THAT CHINESE LETTER.
A Witness to the Fact That There Lived
Man Named Morey.

A prominent boot and shoe man of this
city, who came here from Massachusetts,,
where he had extensive dealings in the city
of Lynn, distinctly remembers the name of
Morey; and further than this, is positive of
an organization of manufacturers in oppo-
sition to the brotherhood of ST. Crispin.
His name is withheld for prudential reasons,
or rather at his urgent request. He feels
confident that the facts are not as stated by
the business men of Lynn, whose names
have been telegraphed over the country
that there is some kind of ingenious pre-
varication that must early come to light
He can not De positive about the initials,
but firmly believes in the impossibility of
his being mistaken concerning the name
''Morey," and that he (Morey) was identi-
fled with the organization of boot and shoe
manufacturers in opposition TO striking
workmen. There is nothing in Mr.. Gar
fields denial" continued the Sentlners in
formant, las l understand it, but what
might have been expected. He said that he
had taken no bride, but the Courts found
different. He said that he was innocent of
Credit Mobilier, but Congressional Inves-
tigating Committee found different But
the whole thing viii doubtless come out in
few days. There are too many living wit
nessesn
In this connection it is well enough to
quote the following from the Utica Observer:
We are glad to beable by proof which admits OF
no question, to stamp out the wretched lie set up
by Marshall Jewell that there was no such man
in Lynn Mass. as III. l. Aorey.
William Nash. of the Reynolds Bros shoe
factory, in this city. in Lynn in 1878 and for
ten years before that He worked in the factory
OF Morgan & Dore, in that city. and went out
lockout instituted by the shoe manufacturers
against that Union in 1878. The employers de
termined to destroy the Crispins, formed Union,
opened an agency and set machinery TO work to
get outside workmen. Mr.. Morey had charge of
this agency and distributed the men hired BY Ii
around among the factories. Mr. Nash had no
personal acquaintance with this Morey, but knew
him as other Crispins knew him-1y sight on the
streets, as the representative of the employers
who were trying to break up the shoemaker
organization. and saw him daily.
Dir. lash says that the pretense that there was
no suh man there, and that he had not the posi-
ton in the Employers Union whrch Garfield as
signs him in his letter. is absurd
Mr.. Nash, furthermore says il is not strange
that the denial of Morey's existence should be
based upon the authority of the Boston Traveller
because, during the labor troubles in Lynn this
Traveller was one of the worst enemies the work
ingmen had TO contend with.
Here then, workingmen Of Utica, is the best
possible answer to the lie with which the Radi-
Gals seek to cloak the record OF their candidate in
the matter of Chinese cheap labor A man who
tolls in your midst, whom you know, bears evil
dence to the falsty of the pretense that the per-
son Garfield wrote that suicidal letter TO is man
OF straw. He knew to his cost, as did thousands
of other shoemakers, who Morey
