Tho star-ronte people nre endeavoring to mako much of a letter whieh Gen, Gartield wrote to Congressman [Hubbell from Mentor, In:August, 1849, in which ho says: - ¢ Please 8ay 10 Brady that I hiope e will glve usall 1o assistance possible.” The publieation of 1his letter ns n pretended proof that Gen, Garfletd was attempting to seeure contribu- tions from star-route contraclors is the wenkest defense that theso {nhbm have yet made, Tho President, having had his ‘at- tentlon called (o this letter, stated fo- day that there was mot na line In it that ho wonld .have the slightest bbjection to giving to tho public; that tho stare Toite contractors wero nelthor mentionod noy thought of; that It wassiuiply the exprossion of a hope that Brady, + A CITIZEN OF ISDIANA: . who was uted to have wmado nn immonse fortunc In Bell tolephone stock, woitld reapond from: his ample means 0 atd of his party in the 1ife-and-daath strugglo then golog on In bigown Blats. 1t cortalnly was not to be presumed that & suggestion from Gien. tGarfleld to My, Brady, an_Indinna_uflicebiolder, thut tho eampnlen was very oxoitiog in _his own State, and . that assistanco wasnnaded from Indinna Repubilionnk, was an intimation thnt any oontributiony wern dosirod from a corruption fond., [t wan well known at that timo that Gon, Brady hind mado n Inrge fortune in telephons stock, and thoro 8 no ssiblo doubt that he dld realize more than mlt a mililon dollars feom his. investments, Tne letter of Gen, Garfichl was, undoubtodly, such as he wrote to many peoplo, ans IT HAS REMAINED FOR THE STAR-ROUTE N ¢ TOBBY to attributo any sinister purposo toit.
