WASHINGTON, June 12.--Senator
Van Wyck has written another letter
to the postmaster general concerning
the Nebraska mail route, recently let
to Miner. He says: ga vision or
messenger must have appeared to
Miner In the prisoners dock, advising
him to present himself at the post
office department at a certain hour,
and to be conveniently In the room
adjoining that of the chief of the
bureau, but not engaged 80 noisily In
business, or abstrscted In thoughts of
prison gloom, to which the bureau was
aiding to plunge him, as to prevent his
overhearlng the conversation of the
chief and a portion of the Nebraska
delegation, and that then, forgetting
his prosecution and forgiving his tor
mentors, he should at once relieve the
perple xed bureau by sending q clerk
to convey the joyful tidings that
HE WOULD CHEERFUJLY ACCEPT
the proffered route. Strange that
innocent circumstances should wear
the semblancs Of conspiracy! In this
case Miner was doubtless most ipno-
cent and the Nebraska delegation
most guilty, as will appear hereafter,
and the contract bureau a victim,
willing, however, to be deceived.
The excuse for this illegal letting was
that since congress- adjourned strong
petitions, bearing the names of the
beat men In Nebraska and Dakota,
were urging Il. The records of your
department show three petitions, one
from Neigh, over 150 miles east of
Fort Niobrars, on the line of the
Sioux City & Pacific railroad, con-
taining 140 names; the second care
fully omits to give any locality, but
from the text evidently comes from
tho Black Hills country, with 100
names; the third and last represented

About one year ago my daughter commenced
taking your Sarsaparila. At that time she
had very little appetite; could take no long
walks, and her lace was badly broken out
with ahumor. She was lOw-spirited; troubled
with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed
to be poor, and she was in q condition which
caused us great anxiety. After taking one
bottle of your Sarsaparilla she began to inn
prove; and she now has good appetite and
can take much longer walks. Her humor Is
ago She is in better spiriis il NOT troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously And
j attribute this Improvement in her condi-

taken six bottles, and intends TO continue its

Stephen w. Dorsey, the prosecuted Star
Route man disbursed 100000 in the State
of Indiana in the campaign of 1880, says:
"There were about enough two-dollar
bills in Indiana that year to meet the
wants OF trade" The bills were sent into
Indiana in sheets, brand new from the
Government Printing office, and were
placed where they would do the most
good. No well informed Republican will
deny that Stephen w. Dorsey. then Sec-
retary of the Republican National Com
mittee, went to Indiana in 1880 with Gov
ernment money, furnished bv John Sher-
man, then Secretary of the Treasury, to
hire men to stuff the ballot box and cor
rupt voters. In the latter part of Septem-
ber, 1880, Dorsey opened his headquarters
for Northern Indiana at the Grand Pacific
Hotel, Chicago, and then and there in
structed the Chairmen of Republican Gen.
trail Committees, or their authorized rep
resentatives, in the n,0dus Operdndi of in
creasing Republican majorities by false
counting and buying floaters. The in
creased Republican majorities of that year
showed how well Dorsev's scheme had
worked in Indiana. When Mr.. Fish
back gets through with the tariff discus
siop, showing how the farmers and labor
ing men are robbed for the enrichment of
monOpolists, he should tell an anxious
people what he knows about the S4OO, 900
brought into Indiana by Dorsey in 1880 to
hire men to stuff the ballot-box and cor
