Tranin script makes a curious revelation regard to the corrupt means employed, as it alleges, to 'defeat Colfax iu the Philadelphia Convention and secure the nomination of tho present Vice President, Its story is that Sylvander Johnson, of JS'orth Adams, was elected a delegate to the National Convention, and was accompanied to that assemblage by a noted Massachusetts politician named Tinker, an internal revenue collector, They found in the course of the canvass that Colfax would be nominated un, less some desperate scheme was adopted, and about the same time they dis- covered a Southern delegation . who were for sale. Tinker opened, nego tiation at once with the leader of the delegation, ascertained his price for himself and the rest, collected the money from Wilson's friends, and, with his own hands, paid the cash to the leader of the delegation. "When the proper time came this purchased leader rose and cast tho vote of his State for Wilson, which decided the contest and secured the defeat of Col fax. ' The Transcript says that after the Convention Tinker told this story to several persons in North Adams, and that" Johnson' enlarged upon the immense cunning they had displayed in the transaction. It is said that Mr. Wilson did not know of it. t i J ft' ve . you !" The German obeyed orders.
