he did collect large sum Of money, part CT
which he took to Indiana, where ii WAS spent,
with Gar6eld's knowledge, by himself, an
where it would do the most I'D. More than

! psisn in fodiana, while bot so costly as the
| first, was very expensivv, Whtls in NV York
and Kings county the m line of argument
| was most effectively used An outside in
| duence stepped in during the winter, and one
which neither Garfield or D r4ev reckoned
upon, and made it impossible for Garfield to-
carry out one OF the agreements. Congr, ga
| had passed the funding law, which was TO be
| the basis Of the prof able refun ling opera
ZION for the New York syndicate that had
been agreed on at the Fifth Avenue confer
ence. There was, however, man at the
head of the Treasury Departm ant who not
| only believed that the successful candidate
for the Presidency had been treacherous 20
him at Chicago, but who had also learned
OF the Fifth Avenue agreement. This Sc
retary, Mr.. John S9ermap, welded
Hayes as he willed, and Hayes, at Sher-
mans dem and, vetoed the funding bili
Garfield knew and Dorsey knew that Sherman
had accomplished two purposes with that
| veto. Thus it will be seen that through no
fault of 4rfisid, one gr-ement was not kept.
E rly in The winter OF 1881 G n. G field Of
| Tered to Dorsey place in his Cabinet H
bad not only early decided to appoint Blaine
Secretary of State, but there is good reason
for the suspicion that has been entertained
that it ra' the nderstanding that this should
be done when Blaine's vote was transferred
TO Garfield at Chicago. Dorsey knew of this
intention and regarded the appoin ment as
one with VIII ca no great fault could be found.
But, though Dorsey dec ined this, say ing to
| the Prssiden:- elect that there was no ap-
poiniiye place 10 the gift OF anyoae which he
would accept, still Garfield hoped to induce
him 10 recon slider. As late as February Gar
hsid is rtporttd by r publican politician,
who met him at Mentor, 10 have told him
that he hsd cided TO appoint Ex-senator
DJrsey Secretary of the Interior. But if
DORSEY DECLINED TO 60 INTO THE CABINET
himself hs waa Tree 10 make frequent aud

who learned early in the winter thai G sr6eld
had otoer understandings than that with the
Sta'warts at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, ami
that these would c,mpel him 10 appoint his
Secretary OF the Treasury from the Wes'. He
had intimsted early to Mr. Morton that he
won be appointed Minister to Franc, an 1
with this Mr.. Morton had 10 he content.

TO hear the Attorney General say that h
