -Mr
 Baldwin, nevertheless, supported him and old follies cropped out again when he tfhelps) consistent with this declaration dealt our par ty death blow by voting to recharter the national banks. Again two years ago our managers, directed by Boss Baldwin, went through She sham form of nominating O candidate for Congress for this district from the small town of Branford, ignoring as usual New Haven of eighty thousand people, which has boiled larger Greenback vote than all the towns in the district com bined, and will do so again, when straight candidate that the people know and who IS nominated by fair, legal convention is pre- sented And though it is said that this man Mr. Barker was an honest, sincere man, yet his canvass as handled by MT. Baldwin, who spoke through the towns in the district, was made subservient to the interest of Mir. Mitchell the Democratic candidate. And the ridiculous1y small vote boiled for honest Mr. Barker verifes, if any verifcations were needed, the truth of the above statement. And is 1t not clear that the many prominent Greenbackers who surmised that the whole thing was concocted in the enemy's camp were correcte We ask have we not produced sufficient evidence of this mans guilt to convict and exile him to his political Dry Tortugas for the remainder of his life. There are thousand evidences, out side of his letters that were published in the city papers here endorsing J. B. Sargent's views on the tariff question and his own statement in @ private conversation with MT. Joseph Purcell that he favored free trade
 and endorsed Mr. Mitchell on the Morrison bill, that he not only is 8 man who IS i'm bued with long standing free trade senti- ments, but is working with all the strength he has for the election of MT. Mitchell. And we the Seventh ward Green packers, shall continue in the future as we have in the past to oppose thls | MT. Baldwin as leader in any sense except ! the leader of his own relatives, and we de mand in the future an honest and straight | forward policy which shall be in the interest of the Greenback party solely; and that we
 can support no candidate, on whatever ticket
 his name may appear, who is known to be 1T ] sympathy with the free trade principles ot ! the present Democratic Congressman of thif l the Second congressional district. And MT 1 H. C. BaIdwln's address that he has cirUu1at
 ed through this district calling for thorough
 revision of the tariff ought to settle the ques l ton that he possesses this sympathy. So
 Butler men, reflect before voting,
