The Republican party, which Is
to-day hndeavoring to buy its way
to . continued possession of office,
power and plumber, has attempted
to prove that the letter Of Garfield
to Mercy was forgery. After a
long delay-a delay which was
commented on by the New York
Herald, which on the whole is
friendly to Garlield-the Credit
Mobilier and De Golyer candidate
ut last appeared in letter de-
nounciDg the missive to Morey as
forgery. Morey, fortunately, as
they thought, was dead, and could
not be be a witness. AS soon as
the Republican press became &C.
Quainted with this fact they an.
nounced, with one voice, that
Morey, like the famous Mrs.'Arris,
was . mythical personage-that he
had never existed. Elsewhere we
publish o long special telegram tc
the HERALD which establishes the
existence of Morey and the authen
ticity OF the Garfield letter. NJ
demonstration was ever more com
plete. We have in it the testimony
of experts as to the identity O
the handwriting of the letter te
Morey with the handwriting o.
Garfield. They say that, without
similar letter written by the Re-
publican candidate, the most ex'
pert forger that ever existed could
not have counterfeited Garfield's
writing with such marvellous ex
actness. In addition to the evil
dence OF the experts, we have thu
solemn statements of Samuel ]
Randall, Speaker of the House o
Representatives, of ex.Congress
man Fox, of Congressman Abrau
8. Hewitt, and otlI6ks, all OF whom
have served with Garfield in thu
House of Representatives, to tn,
fact that Garfield wrote the Morey
letter. In view of Garfield's un
veraclty, of record, In the Credi
M0bilier and De Golyer investiga
tions, his mere denial counts fol
nothing. Here we have the letter
In his own handwriting, and the
Washington post. mark on the en-
velope, all establishing the truth o.

DEAR SIR:-Yours in relation to the
Chinese problem came duly to hand.
take IL that the question OF employees is
only question of private and corporate
economy, and individuals or corpora
tons have the right to buy labor where
they can get 1t cheapest. We have a
treaty with the Chinese government
which should be religiously kept until
its PROVISIONS are abrogated by the ac-
ticn Of the general government, and am
not prepared to say that it should be alb.
rogated until our great manufacturing
interests are conserved in tho matter of
labor. Very truly yours,
JAMES A. GARFIELD.
To II. L. MoREY, Employer Union,
Lynn, Massachusetts,.
What is there in this letter in.
consistent with Gsrfield's charac-
ter and record? His opposition to
the Fifteen Passenger Bill, and his
support Of Hayes's veto, are mat
ters Of official record. Every
breath OF his life has been drawn in
unison with the purposes Of party
which has lowered all the corpora.
tIons OF the land, which has given
away the National domain, and
which signs for strong govern
mont, to harry the impoverished
masses. The Republican party of
California Is to-day making Its
CANVASS with the avowed object OF
sIecting General Miller, a monopo-
list Of the straigbtest sect, as United
4tates Senator, TO succeed Booth.
When any distinguished Republic
can official visits California, from
Grant TO Hayes, he 10 never for =
moment out Of the leading strings
u men who are known on this
Coast to desire to reduce the labor
ne man to the condition Of . new.
