WASHINGTON, Dec. Is.
MENTOR, O., Aug. %, 1SSO-MY DEAR
HusRshL: Yours of the 10Th inst. received.
Please say to Brady I hope will ne give Us
all the assistance possible. I think he can
help effectively. Please tell me how the
departments generally are doing. AS ever
yours, (Slgned) j. A. GARFIELD.
This letter, the original of Which is in
this city, has secret history never before
explained. One day jay Hubbell, who now
has a national reputation as tax gatherer
of blood money, called on Gen. Tom
Brady, in his Office in the postoffice depart
ment, in state bordering on desperation:
He explained that the congressional con-
mittee had raised all the money 1t was
possible to get OFT Of the clerks in the ex-
ecutive depar.. ment; that they we're $780,
OO0 short. and unless it was raised Garfield
would Je defeated. To this Brady replied:
Il have nothing to do with that. My
candidate at Chicago was Blaine. He was
defeated. was among q number of Re-
publicans who felt so-ely disappointed be-
cause Blaine was not nominated and Gar
| field was. Why do you come to me with
your troubles?"
| Thereupon Hubbeli sat down ana labored
with Brady. He dwelt with emphasis upon
the great probability that if the money
needed was not raised the Democrats would
Certainly elect Hancock. Il have exhausted
every other resource" said he, ''and I now
come to YOU"
| ''And you want me to raise $50 000," said
Brady with that peculiar nonchalance Of
the man.
eyes, and as soon as possible,' said
| Hubbell, nervously.
"Well," said Brady, II can raise this
money. 1 will raise it if you will ag, ee TO
| my terms. You, of course, know from
| whom shall raise it. Before 1 do any-
thing in the matter, however, want a let

| to me the assured fact that he knows I am
to raise it. Garfield knows do not favor
his administration
Hubbell then and there declared he
would write the letter requested to Gen.
Garfield, and on the same day he did
address a letter which called forth the
reply at the beginning of the dispatch. On
the day that Hubbell's letter reached Men
tor, Stephen W.s,Dorsey, ex-senator from
Arkansas, also arrived there. He sat with
Gen. Garfield as he opened his mail. When
HubbelPs letter was reached he handed it
to Dorsy, who also read it. The first i'm
pulse of the general was to answer it at
once, indeed, re was about to proceed to do
so when Dorsey said:
'Are you going to answer this letter."
eyes" said Garfield. 81 was just about
to do it."
''Well, if I we're you" said Dorsey 81
would not write to Brady, as Hubbell sug-
gests, but write to Hubbell instead
General Garfield did as Dorsey
suggested, and penned the ''My Dear Hub
bell" letter. The motive Dorsey had in
constraining the subsequently elected
president not to write to Brady was be-
cause of his own personal hatred to
Brady. During the entire presidential
campaign Dorsey and Brady did not speak
to each other, and when thrown together
scarcely tolerated recognition. Dorsey did
not want Gen. Garfield to write to Brady.
because he wanted Brady to remain under
the impression that he was to be over
Swallowed in case CT Garheld's election.
Until the star route prosecutions began
they did not resume their friendly rela-
tions. Upon the receipt of the ''My Dear
| Hubbell' letter, it was taken at once to
Brady. At first he was not disposed
| to do anything because the letter had not
been directed to him in person. A condi-
ticn of action On his part was that he
| should retain the letter. This was COM
| piled with and Brady now has it. Touch
ing the $4,000, Brady did raise the money
from the star route contractors, and turned
it over to Jay Hubbell. As Garfield was
elected, this $4,000 no doubt contributed
largely to Republican victory.
JAY HUBBELL
was in his seat IN the house to-day. He
expressed himself vigorously in regard to
Ferry's fight for the Michigan senator
ship, saying all kinds of wicked things
against Ferry himself. In an interview
tonight Hubbel charges that Ferry made
a corrupt use of federal patronage and
money in securing votes in the Legislature.
He says Ferry is a moral
imbecile, who, under cloak
of temperance principles, INDUCES
freely in intoxicants. 'If," says HubbeD,
this man should be reelected to the SEN
ate, it will result in the disruption of the
Republican party in Michigan. He de-
MES Ferry's assertion that he issued his
notorious assessment circular against the
wish of the administration, and says that
he simply followed out the instructions of
the party leaders. Hubbell INDUCES in
good deal of strong language, and says
while he has no hopes of being elected
himself, he will give odds that Ferry is de-
feated. Ferry, however, feels conidant
that he will be successful, and says
that hs is already sure of more
votes in the caucus than will be necessary
for his election. HubbelPs opposition, he
says, amounts to nothing.
