GAKFIELD'S HANDWRlTING,
More Expsrr Testimouv

One Of the most distinguished experts in
New York makes the following affidavit,
after a comparison of the Garfield Chinese
letter with other Of his writings:
"You ask me to compare the signature
on the three cards and the signature pre-
sented to Truth by the Hon. John Fox,
with the signature to the Morey letter.
''In all these signatures there are many
distinguishing features. Take, for in
instance, the crossings of the hair lines
with the body Of the letter j. They are as
identical as they can be, considering that
we do not expect them to be all erdctly
alike. Now, take the latter part of the as.
They all compare perfectly and also agree
with the letter in the slope Of the latter
or finishing part.
"The same beautiful capital G makes its
appearance the same identical and point
ed and finishing stroke is there. The as
are the same, especially in the finishing
part, which is always in the same curve or
finishing slant. The same + is there. The
j is but q repetition of the latter part OF
the a and the r in all the signatures. The
forms of the and the agree perfectly in
their loops. The of the signature to the
letter and the Fox signature are identical,
while in all the signatures before me there
is the same wide separation Of the last
bodymark from the first part of the letter
already alluded to.
"In conclusion, taking the signatures On
the three cards, and the one presented by
Mr.. Fox to be genuine, must and do
pronounce the body and signature of the
MOrey letter to be also the genuine letter
and signature of J. A. Garfield.
"YOurs respectfully,
GEORGE STIMPsON, Jr.
81 have made, read over and hereby swear
to the truth in every respect of the forcgO-
ing deposition and report.

The Republicans assert, to impeach the
authenticity of tie Chinese letter, that Hen
ry L. Morey::never lived at Lynn. He did
not live within tho town of Lynn, but he
did live short distance out of the town,
and received his mail at the Lynn post
office. In proof of his identity Truth pub
fishes the following:

BROOKLYN, Oct. 70, 1880.
Editor Truth
In reply to your inquiry as to what kind
of an organization is the Employers
Union, of Lynn, Mass, We beg leave to
state that it is an organization fbOOt and
shoe manufacturers, established after the
Burlingame treaty in 1868, to import
Chinese coOlio labor into Massachusetts,,
and employ it in the manufacture of boots
and shoes, to replace the thousands of
American workingmen at their business.
The first importation of these Chinese were
taken South Adams, Mass, and there
employed at shoe-making, and hundreds OF
American work;ngmen discharged by this
same Employers Union, of which the late
H. L. Morey was the president, and sub
scribed largely to replace American work
men by Chinese labOrers.

President United Labor League of America

Chief Central Organizer United States.
Another witness is found in the person
of F. w. Fleet, employed in the shoe
mandatory of A. j. johnson, ut Roches-
ter, who in an interview in the Rochester
Daily Union and Adrertiser of October q,
1880 says:
There was man by the name Of H. l..
MOrey in Lynn. He was not boss or en-
ployer but washired by them. The fore
men Of the various shops went out of town
and sent in 'scabs' to occupy the places
Of the union men. This man Morey, act
ing in his position, divided these men
around among tho various shops. The
denial of the Times to the contrary not
withstanding, it is a certainty that there
was man named Morcy and that he was
hired by the boss shoemakers Of Lynn to
work against the employees and to endeavOr
to break up the Crispin organization.
