VOTERS, BEWARE OF TT
THE LATEST DEMOCRATIC TRICK !

New YORK, October 25, 1880.
To the Republican Press on the Pacific
Coast A bogus letter on the labor ques-
ton, intended to damage Garfield, having
been refused publication here by the Sun,
World and other respectable Democratic
papers, yesterday found a California pur-
chaser, and fac smile plates have been
shipped.
The intention is to flood Nevada, Cali
fornia and Oregon with the forgery on cleo
ton morning. The trick failed here. Re-
publicans, be on your guard!
We publish the fac smile of the letter,
as written by Deacon Garfield, envelope
and all, even to the careless figuring
to which it had to undergo while lying
upon Morey's desk in his office. Columns
of sworn testimony are being printed to
prove that the letter is in Garheld's own
handwriting, and it reads as he has acted
everywhere when occasion on this ques-
ton came up.
1t only requires that our readers should
glance at the SESTINEL's Geographic col
umns, and there read the proceedings of

in those who have been endeavoring to
get hold of the original letter, which
we have reproduced this morning, have
been foiled ; the case discharged and the
letter-about the authorship of which
there can be no doubt now-is still in the
hands of the Truth proprietors, as we
are doubly assured by Chairman Bar
NUNS private dispatch late last evening.
In the above poster it will be seen
that there is printed the boldest lie ever
circulated. and anyone with a particle Of
