GARFIELD's RECORD ON THE CHINESE ouEs-
TIoN.
The Tribune, editorially reviewing Gar
tield's letter of acceptance, on the Chinese
question, and noticing that Hancock wrote
nothing whatever on that point and calling
attention to the clear statement Of his views
on that point of prime Importance to the Pa
cifc coast, says: In spite of this record,
the Democratic managers have had the bare
faced impudence to publish forged letter,
putting into Garfeld's mouth words which
are fatty contradicted by his letter of accept
ance, and by his speeches and votes in Con
gress. The infamy of this forgery is all the
more conspicuous because of the notorious
silence of Hancock on this subject"
WHY CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS SUPPORTS
GARFIELD.
New YORK, October 27th.-Charles Fran.
els Adams, Jr., who supported Tilden four
years ago, addresses the independent Repub-
icans here tomorrow night, to give his rea-
sons for supporting Garfield now. He holds
that while he thought Tilden was elected, the
asserted fraud Of 1876 is not living issue
besides, he says, later developments show
that the fraud was all on the other side, and
the Democratic party is in the position of the
man who had his pockets picked while him.
self cheating at cards. Therefore he thinks
the Democracy were wise in dropping the
fraud candidate. Federal interference in
Southern domestic affairs is over, and specie
payments have been established. The liv-
ing issues of to-day are questions of admin
istration, and the Republican party and can
didate are pledged to continue the wise ad-
ministration of Hayes, which will bear com.
parison with the best and purest preceding it.
While Garfield and the Republican party
have for the last four years record Of honor
as basis for popular confidence. Their rec
ord is opposition and obstruction to resump-
tion and sound finance. Their twenty years
of opposition have made no mark justify
ing a change for their restoration to
power now-even its free trade mark
Adams is against the Democracy on its plank
of tariff for revenue only. Its candidate evi.
dehtly don't know what tariff is. No future
for free trade is to be won out of pure un-
adulterated ignorance of the subject. Better
fight the battle out with real enemies than
put faith in those who chuck out great prin-
ciples to voters as gamblers might toss pen
q
why at this day of civil administration. mere
soldier showed be made the chief executive
of this great nation. If Hancock's effusions
upon the tariff are to be accepted as a fair
sample of his knowledge of fiscal and curren-
cy topics, he would unqueshonably furnish
good subject for admission to a commercial
college but his inaugural might contain some
singular economical discoveries. Above all,
Adams weighs the importance of such vote
for Garfield as will render impossible the
dangers to the national peace and prosperity
which would now come from any indecisive
result. With the solid South for Hancock,
he urges that a divided North will mean
national peril Of the most fearful character.

GENERAL GRANT CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
CHICAGO, October 27th.-The Tri5une's
Syracuse special says: General Grant, in an
interview, said: my observations in Con-
necticut lead me to think that we shall have
that State by 10000 majority The tariff is
making clean sweep of the whole country
1t will affect Pennsylvania notably. l think
the majority in New York is being under
estimated, but L see no reason to believe it
will be less than 40, 900. A few days ago
had conversation with gentleman in New
York whom l know pretty well, and he was
guarding me against hazarding as high an esti-
mate as placed on it. | simply said to him,
Here, you smoke and L smoke. l will do
this: If New York declares for the Repub-
cans by 10000 majority, you send me-you
York does not go Republican by 40, 600 III
send you LOCO cigars 1t was nc a bet, you
understand it was present either way, as
the case might be- But "-and the General
gave a slight laugh as he tipped the ashes
from his burning cigar and looked towards
the window and the heeting scenery l
guess he thought he would let me pay for my
own smoking."

essary to their success if they lose New York
But they have evidently determined to fight
the enemy on his own ground, and make
their victory more crushing by carrying his

ten times more vigorous efforts to carry that
