An 1884 cartoon depicting a woman as the symbol of the Republican Party, struggling to carry its leaders. Stephen W. Dorsey and Thomas J. Brady are depicted in sacks labeled "Star Route Swindle."
The Star Route scandal was a political scandal in the United States, stemming from allegations of bribery and bid rigging in the United States Post Office Department which came to light as early as 1872 and which were the focus of public scrutiny following the election of President James A. Garfield. There were no fewer than four federal investigations into bribery in the postal service from 1872 through 1883. The scandal and public reaction to it contributed to the passage of the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act.
