a Complete Exposure.

The prosecution of the Chinese forgery
case ought not 10 stop short Of a thorough
exposure Of the whole conspiracy. That
there was a conspiracy the known oireum-
stances of the affair leave little room TO
doubt The time chosen for publishing the
letter at the close of the canvass the imme-
dIate Endorsement Of the fraud BY Demo
Gratis of national reputation al public meet
ing IN this city the instant republication of
the letter by the Democratic newspapers
throughout the country with positive asser-
tons, all pitched IN the same key, that It's
genuineness was beyond question, showing
that the way had been paved IN advance for
It's appearance by instructions as to IFS treat
ment from the Democratic National Com
mittee the refusal Of the Committee to &C
oept the strongest proof Of its bogus char
acter; the manufacture under orders from
the Committee, after such proof had been
furnished, of hundreds Of stereotype plates
of the fac-simile of the letter, and their
shipment 10 Democratic newspapers with di-
rect!ons for their prompt publication ali
this indicates that the scheme had other and
more cunning authors than an unknown
writer for an insignificant and characterless
newspaper.
Ii may be proved that Philip forged the
letter, but this is not enough. Who EN-
ployed him, and what was his compensation?
Was the language Of the forged document
his own invention, or was be aided in its
composition by some of the eminent Demo
cratic statesmen who rushed forward TO VOL
unteer their opinion that Garfield wrote it
when they knew he did not? Who directed
the Democratic newspapers TO print it and
back it up? Who ordered the stereotype
plates made? Who sent them out to the
papers and what instructions went with
them? Let US get to the bottom Of this
dirty business, if possible.
The prosecution has no relation to the
coming election. IL is undertaken in the
interest of public morals and honest politics,
and vii not be dropped when the campaign
ends. The men who eonspired to defeat the
Republican candidate for the Presidency BY
forging his signature TO sentiments he never
expressed nor entertained, and which are
wholly foreign 10 his record and character.
must be made 10 feel that their performance
will not be passed over as a mere trick of
politics and forgotten when the contest
closes. The history of party strife in this
country affords no parallel to this dastardly
outrage. II is crime not only against
General Garfield and the Republican party
but against the whole body Of American cit
liens whose votes it seeks TO influence by
the basest form of deception and falsehood.
The processes of justice must not be al
lowed to stop short Of the complete expos
ure and signal punishment of all who con-
spired to procure the commission of teh
crime. or who have since aided and abetted
in giving it effect

The Republicans of Cherryfield decide,

The Republicans of Cherryfeld decided
before election to limit their vote to 329
and that is the figure they return The i'm
preston is that they might have made it
400, or any other number within the limit
of the voters in the town. but being modest,
or for some other reason, they only aspired
70 329. The opposition was allowed to poll
f0l votes which shows the liberal minded
ness of the Republicans. Cherryfeld is a
Grand old town and must be very pleasant
one for Republicans to live in.
