After Johnny Davenport expended ten
thousand dollars in pretending to hunt
the author of the MOrey letter, throwing
out hints that Hewitt, Barnum and other
prominent Democrats were concerned,
he lets it be known that possibly Garfield
did write the letter, or his Secretary,
and that he forgot the circumstance. So
it may turn out the letter was genuine
after all.
HOpley, of the Bucyrus Journal, says
he was prominent a few months ago in
predicting Republican defeat if the tenn
perance question should be forced into
the canvass and made an issue. He
adds: ut is a strange exhibition of IN

ty to cast slur upon gentleman for
being right, and thus attempt to cover
up palpable political stupidity with
cheek equally palpable."
President Arthur's candidate for Gov
ernOr of New York don't appear to fare
any better than CamerOn's in Pennsyl-

revolution now going forward will GER
tainly teach these political jObbers a
lesson which ought to last for geneT-
alton.
An Indianapolis dispatch says that
fully thousand Germans in that city

support to Waller and his associates on
the Democratic ticket. In New York
there is a similar feeling. 1t will be a
great day for citizens of German birth
when the party whose name is synOny-
nous with fraud and corruption is swept
from power.
