PETTIBONE RELLSHES.


FROM TIE J0NEsB0RO TIMES,
ONE 0FTHE REPUBLICAN, Or
CANS OF THE FIRST DISTRICT.
One sweet and solemn thought
Comes to me DER and DER:
go (Says Petty-BONB, Il i
I'm further away from Congress now
Than ever | was before.
And his sad song sweeps the minutest
hair-line of the correct fgures.)
Sneaking Bill and Confederate John,
otherwise, Bill Mullenix and John Ham
mer, together with sneaking William s
boys and son-in-law are the head lights
of the Pettibone following in Sullivan
Result: Every Mail brings the Times a
list of cash subscribers from that coun-
ty.
John Hammer, late Confederate Con-
script officer of Sullivan county, perse-
cuted and hunted down loyal men dur
ing the war, and since the war he has
formed a combination with Bill Mullen
TX to cheat and defraud them out of their
votes. Now, can this latter be did?
Let Sullivan county Republicans an
swer.
How often have Confederate John
and Sneaking Bill been on the Federal
Ask Pettibone, prosecuting Attorney for
East Tennessee. AS jurors, John and
William help send up the poor devils
that Petitioners Marshals gobble up.
PettiDone prosecutes and gets big pay,
John and William indict and convict,
and everybody's happy.
If Pettibone is elected, the Republi
can party in the 1st District is gone
Remember, he has drawn 81 500 for sew
era1 years, has not felt the pressure of
hard times, is in sympathy with the
rich, an enemy to the poor, honest class
of our people, favors immediate con-
traction and resumption, which will
ever make the poor grow poorer and
poorer. Besides, he is a carpet-bagger
from Michigan-and everybody knows
how this class of people look upon the
South and its people. Don't think to
vote against him is equivalent to voting
against the Republican party. Drop
him from your ticket and let the whole
''thing slide"
The Knoxville Chronicle says that from
the appearance of last weeks Morris
town Gazette, it would seem that Steve
Bowel, of the Jonesboro' Times had the
contract to run the Bob Taylor depart
ment of that journal. Yes, and Capt.
Billie it seems from the appearance of
the CftTO7tTCtS Indb SluC0 Judge I1Ouk
busted the Revenue, Custom House and
Post Office Rings at Knoxville, that the
GsronScle was entirely out of a Contract"
until its officious and intermeddling at
tempt to foist the Michigan Pirate up
pom the unwilling people of this Con-
gressional District. Answer and dis
prove Judge HOuk's arraignment of the
conduct of the Federal Court and the
Revenue in East Tennessee, with which
the Michigan Shark has been intimately
connected, before you ask honest and
intelligent Republicans to vote for the
Nomination-Stealer.
Another case of attempted bribery.
A strong Taylor man, of prominence
and influence, present at the Ioneshoro'
Fraud, was taken into a private place
by one of pettyBOne's leading henchmen
and was told that he was standing in his
own light and was blind to his own in
terest, Tor words to this effect in sup
porting ALI. Taylor. That petty Bone
had the money, that his supporters were
thoroughly organized, and that he
couldn't be defeated in the Convention.
He further SAID to the Taylor mans IF
you will throw your influence to petty
Bone you may rest assured of place in
the Revenue business, mail agency on
the railroad or of any position within
the gift of Congressman. l know just
what | am talking about. The law
slys the offense of bribery is complete
in making the proffer without the ac-
ceptance of the bride. And yet ALT.
Taylor was defeated by fair and honest
means!
