Threats from Dorsey.
From. Our OWn Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23.--Gen. Bra
dy's friends have unbOuldeu confidence IN
his personal integrity, and in his remarkable
ability us Il mOney-gerter. Whatever the
star-route business may disclose with respect
to Gen. Brady's personal Integrity,
evidence undoubtedly will be produced
to show that it certainly was not necessary
for him to steal In order to become the
possessor Of an ample fortune. I had Il talk
recently with an intimate personal friend of
Gen. kr,nly, who
KNOWS SOMETHING OF Ills srocK-oPE1.A-
T1OSs.
This friend said:
"Gen, Brady hts been speculator all his
life, lie has sometimes lost, but he las
almost always been successful. lie was a
rich man whc1, he went into the Post
Office Department.. lie is 4 yeSy, rich
. iay. Tia I Iiavc ciia,lced Incidentally to know
something of his operations within tle iast Sc
year or TWO; and the other day, out OF
curiosity, l figured up the profits which
personally knew that lie had made. MY
figures make total Of over SG0o. 700 profits
! that know he has made III about Two years,
ana | at!l convinced that finy accidental
knowledge shows but 4 very small part OF
lis successful operations" ~,
