Heaven and earth or be showed

H. relied on money 10 carry him
through, and he at once set about
the matter to get up large cOrrup-
ton fund. He went before the
national congressional committee
and took along with him Alabama
Dick, and theytoid their tale OF
woe. They represented TO the
Committee that Johnnie was the
son of his pap that the office be-
lOnged to the family; that Gibson
is n smart man, II great lawyer:
sober honest man strong amongst
the country people and that he
would be elected unless something
was done. They went and saw the
great republican Leaders and said
TO them Gibson will out shine any
body in congress and everybody
would be talking about that man
Gibson being such great man.
So they got these republicans jeal-
Gus of Gibson, aud they gave John.
ME good letters saying that John
has hecu good boy, ~. that they
liked his pap. ami that they think
John j. good enough 10 sit in the
seat If Horace Maynard. John
and Dick then w'nt among the
democrats md Told them what a
great orator Gibson Is and how he
would destroy the democratic par
" if he should be elected to con-
grrss. This scared the democrats
80 badly that they sent word 10
Tennessee not forum man for
congress; that Gibson would eat
hir, up and destroy ,hn party; and
these Jealous republicans aud
scar d democrats promised to send
ten thousand dOllars to help John
IIouk defeat Gibson.
Has that money come? We
