purpOrUIng TO come from the Demo-
cratic National Committee. AT CIeve.
land, October 10, at OroYille, Caifor-
MIA, October 10, and at many other
points, it was seen before it's publica-
tion. The Chairman of the Maine
Democratic Committee has stated that
he received the letter from Mr.. Bar
mum two weeks before its publica-
ton. Six days before its publication
the whisper that something fatal to
Garfield" was coming circulated In
the Stock Exchange. Mr.. Dana of
The Sn': was told of the existence of
the letter, but denounced it as for
gerry. So to many other persons came
the news that the Democratic Com.
mittee was going to send fac simile
plates of a letter which would elect
Hancock.
Mr.. Davenport proves conclusiyely
that the forged letter was written by
Hadley-Mr. Barnum's hireling. The
facsimile comparisons given of his
writing are conclusive. But It's pub
lication was preceded by an editorial
in Truth, sent thither according to
all evidence from Democratic head
quarters, foreshadowing that line of
attack. Mr., B. B. Smalley of the
National Committee was conspicuous
in having the letter widely distribu-
ted; Mr.. Barnum telegraphed all
over the country the glaring untruth
that the letter was "in MIR. GarfieId's
handwriting" and that "denial was
useless"-and then sent out the same
Hadley, under the false name of 20.
M. Wilson," to Lynn and afterward
to Baltimore, to "bOlster up the
weak points in the letter." Tele.
grams to and from him and Barnum
and fac SMILES of letters and sigma
lures are given, showing how he was
directed and paid from New York and
what he did. In the desperate effort
to make the Morey letter pass muster
until after the election, an affidavit
was forged and hotel register fraud
ulently changed, and men were hired
to come here and swear falsely, and,
as all the world knows, were convict
ed OF perjury. But to the end, Mr..
Barnum or his strenographer direct.
ed the agent thus Mr.. Barnum him
self telegraphed 20. NJ. Wilson, Bos-
ton: Don't come unless you haye got
through"
That which will attract most atten
ton is the mass of closely linked
evidence connecting the Democratic
National Committee with every
step in this succession of Infamous
crimes. Thousands Ofitems are given
which by themselves would have
little force, but which, when arrayed
by Mr.. DavenpOrt's skill, become
links in an irresistible chain of evi
dence. Only day or two before the
election, in a letter of which a fac
simile is given by Mr.. Davenport,
Mr.. Barnum introduced Mr.. Hadey,
zone Of our staunch and trustworthy
friends, to Democratic Committee
man III Maryland. and the result was
another forged affidavit. Going into
another struggle, with Mr.. Barnum
again leading the hosts of purity
and Reform" it is well to be warned
of what things he is capable.-N Y.

There is no Disgusting the fact that
the labor interests, and especially the
Irish element of the workingmen, is
consolidating as an opposing factor
to the election of Cleveland. The
press. in the interest of the laboring
classes, in all parts of the country is
outspoken in opposition to the Dem
ocratic candidate, and leading repre-
sentatives of the workingmen are
pronounced in their determination
not to vote for Governor Cleveland.
Irish American clubs are being form
ed, with avOwed intentions to sup
port Blaine and Logan, and there ap-
pears to be a general movement
among labor unions for a similar
purpose.-BufaLo Times.

Don't Like tho Minister.

II don't like the minister ?" That
settles the matter. If you don't like
the minister, you have no duties to
perform. Not liking the minister
absolYes you from all responsibility.
The fact that you don't like the min
lister releases you from your vows. II
you are a trustee you need not take
any further interest in the financial
affairs of the congregation. The fact
that the people intrusted you with
certain duties, which you engaged to
perform, is neither here nor there if
you "don't like the minister" Ger
tainly not. The easiest of all ways to
get rid of supporting the church and
its ordinances is simply to say, 81
don't like the minister" OF course,
you need not 60 to the prayer meet
irg; why should man pray if he
"d0sen't like the minister" Some
of these reasons are good, no doubt /;
but many are the reverse. Neither
the good nor the bad ahsolve hearer
flom his duty. Perhaps it would be
presumption to ask why "don't you
like the minister IN. W. Christian

The Morey Forgery Laid Bare.

The kind of reform" to be expect.
ed if Mr.. Cleveland could be elected,
and the sort of campaign to be ex-
pected this year, are disclosed in the
History of the Morey Letter." just
published by John l. Davenport. The
very men who are now proved to
have contrived, circulated and by
most dishoporable means bolstered
upXQ II e4nd that most infamous
fofse ; are at present engaged in con.
Quoting gNhe campaign for "Cleve-
land, Purity and Reform" Mr..
Dayenprt's book fastens the respon.
sibilityupOn the active men at the
Democntic National headquarters.
In 1880 w. II. Barnum was Chair
man ofthe National Committee, and
he is now. In 1880 F. O. Prince was
Secretary and Charles J. Canada was
Treasurer, and they are now. In 1880
Edward B. Dickinson was the official
strenographer and the secretary of the
Executive Committee, and he is now.
The disclosures of Mr.. Davenport
give the people warning to expect
still more during and infamous for
geries within the next three months,
for the purpose of eiecting "that pure
man Cleveland" and securing "good
government.
The mass OF evidence which Mr..
Davenport arrays cannot he briefly
presented. When the matter was be-
fore the courts years ago, there was
proof enough to convince candid
minds that the forgery was not the
work of any irresponsible tool, but
that it came in some way from the
Democratic headquarters. But the
remarkable detective skill of Mr..
Davenport has now traced this piece
ofscoundrelism from it's very origin
in the minds of its originators. Late
in September, 1880, Chairman Bar
nun became alarmed about the sue
cess of the Republican campaign on
tie tariff question. To General Este
srsseSted that something should
be prepared for use in a brief hand
bill or'dodger," setting forth what
ever could be made to appear often
sive IN the Republican position on
Chimes cheap labor. Este conferred
at once with Hadley, and what pur-
portfolio be an interview with Gar
field Was at first concocted. This was
taken to headquarters and to the
private rooms Of Mr.. Barnum and
Mr.. Dickinson. 1t came back chang.
ed to the form of letter, but with
the Important phrases preserved.
This IDENTICAL paper. with the origi-
nal suggestion for campaign "dodg-
er" and the changes made at head
quarters, Mr.. Davenport has seen.
The Startling fact is that the precise
words Of the important phrases Of
this paper are those afterward found
In the forged letter as published.
The paper was given to Hadley.
