lated to his candidacy for the legis-
lature in 1861 against A. s. Walker.
The canvass was exceedingly exciting
because of the near approach of war,
and all the questions incident to it
were discussed with much animation.
Charges and counter-charges were
made. Both sides knew that about
six votes either way would determine
the contest. and on the day before
election Walker raised the point on
Vest that he had stolen some pigs. The
only way that Vest could meet the
charge was to acknowledge smilingly
that he had the pigs in his pen and in
his possession. If he had gone further
and said that he had bought them
which they hoped he would do-they
had witnesses to show that he had
not bought them. but Vest was too
shrewd to be caught in the trap, and
turned the accusation off by saying:

who has tiny. golden-haired daughter
of whom he is very fond. The friends
adjourned to the smoking room for Il
chat, and shortly afterward the daugh-
ter went to hunt them. She came
down to her mother in the reception
room little later and found her en-
