New-York tribune., 1880-10-30
Wanted: A photograph of happy Democrat.

Perhaps the Democratic party is not already deau ;
but one thing is certain. it can never smell any
worse than 1T does now.
Ccffee-P Wallace would have been moro sue
cessfn Chairman than Blrnum. lie could have
manufactured votes for his own party, ana ho
would have known better than to plunge into the
business of making by wholesale votes Tor the o1nei
side.
Barnum cannot shake of the responsibility lot tnat
forged letter. The night before 1t was pnbsheu nc
sent to the principal Democratic Journals OF INC
country dispatch signed with his own name, say
ing: The letter is authentic. 1t is IN General uar
fields handwriting. Denial is worse than useless
1t should have the widest circulation among all
classes as il unmasks the Republican hollowness
and hypocrisy on the labor question through thelr
chlefD That dispatch gives official Democratic ap-
pr0yal to the dirfiest campaign slauder ever con-
cocted. Every Democratic Editor IN the land sub
misSIyey ObeVed this crack OF the muie-dIlVere
whip and did his best to circulate the lie.
The spirit of 1860 is IN the Republican party
which means that the Democracy is about to be
decorated with another pair of black eyes,
Itis erninently fitting that Bamums forger should
have for legal counsel a Confederate General ms
brings both ends of the forging and bulldozlng
Democracy together
The World produced on Wednesday an expert IN
handwriting who cited anO her expert as conclusive
authoritv. This second expert has testified under
oath that the Chinese letter is undoubtedly for

Il performance which is overloaded with moral as
this lS.
The Democratic platform mas been burst to smith
Greens. and Barnum has put up signboard labelled
forgery" among the RUNS. ian 1or chal9e
No honest man of any party las shadow of a
doubt that the Morey letter is clumsy forgery.
Got 'em again
Barnum would be wise to stand in the rear OF
muscular mule and tickle his heels with straw. If
he does not, something worse will happen 10 him
when his whole party begins to kick after election
The Democratic campaign has been simply pro-
cessiOn Of blunders. They nominated figurehead
candidate aud neglected to paddock his mouth.
They called for change" at the very time the cOun
try dreaded "A change more than anything else.
They constructed platform which they were forced
to kick over. They neglected to present the cOun-
try with anything like for putting them IN
power, and devoted all heir energies TO mudthr0w-
ing. The result is defeat in advance. The party
has had no brains TO draw upon anywhere. The
candidates spoke only to show their untitness their
chairman had no idea of any political agencies save
lies and corruption; and their party organs bad not
ability or inclination TO DO more than echo the
There is no necessity for Chinese cheap labor
under protection With " tariff for revenue only
1t will be Chinese cheap labor or no labor at all
What are Hancock's sentiments on Chinese cheap
labori There nothing in his letter the subject
and he has never said "a word about it. Garfield is
clear and eXplclt the point III his letter. and ali
the living in the world can't alter the fact.
With tariff for revenue Only' no manufac-
tuIer in this country could live save by the en-
ployment OF Chinese labor.
The South is solid for free trade. Its journals and
its Congressman declare openly tDat with Hancock
for President they will have free trade. As Ran
doph Tucker one of their abes5 Congressman. puts
- they wish TO "take the hand winch Great
Britain extends TO for free trade bclween us"
Every American and IRISH wOrkingman knows
what that sort Of handShakIug would do for INN.
