Boston, Ang 15.--The Herald discussing
~ yEa hax ~,
our possession information going to show
that the exposure of the frauds was newt
able, and that James and McVeagh were
simply misunderstanding. honest and
to bring them to time. Our
is to the effect that Samuel j.
Tilden was in possession of the star route
business before the election two years ago,
but did not choose to make use of them for
reasons net wholly inconsistent with pur-
pose which he is said to have cherished to
let the men who nominated Hancock elect
him if they could. After the election and
selection of new cabinet these facts were
furnished to Mr.. James by or through Mr..
Tilden, and a double purpose was thus
promised by showing up stealing by fraudu-
lent means, and injuring the republican
party without creating fund of glory for
any democrat outside of Gfamsrcy Park.
the reason of Dorsey's action and the in
instice and absurdness of star route assaults
upon Messrs James and McVeagh appears
in a clear light. It is very evident also,
that all the disclosures are not yet made.
The trial of the conspirators has brought
out little except matters of record. The
true inwardness of the great fraud is still
hidden.

Chicago, Aug. l5.-The letter from Dor
sey to the late President Garfield excites
some comment. Gen. Swain, who was at
Mentor as confidential friend of the presi-
dent elect at the time the letter purports to
have been written, says he never saw it un-

New York, Aug. 15.-Congressman Page
was met by reporter this morning, and in
course of the conversation expressed his
opinion freely on several questions of inter
est. He first dwelt on the effects of the

the large manufacturers, especially boot and
shoe makers, are discharging their Chinese
employees to make room for white men and
girls. The consequence is, that money
