GIBSON AND GHOSTS.

Mr. GIBSON, the nervous editor of
the Houk Republican, continues in a
frantic state The little man stands
on tip-toe and shouts madly at the
public through the columns of his
organ. He is bald at the top of his
head, and he bawls at the top of his
voice! He sees nothing before him
but Houk, whom he serves, and
hears nothing behind him but Har-
ris, whom he fears Tom O'Shanter
when the witches were after him,
and
''Cofins stood up like open presses,
Revealing the dead in their last
dresses,
was not in a condition of greater
trepidation than the terror stricken
Gibson is now!
After Houks defeat, Mr.. Gibson
should devote the organ to ghost
stories. His frame of mind is we'll
adapted to that kind of literature.
Even the ghosts of the living seem
to haunt him, as well as "goblins
damned" Nor is his vision mar.
rowed to particular manifestations.
In the short space and time
of one Congressional campaign, he
can conjure up from the graveyards
of the defunct Southern Confederacy
more 'sdevil than vast hell can hold. "
Indeed, the late war, now almost
forgotten by the brave men who par
ticipated in it, is just becoming
palpable to the doughty trumpeter
of the Houk campaign. Invisible
when the war was fragrant, he is in
vincible now! But neither the
ghost of the rebellion, nor the Harris
bugaboo, will brighten people into
the support of a man whose moral
deformities are more frightful to
decent and conscientious people
than any monsters Mr.. Gibson can
call up from the ''vasty deep"
But the frantic editor of the Houk
organ will continue to stand on tip
toe and shout himself hoarse to the
deaf ears of common>sense people,
and nobody will be alarmed or in
jured except himself.

HoUK had no more sense than to
suppose that his disgraceful conduct
at the Ebbitt House would be tolera-
ted, because, for a few days,he was pay
ing four dollars per day for board. The
proprietor of that house is worth
one million dollars, and he would
not have calaboose Congressman
there with his prostitute if he were
paying five hundred dollars per day

THERE are a few men in Knoxville
who will cast their votes for Houk
to day who would long since have
been financially ruined, but for the
assistance and kindly aid rendered
them by William Rule. Ingratitude
is the most despicable sin on earth.

If Houk could run as we'll as can
didate for Congress as he did from
the calaboose on the 18th of last
June, and as he did from the Ebbitt
House on the first of September, he
would undoubtedly be elected to
Congress.

A HoUK man said few days ago
that he s.reckoned the owner of that
Ebbitt House was a id Democrat
and wanted to injure Judge Houk. )"
The facts are that the gentlemanly
proprietor of that house is native
of Vermont and a lifelong Wing
and Republican. He is not, how
ever, a politician in any sense, and
as the citizens of the District OF
Columbia are not allowed to vote,
nobody would ever know MIR. Will
lards political opinions unless he
asked him. He is gentlman, and
keeps a heightened, first-class hotel
and would put a Congressman ou'
of his house, who acted as Houk did
not caring whether he was Repub'
lican or Democrat.

Seats are being rapidly taken at Angel Il

reserved seats should apply without delay.
1t is an occasion that no lover of music
should let pass. Reserved seats are IS
cents, general admission SO cents. The Al
bany Argus has this to say:
"a large and interested audience greeted
Philip Phillips, the well-known vocalist at
the Hudson Ave. M. E. Church, last night,
on which occasion an evening of sacred
song was enjoyed by all present. The Gel
ebrated singer, who has sung the Gospel in
twenty different countries in all quarters of
the world, was admirably assisted by his
son, and in every particular the event
proved most satisfactory. An admirably
arranged programme was rendered in an ex-
quislte manner, all expressing themselves as
being highly pleased with the entertain
