NEW YORK, November 1.-Senator Bar.
mum, Chairman Of the National Demo
cratic Committee, was interviewed to-day
at his home in relation to the Garfield let
ter. The Senator said the genuineness OF
that letter is now SO fully established that
it should be clearly impressed on the
minds of all those who would be affected
by the policy it declares. Phelps was
arrested, not upon a direct charge Of
forgery, but upon a charge of criminal
libel. The case has proceeded sufficiently
far to show conclusively that he is inno-
cent, and the prosecution have been forced
to exhaust every expedient for delay, to
prevent Phelps counsel from carrying out
their avowed purpose Of establishing, be-
yond cavil that the letter was written by
Garfield and received by Mr.. Morey. The
principal witness for the prosecution has
been shown by the testimony of we'll
known Republicans, given in open court,
to be unworthy of belief under oath. The
evidence Of the Postmaster at Washington
has been entirely overthrow, and its in
correctness shown by his own admissions.
The existence of Morey, as the agent of the
Employers Union in Lynn, has been es-
tablished by a number of witnesses, in
Guiding his own mother. The most ex-
traordinary evidence of all is that afforded
by the letter Of Marshall Jewell, Chairman
of the National Republican Committee,
to General Garfield. This letter Mr..
Jewell admits to be genuine. and it is so
plain that he is entirely unable to explain
it away. 1t shows that he promised the
friend and counsel of the publisher Of the
Truth a consideration, meaning a high
office, to which Garfield would appoint
him if he would admit that the letter was
not genuine, and suppress proofs in his
possession which he had shown to Jewell.
That is to say, those who charged the
paper with forgery were willing to
bride it to admit the truth Of the
charge. These facts and circumstances
clearly establish the guilt of General Gar
field as the author Of the letter which he
SO tardily %repudiated. He has himself de-
scribed the sentiment of this letter as stu
pid and brutal, although he distinctly ad-
vocated them in Congress. The Chinese
question directly effects every industrious
citizen. The present attitude of the Re-
publicans is. that while pretending to be 8
friend of the laboring man, they favor the
election of a candidate who is the advocate
Of a policy which would reduce such arti-
sans to a level with coolies for the benefit
of m%onopolies that labor should be
bought at the cheapest possible rate. In
this matter Garfield is only in accord with
his party, and other aristocratic doctrines
recently advocated by Senator Conkling
and others. Am confident that the peo-
pie of the United States will pensively re-
pudiate such doctrines by their votes on
Tuesday next.
Truth will publish tomorrow, addi-
tional, the following in regard to the re-
ceipt of the Garfield cheap labor letter
The Morey letter Truth herewith presents
to Messrs. S~toughton, Bell, Davenport,
Bliss, Jewell and the Republican party in
general, with their best compliments, the
following morceaux for their breakfasts
tomorrow:
"NEw YORK, October IS, 1S80.-Dear
Sir In administering on the effects of the
late H. l.. Morey, 1 found the enclosed
letter, which l send you with the accom-
panying card, which was sent to me in
Lynn, by somebody in this city, as an an
swer thereto. / am Of the opinion that
there never had been in this country for
years, such a thing as free trade. There
is not much danger Of it now-we have a
greater danger. I am truly yours,
(S~ignature.) JNo. W. GoopALL,
