Gen. Thomas NJ. Browne.

We are sorry to notice that
some of those whom we regard
as our best citizens-chris.ians,
have adopted the sentiment that
"once sinner, always a sinner"
and hence their mission and that
Of the Master, is complete fail

Of some Of our citizens at a tenn
perance meeting on last Friday
night week, in this city, where it
is published that "the speakers
openly repudiated the nomination
Of Tom Browne as on insult to the
temperance people.
The Rev. T. A. Goodwin, editor
OF the Indianapolis American, has
this to say Of our candidate for
Governor, to which we ask the
candid attention OF our readers:
"With too many Of the very best
of our army officers Gen. Browne
found, at the close of the war,
that the habi. of using intoxicat
ing liquors had grown upon him
to ar alarming extent but, with a
resolution and firmnes5 no. often
eQuailed he threw off the tolls
OF his enemy and rosa above the
fate of hundreds Of the nen who
were brave in battle but feeble
against their greater foo. Gen.
Browne is and has been for years
strictly sober man, unless those
who ought to know him intimately
are deceived. He is wanting in
none of the elements of popular
