When the congress ordered an investi-
CATION into the system of letting the star
route contracts, Gen. Garfield, at Gen.
Brady 's!reqUest, made a very thorough ex-
animation into the whole matter. The
result was that he assured Gen Brady and
Senator Dorsey that he was satisfied the
system could be defended, and he prom
ised when the sp cial appropriation for
which Gen. Brady asked should come before
the house that he would not only vote for
it, but would also defend it upon the floor.
Realizing Garfeld's great influence, not
only with the appropriations committee,
but also on the floors both Brady and Dor
sey were satisfied that the accusations
against them would be satisfactorily de-
Tended. They had received Gartield's most
positive assurance that he would do all in
his power to set them right, and they had
every reason TO believe that he would keep
his word. But when the matter came up
Garfield not only failed them, but he
also allowed his influence to dwindle
into insignifcance by pairing with a
member Of the house and leaving
town when the matter came up. Dor
sey was inclined to forgive him for this ::
not Brady. The second assistant post
master general realized that Garfield had
discovered that very large sums of money
were received by the star route contrac-
tors, and he was inclined to think that
Garfield would be disposed to make use of
this knowledge at later day. Therefore,
Brady thought Garfield did not care to go
on record, except sufficiently to satisfy the
men who had asked him to defend them.
All this occurred some months before the
Chicago convention. 1t was we'll known
that Brady favored the nomination of
Blaine, while Dorsey professed to be en-
tirely for Grant.

In the winter of 1880 club of the ''bet-
ter element was organized in Philadel-
phia by young man, with political aspi-
ratlons, named Wharton Barker. This
club, among other great missions, under
took to prevent the nomination of either
General Grant or James G. Blaine. Mr..
Wayne MacVeagh was a member of the
club. He had profound dislike for
Blaine, having characterized him as the
most dangerous man in American politics.
Mr.. Wharton Barker regarded the threat
ened nomination of Grant as a dangerous
innovation. The point was to find the
man who could beat both of these in the
Chicago convention. Many names were
suggested. Sherman-he would not do.
he had no elements of popu-
larity; Edmunds-he would not do.
because they would tell about
the black bottle he kept in his committee
room; Hawley-oh, no; he came from an
Insignificant state and was something of a
blusterer, and SO on. At last one evening
Mr.. Barker suggested the name of James
A. Garfield. It was well received by near
ly all the members of the club. Then a
thin man, with foxy face and an icy ex-
preston, arose. He was Mr.. Wayne Mac
Veagh. "The proposition" he said, sis
absurd. Garfeld's record is so bad that
the party could not afford to nominate
him. The history of the Credit Mobilier
case, of the De Golyer business, and of
other matters that have not yet
been made public would all come out. No.
gentlemen, we cannot afford to think of
Garfield"
Stephen w. Dorsey heard of this speech
afterward, and Garfield heard Of it, and

That Stanley Matthews Should

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The sequence Of
the nomination of Garfield, was ended
with the verdict in the recent star route
trials. Two of the defendants iu these
trials were so intimately connected with
the Republican canvass in 1880, and one
of them, at least, so connected because of
his relations with the star route contrac-
tors, that the very remarkable history of
that canvas has been really in their power
TO tell. They have both refrained from
doing so, because they were under fire,
and because they knew that they had the
sympathy of many of the leading Repub-
Hcan politicians. Both Brady and Dorsey
have over and over again received assur-
ances from these managers of sympa thy,
not infrequently coupled with the asser-
tion that no case of ingratitude is known
that compares with that Of the admin
istration, which was not only willing but
q lxious to secure all the aid these two de-
PENDANTS could give during the canvass,
and then, having obtained that aid, was
willing to turn around and persecute them.
Whatever wrong there may have been in
the star route contract system, the Repub-
lican managers in 1880 either knew or sus-
pected, and they were then ready to get
such advantages therefrom as were posi-
BILE. 1t is not to be wondered at, there
fore, that both Dorsey and Brady feel to-
day anything but gratitude toward the
party they did so much to keep in power,
nor can the defendants in the recent trials
be held as specially unfaithful, if from
them some of the very remarkable secrets
of that most remarkable canvass are
learned. The canvass was involved
from the beginning with these two
men. Dorsey was the brains of
the Republican national committee.
Brady's knowledge of Indiana politics was
constantly brought into requisition, and
he was begged, pleaded with and almost
ordered to receive money from these very
star route contractors for the purposes of
the campaign. To both, Gen. Garfield and
the party managers constantly acknowl-
edged their obligation; to both, Gen. Gar
field at least had expressed his opinion
that there was nothing unlawful in the
star route business; while to both, other
Republican managers, such men as Hub
bell, Jewell, Gen. Arthur and others had
said that the star route contractors ought
to be required to contribute literally, be-
cause they were getting large sums for
their work through the favor of the gov
ernment. To Brady and Dorsey the sub
sequent course of the administration
seemed ungrateful. The thought that the
party managers were entirely willing to
reap such advantages as could be obtained
from the star route contract system, ana
having done so, and having thereby sue
ceeded in remaining in power, they
showed themselves also entirely willing to
get further party advantages by prosecut-
ing men for doing the very thing that had
before been of such value to the party.

ton, had won. The Democratic party
was showed under by greenbacks, and a
great hurrah went up all over the land
among the Republicans that the principles
of the party had triumphed in Indiana.
The Fifth Avenue hotel conference was a
success, and Dorsey was admired and
congratulated. Subsequently Gen. Arthur,
then vice-president elect, in a burst of
confidence at the famous dinner given to
Dorsey, summarized it all in one word
'Soap." Garfield, Arthur, James, Wayne
MacVeagh, and other Republican leaders
knew at the time what had been done, and
all We'd in doing Dorsey honor.
