Republicans as test of the fair dealing of
the Democrats. reveal the startling fact that
IN one precinct alone forty-nine fraudulent
names have been registered. The names of
suggestions men, who do net live in the
places given on the poll-box places, are also
given. where there are but vacant lots.
Registration papers at the rate of 500 per
day are being ground out by the Democratic
committee. Some men represented thereby
have barely touched the American soil If
the proportion Of fraudulent registration
should hold out in the remaining precincts.
there would be over 5000 Democratic votes
gained. The Republicans will now make

cincts.

THE NEW YORK "HERALD" ON THE FORGED
LETTER.
NEW YORK, October 26th-A. M.-The
Herald says: The. public will accept Gar
fields denial as final and conclusive upon the
matter. But it will also hold the Demo-
cratic managers to their responsibility for
what now appears to be very contemplate
forgery. Public opinion will hold, and Justly
hold, that men like Hewitt Speaker
Randall and others, owed it to their
own character and to the common decencies
of life to be somewhat slower in hearing wit
nesses, and good deal more careful than
they have been before allowing themselves,
for partisan ends, to become partners in gross
frauds upon the public. The forgery has
been industriously used by the Dem
ocratic managers to arouse popular antipathy
against the Republican candidate, when
it was well calculated to do Will they now
be equally industrious and Jealous in circu-
lating General Garfeld's specific and positive
denial? Will Hewitt retraet his accusation
against Garfield as publicly as he made it!
If not, what opinion do he and others of the
Democratic managers, who would like to be
thought honorable men, think tie decent
part of the public will entertain about them =?
There been some vague talk of fastening
the letter upon Garfield, if he should venture
to deny its authorship, and Garfeld's silence
and apparent hesitation gave force and
credit to these threats but the proofs, if
any exist, should have been brought forward
earlier. The genuineness of the letter Was
credited entirely upon the testimony of such
men as Hewitt and Randall, that they
had seen it, and unhesitatingly recognized it
as Garfeld's hand. Against that testimony his
denial, which we print above. and which we
give elsewhere in fac simile, will be conclu-
sive with everybody, and unless now the
most indubitable proofs should be at once
pronounced the Democratic managers will
discover that this attempt upon the public
credulity will react against them, and hurt
their canvass very seriously, it ought.
The characters and opinions Of men aiming
at high Office are proper objects Of
public and close scrutiny, bst the public
will, and ought TO, resent srnh sttemptS as
this. When Hancock wrote his letter on
" rebel Claims" the Democrats rightly de-
manded that all decent men of the other side
should accept that as final. In the same way
the Republicans may ask that GaIfelds en-
phatic reputation of both the Morey letter
and the sentiments it contains shall be re-
ceived as conclusive.
