Browns argument was that the first five mil

issued. Judge Clayton was exceedingly happy
in his reply to this position. lie showed con
Icusively that the original charter never con.
templaed the execution of the mortgages as
condition precedent to the pledge OF the ialth
of the State. But the worst for the poor re-
pudlatng champion was, that Judge clayton
showed by Browns own votes, given under
oath, when he was a member OF the Legislature
| in 1899 that he did not himself believe that II
required the execution of the mortgages, to
bind the State. Judge Clayton remarked that

that instead of appearing to-day as the adyo-
cate of repudiatng five millions, he Judge b.
would have been compelled to advocate the
reputation of the whole fifteen and half

debtedness to the nk,-showed that he had
borrowed ii thousand on his own account,

procure some forty odd thousand more;--that

Brown took occasion to inform the Wings
that two Of their nominees for State offices
! (Iardeman and Galloway had paid of much
! larger Liabilities than his to the Union bank,
by means of the bankrupt law. But here
again Clayton had him on the hip. lie pro-
duced Browns letter to his constituents, when
he was a member of Congress, informing them
that he should vote for the bankrupt law, and
use all his influence to get it passed.
thought on one occasion that Judge Brown
treated his old friend, Gov. M'Nutt, rather uu-
kindly la his speech at Salem, Clayton
belabored him for voting for MNutt alter ne
had signed the bonds. Brown replied that he
only did so as choice of evils.
Upon the whole, the result of the discus
sons in this county has been very ausplcious
to the bond payers. Judge Clayton has won
the esteem OF every one-even his bitteres'
political opponents. All parties admit that
Clayton has far exceeded their expectations,
and that Brown has fallen below them. In the
present state of feeling, have not doubt but
that Clayton will not only obliterate fuckers
majority of 81 in this county, but that ne
will carry the county by Old Tips majority
of los. One thing certain: the bond payers
will vote the strongest between Williams and
Clayton, and the general opinion is now that
Clayton is the strongest. But if it should aP-
pear that Col. Williams has better chance o.
beating Brown than Clayton has, the Wings
will not hesitate to unite with the d-paylng
democrats for that purpose.
