Freeman. We mustgt ont of this

Tucker. Old McNutt has been
blowing about this natter--how |
hate the id old paonch. He has
been getting up fuss about it, with
a view of crowding ne off the ticket.
He don't like me, because | would
not repudiate the Planters Bank
bonds. | tell you what it is, will
blow him up and come out agin him
for the Senate.
Freeman. Cool, that is the very
idea. Your learning and genius
would shine in that place, Governor:
always thought that. The fact is,
that in your present position, your
talents and graces do not come into
full play. The theatre here is not
adequate to your powers.
Tucker. | must make publica-

Mutt, and kinder make out that | am
prosecuted. That takes with the
people like forty.

him about the bonds, and tell about
his getting drunk.

matter any how.

to tell what I'm thinking about; and

Freeman. Great men are very
often deficient in those small matters,
Governor.
Tucker. Isay, Freeman you write

Freeman. Why, | DON know,
Governor.
Tucker. Come now, Freaman,
help me out of this scrape, you know
| have stood up to you-you know
you have lived in the Executive
Mansion, just as though it beloned to
you.
Freeman. Well, now, Governor, ,
you know it is the peoples house; !
and what is more, | have furnished /;
my share of the eatables: / have
bought all sorts ofgroceries, parsnips,
string beens, and other 6xings for the !
Executive table; and as you belong
