Repreeentative Money, of Mississippi, was chairman of the committee on post offices and Post roads of the House of Representatives in the last Congress, and was a member of that committee in the preceding Congresa. He came to Washington peveral daye to make inquiries concerning the pubdiicat of his name in connection with the of asia Toute, in one of the special dispatches from Washington to the New York Times. Mr. Money was referred by the chief of the Times Lureau to Mr. Root as the author of the dis atch referred to. Upon information that Mr. cot would probably be found at the Pos Ofiice dey ent, Mr. Money, accompanied by eded thither and entered the building. He walked into room No. 59, with- out kp ig, the door being cod. noe gentlemen were e room, one o} whom Mr. M as Mr. Gibson. “T am ing tor Mr. ad Mr. Morey, ifiqui ly. “Is there @ man of that Dame here?” sir,” answered Mr, who sat on one al Roo', king. The re ed Of by Mr. Money ‘was in an article stating that the contract for Star route No, 31,758 was “arbitrarily given” to J. P. Horbach, and this I was used by the cerrespondent: ‘This contract was obtained by J. P. Horbach, a Washington I agent, Who is a friend of Congressinan Money; but the real contractor 1s A. E. Boone, of this city, whose sub-contract for the full price is on file.” Mr. Root asked Mr. Money if he wag not a friend of Horback. He replied that he was; had known Horback for some years, and was his friend; but that he had not btainin; Prop erly represent matters. Mr. Root disclaimeu eny purpose of reflecting upon Mr. Money in apy respect. The latter was not satished with the disclaimer. He said the connection in which bis name was used implied that he was implicated in the transaction described by the coirespondent. Hedenounceg the use of hisnam: a8 upWarranted, and sald to the correspondent: “I will give you two days to retract your In- sinuation against me, and if you do not retract I will publish a card in all the papers denousc ing you as 4 slanderer and defamer, and I will be in Washington to take the consquences Mind you, Iam not asking any favor. It you have found or can find in the records of this or apy cther department anything reflecting upon my character as a public man, or as a private individual; or if any reputable found who will testify against me as to any Wrong doing, publish it, and I will say you bave done your duty as a journalist; but I will Dot permit you or any other man to assall my character, to use my name erent ih tg connection with charges of fraud, without & single fact to pa gly it. You could easily have informed yourself as to apy connection of mine With these star route matters. As a member of Congress I attacked the star route m0 for its extravagance, in speeches made in the House, long before you wrote anyt on the subject, and I have endeavored to cut off this extravagance.” Mr. Money was assured by the officials in Toom 59 that they had not given out the inform. ation upon which the tal dispatch com- plained of was based. account of the affair was given to a Stak reporter by a gent e- man who was present and listened attentively to all that passed. Tig Star informant stated that erroneous accounts of the matter have been published; that Representative Money did Dot say anything about a “smut machine.” He ceclared himself heartily in favor of a full, complete and searching investigation of the enure star route service, and jast before leay- ing for New York this morning he said that no word bad been uttered by him tending to re- lect upon or belittle the investigation. He considers the investigation as an eminently Toper step for the administration to take, and is abxious to see it thoroughly conducted, that it may result in the correction of abuses ang extravagances, the existence of which he, a3 a member and subsequent chairman of the House Fost office committee, has long ben aware of, abd which he has pointed out 1n speeches and sought to have remedied.

Fora few days past Mr. Townsend has deen at New York Gay or two ago. and reports nim in good Keats jay OF two ago, , and spirits. “said Mr. Townsend: aK dav or two ago I was talking to a shrewd New York city potitician—and they are about as sharp a; they make them. He was a stalwart republi He said it was his onion that the Al- adlock would be broken next week, be Representative Crowley. This same wart,” said Mr. Townsend, “reported that the le of New York want a Senator who will go near to the House some times. For four years, even Conk- Upg’s friends say they got nothing because of the bad {mper existing between Ex-President Hayes and Conkling, and had it not been for the ake Civil service policy which kept thos of Conkling’s friends in who were they would have had nothing. Now the itical followers who have stood by Conk! are hungry, and while they insist on a stalwart Senator to represent them they also want a Senator who will at least be on speaking terms with the Preaident of the United Statea. An other ground of objection the same stalwart urged against Copkling, was that he was haughty and imperious; that he was not ou & terms with five of the members of the New York congressional delegation.” “As to Ohio,” sald Mr. Townsend. “we in- tend to elect Charley Foster, ana don’t you forget It.

[Special Dispatch to ine Evening Star.} ALBANY, N.Y., June 25. The exodus from Albany was larger last night and this morning than any week since the Senatorial contest opened. It was led by Mr. Conkiing—Mr. Depew and Vice President Arthur going on the same train to New York. ‘This gave rise to stories that they had gone off to patch up a compromise. The improbability of any such story rests in the assumption that in all their past career, when Mr, Conkling has oes fight he hag never compromised. friends say that when once he raises his colors in @ Contest he stands ig m of a Gesign of the half breeds to elect a tor to day by springiny a trap during @ small at- tendance. The stalwarts assert that the halt breed managers are Bot sufficiently skilled in tactics to spring a trap; and declare that if at- tempted the stalwarts will walk out of the con- Yention and leave them without a quorum. The half—breeds are again bi that they will end the contest next week. The founda- {on for that is their own story that Mr. Conk- lpg will try to adjourn the’ ture, and when he falls to get a majority of the Senate to vote to adjourn, he wil: be to com- promise.
