| bad been committed on certain expedited
! routes. The new President was not only
| deeply interested but was surprised, and
! entered at once into the investigation. Mr..
! Gibson, following Mr.. MncVeagh before
the Springer committee, said that he
thought it rather remarkable that Garfield
should haye been surprised, as he (Gibson)
| had shown the statements to him more tha n
n year before that. while he (Gariield) was
n member OF the House oi Representatives
When the need of money was pressing in
the campaign Garfield seemed to know just
where some might he obtained. and sent to
My Dear Iubbcll," asking, "What are

given to Garfield long time befnre showed

led the Government out uf $4,000 900. II
Garfield was not fishing for snme Of t,what
did he mean when lie wrote Hub6ell: "Sce
Braiv?"
Brady was seen, but was immovable to
the appeals OF Hubbel. LET Garfield write
me what he wants me to do" he said. Gar
field did not want to write Brady ,and wrote
the "Mv Dear Hu6bel" letter instead.
When the letter was shown to Brady, he
acted A considerable sum was collected
from the Star route contractors MANY OF
the names were on Gibson's exhibit to Gar

A portion Of the money WAS used by Gar

Dorsey, there were 10000 in Indiana

About this time Garfield suggested to
| Dorsey that "lhe churches should be
worked by making contributions to tho
feeble ones. In this way goodly part o
the Star reuters contributions was used.
Col. James says he did not understand
Garfield's reluctance to deal summarilv
with Brady by dis issing him from Office
nor why he persisted in giving HIM an op
portuniiy to resign.
