are things which some other =, rn Kepno,Sai1S v,i
hear that his activity ill Indiana Is to be used
as a club against him i'll this star-route busl-
ness. Why, they have really got somebody
who was employed under him to make some
sort Of statement as to the manner 1t.;i,dn N
campaign,-the object Of it being to attempt
to connect the star-route people i'll solme way
with the Indiana can,paign.fnnd. Very
likely the star-route geop!e d4d make con-

heiped to spend the money under
him, for hotelexpenses, railroad-fares,
brass-bands, aud all the ttumn1ery
endcayured to give the prosecuting reform
syndicate handle with WHICH TO assail Dor
sey; but my prediction. is, that Dorsey vii
tell his own story, and that it will not be
necessary for any pals to peach on hlru.
Il tits star-route business is forged
too far, Mr. Dorsey will be very like
" to make it his business to be
present in Washington next winter as L vol-
untary witness before investigating colunllt-
tees; and, ii, the ross-examinatlon upon the
wltness-stand, he wiil be able to tell a good
many things which he might not desire to
tell otherwise. II he has anything to tell, It
probably will be interesting to hear; and. II
it is going to hurt anybody, it will be solne-
believe what everybody says, he is already
hurt beyond recovery" +. 3. W.
