of letting star route contracts, General Gar

very thorough examination iuto the whole
matter. The result was that he assured Gan
eral Brady and Senator Dorsey that he was
satisfied that tie system would be defended,
and promised that when the special appropri-
alton for which General Brady asked should
come before the House, he would not only
vote for it, but would slso defend It upon the

him for this, hnt not Brady. Both Garfield
and Dorsey realized that il WAS work that
amounted TO Eoshirg less than organizing

''the star route contractors must eubscsibs
at least $40, ,000 to the campaign fund, and you

in Garfield. He could not forget ths5 Gar,
field had promised TO defend the star-route
appropriations and bad failed to do so. Still,
after considering the matter for while,
Brady said he would try to raise the money,
provided satisfactory documents were re-
caived from Garfield. 1t was about this time
that CON plants were msde both to Brady
and Dorsey that General Gsrfeld's hospital
