That's what ails that Letter.

The Republican press claim that Morcy.
the man.to whom is addressed the letter
in relation to the Chinese question, Deyer
existed. land that the whole affair is a
myth. This is known to be bold way
of getting rid of the effect of the letter, as
it is now positively known that Morey did
exist, and that the letter is genuine.
The Utica Observer says: William
| Nash of <the Reynolds Brothers shoe
| factory. in this city, was in Lynn in 1878
and for ten years before that. He work
ed the factory of Morgan IL Dore, in that
city, and went out with the other Crispins

mined to destroy the Crispins, formed a
union. opened an agency. and set machin-
cry at work to get outside workmeD, Mr..
Morey had charge of this agency, and
| distributed the men hired by it around
among the factories. Mr., Nash had no
personal acquaintance with this Morey,
but knew him as other Crispins knew him,
| by sight on The streets, as tho representa-
tive of the employers. who we're try

organization. and saw him daily. Mr.
NaSn says tnat the pfeteDce tnat tnere

which Garfield assigns him in his letter.
is absurd. Mr.. Nash furthermore says it
is not strange that the denial of Morey s
existence should be based upon the
authority of the Boston Traveller, because,
during the labor troubles in Lynn, the
ITa1etteT was one Of the worst enemies the
o:kiDgmen had to contend with"

Washington, d. c., Jan. %,
1S9O.-Dear Sir: Yours, in rela-
ton to the Chinese problem,
came duly to hand. [ take it
that the question of employees is
only a question of private and
corporate economy, and indivld
uals or companies have the
right to buy labor where they
can get it cheapest. We have a
treaty with the Chinese govern
ment which should be religiously
kept until it's provisions are alb
rogated by the action Of the
general government, and [ am
not prepared to say that il
should be abrogated until our
great manufacturing interests
are consulted in matter of labor.
Very truly yours,

The death Of ex- Governor FOote, on the 10th
Of May last, removes from the stage Of life one
who for over half . century has been prominent
in American politics. He was born in Fanquier
county, Virginia, September 20, 1900, graduated
ct Washington College, now Washington and
Lee University, in 1919, was admitted to the
bar in 1922, removed to Alabama in 1894, and
settled at Tuscumbia He remained there two
years, engaged in practicing Law and editing
Democratic newspaper. In 1926 he removed to
jackson, Mississippi, from which State he was
sent to the United States Senate in 1e48. He
took an active part in favor of the compromise
the candidate of the Union party for Governor
against Jefferson Davis, and after an exciting
canvass was elected over his distinguished CON-
petitor BY abeut thousand majority. In 1854
he removed to California and supported Mr..
Fillmore for the Presidency In 1853 he re-
moved to Mississippi and settled in Vicksburg.
In May 1859 he attended the Southern Conven-
ton at Knoxville, Tennessee, and made speeches
against disunon which attracted great attention
throughout the country When the war came
on he went with his State and was elected to
the NOnIcOcTdtc OOugTcsS. ne was OHleTly Op-
posed to President Davis, and openly condemned
his policy. While Grant was before Petersburg
and the Confederate Congress was passing last
ditch resolutions whistling to keep courage
up, Foote made most bitter speech, attacking
President Davis and declaring that he ought to
be impeached. He was greatly excited and
terribly in earnest, and in the delivery Of his
speech advanced down the aisle towards the
Speakers desk He concluded his peroration in
which he declared Davis should be impeached,
in these words-which we quote from memory
81 would here and now move his impeachment
If thought this house would sustain me-" The
speech created intense excitement.
Mr.. Foote has fought three duels In the
first, with Mr. Winston, of Alabama, he was
slightly wounded in the left shoulder; in the
next, with the celebrated s. 8. Prentice he again
Was slightly injured; in his last with ]. H. F.
Claiborne, neither was hurt
He was the author of book of personal rec
objections of large number of prominent char
acters in Southern history, entitled The Bench
and Bar of the South and South West"
Since the war he has been residing in Tennes-
zee and was appointed by Mr.. Hayes to the po-
sition which he held at his death
