Speciat Dupatch to The Chicago Tribune, New York, Feb, 16.—The New York Times to- day interviewed ex-Senator Dorsoy, of Arkansas, 4n regard to tho morits of John Sherman as an available candidate for the Republican nomina- tion for the Prosiilency. This Interview cons tains some extruordinury statements in regard to Sherman's action in regard to resumption, pnd tho use of his offica to furward bls own ends. ‘SArkaneas,” said Mr, Dorsey, 18 fer Gon. Grant, and I am confident, that she will send a full Grant delegation ‘to tho Nationu! Convention, but thoy will do so tn splto of the mantipututions and political scheming of tho Bccretury of tho Treasury. Bult the powor of hla patronage is brought to ‘Dear to divide the delegation if he cannot secure itentire, which I think he has never dared to “hppo.'* In what way," asked the reporter, “is he using his office to scoure thisend? Taye any Special Agents of tho Treasury mysteriously - mada thelr appearnneo jn Arkunsag?" “don’t know that any bavo, but tho band of John Sherman is us plainty visible in the State as It would be if every clerk {n tho Trensury Department was transferred from Wushivgten to Little Rock. UE 1g ENDEAVORING TO WORK through tho Treasury oficers in Arkansas by promises of future favory, if he ts sueccesful, and assurances of immunity from all penalties under the Civil-Horvico rules of tho President, Thave seon several lettera written by one J. A. Emereon, n prominent clerk of the Treas- ury. Department, appolnted from Arkansna, and « man who knows oyery polltl- cian of intluence and power in tho Biante. Those letters are written to tho Treasury oMcers of tho State, and in them Eimereon ts- serts that thoy aro written with the knowledge und consent of Secretary Sherman himself, Tho documents are of a very extraordinury charac- tor, and should of themselves prevent the nom- ination of any man holding tho high oMee of Secretary of tho Treasury who authorized or indorsed them. They Suggest In minutest dotail’ how the delegation from the Stato to the National Con- “vention inay be manipulated In the interest of Mr. Bherman; thoy point out local lenders by Name, all oyer tho Stute, who are to be secured to work the primurics for th’Becretary. I have copie of aayeral of thein, and, jf, my statement isdonted, I shall bo rendy to. produce thom to tho pubilo, For tho present: Lyprefor to give only tho main i BURDEN OF THEIR CONTENTS, In ono of thom, Emerson writes that Dorsoy Is im auch a position in regurd to Feidorat officers that he daro not Interfere with anything that fs fone, and thut Clayton, an ex-Benntor, It ia une derstood, ls strongly in favorof Sherman, Tho luttors also Intimate that the Collector of Inter nal Hevenue of tho Stato and the Superin- tendent of Vublio Butliings at Little Nock need buyvo no fear of the Clvil- Service rules, but sre to go ahead and push for- ward tho Jutoresta of Mr. Sherman, and that in no ovyent, if thoy act onergotioully tn bis behalf, shull they bo disturbed iu thelr ottices. You ob- serve that thore Is hero no formal threat of re- moval in cage thoy do not work for John Bherman, but tho inference to be drawn from such a hint fs unuvoldablo, Emerson adds Jn one of the letters, evidently fenring that tho Clvil-Bervico rules night interfere with the Sherman schemes, that the Scerctary had told him porsonatly thut if he had any doubts In requrd to tho President's action, should tho, oleers In- torfero ju tho political movements in Arkunens, ho begged to HEPER NIM TO PRESIDENT HAYES TUMSELY fara confirmation for whut he (the Beeretary) had said. It amounted to slmply this, that tho Clyil- Service rules wero practically suspended in the ‘casa of such officers ns were willing to cast tholr ‘fortunes with Mr, Shormun from now untll tho meeting of the Chicago Convention." “Gan you give some iden of tho reason why so many of tho most prominont mon among Ke- Publicans ure so bitterly opposed to the Shere man moyoment?” asked the reporter,’ ‘The reason fs very plain, The luadersof the Ropublican party know the mun, and they know that hiscluims for reougnition are based upon mere pretenses, which have no foundation fu fact, * Now I am golng to givo you a little bit of secrut: history which, so far wa I know, has never Doon mado publio, The only claim mado by tho friends of Mr. Shermun, us to his fitness for the Prosidency, is the widely- accepted fyot that whilo a member of the Senate ho originated tho Ucsumption bill of 1875, and that as Secretary of tho ‘'rougury ho has carried * ott the provisions of bls own bil against great opposition ao well thut the business inturosts of the country uro now prospering under this wise measure, Thig assumption 18 AMSOLUTHLY FALSE; . and, that you muy understand why I aponk so ‘positively on this subject, | aball bnvo to relate & fow Inclionts which ought ta be historical, it thoy uranot, 1 wus o member of the Sumile when the Nesumption bill was pagsod, and the real clroumstancos under which it became & low aro well = worth recording. After Gen. Grunt hnd yetoed tho Inilution micaauro, which hud beon forved through Cun- gress by tho lute Senutor Morton, Logan, and Others, the Republican members of the Senate at tho next session felt that they owed {t to thelr party and to thelr country to formulate aud pasa somo wise financial meusuro looking to the speedy resumption of specle payments, The ‘measnre wantod wae one upon which all Hopubileans of both wranchea of Congress could unite. It was certain to create a long and bitter discussiqn whon presentod, and, as taunt tu such causes of important legislation, the Hu- , Publicans of the Senute determined to decide upon the bill in caucug, Very many cuucuses were held with a view of coming to somo ugrco- yuent upon 4 dofinit measure, but after sume + weeks of carnest delfberution ¥O DILL UAD BKEN YORMULATED 2 fast tho infusion wing of tho purty, headed by Iagun and Bortou, and tho resumption wing, headed by Edmunds and Conkling, could unite Pyod, Ak wag shen determined by the caucus to Appoint a committeo to draft a bill sich as tho inembers qould support, and presont It ton future caucus, That Committeo, as I remomber {t, consisted of Senators Edmunds of Vermont, Conkling of Now York, Morton of Indinna, Sare rent of Callfornin, and Logan of Minois. What transplred fn the Committae-room I ans unable ‘to say, and { presume that ‘no person except the Mombers will aver know; but when the Com- nilttce reported, the Resumption bill, as it now stands on tho recont, was presented by thom, and tho report In its favor wns unanimous. That is THE MIBTORY OP THE ONtAIN OF THR ACT Providing for the resumption of specie-pay- tients. Job Shermnn was not 9 member of the Comtnitteo, and had no more to do with drafting the bil than you did, Uut now comes the Interesting purt which Sceretary Sherman played, and it la woll, 1 think, for tha public, and pamectally: tho business inen of tho country who ave reiped sich great benefits from the operation of the Dil, to know just how he stowl in relation to itin 1806, It was presented to tho caucus by the Committee, and submitted for dlscussfon, Johny Sherman opposed the measure with all the power at hia command, 71s be- Muved that {ts passage would pnratyze the [n+ dustries ‘of the country, and ho argued so bitterly aguinst it that, to tho best of my recol- lection, he forced the calling of mere than one caucus of the Republican Sonators before It was deehled, in spite ot bls opposition, to present it to the Senate, The popular idea, fostered nd couptenanced by biniself and his fricnda, Is that the mneasure wns tye product. of his wonderfal finnuelal genius. Precisely the contrary is the real fret, NB OPPOSED IT NITTERLY. Decause he did not believe, ns he. snid, that we cold resume in any event curler thin 188, and ho thought that pritdent statesmanship ¢ uninded that the time shold te oxtondad to 184, five yenrs later than the period Axed by ‘the bi, ‘To Mr, Edmunds and Mr. Conkling ty duo whatever of credit arises from tho pussuge of the mensure in enucus over John Sherninn’g protests, and tho most ovtive and chergetle opposition of tbe friends who stood by hin. Lo can thoroughly understand why Mr. Sherman opposed the ppecin resutuption which Mr, Bdmunds and Mr. Conkling so carn- estly advocated. Hu hid but just ree turned himself from the camp of the Crventackers, whose fcaderehip he had assumed Foon after Mr. Pendditon had propagated their insune theories, and he bad only half way nek to reason ie Tt wits. Bu continued Mr, Dorsvy, “is tho sxeerct history of the Resumption DUI inecauens, Hefore giving you tho next stuge in tho history of the mensure, T must say a word to Justify myeelf In making tho history pubile, Caucus proceedings are always seerct, and euclt member of the enveus fs bound in honor not to reveal them, But | have broken no faith in telling those facts. Bofore Mr, Sherman becaine peueuay of the Treasury the moat ominent. men in the Ropublican purty in the Senate were Airprised to find that he was DELIVERATELY APPROPRIATING TO 118 OWN creprr tho magnificient result. that had accrued to tho commiercinl interests of the country from the passnie of the Resumption bill. Ho was doing this relyIngon the geercoy which uttaches to caucus ‘proceedings, and the gentlenten who were tho rent nuthora of tho Inw naturally be- came Sndignant. On motion of a distinguished Kepubitcan Sonstor, whom everybody in this country respects and adinires, tho scervoy of the enucus covering all tho acts of individual mem- bers respecting the Hesumption bill was unant- mously removed, was the only nctlon of this kind ever taken during my slx years’ ex- pobletine in the Senate, and { have “been in- ‘ormed by someof tho oldest inembers that thoru Is no precedent for it In the records of tho Chamber, However thet nay be, this action un- scaled my lips, and naw, though not a member of the Senate, L feel PERFECTLY ¥REB TO TELL EXAOTLY WHAT TRANS- PIRED 1N CAUCUB in connection with this bill. “ Now for the second stuge in the history of tho report. Under dircetion of the caucus the re- pork without the additional crossing of 1 ‘t' or dotthn WAS ree ne of an 1," precisely as it ported’ from tho Conmmnittes, was presented io the «Senate. It took tha — uatal course, ind wig referred to the Finance Com- mittee, of which Johg Sherman was Chairman, 1 was not nm member of that Committes, but from information received from Senutors whu were members, and In whoin I repose tho utznost. confldence, I am justified in naserting that Mr, Shermun opposed the bill ns bitterly in bis Com- inittee as he had duno in the Repubtican caucts, 1d brought all hla power and Intiuence to bear to secure an adverse report. Ho falled bero, however, as he hadin the enucus, and finally reported! the Dill favorably, but with grout ri- luctunce, under the instructions of the Commit- too. fs support of the mensure In tho Scnate afterward, us the records will show, was half- hearted gud doubtful, Ho never favored it heartily, and his vote for it was glvon witha tucntal protest.” “ Hut bo did yote in favor of the measure?” * Yes, [betleve be did: but he can take no credit to himself for that. Tho fnet is he was = morally und vote for it. Ho hud ‘participated in the caucus, and oby doing so ho had yirtunily pledged imself to yoto for any bili resolved on py the cuncus, Had haroe aed the measure In open Benute, that would bay been to'bolt his cuucug, which, in Congress, [8 tantumont to bolt- ing o nomination in a campaign. Eyen John Sherman, with all MIB HITTER OPPOSITION TO RANLY EBUMPTION, dared not take the responsibility of doing that. He had too much nt stake to thus risk hia stund- dug and reputation fn bla party. Now, his claim tothe nomination at Chicago Is based, J believe, su the minds of Now York and Eastern States, on the ground that he orlyinated that bill, and hus executed {ts provisions for thy bust Interests of tho peunlyy. have shown that he did not oriyinnte tho bill, and ff John Sherman de- nies thia, as" he has denied many other things which L know to have been true, Ewill call as witnesses for the truth of my statements every: Republican member of tho United States Senate: in 1876, and pean the eminent mon who formulated and brought forward tho Resumption act, Allof thom, I belleve, with tho exception of Honator Morton, are Jiying. jo man, ng Becro- tary of the Treasury, could have done differently from what he has done under the Inw whieh he found when ho took his avitin the Cabinet. It waa ready mude to his hand, und all the credit for ita passage, for the maintenance of the pul- No oredit, and for tho protection of the great cominerojal industries of the country i due to George B, Edmunds, Roscoe Conkling, and Join A, Logun."
