A Boston dispatch says:
Several OF the most prominent manu-
fscturers Of Lynn, representing capital
in busiaess Of over 100000, have signed
card declaring that there is not, and has
not been, any organization there called
the Employers Union, and that there is
no such man as H. /. Morey, to whom it
Ia asserted the Garfield letter on the
Chinese question was written, and which
letter the General so promptly pronounc,
ed a forgery. The card Of the Lynn
manufacturers is as follows:
The undersigned shoe manufacturers OF
this city hereby state that there never
was any organization or association called
the Employers Union, and We do not
know any man By the name Of II. l..
Morey, who was ever employed by US or
q resident Of this city.

1t having been stated that q. L. ATorey
died recently, and that the letter was
found among his effects, it has been ascer-
tanned to-day that no male person by the
name OF MoTey has for several years lived
in Lynn, and that the death oil such per-
son has not been recorded at any time
during the present year at least. There
was no organization OF any kind OF en-

GARFIELD DESouNcEs THE BASE FORGERY.
On Saturday last Gen. Garfield sent the
following dispatch to Chairman Jewell, OF
the National Republican Committee, New
York:
I will not break the rule have adopted
by making a public reply to campaign
lies, but l authorize you to denouuce the
so.called Mercy letter as bold forgery,
both In its language and sentiment. Until
its publication, never heard Of the exist
enCe Of the Employers union OF Lynn,
Mass, nor Of such person as II. L.
Morey.
[signedl ]. A. GARFIELD.
In addition to the above strong and ex-
pllcit statements, we may very appropri.
ately add to them the following extract
from General GarGeld's letter Of accept.
ance Of the Chicago nomination, wherein,
in speaking OF the Chinese, he expressed
himself as follows:
The recent movement Of the Chinese to
our Pacific coast partakes but little OF the
qualities Of such an immigration either in
It's purposes or It's result. It Is too much
like an importation To be welcomed with
ont restriction; too much like an invasion
to be looked upon without solicitude. We
cannot consent to allow any form Of serv.
lie labor to be introduced among US under
the Ruise Of immigration.
