II WASHINGTON. April 20.-A queer
story is current which tells now Ietif
Carson. the colofed delegate from TINS
c;tv To- the Republican Chicago con-
vention, absorbed the money and non.
ors of that remarkable body OF local
politicians which chose him rs its rep
resentative. While the process OF or
yanizipg the body to select
the two Washington City dele
gates was progressing, Carson
was an ardent adherent of Logan
bnt he became friend of Blaine, and
Inpersoll. Wishing to attend the con-
yentiop and confessing Carson's po-
tency, managed to insert $500 into
Carson's unwilling pockets. | do not
know how Carson induced lngerso,i
TO s,,ppcse that Blaine was Carson's
first choice; but this douceur was de.
signed to let Carson understand that
| Iprersoll wanted Carson's support.
The brawny Mr.. Clapp shook his cum
brous locks, and hearing, L suppose,
that Ingersoll had invested $500 in
Carson's good WILL event 5000 better"
giving Carson $500, and Mr.. Clapp
| Thought he had fixed" Carson
and that Ingcrsoll was done for,
and that Clapp had caught Carson:
| But Carson went on swinging around
the circle, and Mr.. Adams, confessing
Carson's potency among the dingy
denizens Of Happy Hollow, and as
anxious rs Ingersol to sit ia the
| Chicago convention, managed TO per-
suade Carson to accept, as loan, $50.
