Knocks ApvocATE.-We were aware

brutal and cowardly conduct of Brooks in

4 supposed it would give SO unfair state
Enent in relation to Mr.. Burlingame as aP-
Enes,ed in its Saturdays issue. 1t is the
Ecpinion Of all dist Interested people at the

howard as well as bully, AMI no effort OF
ftbs Democrat can relieve him from that po-
.slion.
The New York Herald very properly ridi-
|tles the idea of Brooks having any fear

hapions knowing who he was, andhc might

LIQUID take the same side Of the question,
though we DO not think it will succeed in

Which has been rendered against Brooks by
