~hlch @ouid be, pE'5Sably, nled soon. and
sheu thes ssfe the fSreeubackers would

THESE c0Qcl1slOus Of Mr. Weston are correct.
@hat becomes 0f the fset that Democrat
has Ueen - " 2-hIuxt0n fer the express Iur

" a-hlngt0n both against Ar. COmstock and
myself as Butler GFeSnbackers, and Of abus-
I've lelters against Mf. Comst0ek b. Geo. ID.
sanford AMI Others, making u hls greatest
crime that he Was aNffesu0ackeff Why Was
Il that in hls recent interview ~ith fOstlnAs-
ter General Villas, 3 gentleman here we'll
knoEu la told - hIm that 1o ila- had
been Informed that ComsIock Was recon-
mending neafly ali Greenbsckers for offices
Oul here, And II 10 reelection Sas intend
ed Why tid lhe Democratic enemies OF Mr.
v. ". Seeiey, candidate for collector AT
Grand Haven, make their strongest point
against him that he Was a Oreeubacker. I.
Also every couceiv sbls reason has been given
for my defeat for collector. The Democrat
-ays II Was papers / nled. and when chal-
lenged 10 10 state, the paper does not reply.
Nill innes Ia ry ing 10 help the Democrat
Out specifies the paper filed by NE that de-
I feated me, and 10 proves that 30 such paper
VA ever forwarded or nleI. Now l. NJ. Nes-
ton ha- answered this troublesome question
most explicitly IN these words, The rea-
sons Why Mr. Burhugame was not appoint
"a. etc. were personal reasons. Now
Mr.. Weston you are invited to give the pub
I lie those personal reasons.
Further. II no reflection was intended
/ upon Mr. COmstOck, how, let me ask. can
the Grand Rapids pOstmastership, the Grand
/ Haven cOllectOrshIp, aud the western district
marshalship effect tho Greenbackers favor
ably For surely Mr.. Blair and Mr.. Kelsey
are not Greenbackers, and Mr.. Seely Is not
/ the man they propose 10 satisfy the Green
/ back party with. Yet these are the persons
recommended by Congressman COmstock
/ for the above named position, and If Mr..
/ Neston's theory of satisfying the Greeuback-
| ers with some OF those offices l. carried out
/ then another insult Is hurled at Mr. COmstOck,
/ by total disregard of his recommendations,
and what Is more, Mr.. ComstOck knows
/ enough 10 know II, II Mr.. Weston does not.
I More anon.
Very truly, etc, yours,
