BILE pretsxt Of Garf1eld's defence,
that there was no such man as
Morey or any such an organization
as the Employ ers' Union Mt Lynn,
Mass, at the date of Garfield's let
ter.
NEW YORK. Oct. 2Sth.-Ths
Truth Of to-day made good its
promise to prove that Garfield was
the veritable author of the Chinese
cheap labor letter and that he lied
in repudiating it. The proof pre-
sented is divided into four heads:
First, Identification Of Garfield's
handwriting In the Chinese letter
by comparison with undisputed
specimens of his writing and sig-
nature and the testimony of ex.
perts establishing their identity.
Second, that II, l.. Moray, to
whom the letter 10 addressed, was q
real person In correspondence with
Garfield.
Third, that the Employers
Union existed at the time Of the
writing Of the letter in and about
Lynn, Massachusetts,.
Fourth, that the postmark on
the envelope was genuine and Of
the kind in use at the date upon
which the letter was sent.
| The establishment Of any ono of
these propositions would break
down Garfeld's defence. The
Truth of this morning fully estab-
Wished all Of them. Three famous
experts, namely d. N. Carvacho,
No. 4 East Fourteenth street, New
York; George Stillson, Jr., Of
Brooklyn, and E. H. Rauch, Of
Mauch Chunk, Pa, all testify that
the handwriting and signature Of
the Chinese cheap labor letter are
identical with three Of the speci-
mems Of Garfield's handwriting
submitted to them for comparison.
The examination of these experts
was made separately, no one
knowing that the others were
engaged. They all agree sub
stantially In the conclusion
that all the specimens submitted
are in one and the same hand-wiit.
Ing of both the Chinese letter and
the letter Of disclaimer published
in the Herald Of yesterday. In adj
dition to the testimony of Hewitt,
Randall and Meade, heretofore re-
ferred to, the evidence of the ex-
perts ls cOrroborated by the state
| ment and affidavit of Hon. John
Fox, ex-member OF Congress, who
served with Garfield In the Forti-
eth and Forty.first Congresses, and
who has In his possession the sig
natures of Garfield, given to him
by Garfield himself, and who
swears that the original Chinese
letter Is In the same handwriting
as Garfield's signatures in the let
ters in his possession.
Expert Rauch testifies that the
construction of such a letter as the
Chinese letter in SO close imita-
ton of Garfield's handwriting
would be impossible, unless the
forger had before him just such q
letter in Garfield's handwriting,
otherwise, he says, no one could
construct such an imitation with
SO many characteristic resem-
blances.
In relation to the stamps ON the
envelope, the evidence is over
whelming that the statement OF d.
8. Anger, Postmaster at Washing
ton, d. c., to the effect that no
such stamp was In use on January
23d, is absolutely false. Ainger's
statement was as follows: No such
concelling stamp as shown on the
envelope, was in the Washington
Postotfice on Jan. 23d, the day the
letter is claimed to be mailed. An
entire new set of cancelling stamps
were placed in the Of
flee on the 30th of April. The
Truths facsimile Is a good
representation Of the cancelling
stamp, but is totally unlike the one
In use on January 23d. The Truth
publishes, first, letter of Henry q.
Kelsey, Secretary OF State Of New
Jersey, enclosing eight letters re-
ceived by him, four previous and
four subsequent to April 18th, the
cancelling stamp being precisely
the same on all Of the eight. In
addition to these, the Truth pub.

On the point of the existence of

men in South Adams, Mass, and
else where, who replaced American
mechanics. This testimony is cor
roborated by that of A. A. Fleet, of
Rochester, who says that Morey
was hired by the employers to get

nese and othefs) to replace their
employees.
This case for the prosecution
against Garfield leaves him in the
position of having first written a
letter which he himself character
ICES as brutal and stupid, and then
having falsely denied his own work
for the purpose of deceiving the
people into permitting him to be-
come President of the United
States.
