THAT MOREY LETTER.

I'll
NEW YORK. Oct. 80.
A new feature is added to the Chinese letter
muddle by the publication in Truth this morn
ing of a letter from Marshall Jewell to Gen.
Garfield on the subject Of the forgery. This
letter, dated october 2sth, was given to Judge
DittenhOefer. wellknown republican lawyer
Of this city, under the following circumstances,
A few days since Judge Dttenhoefer, who has
been the counsel for the owners of the newspa-
per Truth for some months past, came to Gov
Jewell saying that said owners or publishers
had, upon investigation, satisfied themselves
that the Morey letter was forgery, and that
they had been imposed upon. He further said
that they were ready to make public such ad-
service, II any, to the republican party,
should 60 to the credit OF their counsel
Believing this statement to be true Gov
handing Judge D. copy OF it. This letter,
without the knowledge or consent of Governor
Jewell, and although marked confidential,
Judge d. took to Mr. Hart, the Chief editor OF
to his partner. Mr. Post, an Intimate personal
friend OF the Judge. To this the Judge reluc-
family assented 1t was kept about thirty min
utes, and in that time, as II now appears, pho
tographic copy was taken.
Judge DittenhOefer says the trick was one he
had DO idea that men to whom he had long
held the relation OF counsel would be guilty OF
and he denounces 1t In unmeasured terms.
TIE public sentiment seems to be that while
the letter In question Is a very guarded one and
was given only after the proposition OF Truth,
its publication will lead the democrats to claim
that Gov. Jewell was alarmed and anxious
10 make terms, although 1t is difficult
to see how he could have responded, excepting
as he did, to what seemed to be fair propoSi
ton, and one calculated to do simple justice to
Gen. Garfield and the republican cause.
1t Is most diff1cut TO get any enthusiastic
democrat to give reasons why anything they
claim should happen, and even at democratic
headquarters their talk is tempered with com
plants against the mismagement, AID of decep-
tion In places where faithful execution OF trusts
The most probable of the predictions there is
that StilsOn Hutchins, having staked hts
reputation on carrying New Hampshire
mirabiy mi in his Efforts to Get Sa Subscriptions ns
from democratic capitalists 10 campaign with
may succeed In that state In local offices. AS
Tor New Hampshire the republicans have no
concern, and say 1t will cast its vote for Gar
field easily. VIM. E. Chandler is there oppos-
Ing Hutchins
Leading republicans here say they hope that
neither North Carolina nor Florida will go re-
publican, SO anxious are they to array the solid
north against the solid south.
The democratic leaders complain bitterly OF
their failure In the past few days % get CAM
they got all they asked for.

Especial Dispatch to The Eceatng Starl
NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-The Herald says that
this has been canvass OF surprises, and that
it would not be surprising If Philadelphia voted
for democratic comptroller as rebulae to the
McManes ring; that 1t begins to look as II
John Kelly would be surprised in his
efforts to make Grace mayor and Truax

Hancock. Such result is possible In Indiana,
CONNECTICUT, New Jersey and possibly New
York" The sun says, In regard to the Chinese
not want partnership with forgers and libel
eTs not even for the presidency. The Indian.
apcls correspondent OF the Sun telegraphs that
effective work lately, and that the only way
for the republicans to carry that state on Tues
day is to buy it again, which 1t is believed they
cannot do as New York. New Jersey, Conrectf-
money the republicans can raise. The Tribune
says that .'as the campaign approaches its close
the republican state committee Increases its
Will be carried. There has been little
doubt for several weeks that the Gar
field and Arthur electors would be
chosen; but as later reports are received from
the various counties, the victory promises TO be
greater than was thought possible short time
ago. Recruits are constantly Coming over
from the democracy and the state is now be
1eved to be republican by at least 80, 1000" The
Times says that the conclusive testimony pro-
duced yesterday as to the erasures and 1nser-
tions OF false markings On the envelope Of the
icy letter prove that the missive In question
was the outcome of base and mercenary con-
spilacy, and that no better campaign docu-
ment could have been contrived for the republl-
cans than one which demonstrates the utter
recklessness and despair OF their opponents
