Figlron Ilelley of Pennsylvania spoke at Indianapolis, Sept. I. Mr. Pigircn
used to be oit tho side of the people and against the monopolies and tha notional banks. Now he is for Hayes, hard ita-
passibla money, end the monster monopolies and robberios that , havo combined to crush industry, grind labor and starve the poor. Figiron pays thereare but two parties. He ignores the Independent Greenback party and makes out two without it. Eat ho will 1 find after the election that that there wa a Peter Cooper party in the fir-Id. Old Mr. Pigtron can never make two
parties out cf the Dcmperntisand Republican. There is but one of them. It is
seized by a Sentinel reporter, got hold
of reformer Brown's letter and he had it photopraphed and gaVo everybody a copy during his speech at Indianapolis,
August 30. He former Brown, it would seem, while hastily divine in hi hat
for his handkerchief to mop his mouth
aft r a square drink, flipped out this
fatal letter, which unperceived by him, was at once seized by a Journal fiend)
who without the least sense of honor or slvamo broke the "seal" and "compromised" all tho reformers at one sweep. A reporter says : 'In the light of truth, tbo letter is tin odious affair. Brown's mission to Louisville, the details of which Hendricks was not to know, was eiiuply to organise-. colonies of voters in Kentucky who could cross tho Ohio river in October and deposit their fraudulent votes. Of this fact there is no doubt: They did it successfully in 1868, and they intended trying the same thing in 1S76. Brown and. Mr. Watterson, tho reform Congressman, are the men entrusted with this dirty business,
and Brown agrees with Hendricks that he will
play his game so well that the latter shall not be compromised in tho matter.
