A Wastxetos Grand Jury has at lei dicted ex-Second Assistant Postn Thom Brady, ex-Senator Stephen W. Dorsey, and others for their connection with the Star Route robberies. Thus these arro- t and tic thieves are brought nearer to their doom, and the thousands who have predicted that Brady, Dorsey, and their me would eseape puni: ment, ssured through this action of the Grand Jury, and through Colonel George Bliss, who talks like a man determined to do his duty, that the conviction and im- nt of the follow Colonel Bliss views the indictment of these flowers of the Republican party as a vindica tion of the administration of President Arth and says that from the first the Chief Magis- trate has insisted that justice should have full sway in these cases, ‘The American people will be gratified to know this, and will hope that the President will continue in the same frame of mind to the end.
