with her that if she would pay s., 100
he would retire from his position and
throw his influence n her favor for
the Office. He dir cted her 20 pay the
money to B. Il. Campbell, the father
in law to Gen. Babcock, which she
did, and then she told Campbell that,
having performed Eor part OF be con
tract. she wanted thu Office; but Camp
bell Informed her hat he held Blake
ley's note OF $1,000, which she must
osv before she could have the office.
About this last proposition there was

She did not pay it. She got the office,
