THE SPRINGER BRIBE.

Similarity OF the Anonymous Letter to
the Writing of Finley, His Clerk, W. s.
King and Springer Himself
WASHINGTON, May 19.-In the Springer
investigation to-day, examination of Hay,
writing, expert was continued and the testi-
mony was taken of J. T. Lighter, Jr.,
clerk to Finley, to the effect that the anony-
nous letter was not in the hand writing of
Finley. Witness was required to give speci-
mems OF his own handwriting. and these
gave stong color to suspicion
that he himself was the
writer of the anonymous letter, which
however, he positively denied. The very re-
markable circumstance is being developed in
this inquiry that the writing of the anony-
nous letters bears in many respects a simi-
larity to that of Finley, the frat person sus-
pected, and of his clerk. to that of Will
liam King of Minnesota, to whom Donnelly
first attributed it, and last of all to that of
Springer himself, who has submitted speci-
mems of his handwriting.

Courtney's Collapse.

The much talked of boat race at Wash
ington yesterday, between HanIan and
Courtney, ended in the inglorious defeat of
the latter, who gave up the contest and re-
turned to his boat house after rowing over
less than half the course.
Hanlan made the distance in Sc minutes and
40 3-1O seconds, rowing easily after Court
ney's withdrawal. Riley, who was present to
row if either Courtney or Hanlan failed to re-
spond, started little IN advance, and
rowed over the entire course, maintaining
his lead of Hanlon to the end. At recep-
ton given Hanlon in the evening, he de-
nounced this action of Riley's, and said he
stood ready to row Riley for $40 or $4,000,
at any time.

DAKOTA REPUBLICANS.
THE NORTHERN SECTION soooPED.

Especial Telegram to the Globe
FARGO, d. T., May 19.-The Republicans
of Dakota Territory, to day, held their con-
vention 10 elect delegates to the National
convention at Chicago June I'd. During
yesterday and this forenoon much caucusing
was going on, and, although everything vas
good, it was evident that a strife was GER
tain. The candidates talked of were Porter
Warner, Of Deadwood; G. T. Mccoy, Bon
Homme; j. w. Raymond, Bismarck; Frank
Viets, Grand Forks, and E. s. Tyler, Fargo.
Warner claimed 80 votes; Mccoy, IS;
Raymond, II; Vets, %; Tyler, about 20.
The whole number OF votes represented 1876.
Yesterday the indications were that Warner
and Raymond would be the choice, but the
delegates from Northern Dakota were unable
to unite on either of them three men and
the Mccoy strength was taken up by
Warmers supporters, giving Warner and
Mccoy 73 votes certain. The ar
rangement was undoubtedly sug-
gested by the friends of r. F.
Pettigrew, the southwestern aspirant for con-
gressional honors from Dakota. The Black
Hills delegates made show of protesting,
claiming they preferred combination with
Northern Dakota, but no alternative was left
them, and thus 1t stood when the convention
met this afternoon.
After considerable iockeying permanent
organization was effected with G. Fl. Walsh,
of Grand Forks, chairman, and L. III. Allen
of DeadWood and w. II. Mickey of Yankton,
secretary. It was found that ninety five
delegates present represented 131. h. f.
Pittigieg of Mime ha-ha county, carrying
proxies for twelve counties, representing
forty-seven votes in his pocket This
unusual monopoly of votes caused
much talk after the convention, The slate
was so well understood that Oh the first vote,
viva voce Porter Warner had 100 votes, f..
Virts &c. Raymond, Tyler and Mccoy were
not mentioned. Warmers election was made
unanimous, and @. t. Mccoy, Of Bon
Homme, was Immediately elected as the
other delegate by acclamation. F. Virts and
Alex. Hughes were elected alternates.
Northern Dakota then undertook TO gain
recognition by instructing the delegates to
nrge J.W. Raymond of Bismarck, as the Da-
koia member of the national Republican
central committee. An adjournment was de-
feated and the southern portion Of the Terri
tory again asserted supremacy by snbstitut-
ing Newton EdmonGs of Ysnkton, present
member of the convention. The delegates
go to Chicago uninstructed.
Porter Warner tells your correspondent
that he Is for Blaine first, with Window, who
he thinks would be a good man for the
northwest, as second choice. Mccoy is more
independent. He would chose Conkling
first, does not want Blaine, and nigh on a
pinch vote for Window. Neither of the
delegates believe in Grant for third term
Northern Dakota delegates show their dis.
gust as having exhibited their family quarrel

who had certificates from county commit
tees. Adjourned until 5 p. M, to await

A motion was made to postone action OH
the resolution till 4. P. NJ, when Hon. o. FL.
Wright of Boone, the Blaine man insisted
on his motion to adjourn. The chairman
was unable to decide on the viva voce vote
and the roll of counties, emitting Cook and
Greene, was called resulting, yeas 248, nays
349. The result was received with loud ap-
plause.
A motion to table the resolution of Senator
Logan was voted down by decisive vote
and the resolution was then promptly
adopted by viva voce vote, after which the
convention adjourned to p. N. IL
GRANTS MAJORITY.
During the sessions of the convention to-
| day there has been much less confusion than
there usually is in such large gatherings,
and no bad feeling was exhibited, though
1t was evident there may be an eruption at
any moment. The vote on the question of
adjournment in the afternoon seems
to be regarded as pretty fair test of Grants
strength outside of Cook county, showing a
majority of 10l, little less than his sup
porters previously claimed, Senator Logan;s
presence on the floor as delegate, which is
new feature in Illinois politics, occasions
considerable comment.
The committee on credentials reassem-
bled at o'clock and took up the Greene
county contest with good prospect of being
in session all night. 1t is now thought
that the convention may last over until
Friday.
WONT GIVE PLEDGE.
The FarweIi hall delegates meet this even
ing, and decided it is reported not to &C
oept the pledge, to abide by the decision of
the committee on the ground that they pro-
pose to appeal to the national convention,
| in case their rights are denied them.
GREENE COUNTY SETTLED.
The committee on credentials settled the
Greene county contest by admitting four
Grant aud four Blaine delegates, and giving
each half vote. The decision of the COM
mittee is satisfactory to both delegations.
The committee adjourned to o'clock to-
morrow morning, when consideration of the
Cook county contest will be resumed.
=. Since the previous report, the Farwell
Hall delegation has adopted a resolution to
be presented to the committee tomorrow,
protesting against the right of the commit
tee to impose any such test
as the pledge required, without
hearing statement of their case, but de-
claring their feaity to the Republican party
and Republican principles, and expressing a
determination to support the nominee of
the Chicago convention, relying upon being
fairly treated by State convention.
