To the Edftor Of The Trfbunc.
SIR Six weeks have elapsed since the
separation OF the Brown faction from the Republican
party in this state and just four remain till the election.
Time has developed the fun scope and purpose OF the
! movement. From the first day Of the "split" the
contest has increased in eanestness and the line Of

against superior Numbers We must yield them sympathy and
time admiration for their enemy they
struggling against and for lie anti Radicals stand nhuiy by and
see them over shersi would he lttlc than aermc.'
Since then the lesser journals have followed this lead,
and today Mr.. Brown is supported with more or less
ardor By every Democratic paper in the state. This,
however does not lessen the zeal in his behalf of The S.

schism, and that paper is very vigorously contest
