BRADY,S NEWSPAPER VENTURES.
The Large sums that He Spent-A De-
Tense by His Evening Paper

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Brady's ev-
ening paper prints defense of his in
vestment in Washington newspapers,
drawn out by Mr.. Merricks reference
es to them in his speech. The purchase
of the National Republican, the Eueaing
Critic, and Sunday Capitai is credited
to Brady's faith in newspapers as
means to profitably employ his wealth
and leisure. Some inquiry shows he put
in great deal of money, but that mis-
faith in newspapers have steadily de-
clined as his trial has approached its
close. He paid $50, 500 for one share
more than the majority of the stock of
the National Republican. Gorham was
employed at 500 a week, and Kilbourn
as business manager at "a 600 q year.
Other salaries were proportionately lib
eral. Every Saturday Brady gave his
check for the deficit, until at the end
of twelve months his investment in that
concern amounted to $40 000 What
be got for 1t when George Bliss and
others forced him to sell out, under a
treat to start another republican paper
to relieve President Arthur o. the odium
of having the Republican spoken of as
the organ of the administration, no one
knows exactly; hut it is very generally
believed that he gave away his stock.
The Critic has cost him first and last
$20, 700. and the Capital stands fol$10,-
600 more. Within week he has offer
ed his interest in each of these for sale
at low figures. Besides those mention
ed by the Critic, Brady showed his faith
in ne Sspapers by extending financial
favors to several others in the District,
and so popular did he become with the
Washington press that, outside of the
Star and Sunday Herald, there will not
be found an unkind word or even a
clipping directed against the star-route
defendants in the files of the Washing
ton daily and weekly newspapers from
the beginning of the scandal to the pres
time.
1t would be low figure to fix Brady's
investment at 100000. He will be able
to tell about the end ofnext week wheth-
er he is satisfied. To some he said:
"What you pay lawyer who adj
dresses jury in your behalfis not con-
sidered wasted, and why should one
regret what he has spent on newspapers
which speak hundred times to the
same men where the lawyer speaks but
