More Political Crookedness.
CHICAGO, April Is.
A Journal Washington special says !:
Representative Glover made an unex
pected and undoubted discovery while
nosing around 10 unearth something
to injure his Republican opponents.
His committee has come into posses.
sion of proof that at least $10,0 0 OF the
1872 900 which was expended during
the trip of Morrisson's Investigating
Committee TO Louisiana, during the
Presidential contest, went into pockets
not entitled to it. The money was ex
| pended by Major S. X. Donovan, of
Ohio, who was the Deputy Sergeant-at
Arms, and Colonel Polk, his assistant,
who was afterwards Doorkeeper of the
House. Donovan had full charge OF
the distribution Of the $32 900 placed
in his hands by John Thompson, ser
| geant at. Arms of the House. The af-
fair creates much excitement among
the Democrats, and proof as to irreg-
ularities is said to be overwhelming.
Glover Is authority for tho statement
that at least SIC. 900 was not expended,
but in q crooked manner went into the
| pockets of certain Democrats. 1t is
charged that Polk aud Donovan can
tell what became of this money. and
they will be required to testify regard
ing it.
