OCTOBER 3a 1880 FORGERY!!! Desperation of the Democratic Party-Finding their Mud slinging Tactics did not work, they Resort to Forgery- If encat Democrats of Cbeloya:aii will Ton llpbold a Partr that Does not Hesitate to Resort to Forgery to Advance its Hopeless Cause? The campaign draws to a close and it is well to calmly, conscientiously, and as citizens seeking the welfare of yoni country, consider well how you shall vote next Tuesday. On the one hand you hare the Democratic party; a party without principles, a party with a record they are ashamed of and hence, their only stock in trade, during the campaign has been "mud-slinging" and misrepre sentation, and as a last resort to save themselves, have not hesitated to com mit a forgery. Last week the Truth (?), a paper published in New York City, printed what purported to be a letter from Jas. A. Garfield to one, ILL. Morey, of the Employers' Union, at Lynn, Mass. This letter advocated the right of manu facturing companies and corporations to buy labor where it can be had the cheapest, and it is construed as placing Gen. Garfield upon record as favoring the extended immigration of Chinese' to this country. This letter the Truth (?) published, notwithstanding its special correspon dent at Lynn had notified it that there was no such man as Morey, nor such an organization as the Employers' Union known in that place nor never had been. The following denial of the story was drawn up and signed by the firms whose names are appended, and who represent a capital of $9,000,000, in less than an hour, and if more time could have been allowed there is no doubt but that the signatures of every manufacturer in Lynn would have been obtained: The undersigned shoe manufacturers of Lynn hereby state that there was never an organization or association called the Employers' Union, and we do not know any man by the name of H. L. Morey who was ever employed by us. or a resident of this city: Samuel M. Bub- ier, John Shaw, 2d and Bro C. S. Sweet zer & Co., Bubier Bros., S. J. Hollis, C. A. Coffin & Co., Keene Bros., Charles B. Teb botts, B. F. Spiney & Co, B. H. Doake & UC Joseph Davis & Co Luther 11. John son, A. F. Breed, Jerome Ingalls, Charles D. Pecker & Co., Morgan & Doer, F. W. lireea. The daily papers received in this vil lage last Tuesday showed conclusively that the letter was a forgery but this made no difference with the honorable (?) editor of the Democrat. He had become so habituated to mud-slinging and mis statements of facts, that he did not hes itate to make use of a known forgery in the interests of the Democratic party. He, like other Democratic editors, real ized that the situation was desperate, and did not hesitate at anything. Honest Democrats of Cheboygan county will you endorse a party that has to resort to such measures to defeat a political oppo nent. There was an experienced and shrewd Democrat, Alexander H. Stevens, who warned his associates early in the con test, that the North could not be carried by throwing mud at General Garfield. "He is an honest man," said Mr.Stevens 'and if the Democrats assail his person al character they will surely elect him.' With what contempt has his advice been received. How prophetic was the pre diction. Contrary to his advice the campaign has consisted on the part of the Democrats, in mud-slinging ex clusively, and the result was clearly shown in the verdict in Indiana and Ohio, and will be more conclusively shown next Tuesday. The Republican party is a party of principles, a party of progress, a party in favor of human liberty and human rights, a party with a record it is proud of and it comes before the people asking their confidence and support as.a party worthy of such confidence and sup port. It is willing that the two parties shall abide the verdict of an intelligent people and does not fear the result On all hands, from every direction comes word of prominent men heretofore act ing with the Democratic party, coming out boldly and advocating the election of Garfield and Arthur and acknowledging that the Republican party is the party of progress, the party in which it is safest to trust the interests of this great and glorious Union, A party that has done more for the laboring classes than any other party that ever existed. Think well before casting your next next Tuesday and then vote for the party you believe is in the right and most deseiv, ing of your support. Curried chicken at the Cafe on San-day. Marine.

Detroit. Benton Hanchett on the Two Caudl dates for Congress. In the beginning of the Congressional canvass the Democratic press of this district laid great stress upon what the Hon. Benton Hanchett proposed doing in the way of opposing Mr. Horr. Last week Mr. Hanchett spoke in East Sagi naw, and below we give an extract from his speech, showing what he thinks of the two candidates. Mr. Hanchett was a good witness for the Democrats when they thought he was opposing norr will they accept his testimony in regard to Mr. Tarsney, their candidate: As to my saying that the things that were there mentioned as brought for ward by the Democrats were true, it is false. I was called upon to state what I knew in relation to transactions which these allegations of wrong-doing had connected Mr. Horr. I did rise and tell what I knew about them. And I said that so far as there being any wrong on Mr. Horr's part, I never knew, I never suspected, I never heard there was any wrong about them; and I added that if all the things that were to be al -leged against Mr. Horr were true, I would then support him in preference to Mr. Tarsney (great applause!, and I will tell you the reason why I said it. I have known Mr. larsney and Mr. liorr about the same length of time. I have worked with Mr. Horr and I have work ed against him, and I have seen him placed in temptation. I have worked with Mr. Tarsney and I have worked against him, and I have seen him placed in positions of temptation; and from all I know about these two men, from all I have heard about them, I prefer Mr. Horr in every respect. Applause and cheers. Now, I submit to any Republi can or any Democrat if I have evaded this question. An I'nealled for Attack.

Do you want such favoritism shown in all offices. Democrat. We would ask all fair minded citizens Democrats, Greenbackersor Republicans to read the above and then consider that the uncalled for attack upon the char acter of Mr. Ford is made by the ; organ of the Democratic ring that has sojlong controlled political matters in this coun ty for the furtherance of their own in terests, and made in the interests of the Democratic party. Do you approve of this mode of political warfare? There is not a man in this town Democrat or no Democrat, who will believe a particle of the insinuation made, neither does the editor of the Democrat himself. Mr. Ford is too well known for it to injure him but it shows the spirit that animates the honorable (?) editor of the Democrat. Curried veal at the Cafe on Sunday. NOTICE.

A ehange of 20,000 votes to the Republican party within two years in so closely a contested state is signifi cant of the final overthow of the Demo cratic party. This revolution not only means the deieat or nan cock in Novem ber, but it means the disbandment of the Democratic organization, to be followed by the disruption of the Republican party and the reconstruction of parties on new issues. The disintegration of the southern wing of the Democratic party is now far advanced in nearly every southern state. With a reasonable certainty of electing HancocK, tne southern Democrats would have stuck to the national ticket until the 2d of November, and cast 138 electoral votes f r the Democratic candidate. But the unex pected and overwhelming disaster in Indiana will paralyze southern Demo crats. The 138 southern electoral votes cannot now be .counted as secure for Hancock. Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida may now be counted as doubtful states. The change of opinion developed by the result of Wednesday's election in Indiana has fairly stunned the southern Democrats. They see in that result a solid north for Garfield. As an independent journal, the Avalanche deems it unnecessary to disguise the full extent and the far reaching consequences of the great Democratic disaster. In the presence of a political solid north the political solid south will disappear. There are now two solid sectional parties. There will continue to be two of these section al parties until -one of them takes the lead in the work of disbandment. The Indiana verdict demands that the politi cal solid south shall be the first to disband, and if the Democrats of the south are wise they will gracefully accept the ver dict, with the lull assurance that with the final disapperance of tho solid south the solid north also finally disappears. EMMA WYJlAS'SLIES. A Plain Statement of the rtM.tsln the Horr-Uarable Matter, Disclosing the Disreputable Methods to Which Mr. Tarsney Stoops to Deceive the Peo ple. From the Saginaw Herald. Since Mr. Tarsney has brought the af fairs of the Gamble family into the con gressional contest, and is causing the false and malicious letter f Mrs. Wy man to be circulated broadcast, it may be well to state a few of the facts in the case. The affairs of the Messrs. norr and John Gamble were refered to arbitra tion. Mr. Gamble chose J. C.Leonard, Mr Wnrr hosfl Frank Lawrence, and the two chose A. H. Mershon as a third, for referee. These parties are all Demo crats, and Messrs. Lawrence and Mer shon now live here, ana are me political supporters of Mr. Tarsney. After some months' labor these parties finished the nnd fnnnd that Mr. Gamble was largely in debt to Mr. Horr and his two brothers, wno nau iuruisueu large amount of money. The question of standing timber was settled in this wise. The timber was estimated by John L. Hayden and J. D. Sparrow, and the value of timber and lands settled by A. W.Wright and C. K. Eddy as we are informed. The final result of the whole arbitration was that John Gamble was indebted to the Horrs something like $23,000. In conversation with Mr. Law rence a few days since he stated dis tinctly that the arbitration was a fair and impartial one, and that in almost all the questions of difference raised Mr. Mershon decided with him and against Mr. Gamble's accountant, Leonard. We make no part of this statement upon Mr. Horr's authority, but solely upon the word of others familiar with the facts, and who had not a dollar of interest in the matter. We do not believe that Mr. nartiaan of Mr. Tarsney. as he is, or Mr. Mershon, will endorse the statements put lorm mme circulars printed and circulated by Mr. Tarsney onA hia friends. The friends of Mr. Horr have no fears of the truth, but they have a right to ana ao stigmatize the circulation of falsehoods when facts oni truths a within their reach, as degrading and disgraceful to Mr. Tar sney and to every one connected with it. It is put forth over the name of a wo man to create sympathy, but liars breed contempt, whether maie or iemaie, aim ihnaa mhn pirpiilfltfl them are eauallv contemptible and criminal. We add one further fact: two years ago, wnen tuese matters were also thrown up in a dif ferent shape, Messrs R. A. and Chas. J. Horr offered publicly to restore all the property to the Gamble estate, if they would pay the amount found due them by arbitration' less $15,000, they would willingly lose that sum to get rid of the property. This offer has never been accepted, and probably never will be, as no man who knows thoroughly the property would be likely to covet such an investment What Democratic Free Trade Wonld Do.

Public opinion will bold, and justly hold, that men like Mr. Hewitt, Speaker Randall, and others owed it to their own charac ters and to the common decencies of life to be somewhat slower in bearing wit ness, and a good deal more careful than they have been before allowing them selves, for partisan ends, to become part ners in a gross fraud upon the public. , BIG REWARD FOR THE FORGER, New York, Oct 26, The Tribune fur nishes the following; "Congressman Chittenden, of Brooklyn, will pay $5,000 reward for evidence furnished at any time during the month of October or November leading to the arrest and conviction of the man who forged the handwriting and signature of Gen. J. A. Garfield in the so-called Chinese letter. THE FORGERY A WELL LAID PLOT. Washington, D. C, Oct 26. New evi dence of the conspiracy of the Demo cratic committee in the matter of the forged Chinese letter are being discovered daily. The Democratic committee here has ready for distribu tion to different parts in the country, for use on election day, large white badges upon which the text of the forged letter is printed. The Democrats have evidently laid this plot for weeks, and have all the machinery ready to spring it upon the country in the last week of the campaign, before the forgery could be exposed, THE BRAND OF FORGERY AS DISCLOSED BY THE POSTMARK. Washington, D. C Oct. 26. The Evening Star gives the following ex planation of additional evidences of forgery which postmaster Ainger has dis covered in the postmark of the fraudu lent Chinese letter: "To-day Col. Ain ger, upon a searching examination of the fac simile, has discovered even great er discrepancies, and of such a nature as to appear conclusively that the letter is a deliberate forgery. The date stamp on the alleged letter is Jan. 23. On the 13th of January Mr. Ainger took charge of the Washington postoffice as postmaster. He found that the date-stamp then in use was so nearly worn out that he at once made a request upon the Postmaster-General for authority to get a new set of stamps, this for the reason that the stamps in use did not legibly bring out either the date mark or the '"Wash ington, D. C." Tne date s amp used on the 13th of January and up to the time of changing the same was a stamp of a uniform pattern used by all postmasters. When the new date stamps weie ordered, Colonel Ainger requested that the year should appear as well as the date of the month on the stamp. The department allowed this to be done, and the result was that the stamn had necessarily to be enlraged., go. that,, in general ap pearance, the date stump used by the city postmasters was of the uniform pat tern used by all post masters, it was, in fact larger than any used, because of the year being placed therein, which is not the case with any other postoffice. The forger, therefore, overlooking this, failed to iucrease the size of the stamp. Democratic Disreputable Tactics A set of stereotype plates of the alleg ed Garfield letter was received at the News office yesterday from the Demo cratic national committee, but the fact that the letter was a forgery had already been announced, and, of course, the plates were not used. To-day the Free Press suppresses the news of the dis covery of the forger and prints the fac simile of fie forgery. Such is its stand ard of honesty. I'he Detroit Evening News of Tuesday.
