Flat Contradictions from Men Mentioned
in the Alleged Revelations.
CHICAGO, Aug The Herald prints series
Of interviews with the gentlemen mentioned
by Dorsey in his recent revelations. Mr..
Dana, in reference to Dorsey's allegations that
the previous publications of the Sun were un-
authorized by him, says he has nothing to say,
and when he has he will say it in the SUM-
Mr.. George Jones, editor of the Times pre-
nounces as a falsehood Dorsey's statement that
the Times became Dorsey's enemy because he
refused to divide the National Republican
committees patronage SO the Times could get
some instead Of the Tribune getting all He
never asked the committee for anything. We
took such advertising as came, in the regular
way. We sent Gen. Arthur check for $1Cc0
for campaign expenses. We never saw Dorsey
but once viz at Delmonico's, at dinner after
the campaign.
Whitelaw Reid, editor of the Tribune, says
that SO far as he is concerned there is no truth
in the story of Stanley. Matthews nomination
to the Supreme bench being secured by con-
tribntions of $4,000 each by Mr. Jay Gould
and Mr.. G. 2. Huntington. Mr.. Reid never
directly or indirectly made such bargain
with Garfield: II don't believe it was ever
made," said Mr.. Reid. "He never asked me
for Mr.. Matthews appointment. | did not
think that Garfield was to appoint him.
Mr.. Thomas @. Platt refused to say whether
or not Dorsey's statement that Platt carried
the Gould-Huntington subscription to Indiana
is true or not. He says he has personal rea-
sons for declining TO answer any insinuations
that Dorsey makes concerning him.
Il. Stephenson, then president of the Fifth
National Bank, whom Dorsey says was the
Custodian OF 100000 of the Republican CAM
paign fund, says the statement that he or the
Fifth National Bank had anything to do with
the disbursements for campaign purpoces is an
infamous lie. II will give $500 for any proof
to the contrary" he said. He is friend of
Dorsey's, but is unwilling that Dorsey should
associate him with matters he had nothing to
do with. He never even cashed anybody's
check for political purpcnes. He was in In
diana, but not for political reasons, and was
not in snybody's employ, but was on vaca-
tion. He gave to the cause personally-purely
personally. He will give $500 for proof that
