The Forged Morey Letter.

New York, Aug. l5-The long-delayed
expose by United States Commissioner
John I. Davenport, of the Morey letter,
will be published tomorrow morning.
1t makes book of $50 pages. It is
largely made up of fac similes of docu.
ments showing the forgery IN it's various
FORMS The narrative is the only brief
part of the whole volume. The book
sets forth that the person who actually
peuned the forged Morey letter was a
lawyer of this city named Henry Fl.
Hadley. Davenport describes him as a
manipulation of insurance companies of
doubtful character and other matters
equally precarious, with an innate love
OF intrigue, and with craving for noto.
riety and unconquerable desire to dip
into politics and to correspond with
public men. He quotes from his
letters to show that he was al
ways a democrat, though at the
time Of the commission of the
forgery be was secretary OF the Hancock
republican association, in the rooms of
which the forgery was committed, on or
about October 2, 1880. The forgery,
according to Hadley's admission, and
conhrmatory evidence collected by Dav-
export, was originally in the form of an
extract from supposed interview with
Gen. Garfield. Davenport possessed
himself of about 1000 letters written by
Hadley between 1873 and 1879, and finds
all the distinctive marks of orthography
and calliraphy alike in them and the
forged letters. Hadley always mispelled
the word religiously, as it was mlspelled
in the forged letter, and all nouns ending
"ies," such as companies. copies and enc.
mics, he spelled the final "ys,' as the
word companys appears in the forged
letter. In his genuine correspondence
Hadley invariably dotted the letter R
when it occurred IN word CONTAINING
an "i" as in the signature to the forged
letter. A hundred fac simile reproduc.
tions prove this conclusively. 1t was in
display of this evidence of guilt that
Hadley confessed his part in the crime.

The Morey Business

Chicago Inter Oaean: The inside
history of the Morey letter forgery is at
last given to the public. Jno. 1. Daven.
port, who spent two years in tracing the
forgery to it's author, has published the
result of his investigation, and the story
is told in the Inter.Ocean this morning
by one who has been in Mr.. Davenport's
confidence. 1t was long ago decided
that the Morey letter was forgery. This
IS now clearly demonstrated, and the
authorship is fixed beyond dispute, as
as the responsibility for the inception
and execution OF the forgery. Mr.. Daven.
port shows that the Morey letter was
written by Henry 81. Hadley. who was
at the time in the employ
OF William b. Barnum, chairman
of the national democratic committee
1t is further shown that articles leading
up to the publication of this forged let
ter were written at democratic head
quarters.
It is claimed, and evidence is submit
ted to substantiate the claim, that Mr.
Barnum himself conceived the idea O
the letter, and that when he ordered
hundreds of thousands of copies of tn,
letter distributed throughout tn,
country. he knew it was the basest DOS
sible forgery.
Mr.. Davenport's book will undoubted
ly prove one of the most effective cam
paign documents ever issued. The dem
ocratic party is under the same manage
ment as it was four years ago. The maj
who resorted to the most despicabl,
chicanery to secure the triumph of hi!
party is still pulling the wires. He il
convicted on evidence that cannot b,
put aside. There is strong demunt
among respectable democrats for th
withdrawal of Cleveland as presiden
tial candidate There should now b.
as urgent call for the retirement O
MIR. Barnum and the old ring of man
ayers, whe winked at all manner @
fraud and who were parties to forgery.

After four years of patient investiga.
tion it has been settled that General
George Este dictated the Morey letter
and that Henry Il. Hadley wrote it ont
and forged the name of Garfield to it.
This was done with the full knowledge
and under the direction of Chairman
Barnum, of the democratic national
committee,and he caused the letter to be
circulated, knowing that it was entirely
fictitious. These developments will moi
help the democratic cause in the present
campaign.

1t was not ingenious and [ must be
excused for saying that is certainly

did not call the Tablet the organ

words We're in quotation.
The writer of that quoted paragraph
however could justify his phrase.
There is large and influential party
in Europe at least who claim to be
"Catholics" but disclaim Romanism.
Let me remind the Rev. Father that
if Peter was not father-in-law he
was the happy possessor of mother
in-law. (And here let me say in
parenthesis to your readers that 1
have little sympathy with the gross
jokes and weak witticisms that are
expended over very excellent class of
our fellow beings.)
am glad the Rev. Father does not
endorse the extract which he put so
prominently in connection with his
first letter. Though it might make
the unskilful laugh, it would make
the judicious (and pious Romanistl
grieve.
Finally if "delight in reading the
stories of girls" let me remind the
Rev. Father of his proud boast to
which 1 most humbly bow-that "the
story of Idan was known to the Rev.
Father before it ever reached my eyes.
