GOO copies, 1t is said, have been printed. 1t sets
forth that the person who actually penned the
forged Morey letter was lawyer of New York city
named Henry II. Hadley, of 10 Park Row. Mr..
Davenport says that he possessed himself of about
1000 letters written by Hadley between 1873 and
1879, and finds all the distinguishing marks OF
ofthography and caligraphy alike In them and the
Forged letter The language OF the Morey letter is
shown TO have been cuied from speeches of Cutler

Kansas; Luttrell, OF California. and others on the
chinese OIL, and from testimony OF Henry George
ana otnerS before the House committee ON Chinese
immigration, and in no sense are extracts from
Garfields writing. These forgeFfeS were made to
sustain the original forgery. There was no such
man as H. L. MOrey. TO whom the forged letter
was supposed to have been written, nor was there
ever any such person as John w. GoodalI who
Claimed to have been the executor Of IT, ]. Morey
and who transmitted the forged letter to Truth
Hadley was always a democrat, though at the
time OF the commission OF the forgery he was sec
retary OF the Hancock Republican association in

democratic committee paid Hadley various sums
for the work done by him. Davenport says that
Charles A. Dana, OF the New York Sun, was told of
the existence OF the letter, but declined to have
anything TO do with it, pronOuncing it forgery.
