After the October victory In Indiana at.
ten,.on was mainly directed to saving Now
York, and aside from buying up John
Kelly, the chlei fundamentally there was
the famous and not little dlsreputahle
"hurdy. guIdy" campaign Of ConKling and
Grant, which Dorsey glories IN as one OF
his most brilliant strokes.
The country was now pretty safe
still, there could be no success without
Indiana, and 1t was felt that though the
battle had been won there in October the
state was by no means safe for November
unless the same means were again resorled
to that had wen the previous battle. The
first requisite was more money. NOW the
October battle had cost 50 much, aud New
York was calling FOR such alarming sums,
that Dorsey was almost IN despair, until!
he bethOught HIM Of the star.rOute thieves.
Congress at the previous session had
looked into this rottonness ana CARRIED
knew all about it; ana there were ominous
ln,imations Of indictments and prosecG-
tlons. Said Dorsey to Garfield, 1--WE must
have $4,000 for Indiana in November,
and there Is no way Of getting the money
except from the star.route thieves AN
right" said Garfield, send uubbeIl to
them" And Hubbell went to Brady, but
Brady SAID, See here: We Will cheeruIly
give you the money, but then we want
something in black and white from Gar
field that we are to be let alone If lie Is
elected, and the pledge this involved was
gwen to Brady's entire satisfaction by the
famous Dear Hubbell" letter which Gar,
field thereupon wrote.
But, condensed as this sketch Is, we
have got to but the middle Of this nause
ating history. The rest Of 1t relates to
events and treacherles after the election
To how Garfield wanted Dorsey to 90 into
the cabinet, which the latter declined;
how he went back on his promise to put
Morton into the Treasury and sent him TO
France; how he betrayed Conkllng ana
drove him out OF the senate, and finally
how, after the fullest and stoutest assur.
ances to protect the starrOute thieves from
prosecution, he allowed his attorney gen
eral McVeagh to institute that prosecution,
and when Dorsey demonstrated, no" Gar
field assured him he need have nc fear,
but how McVeagh told HIM he expected
to land HIM in the penitentiary.
From the beginning to the end the his
tory is one which no American can read
without feeling Of shame for the past
and anxiety for the future. but though, "
as the JT0r!d says, "its burning disgrace
may drive from power the party lmplica-
ted IN it, we can not but regret that II Is
true. The first interest of every honest
citizen is not in party success but In honest
government The good name OF the coun.
try is more precious than the control OF lis
politics; and all honest government Is
Knocked, all good reputation brought to
shame, when we are compelled to admit
the ,reachery, the corrupt bargaining the
trading of high offices, the subornation of
influence, the matchmaking, the surrender
