CHICAGO, July 2S.-The Chicago HeralC
prints an interview with ex-senator Dorse!
regarding the recent article to-day in th'
New York Sun assailing President Garfield
ex- Attorney General MacVeagh and ex
Postmaster Geaeral James, The most i'm
portant portions Of the Interview are al
follows
snow let me see about that Sun article
again." said Mr.. Dorsey. ~ still thinl
Mr. Dana has done me gross injustice il
publishing 1t and connecting my nam'
with it so pointedly. 1 did not write
it. did not prompt 1t. I did not know
that it was TO be,published. did not even
see It until you brought it here last even
ing, but now that 1t is published VIII say
that parts OF it, the most important parts
are true. There are other parts notoriously
untrue. l wish you would read it ovel
again slowly, and I'll tell you where it il
wrong,"
The correspondent read the opening
sentences, which asserted the supremacy
Of Brady and Dorsey In the campaign o.
1880. "I wish you'd stop right there,
said Mr.. Dorsey. "This is as good time
as any 10 set one lie at rest, and that is the
story that Brady and Dorsey, or Dorsey
aud Brady, had anything together in poll:
tics or anything else. ! am sick and tired
OF hearing and seeing the two names
brought together. AS for politics, go far as
l know, and am perfectly familiar with
the campaign OF 1880, Generals Brady took
no hand or rart in 1t, and never contri'
buted, to my knowledge, one penny to-
ward it"
BRApY's roc KETBooK NOT OPENED.
II scarcely knew Brady at that time, and
the whole talk about Brady and Dorsey
and Dorsey and Brady is the merest non
sense and bosh. II he took any part in the
campaign, or if he and the Star Route con.
tractors contributed to it, l never knew nor
heard OF it. | am certain that no Star
Route contractors, outside Of Mr.. Bosler
and myself, paid or ever gave cent to the
National Committee. General Brady and
the Star Route people had no more to do
with tile campaign nor any influence with
General Garfield in shaping his policy, al.
ter his election, than l have TO do with the
King OF SIAM"
"But," said the correspondent, "that will
hardly satisfy the country, in view OF the
Jay Hubbell letter." ayes, that damnable
letter." said the Senator laughing, ''that
did look bad. Let me give you the history
of that. l was at Mentor when General
Garfield showed me large number OF let
tiers which he thought affected the particQ.
lar management Of the campaign and re.
Quested me to dictate answers to bis steno'
erapher. Among them was the famous
Hubbel- Brady letter. ! advised General
Garfield not TO answer that letter either Ia
Hubbell or Brady,a it was thrown aside,
as | supposed, to remain in the waste
basket, but it seems after left that the
anxiety Of General Garfield to raise money
for the campaign induce him to discard
my advice, and to write the Hubbell letter
No practical result eyer came OF i, 80 far as
l know, and to the bestof my belief Gen:
eral Brady never contributed cent TO the
National Finance Committee nor TO any
other committee. No mail contractor ever
gave dollar, and all the statements that
haye been intimated by inuendo otherwise
that General Garfield and Mr.. Blaine were
trying to project Star Route contacnors is
absolutely untrue"
TIE INDIANA FIGHT.
FBady is here reported" said the cor
respondent; Has having much to do with
the October Indiana campaign Of tina,
year. As a matter Of fact had he anything
to do with it?"
"Nothing whatever. He knew nothing
about it, apparently cared nothing about II
and took no part in It. There are two men
who deserve all the credit and honor oil
political success In Indiana. They are
John G. New and Colonel W. W. Dudley.
Whatever ] did was simply to supplement
their efforts. Oicourse did all could 70
assist in organizing the party in the State,
and whatever did was done At the re-
quest Of the Republican State Committee
OF Indiana, at the earnest solicitation oi
Messrs. New aud Dudley"
"Bpt 1t seeHa You are credited with a
good deal mora than that. How about
those two:dolIar bills, ney and crisp3'
Fob, tAst'S9 mere stretch Of fancy. That
there was money used In Indiana in 1880,
certainly nobody will deny. That it has
been used always by both parties and will
be used rs long as parties exist Is simply O
truism. 1t is not proper for me at this
time to say how it was used, for what pur.
poss It yGs used, or thesources from which
1t came"
NOTHING 70 De ASHAMED OF.
"But," said the correspondent shat is
indefinite, Here you are distinctly charged
with having run things in Indiana, having
won the fight and having been rewarded
with banquet in New York."
"There is nothing in the Indiana cam
