An Address by the National Committee,

The Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee has issued
the following address:
In response to inquiries, the National Demo-
cratic Committee makes the following state
ment in reference 20 the so-called Morey
letter:
|. Neither the Committee nor any sub-com-
mittee thereof has ever taken any action in
reference to the letter.
2. 1t was first called to the attention of the
Chairman of the Committee on the night be-
fore its publication in Truth ON the Goth of Oc-
tober.
g. The Chairman thereupon requested Mr..
Smalley, a member or the Committee to ex-
anime the letter, but permission to do so was
refused at the office of Truth.
4. No member of the Committee ever saw
the letter or any copy or portion thereof until
after its publication, or was in any wise con-
cerned therein, or gave any advice IN refer
ence thereto.
s. Hart, publisher of Truth, brought the
original letter to headquarters No. 13s Fifth
avenue, on the afternoon of the Goth of Octo-
Der, where it was seen for the first time by
any member of the Committee, and then ex-
amined by several mem bers of the Committee
and other persons not members. All those
who were familiar with the handwriting of
General Garfield came to the conclusion that
the letter was genuine.
q. The Committee decided to purchase a
reasonable number of electrotype plates of
the fac sim lie, which had already been pre-
pared by Truth.
Z. No denial having come from General
Garfield of the authenticity of the letter, not
withstandng the telegraphic demand of the
New York Herald, and a very sharp leader in
that paper. the Committee decided to give
out the electrOtype plates. which was accord
ingly done. The propiety of this action was
not doubted by the Committee, as the letter
seemed to- be in harmony with General Gar
fields views upon the subject, covered by a
letter gathered from the public records, OF
undoubted genutnenesS.
g. The first compete denial was not publish
ed until four days after the original publica-
ton in Truth, and to his denial, unsupported
by any other evidence, the Committee in view
of General Garfields connection with other
scandals, attached no weight.
8. Therefore, when evdl nee was offered to
show that Morey was real person, and not a
myth, the Committee called for it's production,
as they were bound to do, in order to arrive at
the truth.
10. If the letter has been forged, or any
fraud committed in reference thereto. or any
false evidence been given, il has been done
without the knowledge, consent or privity of
the Committee, or any member thereof.
Finally, the Committee approves of all hon.
est measures to punish any and all persons
who have committed any violation of law, and
have no interest in this matter but to arrive at
the very truth of the affair. That there should
be doubt as to the authenticity of the letter
is largely due to the failure of the prosecu-
ton to put General Garfield on the stand.
VIM. II. b ,RNUM, Chairman.
By order of the Committee.
FREDERICK .. PRINCE, Secretary.

General Hancock.

General Hancock is General Hancock
still, but he is none the worse for that
The campaign in which he has been de.
feated has not hurt him. On the con.
trary, the country knows him much
better than it ever knew him before,
and its enlarged information concern.
ing him is all TO his advantage. The or.
deal through which he has passed has
been no ordinary one. He has had to
meet in one way or another misconcep-
ton and misrepresentation, but all that
he has done SO admirably that il
might be difficult to say in which
party he had the most admirers. He
has proved himself invulnerable to the
shafts of party SANDER and malignity.
The keenest points have been turned
against the impenetrable armor of char
acter by which he has been protected,
and this element of strength was long
ago confessed by his party opponents,
who desired campaign free from per.
sonalities, because they could not match
our Achilles, who, if vulnerable in his
heel, has given his enemies no chance
to know it, as he never turns his
heels toward them. The campaign
has resulted in the temporary defeat
OF the Democratic party, but General
Hancock is not to blame for it. Per-
sonally, he is as grand in defeat as he
ever was in victory. He has clea,
conscience, and in all the opportunity
that hot canvass opens for mistakes
in Presidential contest he has done
nothing to lower his self respect
or lower the standard of manlness
which the world has associated with
him. He has no reason to be sorry that
he accepted the leadership to which he
was assigned by the action of the Dem
ocratic party. 1t was a patriotic
act on their part, and on his. He is a
man eminently worthy the confidence
OF any party. and, as we have already
stated. the broader acquaintance with
his character and abilities that has re-
suited from his candidacy is of value to
the country. His motives have stood
the test of analysis. His patriotism
at every point has been found
without speck or flaw. His knowl-
edge of the principles upon which
our system of government rests.
and his appreciation of the considera.
lions that should rule in every depart
ment OF that Government, are remarka-
BILE in military man, and would have
been OF great value to the country. But
the decision of the people has been
aversc to that and General Hancock
Fan stand it quite as well as they can.
de has accepted the result like a sol
iier, a philosopher and a gentleman.
de has grown in the love and respect of
he people from the time he was nomi-
mated until the present, and his name
will always be among those to be
wreathed with the tokens of honor and
popular regard. There are only kini
words and kind thoughts for him, how
.ver much others may be criticised. -

Meath purity girls chin liver tied.
An my heart arrah. thin how IL bate!
For my Kate looked so temptin' an swate,
Wild cheeks like the roses,
An all the red poses
That grow in her garden so nate.
But sat just as mute as the dead,
Till she sad, w.d a toss of her head,
If I'd known that to-day
Yed have nothing to say.
I'd have gone wild my cousin, instead"
Thin felt myself grow very bowld,
For knew she'd not scold IL tOwld

That would never depart,
Though lived TO be wrinkled and old.
An said "If dared to do so,
I'd Lit go NV the basic, an I'd throw
Both arms round your waist,
An be stain taste
Nv them lips that are coaxin' me So"
Thin she blushed more illegcnt red
As she said widout ruisin' her head,
An her eyes Iookin' down
Meath her lashes SO brown.

THE UNITED STATES SENATOR
SHIP.

One ofthe more important RESPONSE
bilities resting upon the Legislature is
the election during its forthcoming
session of United States Senator for
the full term of six years from the
fourth day of March next, to succeed
Hon. Angus Cameron. The most con-
spicuous candidates for this position
are Hon. f. w. Reyes, of Madison, and
Hon. Philetus Sawyer, of Oshkosh, and
there is reasonable probability that
one or the other of these gentlemen
will be chosen.
In our opinion the interests of the
people, as well as those of the Repub.
lican party, will be best subserved by
the election of Hon. E. ". Keyes to
represent Wisconsin in the United
States Senate. Two years ago we earn
estly and conscientioIsly advocated his
election to this position, and no reason
then existed which does not now ap-
ply with equal force why he should be
thus honored by the Republican party
in whose interests he has during its
existence SO zealously and effectually
labored. Mr.Keyes is staunch Repub-
lican whose fidelity to the Republican
party ard its principles has been sub
jected to the severest tests; an enter
tanning, forcible and convincing speak
er he possesses the ability to set forth
his convictions in proper manner and
the courage and energy to labor per-
serveringly for their triumph in the
face of determined opposition; man
of keen discernment, gifted with rare
judgement of men and measures, and
thoroughly posted upon public affairs;
