ments: Yes, it cannot be denied that
those three essentials are very much
needed in the Brownlow party at this
time-particularly the integrity" "
And elsewhere the Press and Times
says that the radical wstchfires are
lighted We are glad to hear it. The
brighter they burn the more surely they
viii reveal the corruption, the malice,
and the dishonesty of the BrownlOw
camp.

The same paper thus foreibiy urges

vote at all, oeeauss they are disgusted
with the situation; we hope they will
think and act differently when they re-
feet upon the value Of every vote. and

better. Remember Connecticut, and ey-
cry man 10 the polls
