Gen. Garfield's denial of the authorship
of the Morey letter, and his denunciation
both of the ''base forgery" and its "stupid
and brutal sentiments" ought to end this
roorback, and the managers of the democrat
ic campaign will suffer in the estimation OF
all honorable men if they do not promptly
disayow any further connection with the mat
ter. They have not accounted for the man
Morey; they do not tell who claims to have
found the pretended letter among the myth
cal dead mans papers; they did not, as hon
arabic men would have done, seek to verify
its accuracy before giving it publicity, by APP
plying to Gen. Garfield himself Their
whole management of the affair has been ex.
tremely disreputable, and it is fitting end to
a campaign of mingled calumny and folly
