NV YORK, Oct. 2Sth.-Last
night the Office Of the Truth was
surrounded by myrmidons of Dav.
export and every device resorted to
to prevent the paper's being is.
sued. One of Davenporps spies
was discovered in the press room
and the number of such characters
in the neighborhood was so large
that it was found necessary to have
a detail OF police to escort the
forms safely across Spruce street
from the composing rooms of the
paper to the press room. This af-
ternoon subordinate member oil
the editorial staff of the Truth was
arrested on trumpet up charge oil
criminal libel and an effort was
made to prevent the shipment Of
copies of the paper by express, by
inducing the Adams Express Com.
pany to refuse any matter from the
publication Office OF the Zruth h.
Some collateral evidence which the
Truth had secured in further cor.
roboration of its statements was
bought up by the Republicans from
the person who had 1t in charge.
These desperate efforts to suppress,
the facts Of Garfield's infsmy show
the desperation of the Republican
managers and add one more to the
proofs of the genuineness of the
letter, which expresses more terse-
ly the sentiments Garfield avowed
by his speeches and notes in Con.
gress. When Kenard Philip, the
Truth reporter, was brought before
Judge Davis, he said:
''This amounts to nothing; Il IL
simply put-up job to weaken the
effect of the letter."
Roger A. Pryor and Charles
Brook appeared as counsel fol-
Philip and Of course John b. Dav.
export, "clerical error" Stoughton
and "Decoy" Bliss as counsel for
the prosecution The prosecution de.
sired, on behalf of the Republican
party, to postpone further proceed
ings for several days. The counsel
for MIR. Philip insisted upon an i'm.
mediate examination, which was
finally set down for tomorrow at
IL O'Clock. After Philips request
that the case be sent to the Grand
Jury at once was refused, Philip,
who is comparatively friendless,
succeeded in finding bail at the ex.
piration of u couple Of hours. The
accusation against him was
grounded solely upon rn informa.
ton and belief affidavit of Bliss,
which contained not particle oil
proof OF the charge.
Mr.. Philip is not one of the edi-
tors of the Truth, but merely an 90
casiOnal writer for several papers,
who was picked out for lack of a
better victim, as u 'good enough
Morgan" until after the election
to cover up Garfield's infamy.
Had Philip been an influential
person he would not have had tc
search New York and Brooklyn fol
friends to stand his bail. TO.day's
proceedings are simply DAven.

The meeting Of the United Labor
Leage Of America, in support OF

Cooper Institute, this evening, is a
great success. The presiding off.
Ger Of the meeting, Colonel Pope
Hodnett, gave full explanation Of
the connection of Morey with the
Employers Union and the Chinese
question.
The holding of Philip to-day is
characterized as gross outrage
against law. The evidence against
him in the Bliss affidavits was Sec

evidence of Garfield was obtainn.
BILE, and the proceedings were
founded upon comparison of cop.
les instead of originals, which were
in existence and should have been
forthcoming. The forgery charge
was abandoned as absurd.
The Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee has sent
the following dispatch in answer to
an inquiry concerning the arrest
of Philip:
"The Republicans have ar.
rested Philip for vriminal libel
in writing the article in Truth, and
not for forging Garheld's letter, as
they have telegraphed through the
country. The arrest is q device to
break the effect of the publication
of Garfield's letter in favor Of Chi.
