A QUESTION which we have heard
asked frequently since Gen. Barnes
speech placing in nomination for
Governor OF California in the late
Republican Convention General hi.
mond is By what authority was the
alleged letter from the White Boot
and Shoemakers' League, OF San
Francisco, issued? Our worthy con-
temporary from Gen. Barnes village
has the following to say on the sub
ject: at will be interesting to know
who authorized Gen. Barnes to
pledge the labor unions OF San Fran
cisco to support the Republican tick
ct, as also who was the author OF the
alleged letter from the Boot and
Shoe Makers White Labor League
to that effect. II the General has
such letter he ought to produce it.
II he has not it is in order to inquire
why he stated that he had. The
president of the Boot and Shoe
League says there is no such docu-
ment in existence. If it be a forgery
the public and the league are inter
ested in knowing who forged it. The
matter is certainly worthy Of inves-
tigation. 1t may be remarked, how
ever, In this connection that Gen.
Barnes did not produce the letter
which he said he had. He an
nounced IL as being in his pocket,
and he permitted it to stay there"
Our contemporary is mistaken in
the concluding portion of the above
editorial. The gallant General did
produce a paper and read from 1t a
hearty endorsement by the above
named society in favor OF Gen. Di-
mond, and with much flourish an
nounced, after reading the docu-
ment, that it bore the official impress
Of the league.
