WASHINGTON, Oct. Is, 1894

StoA"ilON VI Ht' . IShO HIhloCI1 "
the trumped-up charge against Mr..
Morton, the Republican candidate
for governor Of New York, of hay
ing violated the alien contract labor
law, knowing when he did so that
it was done for no other purpose
than to attempt to array the labor
organizations of New York against
Mr. Morton, and that no attempt
was really to be made to convict
Mr.. Morton Of the absurd charge,
the idea being merely to keep the
matter open until the election. The
facts in the case, which were
promptly stated by Mr. Morton as
soon rs his attention was called to
the matter, are plain enough for
the most bigotted Democrat to see.
The man in question is an English
man who was employed by Mr.,
Morton as u domestic seryant-a
class expressly excepted by the alien
contract law, and q class in which
white male Americans are seldom
found-while he was in London.
and who returned with him in that
capacity when he came home. Had

for governor Of New York the case
never would baye been heard Of.
