Still the vide world wass. Yet there is not
a wag of it tha. stngs joy or consolation to our
Ku-Kluxers. On last Friday evening. the Re
pub'ieans met at the Court House, to organize
Tanners Club, when 81 persons enrolled. and
gave their names and pledged their support to
THE Hero and Statesman who can and will
guide the Ship of State to secure haIbor of
Peace.
Short. pithy speeches were male, and good
feeling prevailed. IL is clear that our people
are on the alert and wi !e awake. and Brown
County will talk in manner that will be
terror to the Ku- Kluxers.
Well, on Saturday night, the Ku- Kluxers
came out, in pursuance of a call of a weeks
standing. They met at the Court House-that is.
Miles and one other; Miles made motion that
Mr.. whitcomb act as Chairman. but there was
no one to vote-ail the rest Of the crowd were
Republicans. and of course they would not vote
for him, Mr.. Whitcomb. Well, Miles then
went on to speak; the burden of his plaint was
the Constitution aext. or 2ndly, the Con-
stetution; Sd, the Consfofu-shun.
When he closel. he invited the Republicans
to answer, whereupou Mr.. Selleg went for and
soon wiped Eih out. Here there grew up
feeling, and prominent citizen, whose biog
raphy was published in the Sentinel a week or
two ago, (Which we would recommend to the
favorable consideration Of persons engaged il
the sale of biosraphies,) took the floor to re-
