CHICAGO, July 3O.-The revelations of
ex-senator Dorsey made to Chicago
Journalist who visited him at mis- New
Mexican ranch have created even greater
interest throughout the country than the
original and incorrect recital printed in
the New York Sun. Mr.. Dorsey's own
utterances, authorized and authenticated,
must be accepted as the truth. To-day
an additional chapter of absorbing inter
est at this instance is furnished. Mr..
Dorsey speaks plainly of the New York
conference, of the organization of the
national convention, of the election in New
York and Brooklyn in which he makes
some startling disclosures and treats of a
variety of other subjects in way that
cannot fail to arrest public attention.
His estimate of President Arthur may be
thought severe, but it must be remember
ed that no man has had better opportunity
to form an estimate of his character.
That he should speak plainly is scarcely a
matter of surprise, for Mr.. Dorsey does
not much like the president now.
The former conversation was broken in
on by lunch. In the afternoon Mr.. Dorsey
said to his guest on the Veranda:
THE NEW YORK CONFERENCE.
What was that the Snn had about that
New York conference? I wish you would
read it to me again. The correspondent
pulled out his paper and read the
story as told-how the conference was ar
ranged between the Garfield party and the
New Workers how the latter agreed to
supply the sinews of war if Garfield would
promise to make man of their selection
secretary of the treasury; how in further
agreement the New York party was to have
the funding Of the loan in accordance with
the bill then pending, and which all knew
would pass both houses; how Garfield
agreed to all that was suggested, and that
then the foodgates of money opened and
the golden stream poured forth. Mr..
Dorsey listened to the reading with a
smile.
'That is a pretty story" he said, 0and
ingeniously told. Brigham is quite SEN
sational. 1 didn't know it was in him. But,
like that other story of Matthews, it is only
based upon truth. That is, the main facts
are correct, the filling in is fanciful.''
''But there was a conference, was there
not?"

sob, yes, there was one. Garfield came
to New York solely upon representations

Thomas G. Platt, together with myself. re-
presenting the Grant side of the house, felt
it vitally important he should. Gey.Jewell

most eve;y prominent man in the
country of our party to be present and
the 5th of August to meet the candidate.
I only did this after consulting the Hon.
Frank Hiscock, Arson McCook and others
who, at that time. seemed to be the repre-
sentative men of the opposition to Grant
and ConkliDg. The kilograms 1 sent to
Gen. Garfield were written under the in
spection of Frank Hiscock and Gen.
McCook, who, in large measure, dictated
their contents, as they will bear witness.
felt it my duty to call Mr.. Hiscock from
his home in Syracuse to New York to
obtain his judgment. Gen. McCook was
always at my elbow, wise, prudent and
directory. Gen. Arthur was at the other
end of the table equally anxious, and, |
might say solicitous, that Gen. Garfield
should visit New York. may say right

THE BIGGEST COWARD WE HAD
in all that company was Arthur himself.
He was always afraid of defeat, always
nervous and anxious, and always without
remedy. He didn't know what to do
He was as helpless as baby and as void
of resources. He had nothing to offer but
plants and fears, and his face at critical
moments was in itself enough to defeat
less heroic measures than those we adopt
ed. When somebody said bring Garfield
to New York Arthur grasped al
it with avidity, and pleaded TREMENDOUSLY
