Republican National Committee will ex-
pose the author of the alleged Garfield
Chinese letter. 1t is one Kennard Phelps,
one of the editors OF the Truth, who was
unearthed by Detective Lovergan in the
employ Of the National Committee.
Phelps is an expert in all kinds of chiro-
graphy, and lately copied from memory
the names of all the men who signed the
Declaration of Independence in SO skill
full manner that look would indicate
them as genuine. He has mania for
initiating handwriting. He is an active
and able politician, and practically con-
trolls Truth. Huntley says all the facts
are authenticated and before the Repub-
lican Committee, and would have been
published yesterday, But that General
Arthur interposed with the suggestion of
delay in order that the Democrats might
have an opportunity of putting forth an
other fraudulent letter after the exposure
and getting it in circulation. Such
scheme was in contemplation, and he says
another forged letter will be published in
Truth this week. Phelps can't be found.
New YORK, October 26.
The completed registration in this city
shows an apparent net Republican gain
of five and one-third per cent, compared
with year ago. Experts carefully estl-
mate that the aggregate city vote will be
200 600, unless Democratic indifference
decreases it. This is on basis of per-
| centage obtained by Tilden four years
| ago, and allowing for the net Republican
gain as above, would give Hancock less
than so, 600 majority here, against so, 600
to 100, 900 majority confidently expected
| for Garfield elsewhere in the State. A
moderate estimate of detection among
the Democratic business men and manu-
facturers reduces the probable city ma
lority to $4,000 or less. The Democrats
claim only al ,OOO Kings county regis,
tration indicates ten per cent. net Re
publican gain, which would leave about
10000 majority for Hancock. Adding
Queens, Suffolk and Richmond counties
60, 900 Democratic majority below Har
