DORSEY TALKS PLAINLY.

Ex-senator Dorsey, who has just had :.
genuine Republican vinhication in the
Star Route Trials, says the following un-
pleasant things about some OF his late
associates:
The intensity Of Mr.. MacNcagh's ha.
tired for inc IL sufficiently attestcd by the
fact that about his first exercise Of official
power was To inaugurate against me q
scheme Of vengeance, Nobody knew
better than MacNca2h and James that
had never made Il penny out OF the Post
once Department, and that not II cent
iiad ever been paiu To me or 10 any one
FOR me out Of the public treasury. Men
absolutely unknown TO me, men whose
occupation was 80 yilo that ! would not
write it here, were brought here by the
prosecutors tby Attorney General Brew
stcr, Mr.. George Bliss, Mr. Mcrrick and
Mr.. ker, that is to say TO testify on tho
witness stand to what tho prosecution
knew to he absolutely and unqualiiicdly
false. The public has been made to be-
lieve that have taken from tho Treasii-
ry millions Of dollars. That belief has
been brought about by the persistent and
continuous charges Of mislcd newspapers
Garfield knew ii was lie, Arthur knew
was lie, MacVcagh knew it was lie,
brewster knew 1t was lie, Bliss knew it
was lic--all of them, from the stalled OK
feeding ut the rich trough of accident to
the Ineanest worm which fed from tho
refuse swept from behind him, knew 4.
%as q lie.
The man who says these things about
Garfield, Arthur and Others dined with
President Arthur and others after the
presidential election, and MIR. Arthur
accredited him with carrying Indiana
for the Republicans by hard work and
plenty Of money. 1t is not strange that
he should complain of the late treat.
ment he has received ut the hands of
his quondam friends. Commenting on
this letter Of Dorsey's, the New York
| Herald says:
These arc serious accusations. If At
| torney General brewster is guilty of sub
| ornation of perjury, if Mcssrs. Bliss
Merrick AMI ker are guilty with him,
| they deserve to bc hold Infamous il
ex-Attorney General MacVcagh and ex-
| Postmaster General James, out Of mere
hatred and malice misusod their power
| AZ government officers TO bring what thcy
knew to bo u false and Infamous accusa-
ton against Mr.. Dorsey, they have made
themselves Infamous In tho cyes of ali
| upright men. If Goncrnl Garfield and
MIR. Arthur permitted this, knowing 1t tC
be unjust and wrong. thoy arc no better
than the others. 1t is we'll for all whom
MIR. Dorsey thus specifically accuses to
make reply. Silonco will not be held by
| tho public Il sufficient answer to such
serious accusations, so responsibility made
If the men put in high Office by tile
Republican party have done these things
the party which is ruled by them should
be driven from power, for cntrus,ing the
government to the hands Of very bnG
men. If they arc not guilty, then the
result of the Star Route trials shows that
it is impossible to punish Republican
who has money for robhing the govern
ment, as long as the Republican party
retains the administration of public
affairs. In either event, the Star Route
trials have been enough to disgust the
voters OF tho whole Unien with the Re
publican party and its judicial executive
departments. These trials ought to gain
thousands OF votes for the Democrats ir
the approaching elections.
