"AGIN TIE DOG LAW.
How Tennessee Congressman Won
Favor with Il Constituent.
From, tho WoShinptOn Post

IN one of my races for congress"
said Representative Cox, of Tennessee,
at the Metropolitan, the lines We're
drawn very tight between my cCmpet-
itor and myself, and the Dartisans of
both were worked uD to a pitch of eX-
Citement in every county in the dis
triCt. In some localities a good deal
of bad feeling had been engendered and
personal difficulties We're daily expect
ed. One day when | was filing an APP
pCintment to address the people a tall,
heavy built fellow with a bad eye and
q general look as if he We're out for
blood came up to me and said in a loud
and positive tone:
Cox l want to have a little talk
with you
Il knew that he was an active sup
porter of my opponent, and also that he
was a man of very determined charac-
ter Wondering what he had to say
to me, and withal being a little anX-
ious on account of his rough, not to
say threatening manner, l walked away
with him to some little distance from
the crowd. Then | stopped and told
him | was ready to hear anything he
had to say.
See here Cox; l am going to put a
plain question to you, and If you an
swer it square everything Will be all
right between us; if you don't every
thing will be all wrong. Now, If you
will promise me to vote ag'in that -
dog law, | will vote for you and make
all my friends support you. Is ii a
bargain?'
Il assured him that if there was one
measure that l hated worse than any
other it was this odious dog law, and
that when l got to Washington, I'd
| fight it to the death. He kept his
| promise, and, as l afterwards heard
| worked Loyalty TO help elect me.
| don't know whether or not he got more
| light on the subject subsequently, and
| discovered that it was the Tennessee
| legislature, instead of congress, that
| had jurisdiction over the dog law, but
| anyway, if he ever found out his mis-
| take he didn't reveal the fact to me-"
