The following aflidavits in the Phillip
case were read in court yesterday:
State of Neg York,
City and County of New York.

posed and says as follows: On or about the
10th of October there was published in
daily newspaper printed and published in
the city of New York, called Truth, what
purported to be q copy of letter writtel
and signed by Hon. DANES A. Garfield, Of
Ohio, the republican eandidatl

fac smile of such letterthe original ofwhich
was in said paper, stated TO be in possession
Of Truth, and in said paper on the last mem
toned day.there appeared an article, of which
the following is copy:
LYING AND STICKING TO 1T.
"The republican national committee YES.
terday held meeting to consider the best
way of appeasing the storm of popular IN.
dignation that Garfeld's infamous Chinese
cheap labor letter has aroused. Garfield hss
den unced the letter as forgery. He has
lied, and the republican national committee
stick to the lie. That was the decision at
which they arrived yesterday. In this gu $.
tlon of veracity between Garfield and his let
ter the people of the United States well
know how to decide, They will not
be deceived by the persistent lying of the re-.
publican committee. Garheld's own words,
in GErield's own hand writing, confronts
Garheld's lies. The republican candidate
Tor president, in his dispatch, has tried "
lie himself out of the difficulty, but it will
swamp him. The republican general COM
mittee, while carsing lis folly in their hearts
before him, because swamping is their utter
destruction, pay no heed TO the voters, to
what is said on one side or the other. Ex-
anime Gsrilelds letter as laid before YOU to-
day, and judge for yourselves" :"
further state that | have, in connection
with others, caused an Investigate N To be
made rs to the authorship of said forged
letter aud said article, and rs to the use
which has been made Of the same by the

pers, and have ascertained that said pro-
prietors and managers have caused to be

said paper, containing copies of said forged
letter, and large numbers of copies
OF said paper containing said articles.

vestigation as to the authorship of said forged
letter and said article, am led to believe and
do believe, ard therefore charge that said

named kenwood Phillip, one Of the editors
or writer's OF said newspaper, and that having
forged said letter he wrote and caused 10 be
published IN said paper, called Truth, articles
referring thereto, which is hereinbeforequoted,
and further state upon information and be-
lief that the article so published.
reGectin c upon said Garfield, Is false, mali
clous and wicked libel, and that said article
Yves intended to assert the genuiDoness of said
forged aud fraudulent letter, when said
Phillip knew TO be SO forged aud fraudulent;
that subsequent to said publication of said
Truth or in some Of them, the proprietors f
said Truth, as | am informed and believe,
entered into some agreement with
the democratic national committee, or soma
members thereof by which it was arranged
that large numbers of said forged letters
should be circulated, and to that end, since
the denial of its authenticity by said Garfield,
have delivered to said commileo said forged
letters for the purpose of having the same
copied and photographed or Autographed
and that in pursuance thereof said committee
have caused many hundred thousand copies
Of said forged letters to bG circulated IN va.
rious forms, both in the English aud Ger
man languages.
