by him. Mr.. Drake asked for Mr.. Car
rolls Endorsement. but Mr.. Carroll could
not give II. It has been said that Mr..
Carroll took 81 900 to inspire him in max
ing'a strong case FOR Judson for marshal.
Talbot for collector. in particular, and
others Of the Grigas-Collins following in
general. Also. that when he found that it
was foriorn hope he turned the 81 600
over to Dan Finch. Worst Of all, it is
said, Honest Tom" worked tooth and
nail for Maloney. This is the way the
magician-lawyer-polit dissolves this
ugly imputation:
paid my own expenses. and went purely on
legal busineea When Choats had finished his
argument in the Chinese cases before the United
States supreme court took the next train for
home, coming via Colorado and California
was no: paid . dollar, ana ! did not turn any
over to Dan Finch. did not incorse anybody
for marshal No. did not Judsou. Malouey,
Hutchinson and Crabbe. No. none OF them.
That will cause some Of the brethren to
hop stiff-legged. But Mr.. Carroll really
explains:
Yes. I did give Judson letter. and Maloney,
too Yes. certainly: but IL wasn't an indorse-
ment BY any means. Oh. no. To Judson gave
four lines TO this effect: This 10 to certify that
the Hon. Stephen Judson 10 q thorough aud
siaunch Democrat That's what l gave to
Malorey, in effect. Each knew that the other
had my letter. They didn't mean anything par
tscuiar. aud were not Endorsements.
An idea struck Mr.. Carroll:
Why, come to think, l did get man In after
ali. mean one man that spoke a word for got
there. II was this man Crabbe. of Gig Hnrbor,
who wanted Q position In the pension bureau,
and he got it Yes. indeed, he got 1t, and I'm
glad OF it. But you can't tell what Cleveland
will do. anyway.
For the seventeenth time Mr.. Carroll
went into raptures over Washington's
elaborate display at Chicago.
Honest Tom" will have great record
as prize prevaricator If 10 per cent. of the
charges made against him by the Griggs-
Collins men stick. They drop on him all
along the line. Here is a sample from
First Lieut.. Miles w. Gibbons of the $l7,-
100000 faction:
Carroll met Talbot here on his return Sunday
morning. the day he left for Washington City.
He talked with him for an hour. He was
pledged to support Mr.. Talbot for collector. Be-
fore he went away there was q meeting In his
Office, at which there wero present Chauncey w.
Gsiggs, steve Judson. Representative W. D. E.
Anderson. Senator Foss. Mr.. Carroll and myself.
and ut that meeting he agreed to go on to Wash.
ington City aud work Tor three men: Sharp
stein for attorney, Talbot for collector, and
Judson for marahal.
Worse and worse. they say that when
Mr.. Collins learned that Carroll had left
Washington City without seeing Cleveland
he wired him to return, and a meeting at
reception was arranged for at which
Honest Tom" was to advocate the anti
Wallace and anti-stats committee slate.
How can .Carrollsatons for pressing lib
balls claims when he did get Clsveland's
ear. To cut it short, Griggs.Collins
lieutenants here have read "Honest Tom
out Of the party. They say:
Tom has honesty. but NO backbone. There 10
no doubs but that he was to have been paid for
working for our state. There is also no doubt
but that he went about through the depart
ments and acknowledged that Wallace rcpre.

Judson aud he agreed to work for him - well

regarding Wallace expressed his sentiments and
the sentiments OF all other siGners OF il, includ-

action. nor action OF any Others OF their kind,
cannot split the Democratic party because they
are already eliminated.
If any Of the signers Of the solemn pro-
test" telegram object to its language, it is
sarcastically suggested by the Griegs-Col-
lins men who believe it genuine, that they
90 to the courts and mandamus the tele-
graph company and compel it to be pro-
duced for their inspection. Those who
had charge of getting Is up do not hesi-
tate to say, with Carroll, that all had
agreed to it. Any telegraph Office mana

without an order of the court Is threat
ened with being ''sent to Waila Walla."
meaning states prison. Louis Foss is here
and confirms " hat The Posr-INrELLIGENcER
has said about the manner in which the
dispatch was concocted, etc. 1t is also
officially announced from the Griggs-Col-
Inns camp that Saunders appointment
will be contested In the United States
senate and that he never will be confirmed.
1t is claimed that his close connection
with WATSON does not, among other
things, warrant his confirmation by the
senate. Every Griggs-Collins warrior Is
just rs confident that Saunders will not be
confirmed as he was that he would not be
appointed in the first place.
