WEAVER. Be Write* a Vl«orou« Letter to FrMk •iHfhcc, of Peusjrlvuia-WordN tbai Mr. H«cim Caaaot yrct. Gen. Weaver has written the following letter to Frank Hughes, of Pennsylva­ nia, in reply to Hughes' letter denounc­ ing him for opposition to the Fusion electoral ticket in Maine : INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 27. To the Hon. Fraak Hughes, Pottsville, Pa.: I find in the Democratic daily of this city a telegram s:gned by yourself, and directed to uie. concerning my opposition to a division of ! ttie electoral ticket with the Democratic party j in Maine. I have not received a copy through the office, bnt the same was received in this city last night by a prominent Democratic poli­ tician, and. as we would naturally expect such a dispatch to be placed in the hands of our enemies, I am inc lined to think it is genuine. I *rn opposed to a joint electoral ticket with the Democratic party in Maine or with the Republican party in West Virginia, as has been requested in that State, and will prevent such action in any section of the Union if within my power. I am just from West Virginia, and, as the people will lxjar me out, I openly opposed such fusion ill every speech delivered there. I am in favor of an o;x'ii. straight light against the Democratic and .Republican wings of the money power, and have no choice between them. If von had *o take your choice and go where you belong, it is impossible for the Greenback part;- to over­ throw the old parties by forming an alliance with them to place them in power, nor can an honest man have any respect for a party organization that will do so. You. sir, have the right to differ with mo in opinion, but yon mistake the senti­ ment of the Greenback voters oi' this nation if you think they arc in favor of dividing our electoral ticket anywhere with either of the old parties. Wo shall see whether Solon Chase and myself have forfeited our claims to the confidence of the people by the course we have taken in Maine, or whether you have forfeited your standing in the Greenback party by elan- derin" the men who are risking health and even life in defense of the right iu building np our organization. As to your insinuation that I am actuated by sinister motives in anything said or done by me during the campaign". I de­ nounce you as a slanderer and a calumniator. JAMES B. WEAVER. A Circular Letter to the (irrrnbacken. The following is a circular letter ad­ dressed to the Greenbackei s of the Union by their caudidate for President: ' INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 27. 1880. To the Groeuback-Lalxir Men throughout the United States: I earnestly request that von have struck off by the thousand tor circulation in each county full extracts from Mr. Bayard's New York sjx-ech, in which he says that the Demccratic candidate for President and Vice President, and the Democratic part v. are in favor of his bill to destroy the greenbacks, and that they will carry out that policy. Publish the lhiyard resolution, with the full extract from his speech, so that the people may know just what it is that the Democratic partv and its candidates arc pledged to carry out. The issue is now iiiuy made up. Let every Greenbaeker in the Union arouse himself to the real situation and bi-and as an infamous traitor to our holy cause any man, without regard to his former standing in our party, who attempts to transfer our voters to either of the old parties.

Not being accustomed to speaking publicly, I have drawn off the few words that I will say in advance of the geutle- , man who is to follow me. [Taking a roll of manuscript from liis pocket, the General read.] In view of the well-known character and ability of the speaker who is to address yon to- ; day, and his long public career and association ! with the leading statesmen of the country for the past twenty years, it would not be becoming in me to detain you with many remarks of my . own. But it may be proper for me to account ! to you. on the first occasion of my presiding at a political meeting, for the "faith that is in me." I am a Republican, as the two great political parties are now divided, because the Republican party is n national party seek­ ing the greatest good of the greatest number of its citizens. There is not a precinct in this vast nation where a Democrat cannot cast his ballot, and have it counted as cast, uo matter what the predominance of the opposite party. He can proclaim his political opinions, even if he is one among a thousand, without tear and without , proscription. There are fourteen States, and localities in some others, where Republicans have not that privilege. This is one reason why I am a Republican, but I am a Republican for many other reasons. The Republican party assures protection to life. projK'rty, public credit, and the payment of the debt.-; of the Government, State, county or municipality, so far as it cr.n control. The Democratic party does not promise this. If it does, it has broken its pronnse to the ex- i tent of hundreds of millions, as many Northern Democrats can testify to their sorrow. I am a Republican as between existing par­ ties, because it fosters the production of the field and farm, and of manufactories, and it en­ courages general education of the poor as well as the rich. The Democratic party discourages all these when in absolute power. The Republican party is a party of progress and of liberality toward its opponents. It en­ courages the poor to strive to better their con­ dition ; the ignorant lo educate their childreu, to enable them to compete more successfully with their more fortunate associate*, and, in tine, it secures an entire equality before the law of every citizen, no matter what his race, na­ tionality, or previous condition. It tolerates no privileged class of men. Every one has the : opportunity to make himself all he is capable of. Ladies and gentlemen, do you believe this call be truthfully said in the greater part of fourteen of the States of thus Union to-day wliich the Democratic party control absolutely V The Republican party is a party of principles, the same principles prevailing wherever it has a foothold. The Democratic party is united in but one tiling, and that is in getting control of the Government in all its branches. It is for in­ ternal improvement at the e\Duisti-*>fr"~T"*~-* it.

CHAIRMAN" AND FELLOW-CITIZENS OF OHIO--not of Ohio alone, because Illinois is here, and Pennsylvania is here: For a wel­ come so great and so warm I beg yon all to re­ ceive a stranger's hearty thanks ; and yet not all a stranger, because I find the Western Re­ serve jKxipied with those whose brothers and whose kindred are neighbors of mine. This is. indeed, a grand meeting. Its presid­ ing officer is the most illustrious citizen of the repnblic. It is held in a grand Republican Htate, a State which, I trust, will give to the country the ne.xt President ol the United States. I see the woods and even the rafters are full of them. Ohio is the cliild of Virginia. Connec­ ticut ceded the Western Reserve, but Ohio is the child of Virginia. Ohio is 77 years old this year. Within the memory of men still living the tomahawk and the searing-knife did deeds of savage .cruelty where now temples of religion, temples of education, and temples of industry outglitter each other in the broad sunlight of a wonderful civilization. Wheu Ohio began her jteople were few, and they were strangers in the land. She began with 45,000 , people. To-day she has 3.200.000. Geologists say that your soils, fertile and rich as thev are. m-cding only to lie tickled with a hoe to laugh with a harvest--they say that more than half of them came from far. far distant regions-- ! clays and gravels washed by the surge and the drift of gigantic primeval forests. This is typ­ ical of the people I see around me. Not only f nun New England, but from Old England, from Inland, from Scotland, from cold Norway and Sweden, from warm, sunny France.from every clime where humaiiitv straggles, came to Ohio men and women willing and eager to eat their bread in the sweat of their brow. What brought these men and women here? What made Ohio the rendezvous and asylum of strug­ gling humanity in all nationalities? Liberty and free labor. Ohio, the child of Virginia, as she rose from her cradle, turned her back upon the precepts and examples of the mother State, i The people who came here of all nationalities were hound by one common tie : they worshiped one God under different forms, and they IK - i lieved iu the batherhood of God and the broth- , crhood of man. Here, on this soil, parent and child have illustrated two opposing systems , of civilization. Ohio, respecting the digiiity of labor, believing honest labor tho true founda­ tion and passport to all reai progress like make restitution. The court held that he was guilty of larceny. greatness, has risen meteor THE Irish Royal College of Surgeons has lately severely cautioned its mem­ bers against having any communications there are 10,000 miles of railroad and I with homeopatliists. into the very zcnitjli. of the great republic. Virginia, believing that labor is degrading, that drudgery is menial and base, that capital shonld own labor, has stagnated and weltered half smothered in the pool of servile labor. One of these systems has prospered exceedingly; the other system has been enervated, has remained prostrate, has cursed and rebelled, and at last drowned itself and slavery in its own blowl. Hand in hand with respect for labor has gone in Ohio what we have learned to call the Amer­ ican system. That is a system of laving duties 011 imjxirts so as to tax those which come in competition with our domestic industries. What has been the result of tliisV Diversified enterprise. The farmer has found at his own door a market for his productions, and the manufacturer has sold to the farmer, and American labor has found reward, not in the starving wages of the Old World, but in wages which could buy the comforts and the luxuries of life. In the inexorable logic of events twentv years age 011a of the systems triumphed iu the choice of national rulers. By a clear, plain majority the people chose for President Abra­ ham Lincoln. You may well cheer him. for Lincqln was one of those who darken nations when they die. The Virginia system It fused to abide by the result, and uplifted the bloodv banners of revolt, plunged the country into a red sea of revolution, drenched the"lend with blood, buried it with taxes, and draped it in mourning. Ohio sent 300,00ft of her bravest and her best to tread a path over burning plow­ shares--for what ? In order that the great re­ public or human rights might not perish from the earth. The dark eclipse of war could not put out the bright torch of llbcrtv. of freedom and of equal rights for man. 'And Ohio has continued to prosper, until she stands to-dav one of the grandest, one-of the freest, one of the most glorious comnionwealhts in human history. Her sister State of Pennsvlvania and every other State which lias plie<T the plow, the loom, and the hammer; everv other State which before God snd man has believed in hu­ man equality and in the dignity and the rights of free labor ; which has clung to the system I of protection of home industries, along" with ; her has prospered also. But in the midst of ] all this prosperity a harsh voice rings through the land demanding a change. What change ? I Whence comes this cry for change ? Wuo wants a change V [Voiced, "• Hancock." " No­ body." and "Jeff Davis wants it"] Well, now, which do you mean ? One says Hancock, and anotlier says nobody. That makes me tiunk of a neighbor of my friend here [pointing to Gen. Grant], who told about his horses, and he said one looked so much like both that he could not tell the other from each. I ask you who wants a change, and what change? Is not the debt melting away ? Has not the interest charge--the grind­ ing feature, never forget, of all debts--been falling, falling, falling? Has not taxation rapidly disappeared ? Ia not the currency solvent, stable and honest ? What is the trouble ? The South wants a change. Whv ? 1- uie South unfortunate? Why? Mr. Presi­ dent, Jonah's gourd, according to the good book, grew as the South has grown, if wean- to believe tho wonders of the census. South Caro­ lina in ten years has increased 43 jx r cent, iu population. They are a wonderful growing people. \'ou know and Jl knew that there is but one way under God in which that census can he tnie, and that is by foreign immi­ gration. No, sir, it has fcecu a good State to go from. As to immigration iu South Carolina, let me say iu passing that, having taken some pains to ask, 1 am able to soy that m ten years the foreign immigration to South Carolina amounts to exactly 137 persons. I i have read from distinguished sources that this ; census in South Carolina is not impossible. I I say it is, for a great many reasons, one of which I only I am going to give you. Whenever in a State you lind three men where befon* there were only two, ninety men where liefore there 1 were only sixty, you may be sure that the i>ro- ; duction and consumption and the hundred | other tell-tale tests wiil testify to the fact.

According to Mr. Buchanan, if a 1 State went out of the Union, why, it oughtn't to do it. but if it did. what was to be done about it? Jere Black, his Attorney General, advised him that if a man rebelled lie must not be molested by the troops, biit that a Federal Marshal should be sent out to bring him | in.

INBERSOLL Scathing Review mt the BallM-Bax Frauds ia the South. [Extract from Col IngersoU's Kockford Speech.] i Of what use is free speech, if frand is to hold in its slimy hand the ballot box of the nation? There is in this country one King; there ia un­ der our flag one Emperor, one Czar, one su­ preme power, aud that is the legally-expressed will of a majority of our people. That is the King, and any man who will poison the source j of authority, any man who will put an illegal { Tote in a ballot-box. any man who will count j an illegal vote after it is put in, any man who will throw ont a legal vote after it is pat in, is a traitor to the great principle upon which this | Government is founded, and the time ought, to i corny when we werild hold in supreme dotcsta- I tion. execration and contempt sir- m:>" who | would put in the ballot-box an illegal 1 vote. Every American citizen should keep his hands pure ; every American citizen should for tweutv years. It baa suffered all the ago- nies of official famine. Not a bite for twenir years. The Democratic party to-dav is a vaat ' aggregate official appetite. Who are you gain* ' f to trust ? Will we trust the Southern States to j collect the revenues of the Union? In foor ' years, with the Internal Revenue Department, j we have collected of inte;naltax •f itl UNM.WWai ! a cost of about 3 per cent. This in four yean. 1 During four years we have captured, destroyed, ; and bin-led 3,874 illicit distilleries in Southern • State*. Remember it ; we have captured and indicted 7,084 Democrats in Southern State#, charged with defrauding the revenue of the country. The Southern people, resisting the collectors of the Federal tax, in the last fofcr' 4 years, have shot and killed twenty-five rwr- ; nue officials, and have wounded fifty-tire; and now in the Southern States--that is, in many of them--every Revenue Collector, every ! officer connected with that branch of the GOT- 1 ernment, is provided by the Internal Revenue Department with a breech-loading rifle and m 1 pair of revolvers. Are they the gentlemen to I collect our revenues? Will von dope ad on them I to pay the interest on fl.4(M\000.0()o and the cor- I rent expenses of this Government ? It went do. I neard a storv of a couple of Methodist : minister., who had been holding a camp meet- ins-. and after they had preached a week one said to the other : " L»t\-j take np a subscrip­ tion.'1 '• Good," said he. So he passed his hat, gave it to a brother, ana he passed it around, and finally came back and handed it to the preacher, and he turned it over 011 the pulpit, and there was a lot of old nails, matches, toothpicks, buttons, and net one solitary cent: and the other preacher said, looking at it: "Let us thank God.' and the owner of the hat said. " What for ?" and the other replied, " Because von got your hat back." If we depend upon the Southern States to col­ lect the revenues of this country we won't gel ovi iiai back. want item i»ow then, my friends, if yon wan speech, if you want an honest ballot, if raa want the revennesof the coizntry collected, VMB the Republican ticket, ' -9 mm sources and all the means to conquer with, i say, "Iain willing to abide by the decision of BLAME.

In tho first place, in the M.ijoi General to do : suspended the writ of j eities no man was allowed to vote who-came j habeas corpus, proclaimed martial law, and put in armed troops as supervisors at the polls. A Senator James G. Blaine, of Maine, spoke at 1 Wheeling, W. Va., on the afternoon of the 38th ult., to an audience of nearly 10,000 people. : Senator Blaine said that the present ( ii> the United States is an anomalous one. Ib ; . haracter and many of its aspects are without , precedent. Never before in a free Government | was a party in power, with abnndant prosperity ' all over the land, whose continued supremacy : was ever seriously contested. He exhorted the Republicans to be of good cheer, for the people j of the United States know enongh to stand still when they stand well. When the War of ' the S|Miiish Succession was involving the continental power.- of Euro;*; in difficulties, j George. II. expressed a fear for the safety of the Ministry, but Sir Robert Walpole assured him that Hi* Majesty need have no fears so long as , wheat was 16 shillings a quarter and every man could get a good day's wages for a good day's ' work. The Senator would make the same in- , swer to any man who was afraid of the verdiot of tlie people being unfavorable to the Republi­ cans in the present campaign. This answer would be conclusive, but that the Democratic party considers that it owns, without any con~ 1 sideratiou of their material interests or thede- ; sires of the constituency, 13S solid electoral votes : " and." the speaker added, "of thislS®"**" West Virgiiuu is drafted on for Virginia, he thought, needed a i»»«ireed from I tion of emancipation.

Without making any charge* of a want of patriotism against the DeiiuK-rata now, the i-jx>aker advised his hearers in case tliey were in doubt as to what might happen to take out a policy of insurance and let well enough alone, it had been said--he was glad to remember it -- that Democrats fought for the Union in the war. So a great majority of them did. and were deserving of all honor. John A. Logan, of Illinois, was e Democrat Iw-iore the war, but when the Southern wing of that party drew the sword against the Government it took him not the twinkling of an eye to decide which side he was on. and when the war was over Democracy had become to him a faded remembrance of the thing it was. Senator Conkling directed the at­ tention of his hearers, and particularly those who will vote for the lirst time this fall."to the fact that it was the Republican party which had carried 011 the Government during the war aud maintained the public credit and the nation's from a foreign country until he luid been hero five years. J'hey began allowing them to vote when they had been here four, and if the Dem­ ocratic party diu, probably the Wiiig party would have done it if the foreigners would have voted the Whig ticket, but they wouldn't. After a while they aliowd them to vote in three years, in two years, and it was not long nntil they met them at Castle Garden and marched from the ship directly to the polls. All over our country we have had a contest with regard to the removal of county-seats, when all the people at one side of the county were for remo.al, and all the people 011 the other side again-t removal, and the North side would hOr that the South side was going to cheat, and the South would hear that the North was going to cheat, and, as a re­ sult, lx>th eh eat I'd: and thus, day by day, little by little, the sanctity of the ballot-box luwthe destroyed, and that party was car most ille- sinariest party that could get^jr. All that must, gal votes and get. theiu.try cannot endure, and be stopjx'd. or thi* of the Republican party honor both then and now.

Who invented the banking system which swept away the wild-cat and red- dog banks of the country ? Who passed the : laws in Congress which set tho squadron ill the ' field and kept the Hag flying ? Whose , President was it that said. "Nowhere in all i our liorders shall the sun ever again rise upon j master or set upon slave ?" Who rebuilded tho ' Governments in the South and lifted up the 1 nation's credit in the face of repudiation? j Who had made the paper dollar as good as told? He had read a statement of Speaker : Randall that the Democratic party had economized, actually denied themselves and fairlv gone without the bare necessi­ ties " of life till they had saved np , enough and squeezed out enough to enable ' the m to resume specie pavmeuts. Their econ- i omv was of the sort which threatened to starve the Government unless the Election laws were ' re pea led. That year thev saved money. It 1 ju>t so happened, however, that a Congres­ sional election was coming on. But, as pre- , dieted by the Republicans, the saving wan over* come bv the subsequent Deficiency bill, until the total was larger than the year before, as blood." l'hore arc two reasons, then, Why I am a Republican! ^ First, I believe in free speoch. Secondly, I want an honest vote. Can you trust the people of the South with the ballot-box ? Are you willing to let Alabama keep that sacred treasure--Alabama that cast in 187«» alont 10:1,000 votes for Tildon, but only a little while ago oast a Democratic majority of 92,IK)0 ? Alabama to-day is a Republican State if every man was allowed freely to vote his sentiment**; and you know it Mississippi is. to-day a Itepublican State; North Cnroliua is a Republican State : South Carolina in a Republican State ; Florida is a Republican State ; and everybody who kuows anything knows what I say is true. How are thfey kept iu the Democratic ranks ? Are they kept thtre by the meu who are trying to pro­ tect the ballot-box? They are kept there by the shot-gun, they are kept there by the tissue ballot, they are kept by force and fraud. Masked murderers in the dead of night ride to the cabin of the freudinan and shoot him down regardless of the shriekings of his wife and the tears of bis babes. That iti the way the Southern States aro kept solidly Democratic. Ah, but they say the total thi». vear was larger than the total I to me. " Are you willing thai the black people | tiou might be found naked of defense, bound I hand and foot, so that it might be murdered in j its bed. Thev prostrated the Government credit I aud hawked it in the street UDtil it trailed in ' the mire. Jaoob Thompson, of Mississippi, appropriations of the last Republican year, lie also understood Chairman Randal! to say that good crops had insured sjiecie payments. It so'happened, however, that the country had good«rops before the resumption of specie payments. Without such a law as the Resump­ tion act. first outlined by Gen. Grant, how could ' paper lie made equal to gold, whatever the character of the crops? What party had done 1 all this? What party had opposed it? He challenged any one to name a single instance hi I which the Democratic party had not carped at and hindered anv and all of these groat mcan- , ures. It was the sad misfortune of this time j that the South was the Democratic party, and I this seemed odd wln n it was remembered that the population of all the latelv-siceded States ' represented only 15 jx.r cent, of the piople of the United States. He had been at- 1 tacked for making this statement by a Democratic paper, which chose to regard it as an outrage. But this was a matter j of business, and the question being to what ; partv the country should l>e turned over. He | claimed the right to inquire into the position,, aims end hopes of the party which now sought the control of the nation. While the South 1 represented but 15 per _ _ i ulation. it represented 7 per cent of the a«- j sessed valuation of the American people. It controlled both houses of Congress, and was ; now endeavoring to make its control complete. I [A voice--" They can't do it"] They would do | it. too, uuless oh the 2d of Noveniiier a consti- - tntional majority say now (A voice--"We are going to.'"J "I hope you will," said Senator Conkling. "But I never consider anything 1 done u:itil it is finished." The Senator substantially repeated that por-, tion of his New York speech bearing on the dis­ appearance of the Republican vote in tlie South, the control of the Democracy in both houses and the use thev had made and would be liable toimikeof the'power. "And let me tell Gen. Hancock. ' he added, "and those who support , him. tnnt, should he lie chosen, wlienhe become,-. President, he will lie as clay in the hands of the jiotter ; as the sheep before his shearers. He was dumb and opened not his lfloutli. ' In closing Senator Conkling said: "You have nominated as candidates men who have proved their intelligence and litness iu con­ spicuous spheres of public action. You have • behind these candidates a party which has been ' all the time for twenty years in the public view. ! The fiercest light that ever beat upon a throne i is not brighter than the light in which the Re­ publican party has continually been S'-"n.

From the sepulcher of huried epochs, j from the tombs of nationalities that have gone ! down 111 darkness and in blood, from every i clime where limni.u rights are trodden under i fo.it. from the Old World, from distant China ' and Japan, from underneath every sun beneath whose beams humanity struggle^, there comes a prayer and a hope for us. It is not that we mav fight. The world has seen us fight. No nation in Christendom will ever seek a quar- sliould control the South? " If the hi:'ok peo- }• pie are in favor of lioerty, and the white people | are opposed, then I want the black people to I control. If the black people believe that this is I a nation, and the white people there say it is a simple confederacy, then I want tlie black people to control* the South. If the black ; iM'ople are in favor of an honest vote, if the ! black people are in favor of freedom of speech, j if the L-Umk people are in favor of absolutely guarding tho ballot-box from fraud, and if the { white people are on the other side on these qut*tious. then I say let the black people rale that country. I think more of a tilack friend than I do of a white enemy. 1 think moje of a black man who loves liberty than I do of a white man who hates it I tliink more of a black man who upheld our flag iu war than of any white man who has tried to tear it down. That is my doctrine. I think more bf tlie man trampled down than I do of the traiupler. 1 think more of the man stolen from than I do of the thief. There is another thing. Wo have not only got to have free speech, not only got to have an honest ballot, hut we have got to raise a revenue in this country. We owe to-day nt of tho total pop-^ j onc billion nine million dollars,--a Demo- ~ ~ ** crtic dc!)t. Democracy is the greatest luxury we ever afforded. | Applause ana laughter, and cries of "Hit them again.' ] We have got to pay that debt. Why? If we don't we will be eter­ nally disgraced iu the eyes of the civilized world. When onr 'money is only worth 80 cents on the ] dollar every American falls 20 per cent, below j par. When our money is at par. we I are. Whon we cannot pay our bonds I we feel that we are a dishonest ]>cople, but j when onr bonds bearing only 4 per cent.
