The Garfield Letter. Buying Labor

The Garfield Letter. Buying Labor
cheap.
We delayed printing the letter seid to
have been written by Hon. James A.
Garfield concerning Chinese labor, for the
simple reason that it's authenticity had
been questioned, and we did not wish to
assist in circulating forged document. But
despite denials made In Mr.. Garheld's
name, and despite efforts made to show
that there was no such man as Morey, it is
evident that there is something in the
matter since, as the New York Herald
says, MIR. Garfield has refused to take ad-
vantage of its prompt offer to publish o
denial from him, while 1t Ia declared
Just as positively as it is denied, that there
was such man as Morey in Lynn, and
that he acted as sort of agent for the
manufacturers there in securing laborers
while there was strike in progress. The
whole denial of his existence is guarded
one, and seems to suggest that 1t is
iounueu on ooiue quipoie ae " 'he eoiie0'
name OF the man.
Ihere Is nothing In the aiiusioh In the
letter to Chinese immigration inconsistent

MIR. Garfield now denies over his own
signature that he wrote the letter concern
ing the Chinese to one Morey. Now let
the paper which has promised to bring
forth its proof Of the receipt OF such a
letter make good its promises or take the
responsibility. II it does prove all it
promises, it sinks Mr.. Garfield to very
low depth, indeed; if it cannot prove it
we shall wish success to whoever
chooses to prosecute it for
completely in forgery and fraud. Mean
while until this question is settled MI
Gartield's friends must not ask people to
accept him as competent witness in his

having testified falsely to save himself in

Air-Guns and Damaged Eyes.

A little girl named Nettie Waldran
appeared before Esq, Quigley yester-
day and swore out a warrant against
I'D. Reason, a youth of fifteen, charg-
ing him with assault and battery.
She stated that Reason had asked her
to spend the evening with him at a
place OF amusement and she had de-
clined his company for good reasons
and accepted other escort. While
promenading afterward, Reason shot
her in the eye with an air-gun. Before
the squire this morning Reason was
fined five dollars for the city and upon
payment released from further prose-
cution. The prosecuting witness,
Nettie Waldran, is a lovely brunette,
modest and u~nassuming and only
about twelve years of age. Her eyes
especially are of that b~ewildering
beauty SO seldom seen, and it seems
incredible anybody could have the
heart to attempt their injury.
