Mr. FAItNSWOItTH. Well, the proof will settle that. If I am mistaken, I shall be very glad to be corrected. Here is an extract from Mr. Dodges testimony, which will be found on page 146 of the 2nd part of the testimony: "Question. When was your last payment to Mr. Cannon on account of the election? “Answer. I. didnt pay anything to Mr. Cannon except on election day. “Slllf HUNI. “ How muchwas that? iinicer. 5,000 ddoliais.

I suspectedit, but didnt know it." The contestant has corrected his testimony, and says now the amount he paid Mr. Cannon was $500 and not $5,000. In the testimony ofUannon and Cow den, the swear, one or the other, that he did bargain With Mr. Barr to continue in the field, that he asked Barr how much money it would take, and Barr told him it would require about 5,000 dollars to “run” that district. They finally settled upon $2,000, to be paid to Barr, as he said, for “ running the polls, providing ticket distributors, 8:0. I will read from the testimony of Cowden. He says: " Studios. “ You paid Mr. Barr 81000? “ newer.Yes, sir. " Answer Aenedeiyvocudjruese te$i1vle.0dofroo;mits Mr.Dodge ne8d2t.h0a0to? it was the someamount.

Not so far asI unconcerned. itwas nut. mo It appears from the testimony of Mr. Dodge that he did not know himself who the money was for when he did it, but that he suspected it was for Mr. Barr, and that he afterwards heard that it was for Mr. Barr.
