budget vouchsafes the further information
that Mr.. Jay Gould was approached for a
$4,000 subscription, and that after some
negotiations himself and another subscribed
$4,000, on condition that in the nomina-
ton of member of the Supreme Bench a
man should be appointed whose views were
favorable to the railroad corporations rep
resented by Mr.. Could" In accordance
with this agreement "Garfield subsequently
nominated the man to whom this agreement
had reference, Stanley Matthews, to the Su-
preme Bench, and Gould telegraphed Sena-
tor Plumb urging him to secure Matthews
confirmation. Matthews was confirmed by
one majority" The budget sums up the
result Of the financial operations as follows /:
"Thus, through Brady's help, large sums had
been raised from the star-route constructors.
BY following the plans of Dorsey immense
sums were secured in New York. More
than two million dollars were raised in all
for the campaign, and a canvass that had
been characterized by constant bargain and
sale between the factions of the party and
between certain capitalists and the candi-
date was brought to successful result by
means of the advances obtained" This is
a plain statement, and if uncontradicted in
a most explicit and satisfactory manner will
prove heavy load for the Republican party
TO carry in the next presidential election.
In the budget the statement is also made
that a movement was started in 1879 by
Mr.. Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, to
make Gen. Garfield the presidential candi-
date, and that the latter had full knowledge
of this movement from its inception 20 its
successful conclusion in the Chicago con-
vention. This statement is fully verified by
letters which passed between Messrs. Barker
and Garfield, and which are published in the
Philadelphia Bulletin of yesterday afternoon
by Mr.. Barker. This gentleman claims, how
ever, that the oft-repeated charges that the
late President Garfield was untrue to Sena-
tor sherman are absolutely false.--Balto.

Disreputable Political Revelations.

In recent letter To personal friend in
Arkansas Mr.. Dorsey declared that he was
greatly tempted To "brand with red hot
IRON the iniamy of some OF his associates in
the last presidential campaign, and a seven
column publication in the New York Sun
of yesterday would indicate that Mr.. Dor.
sey has yielded 10 the temptation of his de.
sires. This publication is styled IAN Alb.
stract of the Budget of Stephen w. Dorsey"
though it is not stated to have been furnished
directly by that much prosecuted individual.
According TO this budget, Mr. Dorsey made
canvass of Indiana before the October
election, and found the Republicans in n
very decided minority, He placed the mat.
ter squarely before Mr.. Garfield and the Re.
publican leaders, and informed them that
nothing but money, and u great deal of il,
would carry Indiana for the Republicans at
the October election. IN response u special
messenger arrived at Indianapolis from New
York with 100000, either in cash or con-
vertible paper, raised principally by the ef
forts OF Hon. Levi r. Morton, now minister
to France. When the money reached the
local committees ait was largely in crisp,
new So bills !" it was distributed through
the State just as ballots were, in great
punches; by noon of election day they had
fallen like snowilakes silently all over the
state, and the result was the purchase of
a Republican triumph in Indiana The
budget declares that Garfield, Arthur, Mac.
Veagh and other Republican leaders knew
at the time what had been done, all We'd in
doing Dorsey honor" More money, how.
ever, was required 10 consolidate the Octo.
Der victory in Indiana by fresh distribu.
ton among venal voters in November, and
IL was at this point that Mr.. Jay Hubbell,
chairman of the Republican Congressional
Committee, called on the star-rouie conlrac.
tors TO subscribe at least $4,000 towards
the corruption fund. Assistant Postmaster
Brady demanded of Hubbell something that
he could "iall back on in case Of trouble"
before undertaking 10 raise the amount and
the result was the writing by Garfield of
the famous "My Dear Hubbell' letter. The

Charles Haywood Stratton, better known
to the public as General Tom Thumb, died
at his residence at Middleboro', Mass, on
Sunday morning last of apoplexy. The
deceased was born in Bridgeport, Conn,
January 4, 1898, and was consequently A.
years old. At the age of IA he entered the
service of p. T. Barnum, and has been be-
fore the public ever since. He leaves a
widow, who has been constantly on the stage
with him since their marriage, in 1863 She
was the pretty and conspicuously petite
Lavinia Warren, sister of the equally pretty
and still smaller Minnie Warren, to whom
the late Commodore Mutt paid devoted at
tention for a long time, and whom he after
ward married. Tom Thumbs wedding in
Grace Church, New York, in 1868, was a
famous event, and the ceremony was wit.
messed by distinguished crowd Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Thumb Travelled all over America
and together visited England and the con-

fivors and attentions from potentates and
people of rank. Tom Thumb acquired
