THE MOREY LETTER.
what Purporfs 10 be the Inside History
of the Affair.

| CHICAGO, October 2.-The Inter Ocean,.
| New York special purports to give the inside
history of the Morey letter on the Chinese
| question, whose publication carried Cali
tornia against Garfield in the last presiden-
tial election. The dispatch is to the effect
that John /. Da' export has been at work
| tweniy-three months in the endeavor to fer
ret out the authorship of the forgery; that
he finally got the whole story, its conception
| and execution, together with the confession
OF the forger, and that he is about TO publish
the facts in pamphlet form; that the man
who forged the document is named II. II.
Hadley, renegade Republican in the
employ of the Democratic National Com
mittee, and that some leading spirits in that
body were cognizant of and approved the
forgery. The story told is TO the effect
that Hadley, as the professed leader of
certain body of voters in New
York, wrote to Gen. Garfield ssking an
explanation and answer TO the Credit Mo-
bilier charges. The letter was answered by
Private Secretary Brown, inclosing the man
uscript of Gen. Gar6eld's speech on the cub
ject 10 his constituents in 1873. He thus
got Gar6eld's autograph. The dispatch con-
tinues, that Hadley is an expert penman,
and spent several days studying and prac-
ticing the handwriting and autography OF
Gen. Garfield. Stationery stores were ram
sacked to find proper paper, similar to that
used at Mentor, and then Hadley wrote the
famous forgery. An envelope was pre-
pared 10 correspond with that which he re-
ceived from Mentor, and put through pro.
cess to make it look soiled and worn. When
finished, Randall, Hewitt, and several other
reputable Democrats, were shown il, who
had no doubt of its geuuineness. The dis
patch concludes with the ststement that an
