might have serious effect on the senatorial
Republican majority. At that time the SEN
ate was Republican by one majority. There
were three men, Dorsey, Brady and
Kellogg, involved in the scan
dial, all of whom were men of prominence
and one of whom, Kellogg, was then a mem
Der of the senate. To have dragged Kellogg
before criminal court would have been to
lose the Republican majority. This situation
in the mind of MacVeagh was one calculated
to insure ''grave political complications in
case the friends of the star route rs were
brought before the public. Dorsey had been
a member of the senate, and was of great val
ue to the Republican party. MacVeagh
claims that he did not commence the prose-
cution of the case, for the reason that he
was not in a position to formulate any
charges. There was no doubt, he thought,
about the guilt of the men, but the evidence
was not collected in form to be available.
This is perhaps so, in fact, but the main rea-
son was that a prosecution would involve
grave political complications in the Republi-
can party at large, and would endanger the
senatorial majority of one possessed by the
party. In all the interviews between Gar
field, James, Cook and MacVeagh, the first
named is the only one who
shows the patriot dominating the
politician. James had urged, in substance,
that Dorsey should not be prosecuted because
he had done much to assist Garfield in his
election. Macyeagh opposed the prosecution
for the reason that one of them had been of
service to the party, and another of them was
a senator whose vote was indispensable to
the representative majority in the senate.
He argued against opening up the
matter on the ground that such an
effort would produce 'sgrave political
complications Garfield alone recalled his
oath and his duty and ordered that the
prosecution be commenced. This determine

after followed by his assassination. 1t is a
strange coincidence that he should have been
killed just at this time. Just how far fortu-
nate for an ex-senator and present senator,
and the Republican majority of one in the
senate and the prevention of ''grave political
complications" that Guiteau pistol in hand
turned up and sent built through the
body of the president. The cracking of a
pistol and the speeding of well aimed bull
let saved the party and prevented for a mo-
ment, at least, scandal within the ranks
of that organization which has claimed
monopoly of the decency, honesty and brains
of the republic
