Party's Great Disgrace Forgery Taints Democratic Credibility
A lengthy account outlines the forged Garfield letter alleged to be circulated by Democratic leaders to influence the 1880 election. It describes the letter's origin, tampering with postmarks, and the involvement of Democratic officials led by Mr. Hewitt. The piece condemns the scheme as a deliberate political fraud aimed at swaying voters, and details investigations, testimonies, and the broader impact on public trust and party fortunes.
