An attempt is being made to make the
famous MOrey letter play an important
part in the present campaign. John l.
Davenport, who has spent a good deal of
time in trying to find the author Of the
letter. announces that he has pamphlet
ready for publication giving full and
complete history of the alleged forgery.
He saws that the author of the letter was
Henry H. Hadley, a New York lawyer.
OF course Davenport tries to make out
that the letter was given to the press by
William H. Barnum, the Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, with the
full knowledge that it was a forgery.
Without making Mr.. Barnum responsible
for the letter it could not possibly be
made effective in this campaign.
The truth is that Mr.. Bar
mum was not responsible for the
publication of the letter. 1t is true that
quite a number of the Democratic leaders
who saw the manuscript Of the letter be-
fore it was published regarded it as
genuine, and some Of them, perhaps, are
not vet convinced that it was forgery.
Last Saturday, in an interview, Mr.. Bar
mum said that the letter contained Gar
fields sentiments, and that it was like
him to write such a letter. Mr.. Barnum
also said that Gen. Logan told him soon
after the letter appeared that he believed
that Garfield wrote it.
The lawyer, Hadley. denies in the most
emphatic manner that he forged the let
ter, or that he confessed that he forged it.
The MOrey letter will always remain a
mystery perhaps. 1t is hardly probable
that Davenport will succeed in arousing
interest in it at this late day-certainly
not enough interest to influence any
bOdy's vote.

Louisville Courier Journal DEM.
The pious Dawes, whose hOmiles have so
often afflicted the American senate, a party
man as true as steel and as gifted as the best
of them in making the worse appear the
better reason" mas discovered new argu-
ment for the Republican ticket. In a great
speech'' delivered the other day at Engle-
wood, y. j.. he argued very strenuously that
the campaign Is an issue between parties IN
stead OF men, and that the official is COM
parativeIy Insignificant circumstance IN com :
parison with the party. We cite the Senator
argument in order to illustrate the fact that
the exposures of Blaine are telling IN hlgn
quarters. and that there is tendency to
make a diversion in respect to the true issue.

The Blaine scandal suit is by no means
a new one, and it appears that Mr.. Blaine
has once before sought to heal his
wounded honor with Pecuniary damages.
About twenty-five years ago he is said to
have sued the editor Of the Portland
1rgus for $4,000 damages for giving
nublicity to the same scandal that the
Indianapolis paper published. The suit
vvas Withdrawn after a big buster. 1t is
hardly probable that the Indianapolis suit
-vuI he pressed to trial, as it can hardly
be called up in time to make sensation

WE KNOW THE REPUBLICANs-HOw THE
MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN.

The country has had experience in Republic
can party rule twenty-five years, and know
its results. We therefore have no need TO
look at its platform, for 'by their fruits ye
shall know them"
The Republican party is the party of mo-
nopoly, Of corporate interests in every form
Of industry and every department OF business
and finance.
True, 1t has in all its tariff legislation
claimed to protect and. cherish American
labor, but always only as an adjunct to
American capital.
Women's labor is employed in manufactO-
ries at a very much less price than mems Ia
Dor, even that poor quality of mems labor i'm
ported from abroad, while women and even
children can do that class Of labor equally
well with the best of men. Lab0ring men
thereby are thrown out Of employ, or else
compelled to work at unremunerative prices.
Thus capital gets still further advantage Of a
tauff put on imported articles as is claimed
to enable the American producer to pay more
to American labor than the foreign laborer
receives as wages.
If the laboring woman had the ballot she
would be able, with the assistance of her hus-
baud, father and brother, to right this great
wrong, but being denied il she becomes vir-
tually slave!
Employ women il you will and must, but
let it be at the same remuneratlye wages

LABOR NEVER WINS, AND WHY?

Might we not learn something from the fate
of the African negroes? In their own cOun-
try, each tribe had its Fetish and they fought
each other for its supremacy, and both sides
sold the prisoners captured in those battles to
the white man as slaves. So the laboring
man votes for his Fetish, the Democratic
party; and the farmer votes for his Fetish,
the Republican party, and the result is that
both are handed over as captives to the cor
ruptionists and monopOlists whichever side
wins.
Mark this: the laborers and the people
never win!

VOTE FOR A THIRD PARTY-YOU WILL

The cry has already gone FORTH ''If the
people put third candidate in the field those
who vote for him will throw away their
votes" Be it so. The voter will do worse
than throw away his vote if he votes for
either candidate of the monopolists. Such
vote thereby perpetuates the ru e of his OPP
pressOrs without protest, if by his vote he puts
or keeps either in power.
Fear not. The people will not have to wait
eight years for their triumph. Everything,
including politics. travels faster now, as there
are more railroads and telegraphs to dis

In politics, as in everything else, there is a

WHY AN EXPLICIT PLATFORM SHOULD
RE DEMANDED OF THE DEMOCRACY.

The country has had no experience for
nearly a quarter of a century of what the
Democracy would do if they had the power,
so that the people are obliged to require the
most explicit pledges from them of intended
action before we can put the government in
their hands. But the farmer and the labOring
man do know that a Democratic House of
Representatives has just appropriated more
money raised by taxation than any other
House of Representatives has ever appro-
priated IN time of peace. We also know that
the Democratic majority would have made
free trade tariff, containing all the odious fea-
lures of the present war tariff, so far as re-
CARDS its mOnstrous inequalities, by horizon
tai reduction of the tariff to break down very
many rising and struggling industries, and
destruction of the homes Of our workingmen
and the home markets Of the American pro-
