election contest. Referring 10
Cocktan's awful uproar and paucity
OF argument, O'Ferrall observed:

through a midnight thunder storm.
The winds were blowing and The
RAIN sheeting downward. Every
other moment a flash Of lightning
slashed the heavens briefly like a
kulfe of fire. Then followed the
thunder, crash on crash, az II the
very roots OF the bills were being
torn from their home in the ages.
The lightning would last but a
second, and then leave the poor
old darkey in blacRer night than
ever. But the thunders were in
cessant, their rOllings were without
end. At last the OH darkey b.
came frightened, and following a
