ROUK HARRANGUS.

Monday afternoon after the DEM
ocratic convention and before the
democrats had left tie court house
Mr.. Houk, the boiling ca ndidate
for Congress in this district began
mis- two hour and half reel tatiOn.
Big posters had been distributed
all over the county in order to
draw a crowd, and this being court
day and also the time of the dem
ocratic convention, the house was
comfortably full.
Mr.. Houk has learned his speech
50 well that he hardly ever has to
refer to his stack of manuscript
now hut goes ahead and delivers 1t
in q schoolboy fashion as though
he was wound up to run for sta.
ted time. He spent about thirty
minutes in telling the people that
ne had secured the passage of the
bill TO allow pOstmasters to sdmin-
lister oaths to petitioners, and also
that he had secured few dOllors
for the river improvement. The
remainder of his time he spent in
abusing Judge Gibson. AS the
court only adjourned until half
past three his allotted time was up
but as Judge coffman came in at
the time John began an attack on
all of the newspapers of this dis
trict, beginning with the Maryville
TIMES and after finishing this he
took up Major Coffman, using some
very abusive language. After
standing this tor some time Major
Coffman demonstrated with him
or making some assertion and
John called him liar. The Major
then arrese to convene the court
and John, thinking he would bluff
him, reached for his pistol and in
timated that no man could stop
him. The Major simply ignored
his action and explained that as
he had waited half an hour over
tietime allowed, he would con-
Vine court. Houk and about 20
foRO9 men then went outs de
wi be he spent about half an hour
yer in abusing Major Coffman
? general idea seem to be that
h6uk has lost rathet than gained
by his abusive language Monday
and if he continues In this course
he will not get 200 republican votes
in Roane county. In winding up
his speech he intimated that his
followers need not be discouraged
for no matter whether he was
! elected or not Congress would seat
| him as he intended to contest the
ELECTION If he was defeated. King
eton, (Roane CO.. Republican.

TRADE WITH CofrMAN.

'''1 - WIZ W. 'ft's
Bolter Gibson has agreed to al
low Sell out Coffman, of Roam
county, to control the patronage
of the county in the event Of his
election to Congress and a repub-
lican administration In '96. Coff-
man is to be made United States
Marshal for delivering Roane
county to Gibson.-Leader.
We say now as we said at the
beginning that we are not support
ing Judge Gibson from q personal
or mercenary motive, but purely.
and simply because he is the NOM
inee of the republican party. So
far as any promise to us is con-
cerned this is absolutely false.
We have no ambition in that d.
recti0n. We can and do make a
living and a very good one at that
with planning and waiting for
an office. Roane county is com.
posed Of true men. let them be re-
publicans or,democrats they cannot
be bought or sold. They vote from
principle and for n principle. Be
sides this they are an intelligent
people and can see where the sell
out comes in. If there has been
a sell it was John G. Houk that
was sold to democracy by Dick
Austin. Gentlemen you may
squirm and lie and BLACKBOARD
your betters. but the facts remain
the same. John Houk was beaten
fairly and squarely in the primary
on March 10th, by Hon. Henry r.
Gibson by mojority Of more than
1,lOO votes. He Immediately
through his boss, Dick Austin, who
is citizen of Alabama, was traded
to the democratic party, and his
only hopes to ever 20 to congress
is by the help of democracy. Sup
pose Judge Houk could rise from
the grave aud see this degenerated
son Rugged in the arms of the par.
ty he fought so bitterly. We are
anxious to see "bossisln" forever
damned and by the eternal we ex-
pect to see it in November next.
Coffman used to be splendid
fellow and a smart fellow when
he was fighting John Houk's bat
ties, but now how are the "mighty
fallen" John Houk; you should
be ashamed of your self after all

we have spent, the sleepless Nights

harm. The insurgent war ship Aouidaban in
entering the harbor last evening opened Gre

Government was at that time exercising q
very strict censorship and not allowing tele-
grams favorable to the insurgents to leave the
city.
The insurgent forces in thS hay we're threat
ened seriously by the effort Of the Government
to rally It's military strength and recover
the tnsurEent position at Nnegnlgnon
and Cobras. The movements Of the, in;
Santa Catnrina were regarded BY the Govern
ment eyldently as comparatively lnslgnlhcant,
noteworthy progress in both provinces.
The insurgents In the harbor were deter
mined not TO Yield the harbor, rs their poai-
lions there enabled them to curtail the oity's
trade and reduce Its supplies.
The Insurgents had gained somewhat by
gun practice. and in the exchange between
Admiral da Gama's Tamandare and the Gov"
eminent forts. they had done fairly good work,
although the rapid-fre guns were not used
un to their capacity.
The insurgents apparently were somewhat
dlsheartcned By the failure Of the expected ro-
endorsements from the soutf to reach Rio Bay.
The effects Of this disappointment. however,
were noticeable rather among the rank and
file than among the leaders, who professed to
be as sanRuine as ever
Several officers were reported TO have desert

nent did not expect the dlsarection to spread
among the land troops.
PeIxoto was CONVINCED. apparently. that the
army around Rio would remain loyal to him.
The insurgent forts In the harbor had
suffered severely from the shore bat
teries. and even the friends Of the insur-
gents felt that unless Admiral de Cana should
he reinforced soon he would be obliged to
withdraw from Yillegaignon and Cobrss.
Villegaignon still bore the bTunt OF the shore
attack, The buildings on the island were re-
ported to have been partially ruined by the
Government fire. and many OF the garrison
had been killed or wounded.
The mon had been driven to living IN quar-
ters under the batteries. and even there half q
dozen had been killed and several more had
been wounded
